How has a personal experience with a product recall influenced your trust in that brand and similar products?
@9L9785T1yr1Y
As long as they replace or compensate, there will always be mistakes.
@9L976ZL1yr1Y
Finding out that certain brands support things that I go against makes me use the product of that brand less.
@9L972PW1yr1Y
then made me not want to buy that product anymore.
@9L9753J1yr1Y
It makes me more skeptical of buying a product from said brand.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you determine if a sale is truly saving you money or just enticing you to buy more?
@9KW2W221yr1Y
By comparing the prices before the sale and the sale price if the price before the sale is not that much higher than the other one then I know that I am not saving any money cause im just going to buy more but if the pirce is lower than what i would have originally got it for then i would be saving money.
@9KW39231yr1Y
compare two products and learn more about the safety of the plants themselves
@9KW2YR41yr1Y
The price of something vs how much you're getting out of it, whether it's lifelong or temporary.
@9KW2LTXIndependent1yr1Y
By deducing whether a products lifespan and maintenance, when applicable, is conducive to a lessening of expenditure... fiscal or otherwise.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you respond to a company that handles a service outage with poor communication?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When have you felt misled by an 'all-natural' label, and did it change how you evaluate product claims?
@9JB8CF81yr1Y
I believe producers should be transparent about the origins and potential downsides of their products.
It is important to know what is being made, how, and where it is from. I think the consumer has a right to know what they are consuming.
@9JFCMGD1yr1Y
The tie effects of generically modified foods cannot be known at this point and tenders the population no more than guinea pigs within the profit schemes of large corporations.
@9JBBJVF1yr1Y
All natural is a misleading and food labels must be well regulated.
@9JB79CC1yr1Y
I was misled when a box of food said no gmo even though there was lots i feel that they should have complete sincerity on what’s in the food
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel about the environmental responsibilities of the companies whose products you use every day?
@9HGGJ8X2yrs2Y
I think that companies should be more careful with what they do to the environment in the process of making their product
@9HGFZCX2yrs2Y
I think that it is their responsibility to create recyclable packaging for their products if we are using them every day. Litter in nature is a huge problem, and if we are going to continue this way, the products need to be compostable or biodegradable.
I feel a bit Iffy there is a growing concern for the environmental impact of products and many people expect companies to take greater responsibility
@9HGFQBT2yrs2Y
They have shown too be very good but also bad in package wise.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What makes you remain loyal to a brand, even when you encounter minor issues with their products?
@9HXN2WZ2yrs2Y
When they immediately own up to their mistakes, notify who was hurt because of it and immediately rectify it without being hounded about it. Then place safeguards to ensure it doesn't continue
@9HXMSR5 2yrs2Y
I don't remain loyal to any brand. I am inclined to buy whatever i want from whatever brand I want.
@9HXN3LG2yrs2Y
Xbox is better than PlayStation and nothing they say will make me change my mind
@9HXN42Y2yrs2Y
Mishaps in purchases can be expedited and resolved in your favor.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if a product you bought did not work as advertised?
@9H7FJFMIndependent2yrs2Y
I would certainly not feel too great. I am always in favor of extensive consumer protection in pretty much every case.
@9H7FDV62yrs2Y
Should be able to return the item at no charge to me, or have the item replaced. Perhaps should have a limit on the number of times an item can be returned, to make sure there is no scam on the part of the purchaser
@9H7FH2F2yrs2Y
It doesn't work. It does the opposite of what it says
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you found out a product was made using unfair labor practices, would you still buy it?
@9H4QWX82yrs2Y
I would likely still buy it, depending on how unfair the labor practices are. If it an amazing product that I use daily, it would be very difficult to let go of it.
@9H4QRGZ2yrs2Y
I would not buy it because those people if making that product are getting abused or not the pay they should be getting should be aloud to go find different jobs and live a good life.
@9H4QQ282yrs2Y
yes, racism is just made up and its really annoying
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would finding a hidden fee on your bill affect your trust in a service provider?
@9HGDX8Z2yrs2Y
I would be angry towards a service provider for trying to be sneaky.
@9HGDK53Independent2yrs2Y
I think it's not trusting to find that. Your hard earned money being stolen from you because you didn't see the fine print.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When making a significant purchase, do you consult multiple sources, and how do you decide which ones to trust?
@9HXNZQD2yrs2Y
Yes, the ones with seemingly reliable reviews. Also the ones who involve more details and even negative things about the product.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How important is it to you that a company is held accountable for false advertising?
@9HGFTXD2yrs2Y
Very important, as it decieves people and can sometimes be life threatening.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever boycotted a product or a company, and if so, what sparked that decision?
@9HQ5WFZ2yrs2Y
Starbucks, supporting israel and silencing their workers
Starbucks, i boycotted Starbucks in support of the union workers and in support of a cease-fire
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If a product failed you shortly after purchase, would you prefer a refund, replacement, or repair, and why?
@9HPJNKMIndependent2yrs2Y
I'd prefer a replacement, because I still wanted the item, and would prefer it to be fixed so I can still have it.
@9HPJMHS2yrs2Y
I would prefer a repair or replacement, because it may have just been a faulty version of the product and i can always just get another that isn’t faulty.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe it's fair for companies to sell products without clear instructions or safety warnings?
@9H867JW2yrs2Y
Consumer protection is extremely important, and companies should be legally obligated to disclose detailed information about what exactly is contained in their products. People have a right to know exactly what they are consuming and what possible health risks there are with the ingredients in the products they buy.
@9H83WSS2yrs2Y
No, it is not fair we should know as consumers what we are consuming.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When was the last time you truly felt a company listened to and valued your feedback, and why?
@9HV368R2yrs2Y
I provided my phone number to a social website and requested that my personal information not be shared. I do believe that the company honored my request and maintained my privacy.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does it affect your buying choices when you see 'Made Locally' labels?
@9KW5SDZRepublican1yr1Y
I usually like to support and buy locally made things
@9KW5N5B1yr1Y
I dont realy care i just look at the price and mabey compare like protin and calories.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you changed a buying habit after learning more about a company's ethos?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's your reaction to products that are cheaper due to less ethical production methods?
Our employers should also be ethical and pay wages that allow workers to be consumers of ethical products.
@9KD3RMT1yr1Y
Ethical production should be used for all products consumed
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What are your thoughts on the ease of access to product reviews in today's online shopping environment?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's your approach when a product comes with an app that asks for unnecessary permissions?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were affected by a data breach after using a product or service, how would you expect the company to respond?
@9HGFVSF2yrs2Y
Id expect them to get some info off you and help you until they can give you your info or stop it
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How much does the ethical reputation of a company influence your purchasing decisions?
@9HGFLQKRepublican2yrs2Y
Their ethics can greatly influence my purchasing decisions. Same with their beliefs.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you feel that the perceived quality of a product justifies a significant price increase?
@9KW6DNB1yr1Y
I don't think it deserve a SIGNIFICANT price increase, but the product should be marketed at a reasonable price for the quality it has.
@8DFY9YVLibertarian 1yr1Y
People are willing to pay according to the value they ascribe to the item, which is different for everyone.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If someone gave you a misleading review that led to a disappointing purchase, how did that affect your trust in reviews?
@9J7N7GYProgressive1yr1Y
I would not trust them at all and never purchase from them again
@9J7N226Republican1yr1Y
Bots already flood reviews on top of the fake reviews, all should be taken with a grain of salt.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever encountered a hidden auto-renewal subscription in a purchase and what was your response?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If a product you loved was recalled for safety, would you buy it again after the issue was resolved?
@9KWBZDZ1yr1Y
It depends on what the issue was and if there was intent, deliberately overlocking/ covering up or something else that would lead to trust issues.
@9KW6BFLIndependent1yr1Y
If they explained why it was recalled and made sure that it wouldn’t be a issue again and actually admitted to there customers that there was something wrong they messed up then yes if not no I don’t trust them cause they weren’t forth coming.
