brandreport 2011 The 2011 Contract Brand Report Awareness Survey asked Contract readers to identify their top three preferred manufacturers in each of 32 categories. This online survey utilized a random sample of subscribers, and a total of 433 respondents participated. As a quality control measure, respondents were double screened by list identiﬁcation and self-reported occupation/company aﬃliation to restrict participants to solely architecture or design professionals in one of four types of companies: an architectural ﬁrm, a design ﬁrm, a ﬁrm providing both architectural and design services, or a corporate architectural or design function (not aﬃliated with an indust manufacturing or distribution company). Readers were asked to comment only on categories with which they have familiarity. Due to the breadth of the survey, not all respondents answered eve catego . All replies were unaided, and no brand name prompts or lists were provided to ensure unbiased responses. This survey, administered by Aspen Media and Market Research, provides a statistically valid comparison of results for the 2011 Contract Brand Report Awareness Survey with an overall margin of error of +/- 4.8 percent at the 95 percent conﬁdence level. In a given catego , when multiple companies received the same number of responses, a tie is indicated. The most environmentally sustainable manufacturers Respondents were asked this question about sustainability across all product type categories: Which do you consider to be the most environmentally sustainable manufacturer(s) serving our indust ?
