Here’s the latest bit of good news for the people behind Kelley Blue Book and those of you who trust us to make car buying and selling better:
Kelley Blue Book has been named Online Auto Shopping Brand of the Year by the 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend study. In earning this prestigious award, Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com was ranked ahead of the five other competitors in its Online Auto Shopping category. Conducted by Harris Interactive, the country’s top-rated Brand Equity study tabulated responses from more than 38,500 U.S. consumers to determine how effectively a company establishes connections with its customers and users, specifically focusing on how well it lives up to their expectations with respect to providing information that is both relevant and trustworthy.
