Sephora Expands Medallia Customer Feedback Solution in North America

Success in US Prompts Wider Adoption

Menlo Park, CA—May 27, 2009 — Sephora, the leading specialty beauty retailer in the US, is expanding its existing US customer satisfaction feedback program to Canada and Puerto Rico using industry-leading Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) solutions from Medallia, Inc. Sephora Canada is already live with Medallia’s system. Puerto Rico’s program is scheduled to come online in the summer of 2009.

Sephora chose to replace its existing programs in Canada and Puerto Rico with the Medallia solution because of Medallia’s record of success (including easy adoption) at Sephora USA, its proven experience and capabilities in the international marketplace, and its ability to support local languages such as French and Spanish.

“Medallia has become a part of the culture at Sephora USA,” said Kahla Broussard, Vice President of Retail for Sephora. “Every member of our staff uses the Medallia system, which is integral to our continued success.” She added, “We look forward to Medallia helping us in markets outside the United States. Its achievements in the international marketplace are remarkable.”

Nelson Pascua, Client Services consultant for Medallia, underscored the firm’s strong relationship with Sephora. “Medallia is proud of its work with Sephora, a customer experience pioneer,” he said. “We are extremely honored to be expanding the relationship into other markets. Leading companies, such as Sephora, continue to evaluate international EFM solutions from multiple vendors and choose Medallia.”
