Learn What Good Public Relations Can Do?
Some new public company owners may wonder why they should allocate precious marketing budgets to investor relations. They may think their company needs to be more significant to require full-blown PR or consider implementing a PR strategy to save money.
The truth is, however, PR is not a luxury or a nice-to-have for today’s businesses. No matter what size or stage of growth it may be, every organization needs to foster good relations with the public.
Aside from helping companies gain positive publicity, strong PR allows them to set the narrative in communications with investors, customers, prospects, and venture capitalists.
You Need To Establish Deep Stakeholder Relationships
Understanding that good relationships can make or break a business is crucial. It is necessary to cultivate trust and credibility among your key stakeholders. Strategic IR & PR initiatives founded on authenticity and tact can help business owners establish and deepen stakeholder relationships, which are critical in building a sustainable business ecosystem within the investment community.
How Blogging Increases Investor Exposure
Business blogging is one of the best ways to engage with customers and raise your shareholder exposure.
A business blog can help you generate more stakeholders and increase your online visibility by increasing the number of pages indexed on Google. More content means more opportunities for potential investors to find your website. Plus, you can use keyword research to optimize each post which will help with search rankings.
Blogging gives you a platform from which to communicate with existing shareholders, as well as potential new ones. You can keep people updated on news or financial disclosures, provide helpful tips and advice, or tell stories about your company’s values and mission statement.
Business blogging is one of the TOP ways to engage with shareholders, build relationships, and promote your brand. It allows businesses to show their expertise, share industry-related news, and create an ongoing dialogue with their audience.
Engage Your Investors.
Business blogs are a great way to engage customers by providing them with content they care about. Blogging helps create an ongoing dialogue between you and your audience—one in which they feel heard and respected—ensuring they remain loyal stakeholders for years.
Additionally, at OTC PR Group, we know it’s important to remember to ensure that the content you post is valuable and relevant to what your target audience wants or needs from your company. If this means investing in professional copywriting services, so be it; the payoff is worth it!
Are you communicating the right message to your stakeholders?
Craft a Compelling Narrative
The key to communicating effectively with shareholders is to develop and present a strong narrative explaining the merits of the company or pending deal and, often more importantly, the likely consequences of non-acceptance.
While the devil is always in the details, those details must be part of a coherent story that explains management’s decision to move forward.
The rationale should consist of a few core messages explaining why the transaction is in the best interest and will create value for shareholders.
The story should follow the company’s stated business strategies and value creation plans and anticipate and address shareholder questions and skepticism. At a minimum, make sure that your deal narrative answers the following:
- Whether the deal is strategic or financial.
- What the revenue and expense synergies are.
- Why the deal is in the shareholders’ best interests.
- Why is the seller selling to the acquiring company now, or why the acquiring company is pursuing the target?
- How the offer or purchase price is fair and reasonable, and the process that led to such purchase price.
- How will the acquired company be more valuable as part of the acquirer or vice versa?
- What is the long-term strategy for the combined companies?
- What other alternatives to the transaction considered, and why those alternatives are riskier, less lucrative, or otherwise less desirable?
Be Transparent With Information
Shareholders have a right to review all material information necessary to consider a merger or acquisition transaction. Opposed or skeptical shareholders can use a lack of adequate disclosure as a basis to threaten or delay the transaction. A temporary injunction, or even the threat of one or similar litigation, can throw off a carefully crafted transaction timeline and present other negative implications that could imperil a deal.
From a practical standpoint, shareholder communications should also include details on the mechanics and timing of shareholder acceptance. If such mechanical components are not included (or if they’re not clear), shareholders often lose focus on the broader narrative and business case presented to them. Accordingly, a company should clearly explain whats asked for, how acceptance can be made, and any applicable deadlines.

A Holistic Approach To Public Relations Small Cap Companies & Venture Capitalists.
Of course, shareholders aren’t the only constituents whose consent and approval are critical to a transaction’s success. Even among shareholders, the interests and goals of institutional investors may differ from those of individual investors. In a deal, and each group of stakeholders has its concerns, priorities, and objectives.
While a company’s messaging may need to be tailored and focused on addressing these differing perspectives, the core message and transaction rationale should be consistent across all communications. A holistic company-wide approach led by a dedicated and experienced individual or team focused on the communications aspect of the transaction can be the key to implementing an effective strategy. Upper management and relationship managers should be ready with talking points to ensure a united narrative when discussing the transaction with customers, suppliers, and other interested stakeholders.
Increase Shareholder Recognition with Video and Audio productions
A quality corporate video is a great way to bring recognition and corporate awareness. Public companies can communicate their story with a corporate video, whether a well-developed commercial video or a simple interview-style format.
