Your customers and clients are an integral part of your public relations strategy. They can be your strongest ambassadors. The case study provides a compact platform for your clients to offer testimonials to your product or service. Get in front of new customers by letting community leaders talk to them directly either via video (call us, and we can direct you to some examples) or print. Of course, getting them to talk your talk is an art. That's where we come in.
Public companies have special responsibilities to communicate to shareholders. Smart public companies recognize that good communication should exist with all the parties who have a "stake" in company's success. That means, in addition to shareholder, employees, customers, media, vendors and "community opinion leaders".
How to get the stakeholder communication right:
Don't hide. Remember the golden rule: tell your stakeholders what you would want to know if the situation was reversed.
Explain what the news means. Don't leave the implications of your communications to the imagination. Be specific.
If there's a solution or action you plan to take, say what that is, as specifically as possible. Make clear who is responsible. Set a reasonable expectation for results you can deliver.
Finally, provide a "contact". Make sure your stakeholders know who they can contact for more information.
