Unified customer intelligence startup Chattermill recently analysed feedback from over 152,000 responses to some of the most popular fashion retail brands, revealing Asos and New Look as the ones with the best customer experience.

It looked at publicly available Trustpilot reviews, registered from 1st January 2021 to 4th September 2022, from customers buying at Asos, H&M, New Look, Next and Zara.

Asos received consistently high scores over the past 12 months, while New Look was on an upward climb after a relatively low period.

The data indicated a significant decline in customer loyalty across the retail industry as a whole.

The decrease can be linked to a rise in customer returns (and the hassle tied to it), complaints about delivery, and inconsistent product sizing and fitting.
