So you have a company running and your investors need to be kept abreast of the latest happenings. You may have a dedicated person for the role or an entire department, but if you haven't, then now is the time to attract investors to your company.
Easier said than done, right?
Well with having an investor relation program you can ensure that you are sending the right messages to the right market and it will also keep your current investors happy.
Never underestimate the importance of a good investor relation program within your company as your market value is a combination of performance and ensuring that financial audiences are aware of your company's performance. It will also expose your key message to financial investors and can turn a passive investor into an active investor with a bit of effort.

Investor relations involve three aspects that are essential, which are:
1) Communication
2) Marketing and Securities law compliance
3) Finance

There might be additional tasks that aren't mentioned here, but will be just as important.
When deciding what you need for your company, it's best to keep the following in mind:
1) Your company needs to be able to deliver the right message to the right market and investors. It's essential when times get tough that current investors will foster understanding and share some sense of partnership with your company to stand by you when it's needed most.
2) Key relationships need to be maintained between your company and institutional and retail shareholders. The same with market makers, specialists and brokers that will be important to your company.
