Inaugural Forrester Voice Of The Customer Awards To Be Announced At Event
Forrester’s Customer Experience Forum 2009

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR):

WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) Forrester’s Customer Experience Forum, 2009 — The Customer Experience Journey: Keeping Momentum In A Downturn



Now more than ever, executives say that customer experience is critical to how their firms compete. They’re right; Forrester’s research shows a high correlation between good customer experience and increased customer loyalty. The bad news is that most firms get very low marks from their customers, and that translates into lower sales, higher churn, and lost business that goes to competitors.

How can companies improve business results by developing deeper connections with their customers? It starts with the recognition that customer experience is an enterprisewide activity, not an isolated event. This realization starts companies on a multiyear customer experience journey.

Forrester’s first-ever Customer Experience Forum will bring together customer experience professionals from top companies that share one thing in common: their firms are navigating their way through a multiyear journey to customer experience excellence — despite the current economic downturn.

As part of the Forum, Forrester will recognize companies that lead the way in collecting, interpreting, and reacting to customer feedback by announcing the winners of the first-ever Forrester Voice Of The Customer Award. Information about the 2009 Voice Of The Customer Award is available at http://blogs.forrester.com/customer_experience/.
