CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2007--Forrester
Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR):
WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) Finance Forum 2007:
Beating The Competition With Superior Customer Experiences
With more access to information, more sensitivity to price,
and less sensitivity to advertising, consumers are getting
harder to win and keep. Even as traditional marketing loses
its power to bring prospects in through the front door,
weak delivery against raised expectations for service and
convenience sends unhappy customers out the back door. To
compete in this environment, retail financial services
firms need to dramatically raise the bar on the customer
experience they provide. At this Event, leading Forrester
analysts will present research on how financial services
firms can build and sustain long-term competitive edge by
mastering the principles of Experience-Based
Differentiation. Industry executives will share their views
on providing superior customer experience by understanding
customer needs, creating brand equity with customers, and
developing concrete customer experience skills.
