Roy Morgan has announced the winners of its seventh annual Customer Satisfaction Awards for Australia. The awards recognise outstanding levels of customer satisfaction, as judged by more than 50,000 consumers via the Roy Morgan Single Source survey. The award categories cover sectors such as banking, insurance, superannuation, automotive, travel and hospitality, retail, telecommunications and utilities. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says the Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards continue to be the benchmark by which customer satisfaction is measured, and the 31 businesses honoured in the 2017 awards share one crucial characteristic: their unrivalled dedication to ensuring their customers are satisfied, and their success as rated by their customers.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 19-Feb-18

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that more than one in five (2.54 million) Australians aged 14+ with comprehensive car insurance either changed companies or renewed with the same company after approaching others in the year to December 2017. This represents an increase of nearly 400,000 over the last four years. The survey also shows that 78.5% of comprehensive car insurance policies were automatically renewed without holders approaching another company, compared with 80.9% in 2013. Meanwhile, the proportion of comprehensive policy holders who approach another company before they renew with their existing company has increased from 12.1% in 2013 to 15.5% in 2017.

High satisfaction with private health insurance claims

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 19-Feb-18

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey of Australians aged +14 with private health insurance has found that overall satisfaction with private health insurance funds was 71.0% in the year to December 2017, compared with 73.6% in 2016. The survey also shows that the satisfaction level of people who made a health insurance claim was 88.8% in 2017. The high level of satisfaction with claims suggests that the decrease in satisfaction is more likely the result of increased premiums rather than problems with claims. Only around 5% of fund members switch private health insurance funds due to problems with claims, with the main reasons given by over 70% for changing funds are the high cost and increased premiums.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 16-Feb-18

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that over six million Australians participated in swimming either regularly or occasionally in the last three months, making it the nation’s leading sport. Swimming is one of the rare Australian sporting pursuits where more women (3.45 million) participate than men (2.58 million). Analysis using Roy Morgan’s Helix Personas consumer profiling tools shows that more than a third of Metrotechs (34.6%), Aussie Achievers (33.5%) and Leading Lifestyles (33.4%) participate in swimming. Combined together more than half of all Australian swimmers come from one of these three communities. Meanwhile, analysis of the broad range of sports being contested at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games shows that more than 9.3 million Australians (46.4%) played Commonwealth Games sports regularly or occasionally in 2017.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 11.3% of Australian women purchase their superannuation through a "professional", compared to 14.4% of men. The survey also shows that just 68.8% of women have super, compared to 73.6% of men, while the average super balance for women is $133,000, which is only 71.9% of the male average ($185,000). Given that women have much lower superannuation balances than men, there is considerable potential to close the gap if they were able to make greater use of professional advisors such as financial planners, accountants and stockbrokers

A Roy Morgan Single Source shows that the proportion of Australians aged 14+ who intend to take a holiday in the next 12 months rose to 70% in the December 2017 quarter. This compares with 68 per cent in the three months to December 2016. The survey also shows that the proportion of Australians who intend to take a domestic holiday in the next 12 months has risen from 52% to 54%, while overseas holiday intention is the same as it was a year ago (11%). Meanwhile, analysis using Roy Morgan’s Helix Personas consumer-profiling tool shows that the highly ambitious and well earning, socially aware Young and Platinum Persona is most likely to be planning a holiday in the next 12 months, while people from the Persona known as Strugglestreet are the least likely group to have any kind of holiday plans in the pipeline.

15 million Australians read magazines across print & online

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 9-Feb-18

Roy Morgan has released the Australian Magazine Readership report for the 12 months to December 2017. A total of 12,565,000 Australians aged 14+ (62.5 per cent) read print magazines – down 93,000 (0.7 per cent) from a year ago. However, the audience reach of magazines is extended to 15 million Australians 14+ when you include magazine reading online (either via the web or an app). The withdrawal of major publishers from audited circulation results for magazines just over a year ago means Roy Morgan’s readership results continue to be the only truly independent measure of magazine performance now available. "Coles Magazine" remains the most widely-read print magazine, with an average readership of 4,152,000 per issue (up 11.3 per cent). Meanwhile, seven of Australia’s 10 leading magazines ranked by cross-platform audiences retain a significantly larger readership via their print editions than their digital offerings – a clear contrast to their print newspaper cousins, although this picture is slowly changing as more magazine publishers expand and refine their online offerings.
