Fawkes Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:31:24 +0000 http://www.betleywhitehorne.com/bwlog/?p=96#comment-597 This is a very interesting study which I think should be taken seriously by all companies trying to increase turnover. It's quantifiable proof that good design in beneficial to businesses. I think this can be seen in many small business who have used good design to make a big splash. Consumers are looking for more choice and brands that reflect their values. I think it works at more levels than just advertising, branding, talking to customers, it's also the company ethos, and how employees feel working for the company - are they proud of the image there company projects? Is it 'cool' and 'exciting', or 'strong', 'reassuring' etc. I'd be interested to see how the companies selected for both indexes have performed during the recent 'credit crunch'. Thanks for the interesting read. This is a very interesting study which I think should be taken seriously by all companies trying to increase turnover.
