The Research
Recent research has underscored the importance of personal values in consumer behavior. A notable number of U.S. adults prefer brands that mirror their beliefs and principles. A study by Ipsos revealed that about 70% of respondents either strongly or somewhat agree that their purchasing decisions are influenced by whether a brand reflects their personal values.
The Ipsos data indicates that a substantial portion of consumers have taken action because a company does not reflect their values. Within just the past three months, almost one-quarter (23%) said they had stopped using a company’s products or services due to its stance on a particular issue.
