\u00a0I give them a 7. \u00a0While it only took two clicks to get where I wanted to go, the treasure hunt factor was way too high for a company of Apple&#8217;s stature. \u00a0Further, Investor relations is not a media category, and the printing for the links was tiny. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further investigation of the web page revealed two other ways to get to the investor relations page. \u00a0The first was to navigate to the site map and find the &#8220;Investors&#8221; page. \u00a0Personally, I try to avoid site maps whenever possible as they usually involve extended hunting for what you want. \u00a0This wasn&#8217;t my first choice and I don&#8217;t give Apple much credit for it. \u00a0The second method was more innovative. \u00a0At the top of Apple&#8217;s home page there is a small search box, similar to the search box that is built into their current operating system. \u00a0By the time you type in the first three letters of investor relations, the link for the appropriate page pops up. \u00a0This is cool, if only you know to do it. \u00a0it may be the wave of the future, but most of us are conditioned to use links and tabs at this point.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/apple2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1052 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/apple2-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/apple2-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/apple2-150x109.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/apple2.jpg 1081w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/218;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what does all of this tell investors about Apple? \u00a0First, if you never found Apple investor information it would be OK with them. \u00a0By placing investor relations as a subset of media, it also tells you that Apple wants and expects to control the message to investors, something they can do with the media. \u00a0Alas, this almost never works, although it doesn&#8217;t keep companies from trying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After subjecting Microsoft to my critical and highly subjective review of how tech companies get investors to their investor relations pages, I thought it would be fair to look at how Apple does it. \u00a0After all, Apple is a company that is known for its design flair and ease of use. \u00a0My expectations were high.
