What is investor marketing?

Individual investors are increasingly influential over the share price of listed companies and the traditional methods of IR aren't reaching them.

Investor marketing is the solution that bridges the gap between public companies and the individual investors who form the long tail of their shareholder base.

Individual investors have become increasingly influential on the share price of a public company and it's never been more important to connect with them. As technology continues to evolve, public companies will need to establish a strategy to reach their individual investors as they command an increasing level of influence on capital-raising outcomes and on-market performance.

1. The average trade on the ASX and AIM is $4,850.
2. Retail investors make up to 76% of your trading volume.
3. The ‘long tail’ of your shareholder base is comprised of retail investors.
4. Shareholder offers that include retail investors outperform placements.

Traditional methods of investor relations (IR) are sufficient for public companies looking to engage solely with their top 20, but they lack the scalability and digital infrastructure to deliver a quality experience across the entire shareholder base which is where individual investors reside. That's where investor marketing steps in.

It's an efficient method to scale investor communications while delivering a top-20 experience to all your shareholders, including the individual investors who disproportionately influence your share price.

Investor marketing doesn't replace your existing IR, it improves it with visibility over the investor journey that lets you structure the strategic touchpoints in your company story that nurtures more individual investors over time into sticky shareholders (solving a problem we call 'investor debt').

Attraction strategies.

Investor marketing strategies that focus on attracting and acquiring new investors focus primarily on uplifting company announcements and newsflow. You need to ensure that your company newsflow is high-quality, high-frequency and well-structured with frequent touchpoints to nudge investors through their journey to becoming shareholders.

Engagement strategies.

If you want to engage your existing shareholders alongside prospective investors, your investor marketing strategies will focus on establishing direct channels and personalising your investor communications. You need to understand the investors you’re communicating with because that gives you the information to tailor your engagement and resonate more deeply with each segment.

Conversion strategies.

Investor marketing strategies that specialise in converting investor demand into successful capital-raising outcomes rely heavily on leveraging shareholder data. You should be able to pinpoint the HNW investors in your shareholder base to build and nurture a Chairmans list which provides you with concrete data that you can use to forecast your shareholder participation and raise potential.

Optimisation strategies.

With investor marketing, data is everything. When you’re running attraction, engagement and conversion strategies, you’ll collect key data points on what performs best and the improvements you can make, which informs how you’ll structure your investor marketing strategies going forward. You can keep track of this data individually, but it’s a smoother experience if you can do it all on one platform.

Bridge the gap with retail and build shareholder value.

Optimised engagement.

InvestorHub is our most efficient tool that optimises the way we engage all our shareholders. The platform alerted us to a downgrading shareholder, which enabled us to reach out directly and have a conversation. As a result, that investor stopped selling and resumed buying into our company.
