Conclusion: The campaign was highly successful in attracting the overwhelming majority of current shareholders to onboard the corporate Social Profiles. Once on-‐boarded the company leveraged these profiles to engage with these shareholders and seek out new potential shareholders as well. During this engagement period we increased the shareholder base by more than 100%. Additionally, the company leveraged Social Media outlets to release corporate messages including CEO blogs. These posts were highly engaged and created very positive sentiment as well as a thriving digital community. The results show that investors are more likely to increase their stake in the company in some cases by 100% when properly engaged. These investors are also more likely to weather a “bad storm” when company has headwinds. Most importantly we found that this strategy has been highly successful in recruiting new shareholders from companies in similar sectors. All of these shareholders are categorized as long term holders. To learn more about leveraging Social Media to engage with your shareholders give us a call. Our demo will take less than 15 minutes.
