TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE SUBSCRIBING NOW
(Our Promises To You)
 
  • We show you how to save big money on your Shareholder Communications and Shareholder Servicing Expense.
     
  • We help you get far better results from the money you Do and Must spend.
     
  • We tell you what you really need to know about regulatory and technological developments: and what you need to do about them.
     
  • We keep you current on the doings of "Activist Investors" and on what they, and others, consider "Best" and "Worst Practices".
     
  • We keep you current on the critically important and rapidly changing "Supplier Universe": those transfer agents, proxy solicitors, consultants and advisors, financial printers and mailers.
     
  • We save you time - perhaps the scarcest resource of all these days - not just because the Optimizer is a "Quick Read", that stays on-task and cuts straight to the chase - but because it helps you spend your time and effort on activities that produce big results, while slashing or abandoning activities with a low payback.
     
  • We help you "Watch Your Back" - with best-and-worst-practice case studies, tips and checklists on avoiding snafus and articles on programs that have been career-enhancers...and career-enders.
     
  • We don't pull our punches: we're not beholden to anyone but our readers, so we can tell it like it is.
     
  • We promise you some free consulting on any Shareholder Relations or Shareholder Servicing matter that ever crosses your desk (worth the modest subscription price in and of itself, readers say).
     
  • We guarantee that every single issue will have at least one idea that will more than pay for your annual subscription...or you can have your full money back.
