Media Advisory: Forrester’s Customer Experience Forum 2010, June 29-30, 2010, In New York
WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORR) Customer Experience Forum 2010: Creating Breakthrough Customer Experiences
Why do more and more companies treat customer experience as a key differentiator? And why are more enterprises appointing chief customer officers to lead cultural transformations?
Forrester’s research shows that one reason rises well above the rest: Executives want to gain an advantage over their firm’s direct competitors.
It’s a smart play. Companies that deliver a superior experience have customers who are more likely to buy another product or service from them, less likely to buy a product or service from a competitor, and more likely to recommend the company to a friend. Even conservative ROI models show that this increased loyalty can add hundreds of millions of dollars to the bottom line for large enterprises.
Forrester’s Customer Experience Forum, designed for Customer Experience professionals and their marketing colleagues, will show how business can benefit from improving customer experience by exposing best practices for helping their company meet buyer needs and engage customer emotions. The event will bring together leaders from top companies in a variety of industries like financial services, retail, media, and telecommunications. The one thing they share in common: a commitment to improving customer experience.
