Price, service, quality and prestige
The ranking was published in Focus Money magazine and is part of the Kundenlieblinge 2014 [2014 customer favourites] study. The analysis used a Web monitoring tool to evaluate social media sources and online news items, and to analyse comments in the four categories of price, service, quality and prestige. Using mathematical methods, the results of the mentions were considered in relation to the brand with the most mentions per category. In addition, the ratio of positive to negative mentions and the number of mentions in one category were also evaluated.
