When investors find your website, do they immediately know it's the right one they've been searching for?

Or would they need to sift through your web pages just to understand what your company is all about? (Uh-oh.)

That’s why it’s not only important for your website to be visually appealing. It should also be easy to navigate, providing information investors seek.

Do you want an easy way to connect with conference delegates? Then this one is for you!

IRM have partnered with Vertical Events in aiming to add more value to companies and speakers with a service called Keep In Touch. This service enables conference speakers to connect with attendees by email during and after a Vertical Events conference.

Most recently, IRM rolled out the Keep In Touch service at the RIU Good Oil Conference September 2019 in Perth. Eleven selected speaker companies participated in this initial trial run and their ASX Announcements were emailed to 592 delegates/investors from the first day of the conference and 6 weeks thereafter.

No doubt, your website is crucial for your business. It represents your company and is the centre of your online presence. Giving you credibility to accomplish strategies that help your business grow.

It tells your corporate story. An invaluable source of information that’s frequented by customers, investors, as well as analysts and journalists. Available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Your website is one of the most effective communication tools your company holds.

That's why you have a well-designed site to give investors a great first impression of your business and what it's all about, right?

But is your site still aligned with your organisation's latest plans?

Perhaps you've adopted a new corporate strategy and your website’s purpose has changed to support such move. Maybe you've just launched a brand-new product or service and you're now targeting a certain audience, in addition to your investor community.

Think about it. 

At this very moment, someone may be searching for your company online. 

It's how things work in this digital age. Clients and investors will search the web to engage with your business.

They expect your company to have an online presence, at least a website. And if you don't have one, they'll consider you less professional.

There must be a better way to do things.

Investor relations have more pressing matters to attend to than getting tangled up in the nitty gritty of sending out announcements.

You know the drill.

The first task is posting on your website. Logging on to ASX Online. Waiting for confirmation from the Issuers Office. Making sure the announcement’s correct version is uploaded on the right pages of your website. Sometimes having to ask help from web support when your uploads fail to work.

Your website is the authority for investors.

It’s the source of all the information they need.

But investors don’t get to visit your website every day. That’s why your site needs to attract them when there’s news about your company. Or when there’s something they want to seek out.

Luckily, there are various ways to enhance your website without having to do a complete overhaul. Sometimes a supplementary device is all you need to boost your site’s efficiencies.

Triumphs over adversities.

Significant achievements.

Moments of inspiration.

These are just some milestones that have shaped your organisation. And perhaps you may be so used to these events that you've missed out on how they have marked your company’s evolution.

Keeping up with the times?

Or just effecting a change in company strategy?

A rebrand of your business can be a result of different factors. Perhaps you’re expanding into new markets. Or diversifying the kind of products or service you offer.

Whatever your reasons, it’s imperative that your new brand be reflected on your website and all other forms of communications.

It’s a journey. Not a destination.

Yes, that’s the process for any website. Yours included.

For as your company achieves milestones, so opportunities arise to show these developments within your site. Opportunities to improve and reshape your web page.

Take for example, a new company logo.

Newsroom collects your company news and distributes them to your investors and stakeholder groups, right? It’s a great help in managing your news updates through your website, email and social media accounts with just a click of a button.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There’s a rich resource within Newsroom that’s waiting for you to tap into.

Rebranding.

Many companies will do it at some point. For various reasons.

Particularly when its vision has expanded beyond its initial goals.

Perhaps you’re considering one too for your company?

A corporate website is vital in today’s digital business age.

Not having a site means losing business and investors to your competitors that have such online presence.

An online presence will not only enable customers to quickly find your products or services. It will also help potential investors, business partners and employees to easily learn about your company.

The bell has rung. And you’re no longer an unlisted company.

Will your investors see you as an amateur new IPO or a full scale ASX-listed company from Day 1?

Carawine Resources Limited (ASX:CWX) was able to manage that transition with a professional online investor presence throughout the process. The exploration company has settled into being a listed company with a primary focus to explore for, and ultimately develop mineral deposits within Australia.

That feeling when you walk into an impressive corporate headquarters.

It’s not just the minimalist or no-nonsense look of the office. It’s the professional vibe that makes you want to do business with the company.

Much like how a well-designed website works. Once you enter its home page, you’d want to explore the rest of the site to see how you can engage with the establishment.

IRM announces cheaper, easier access to an improved IRM Newsroom, a powerful news and media aggregation and distribution tool for ASX-listed companies.

How good is this!

For 2018, Newsroom introduced new features to help companies like you better communicate with investors. Now there’s more access and economical plans for this popular service.

Nowadays, more investors research the Web for businesses they’re looking into.

That’s why companies have websites that not only cater to consumers or clients. They also create webpages that address investor needs. Where their company can provide information and gain the credibility investors seek.

To strengthen its online presence, Alkane Resources Ltd recently launched a website with the help of IRM. Alkane is an ASX and OTCQX (US) listed multi-commodity mining and exploration company. Its projects and operations are located in the Central West of New South Wales, eastern Australia.

You’ve been there before.

You searched a website and found yourself time-warped. How disappointing to land on an outdated webpage!

It’s not just about the look and feel of the site. Its content and navigation should also be up-to-date and user-friendly. Agree?

This is crucial. Especially if you’re looking up a support site or help centre for your website. Would be a hassle to access a self-service support option that’s old-looking and clunky.

It’s not just getting a new look.

A website redesign is about directing more visitors to your site. Expanding your reach. Tweaking your audience interactions. So they’ll engage more in your business.

As your business grows, so refreshing your site is inevitable. You’d have to bring it up to date with your current goals and milestones achieved, right? You’d need to showcase how your company continues to progress since you first launched or last updated your website.

Just a quick shout out to celebrate more ASX-listed clients using IRM Newsroom, our news delivery tool!

Through Newsroom, over 125 companies are now enjoying immediate distribution of ASX announcements to their websites, email subscribers and social media channels.
