2007: The Year Of The Empowered Customers
By Gary Barnett, Aspect Software
Like many consumers today, when I need to purchase an item, sign up for a new service or plan a trip, I do my research. I read online reviews, e-mail friends and family members for recommendations and check out blogs for other customer opinions. Over the past year, the proliferation of instant one-to-one and one-to-many communication, as well as the widespread availability of information about products and services, has empowered the consumer more than ever before. Viewed as a blessing by consumers, this empowerment is seen by some businesses as a curse.
