A three-item, seven-point Likert-type scale measuring a consumer's perception of the quality and reach of communications from a specific company. Items assess whether communications are informative about company matters, visible through frequent exposure, and believable. Developed by adapting item phrases from Kelly & Stephenson (1967) for a large cross-sectional study of 5,600 consumers across 30 German cities in which a focal retail chain operated. The scale was used as one component of a broader structural model examining reciprocal effects between corporate reputation and store equity. While developed in a retail context, the item phrasing is broad enough to apply to corporate communications of a PR or advertising nature more generally.
