Trends in consumer perceptions of retailers and brands during COVID-19

The eighth wave of the ongoing weekly study by AMC Global and OpinionRoute was released today. The study findings are designed to help clients and industry leaders navigate quickly changing consumer behavior during the crisis.

This week’s study revisited the first study that was released on April 3 to look at trends in consumer perception regarding retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG) and automotive brands during the health crises. Respondents were asked the same question: “How has this company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted your feelings toward the company?”
