From a simple marketing perspective, an investor relations website is not dissimilar to a trade show booth. You never know when a prospect is going to walk by and make a purely visceral judgment. In the case of an institutional investor, it must be a surface-level, emotional "kicking-of-the-tires" as they already have access to all your past performance data as well as in-depth analysts' reports. They want to understand how you represent your "financial brand."
Combine this information with the first question in our study, and there is no question about the need to have an IR website to build confidence with Wall Street.

Verbatim comments from investors include:
- "If I am looking for some extra info and the 'feel' of the company."
- "If I want to see any new news or latest quarterly reports, and I can't find it at another website."
- "Only to download specific materials, i.e. annual report."
- "With small companies, it can be telling to see both the professionalism of their website, and specifically how they present themselves vs. what can be known from objective sources."
