What is the most trusted specialty home store brand in 2022?
America's Most Trusted® SPECIALTY HOME STORE
This year, in the Lifestory Research 2022 America's Most Trusted® Specialty Home Store Study, we discovered that Home Depot is the most trusted brand. Home Depot received the best reviews and trust ratings among the most popular specialty home store brands as judged by consumers. As America's Most Trusted specialty home store, Home Depot obtained a Net Trust Quotient Score of 113.9 and earned the 5 Star Trust Rating. So what are the best specialty home store brands? The America's Most Trusted 2022 Specialty Home Store Study answers this question clearly.
The 2022 ranking is based on 6,705 opinions of people surveyed between January and December in the United States. Brands included in the final ranking were nationally recognized by people familiar with specialty home store brands. To be considered, brands needed to receive enough survey responses to achieve a 95% confidence level with no more than a 3% margin of error. If a brand had a low brand awareness and did not have enough brand judgments, these brands were excluded from the brand rankings.
Trust is measured with the Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score, in which consumers evaluate each specialty home store brand. The trust score is formulated based on how thousands of people evaluate brands in the study. Study participants' responses are classified and defined by three levels of consumer trust: Trust Advocates, Trust Neutral, and Trust Antagonists. A Trust Advocate expresses significant trust in a brand, whereas a Trust Antagonist vocalizes distrust in a brand
