At John’s Crazy Socks, we have a mission to spread happiness. We don’t just deliver socks; we deliver happiness to our customers. We are always checking with our customers to get their feedback.

A score of 92 marks John’s Crazy Socks as a world class performer. 

What is the Net Promoter Score? 

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures how willing customers are to recommend a company’s products or services to others. It creates an index with possible scores ranging from -100 to 100. Organizations use the NPS to assess overall customer satisfaction and the customer’s loyalty to the brand. The closer a score is to 100, the better. 

How Does John’s Crazy Socks Achieve Such a High Net Promoter Score? 

Mark X. Cronin, John’s co-founder and father said, “The Net Promoter Score is one way to measure how we are doing. It is one way to determine whether we are connecting with our customers and fulfilling our promise to spread happiness.” 

John’s Crazy Socks focuses on creating customer experiences, not just transactions. We know that our customers want a great selection, so we offer more than 4,000 different socks, making John’s Crazy Socks the world’s largest sock store. We have to provide great products and with over 29,000 5-star reviews, our customers tell us they love the products. And we need to provide great service, which we do with our same day shipping and Happiness Creators who are ready to attend to any customer question or need. 

But there is more than great selection, great products, and great service. There are the personal connections we make with our customers like including a handwritten thank you note from John and candy in very package. And there is our social mission. Our customers know when they buy from us, they help us employ people with differing abilities (more than half our colleagues have a differing ability) and they help us Give Back (we start by pledging 5 percent of our earnings to the Special Olympics). Our customers help us spread happiness.
