New Media Metrics recently conducted research to determine the most appealing retailers — those that have the most “emotional attachment” with their customers.

As reported by Jennifer Rooney for Forbes: “Holiday shopping season is in full swing. Stores are locked in a heated battle for consumers’ dollars. Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and every other day in between are heralded as the one-and-only chance to get the biggest deals on gifts for others and even some choice goods for yourself. But some retailers have an edge going in: consumers’ love for them. Turns out shoppers are more emotionally attached to some retailers than others.”
