Developing the Right Micro Cap Investor Relations Strategy

Every company has unique circumstances and needs.  The first step in any successful Micro Cap Investor Relations program is to develop a customized and logical plan with reasonable expectations.  This plan should include defining your objectives, evaluating your investor base and appropriate target, selecting presentation materials, choosing delivery methods and establishing an automated platform to manage the program.

Hiring the Right Services Providers 

Once your plan is in place, then you need to hire the right service providers to get the job done in a professional manner.  The WSR Group can perform most of your needs in-house and when additional skills are required we can save you countless hours and dollars by guiding you to the right place. 

Creating the Right Presentation Materials

One of the best ways to educate the investment community about your business is through the creation and distribution of comprehensive reports on your company.  WSR's seasoned Wall Street analysts will work closely with management to develop a group of institutional quality financial reports that keep investors informed.

Corporate or Analytical Profiles and Analytical Summaries – Detailed reports outlining your company's business model, products and services, pro forma and historical financials, valuation analysis, corporate strategy, industry, risks and management. During the due diligence process WSR will develop a thorough understanding of your company.

Fact Sheets - Fact sheets which are 2 - 6 page documents which designed to be easily updated with current information.    These documents should be used in conjunction with other comprehensive reports that are difficult to update frequently.  These documents are great tools to keep relevant information at the finger tips of your investor relations (IR) team and as part of your IR kit.

Special Reports - Special reports are used, whenever applicable, to summarize conference calls, compare and contrast estimates versus actual results, provide industry insight, and to provide clarity to unexpected events.

Direct Mailers - High impact brochure highlighting your company's strenghts - in full color - printed on high quality material. 

PowerPoint Presentation - A carefully prepared presentation is necessary for meeting with investment bankers or making presentations at investment conferences.  WSR's analytical writers are experienced in both scenarios and are skilled in designing presentations that contain the right information, eliminate unnecessary material and place all the data in the correct order.

Attracting New Investors

Once your plan is in place and you have completed your presentation materials it's time to get your company in front of potential investors.  This can be accomplished through proactive calls, email and direct mail as well as face-to-face meetings and attending investment conferences.  The WSR Group's primary methods to attract new investors revolve around using direct mail and email to trigger inbound calls by leveraging its vast internal and external distribution lists.
