13. - The answer to the question above is what helps measure the Top of Mind brands of companies, products and services, which is given
spontaneously. This means there no options are given to the respondent and only one unique answer can be given. The respondent can cite any
brand he/she wishes. This is why in some cases brands which are not part of a particular category are named.
- For all questions of the study, we have a total sample of 300 interviews to complete.
-To determine the Top of Mind brand in every category studied, a statistical test was conducted (Z test, differences in proportion), with a 95%
confidence level.
-The graphs depict every brand that was mentioned by at least 1.5% of the sample. Numbers were rounded up to exclude any decimals. Other
brands with mentions of 1.49% or less were all summed and are represented in the category “other responses”
- The graphs also show the portion of respondents who “didn’t know or could not remember” any brand for that specific category.
- The same criteria were used to calculate total Awareness for each category.
Methodology
“What is the brand that first comes to
mind when you think of _______?”
