What is an NPS score and why is Costco's considered world class

Updated: Nov 6, 2020

NPS stands for Net Promoter Score which is a metric used in customer experience programs. NPS measures the loyalty of customers to a company.


Since Costco's business depends so much on membership retention, a high NPS score isn't just a "good to have", it's essential.


Any NPS score over 70 is considered world class. Costco scores a 79!

According to Retently, there are a few important factors for a high NPS score. Costco definitely connects on the following:


High Customer Retention and Growth

1. Simple, Reliable Services & Products

2. Fast, Straightforward, Quality Services

3. Amazing Customer Service

4. Unique, Innovative Products and Offers

How does this impact packaging?

We, as packaging professionals [and brand owners], need to create solutions that preserves Costco's image, loyalty and perspective. Things like


  • Appropriate environmental choices

  • Easy opening features

  • Premium print & materials

  • Structurally sounds designs

  • Easily shopped pallets

  • Clean professional lines
