Brand analysis

It’s not easy at the top in Customer Effort. Amazon’s lead at the top of the Technology Retail in the UK table in Q4 2024 lasted for just one wave. The brand is now third.

It’s a particularly cruel result considering Amazon’s Overall Effort Score increased by +2 wave on wave, following rises in three of the four pillars – ‘Style of Communication’, ‘Knowledge & Expertise’ and ‘Speed of Resolving Problems’.

‘Valuing the Customer’, which plateaued wave on wave, should be the area of focus. Our advice would be to look at the breadth of solutions they are presenting their customers during contacts.

The brand's decline down the Technology Retail in the UK table mirrors its drop seen in the equivalent US table where, for the first time ever, it is not top.
