美國民衆:蘋果高層更能勝任管理美國

Apple (33 percent) would do a better job than politicians taking over U.S. government operations, says a new Breakout BrandsTM survey by rbb Communications. The national survey tapped opinions on a variety of brand preferences.

營銷傳播公司"rbb"近日發起了一項關於"突破性品牌"公司的調查，結果顯示，33%的美國民衆認爲：與政客們相比，蘋果公司的領導團隊更能勝任美國政府的管理工作。這項全國性調查收集了人們對於各種品牌的意見。

Walt Disney (28 percent) earned the second spot on the list of brands that consumers would vote for to run the government, followed by American Express (18 percent), Facebook (11 percent) and Starbucks (10 percent) rounding out the top five. Americans identify with companies that focus on their needs – more specifically, brands that "get" them.

在管理政府的能力榜上，排名第二的是迪士尼公司，獲得了28%的支持率。排名前五的還有：18%支持率的美國運通、11%支持率的臉書以及10%支持率的星巴克。美國人十分認同那些關注他們需求的品牌——更確切的說，這些品牌更"懂"他們。

"Building a relationship with today's consumer is a lot like dating," says Christine Barney, managing partner and CEO of rbb Communications. "Brands like Apple do well at the dating game because they get into the consumers' heads to achieve the kind of meaningful emotional connections that lead to loyalty."

"rbb"管理合夥人兼首席執行官克莉絲汀·巴尼（Christine Barney）說："現如今，拉攏消費者的過程更像在與消費者約會。蘋果等品牌在約會中的表現就很好，因爲他們能走入消費者心中，生成非常有意義的情感連接，進而提高消費者的品牌忠誠度。"

"American consumers have high expectations," added Barney. "In fact, research shows that 57 percent of Americans are more likely to trust a company that consistently offers excellent customer service over one that consistently offers excellent prices."

巴尼補充道："美國消費者對產品有很高的期望值。事實上有調查顯示，相對於不斷推出優惠價格的品牌，57%的美國人更喜歡那些始終如一爲客戶提供出色服務的品牌。"
