Robustness and reliability

The Brand Customer Loyalty Awards are organised by the Korea Consumer Forum and Brand Keys, and honour brands that build strong connections with their consumers, based on nationwide perception studies and surveys.

The selection of candidate brands is based on preliminary research including media reports, social media and online portals, as well as brand evaluations and expert certifications. The consumer survey was conducted from 17-30 March 2025, using online surveys and one-on-one telephone interviews, requiring email authentication to validate responses.

The research model used is the BCLI (Brand Customer Loyalty Index), developed from the CLEI model of Brand Keys, a leading US research and consulting firm, used in 36 countries.

This model assesses the future value of a brand, considering emotional and attitudinal aspects of consumer perception and behaviour, enabling companies to prepare strategic responses for sustainable growth. The BCLI measures customer loyalty through a structured index that includes emotional loyalty, attitudinal loyalty and switching intention.

The survey items include brand trustworthiness, brand attachment, repurchase intention, recommendation intention and switching intention, rated on a 7-point scale. Montes achieved an overall index score of 30.59.

The specific results were: Brand Reliability (e1) with 6.23, Brand Attachment (e2) with 6.02, Repurchase Intention (a1) with 6.26, Recommendation Intention (a2) with 6.27, and Switching Intention (s1) with 5.82. These results highlight Montes' leadership over competing brands in the Korean market.
