Forrester's Consumer Forum 2009: Marketing & Strategy Professionals Learn To Engage The New

Although consumers increasingly weave in and out of channels, only one in three eBusiness executives say their company has the ability to deliver a consistent cross-channel customer experience, according to new data released at the Forrester Research Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) Consumer Forum 2009 that concluded today in Chicago. More than 700 people attended the event, which provided Marketing & Strategy professionals with insight into what Forrester calls the three-dimensional consumer: less brand-loyal customers who seek to engage with companies across a multitude of new digital channels, such as on their mobile phones or via social technologies.

"To please these consumers, companies need to engage with these customers before, during, and after the purchase," said Carrie Johnson, vice president and research director at Forrester Research. "A Web site that enables an efficient purchase is no longer good enough. Leading companies have created breakthrough multichannel relationships by supporting engaging and consistent cross-channel experiences."

Today, many companies are struggling to meet that standard. According to a September 2009 Forrester survey of 100 global eBusiness executives, less than half of respondents said their companies support the ability for a customers to get relevant information about their accounts and profiles across channels; only 23 percent said their companies have the ability to deliver such information. Less than half of survey respondents said their companies believe in a seamless handoff between channels; a lowly 22 percent said their companies had the ability to deliver such an experience.

Industry leaders who spoke at the Consumer Forum included:

-- Brad Brooks, Corporate Vice President, Windows Consumer Product Marketing, Microsoft

-- Barry Judge, Chief Marketing Officer, Best Buy

-- Bob Kraut, Vice President Marketing Communications, Pizza Hut

-- Michael Menis, Vice President, Global Interactive Marketing, InterContinental Hotels Group

-- Sophia Stuart, Executive Director, Mobile, Hearst Magazines Digital Media

-- Virginia Suliman, Vice President, Web Design & Development, Hilton Hotels Corporation

-- Paul Vienik, Senior Vice President, Long-Term Investing and Customer Experience, E*Trade

Attendees took part in more than 300 one-on-one sessions with Forrester analysts, in addition to peer networking and a Solutions Showcase where 26 sponsors -- including platinum sponsor Acxiom and gold sponsors Baynote, Blast Radius, Critical Mass, Experian Marketing Services, and TouchCommerce -- shared their products and services.

Members of Forrester's Marketing & Strategy Leadership Boards, including The CMO Group, the Customer Experience Council, the Customer Intelligence Council, the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Council, the Interactive Marketing Council, and the Market Research Council, also met during the Forum. Membership in Forrester Leadership Boards is open to a select group of executives from leading companies worldwide. More information on Forrester Leadership Boards is available at: www.forrester.com/LeadershipBoards.

Also at the Forum, Forrester honored 13 Forrester Groundswell Award winners for excellence in achieving business and organizational goals with social technology applications.

Forrester Research Reports Third-Quarter Financial Results - Zibb.com

Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced its third-quarter ended September 30, 2009 financial results.

Third-Quarter Financial Performance

-- Total revenues were $53.9 million, compared with $59.5 million for the third quarter of last year.

-- On a GAAP-reported basis, Forrester reported net income of $4.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

-- On a pro forma basis, net income was $6.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009, which reflects a pro forma effective tax rate of 40 percent. Pro forma net income excludes stock-based compensation of $1.4 million, amortization of $439,000 of acquisition-related intangible assets, and impairments of non-marketable investments of $732,000. This compares with pro forma net income of $7.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008, which reflects a pro forma effective tax rate of 39 percent. Pro forma net income for the third quarter of 2008 excludes stock-based compensation of $1.3 million, amortization of $282,000 of acquisition-related intangible assets, net marketable and non-marketable investment gains of $26,000 and expenses related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company's historical financial statements of $487,000.

"Given the sluggish economy, we are pleased with Forrester's third-quarter performance," said George F. Colony, Forrester's chairman of the board and chief executive officer. "Deferred revenue was down at September 30, 2009, as expected; but client and dollar retention increased from last quarter, and our pro forma net income indicates that our expense control efforts are working. Overall, our results exceeded our guidance. As a result we are tightening our revenue range and raising our pro forma operating margin and diluted earnings per share guidance for the full year of 2009."

Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2009, Financial Performance

-- Total revenues were $171.9 million, compared with $178.0 million for the same period last year.

-- On a GAAP-reported basis, Forrester reported net income of $13.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net income of $20.1 million or $0.85 per diluted share for the same period last year.

-- On a pro forma basis, net income was $21.2 million or $0.92 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which reflects a pro forma effective tax rate of 40 percent. Pro forma net income excludes stock-based compensation of $4.9 million, amortization of $1.8 million of acquisition-related intangible assets, $3.1 million of reorganization costs, and impairments of non-marketable investments of $1.7 million. This compares with pro forma net income of $22.2 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008, which reflects a pro forma effective tax rate of 39 percent. Pro forma net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 excludes stock-based compensation of $4.0 million, amortization of $476,000 of acquisition-related intangible assets, net marketable and non-marketable investment gains of $2.1 million and expenses related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company's historical financial statements of $1.1 million.

Forrester: Web Remains Retail Industry's "Growth Engine" This Holiday - Zibb.com

With overall retail sales expected to show no gain this holiday shopping season, online retail sales in the US will reach $44.7 billion this holiday season, an eight percent increase over last year, according to a new forecast by Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR). The growth rate represents an increase from 2008, when, on the heels of the worst of the global financial crisis, online holiday retail sales in the US grew just five percent. Forrester defines the holiday shopping season as the months of November and December.

"Despite the lingering effects of the recession, the online space remains the retail industry's growth engine," said Sucharita Mulpuru, Forrester Research vice president and principal analyst. "What's different this holiday from past years is that online retailers will manage to the bottom line, which will change some of the tactics they have employed in the past."

The National Retail Federation has forecast a one percent decline in overall US holiday retail sales for this year.* A recent Forrester survey of more than 4,000 US online consumers showed that 94 percent of those who made a purchase online within the past three months plan to continue to buy online this holiday season. And 72 percent of retailers surveyed in "The State Of Retailing Online," a Shop.org study conducted by Forrester in Q3 of this year, say they expect online holiday sales to increase over last year.

As outlined in the new Forrester report "US Online Holiday Retail Forecast, 2009," online retailers will strive to balance consumer demand this holiday with profitability. Improving margins is in; chasing sales is so last year. The change in strategy will manifest itself in a number of different ways, including more limited-time and limited-quantity sales as retailers seek to reduce across-the-board discounting. Retailers will also cut down on automatic free shipping and institute price thresholds to qualify for free shipping. Customer engagement is also a priority this holiday: Expect to see online retailers deploy more cross-channel customer service options, advanced merchandizing software that will provide more product information, and enhanced social networking tools that will enable consumers to share purchase decisions with friends.

"Tighter offline inventories may benefit the online channel as consumers go to the Web looking for products -- and prices -- they can't find in stores this holiday," said Mulpuru. "Online retailers will be ready for them with a special focus this year on engagement and service."

*The NRF and Forrester forecasts do not cover the same categories and employ different methodologies.

Forrester Research Announces 2009 Forrester Groundswell Award Winners For Excellence In Social

Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) today honored 13 Forrester Groundswell Award winners for excellence in achieving business and organizational goals with social technology applications. The third annual Forrester Groundswell Awards were announced at Forrester's Consumer Forum 2009 in Chicago and for the first time included winners in a Business-to-Business (B2B) Division, as well as a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Division. The Forrester Groundswell Awards support and recognize the principles outlined in the Forrester book Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies (Harvard Business Press, 2008), honored this year with the American Marketing Association Foundation's Berry-AMA Book Prize for best marketing book of 2009.

"Every year the quality of business social applications goes up, and marketers become more sophisticated," said Josh Bernoff, senior vice president, idea development, at Forrester and co-author of Groundswell. "This year's winners stood out in a very competitive field; all of them demonstrate not just creative use of social technologies but impressive, measurable results."

This year, there were more than 140 Forrester Groundswell Award entries. Winners were chosen across a number of categories -- Listening, Talking, Energizing, Supporting, and Embracing -- that represent the strategic goals that Forrester advises organizations to consider when using social technologies to interact with their customers. Additional winners were selected in a special Employee And Non-Profit Division to recognize outstanding social applications in management and social impact. A detailed overview of each winning entry, along with the finalists in each category, is available on the Groundswell Web site. Here are the winners of the 2009 Forrester Groundswell Awards:

"Looking at this year's B2B winners and finalists, it is clear that technology companies lead the way in achieving real business results in the Groundswell," said Laura Ramos, vice president and principal analyst, Forrester Research. "Social activity will continue to expand into different B2B markets as businesspeople seek out their peers online to exchange ideas and validate their purchase decisions."

For the second consecutive year, the selection process allowed people to rate and comment on all entries on the Groundswell Web site. Forrester took the community's evaluations into account when selecting winners but chose winning entries based on proof of business value, not which applications were the most popular.
