The index score was gathered by YouGov through measuring the overall brand health, which was calculated by taking the average impression, quality, value, satisfaction, recommendation and reputation from consumers.
By measuring the reputation of such brands, YouGov intended to get a measure of the high street’s strength and longevity.
The data follows the information gatherer’s Is there still hope for the high street report released in January 2019, which looked at the future of traditional bricks and mortar retail in 2018.
Challenging year
“There’s no question that 2018 was a challenging year for retailers, with numerous profit warnings, store closures and job losses. Familiar names such as Toys “R” Us and Maplin disappeared altogether,” it said.
“Online shopping has clearly been a major factor in declining high street sales. However, while much has been made of the ‘death of the high street’, some predominantly bricks-and-mortar brands such as Primark continue to profit.”
Drinks brands, including wine, beer, cider, spirits and softs were also measured in the recent YouGov data set to determine the healthiest brands.
