METHODOLOGY
PepperCube Consultants conducted an extensive study in January to identify the most loved brands among LMD readers. Commissioned by LMD, the research aimed to capture the preferences of the magazine’s discerning audience through robust methodologies and detailed data analysis.
The study was based on a randomly selected sample of 400 respondents drawn from LMD’s readership database. Each participant was contacted on the telephone and interviewed by a team of trained professionals.
Reflecting the diversity of LMD’s readership, the sample comprised 52 percent female and 48 percent male respondents. Geographically, participants represented key regions including the Western, Southern, Central, North-Western and Northern Provinces.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS A structured questionnaire covering 45 categories was administered to all respondents, spanning a broad spectrum of corporate, product and service brands across sectors such as motor, aviation, banking, beverages, healthcare, retail and telecommunications. Each interview, conducted electronically, lasted between 10 and 20 minutes.
Following data collection, PepperCube Consultants undertook a comprehensive process of data cleaning, validation, coding and ranking. The responses were then analysed to identify the most loved brands based on the preferences expressed by LMD’s readership.
Underpinned by rigorous research methodologies and in-depth analysis, the study provides valuable insights into brand preferences across multiple sectors.
