Contract - December 2012 - (Page 69)

The 2012 Contract Brand Report Awareness Survey asked a random sample of Contract magazine subscribers to identify the top three manufacturers in 32 product categories. A total of 355 respondents participated, with the survey instructing them to respond only in categories with which they have familiarity. All responses were unaided, and no brand name prompts or lists were provided to elicit unbiased responses. As a quality control measure, respondents were double screened to restrict participants to either an architectural or design function in one of four types of companies: architectural firm, design firm, firm providing both architectural and design services, and corporate architectural or design function (not affiliated with an industry manufacturing or distribution company). Responses were tabulated and reported for each of the 32 categories as a total, architect, designer, both, and other. This survey, conducted by Aspen Media & Market Research, provides a statistically valid comparison of results for the 2012 Contract Brand Report Awareness Survey with an overall margin of error of +/- 5.38 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. In a given category, when multiple companies received the same number of responses, a tie is indicated.
