Attention, holiday shoppers! What better time of year to talk about the customer experience? That’s what we measured last week with the Forbes Halo 100, published on December 16 in partnership with HundredX. The Dallas-based data and analytics company collected feedback from more than 110,000 U.S. customers on more than 2.8 million interactions with 2,000-plus brands. In addition to giving us insight into how well brands are actually serving customers, that data enabled us to see how well these companies are serving different groups of customers, and how well their brands fare when it comes to perceptions of trust and brand values. For more on the methodology, click here.


Now, we’ve dug further into the data to reveal the top brands by category. While these companies didn’t crack the Halo 100, they were recognized as the best in their categories by customers surveyed by HundredX. Does anyone love their wireless provider? Maybe not. But Verizon Communications outscored its rivals in a category where customers can be tough to please.

A stack of coins with the words consumer spending muted amid rising prices
November 7, 2024
Consumers are navigating still-high prices with resilience. HundredX analysis, based on millions of pieces of customer feedback from July 2021 through April 2023 across 3,200+ companies, indicates inflation remains persistent, but consumers are cautiously hanging on. New Consumer Price Index (CPI) data shows prices increased 3.4% in April from a year ago, compared to 3.5% in March, which highlights a slight easing in inflation month-to-month. Still, HundredX data shows that consumers still feel negative about prices in general, pointing to inflation’s stickiness and consumer frustrations over the consistently high prices of everyday goods. Generally, we’ve seen that changes to HundredX’s Price favorability index are typically inversely correlated with movement in the CPI levels (i.e., inflation) reported by the US government.
