I\u2019ve been reviewing a number of websites lately and it seems as if investor relations web sites are becoming more robust. I\u2019ve been impressed with the variety and ingenuity exhibited on some of the sites I\u2019ve seen, particularly for European companies. Overall, my impression is that the European IR websites have been more innovative in their use of the power of the web.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, not every site does everything, so for the benefit of those investor relations officers that don\u2019t have time to conduct a review of other web sites, I thought I would provide a series of posts that list some of my favorite features that can help you help investors.<\/p>\n

\"ENI<\/a><\/div>\n

First, charting \u2013 there are lots of charting sites available, but some things can be done better on the company page. For example, interactive charts with links to events and press releases are very helpful. Many times I\u2019ve stared at a stock price chart with a big dip or rise and wondered, \u201cWhat happened here?\u201d Such large dips or rises are almost invariably accompanied by a press release, so an interactive chart that leads you straight to the event saves a lot of time and effort. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"EADS<\/a><\/div>\n

Another helpful feature is being able to specify an exact time frame for your chart. After all, most investors don\u2019t invest on the exact day necessary to fit into the standard time range specified on most web sites. I also found that charts that let you specify other companies to chart against very useful, although I\u2019m sure many companies are not thrilled about having their competitors charted on their site.<\/p>\n

As I continue to review sites, I hope to be able to \u00a0cite more examples of best practices. \u00a0It’s kind of fun to be able to hand out praise instead of criticism.\u00a0<\/p>\n
