Technology Retail in the UK
Argos has kept its place at the top of the UK Technology Retail rankings for a third consecutive wave, after its Overall Effort Score increased by +1 point.
The increase comes as three out of four pillars saw an increase of +1 or +2 points. However, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be carried out to reach the 70 score it had at the beginning of this year.
Speed of Resolving the Problem has continued its decline, dropping by -1 to 59. This brings a decline of -20 since the beginning of this year, giving Argos a real focus area as we enter the second half of the year.
The reason for this drop is due to 6% less of its customers saying Argos made it ‘very easy’ to achieve what they set out to do.
