These 10 brands have the highest customer loyalty—Apple isn’t in the top 3 - CNBC

Alphabet has earned some negative press this year â from thousands of layoffs to regulatory challenges â but people keep on using Google, Gmail and Chrome anyway.

The tech giant has the most loyal customers in the country, according to a recent report from DesignRush, a B2B firm that analyzes and ranks professional agencies. The company's "Customer Loyalty Index" evaluated Fortune 100 companies across a series of six metrics, excluding 40 companies that lacked sufficient data or didn't interact directly with customers.

Those metrics: company finances, average rating and volume of customer reviews, social media following and engagement, customer service-related Google searches, popularity ratings from market research firm YouGov, and net promoter score (NPS), which is based on the likelihood that a customer will recommend a brand or service to their friends.

The number of people with at least $100 million has doubled since 2003 - CNBC

The population of the super wealthy, or those worth $100 million or more, doubled over the past 20 years as asset prices soared around the world, according to a new report.

There are now 28,420 so-called centi-millionaires worldwide, up 12% over last year and more than twice the number in 2003, according to a new report from Henley & Partners, a wealth and migration advisory firm, which used data from New World Wealth.

The surge in centi-millionaires reflects the rapid rise in asset values fueled by low interest rates, which boosted the values of everything from real estate and land to stocks, private companies and art. The rise of tech wealth, especially in the U.S., has also helped fuel the growth in the super wealthy. The number of billionaires in the world has skyrocketed from under 500 people in 2003 to more than 2,600 people today, according to Forbes and other wealth-tracking firms.

30 Under 30 Asia 2023: Meet The Up-And-Coming Designers Championing Slow Fashion - Forbes

Slow fashion is on the rise. Concerning statistics about the effects of fast fashion on the environment has led many designers, including those on this year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia: The Arts list to think consciously when starting their labels. The result is beautifully-crafted and ethically-produced garments transcending fads and seasonal trends.

Indian designers in particular are rising to the occasion–and having fun while at it. Harsh Agarwal has been collecting fabrics and designing his own clothes since seventh grade. That passion found a natural outlet in 2019 when he launched menswear brand Harago (a derivative of his name), which incorporates traditional Indian craftsmanship, such as embroidery and block printing, in its casual wear designs.

The Jaipur-based label’s inspiration came in 2017 when Agarwal worked on sustainability initiatives as a U.N. intern in New York. He wanted a career that blended artisanship and eco-friendly concepts in fashion, so after finishing his degree at Symbiosis International University in economics in Pune in 2018, he traveled across India to visit artisans’ homes and stores to understand their work.

A refresher on business air-travel etiquette - The Economist

The covid-19 pandemic has, thanks to Zoom, killed off many work trips. But not all of them. Some in-person meetings far afield are coming back. And so is business flying. Plenty of obvious edicts of air-travel etiquette are effortlessly acquired, along with air miles, merely by flying frequently. As a sophisticated traveller, you probably know the drill by heart. Still, air-rage incidents are up markedly compared with pre-pandemic times—by 50% in America and a whopping 200% in Britain. Some people could do with a refresher.

Many rules of aeroplane decorum apply to all travel. But as a business traveller, you represent not just yourself but also your employer, whose logo you may well be sporting on your jacket or laptop bag. So hewing to them is critical. They begin to apply before you board the aircraft. Arrive at the gate early and in style—do not run for your life only to be panting embarrassingly or even worse, hold the plane and make 200 people wait impatiently while you browse gadgets at Duty Free. Queue-cutters and pushers have their own place in hell.

Once on board, remember the basics. Do not keep your headphones on when spoken to, make a fuss when you are told that the chicken tikka is finished or, heaven forbid, perform any personal grooming in public. Bare feet on the seat or bulkhead are a no-no. Aggressive typing on your laptop is, too. Manspreading and “galley yoga” in the flight attendants’ work area are to be avoided.
