Hello Tony,
I will happily answer that for you, but to preface my answer, I will say that my understanding of Eden is that they have circa 2,000 shareholders, many in Eden for many years and at much higher prices than today, that no one in Eden at today's price is making any money and that the share price has been static for nearly two years. No one invests money to leave it idle for two years.
1) The first thing I would do it to create a communications plan. Eden has an operational or business plan. As a listed company they should have a communications plan that addresses all shareholders and potential shareholders so that you reach out to potential new investors. Eden has failed miserably at this and neither Walbrook, nor it would appear Powerscourt has the time, resources or will to create and deliver such a plan.
2) I would deliver much of the content created, on film. Film has grown at a terrific rate, driven by youtube and 68% of those that watch film refer it to a friend. This blends very well with retail investors who do the same with their investments. I would put Sean Smith, Alex Abrey, a Sipcam representative, Michel Villeneuve if possible and our Chairman on film to help deliver the story
3) The plan would be delivered over a 12 week period and would be distributed, primarily by Proactive Investors who specialise in and already have the reach to attract investors. They also land their content on over 250,000 Thompson Reuter terminals in the City for the attention on non-retail investors. Thus, both sides are being addressed. Powerscourt would circulate the same to earn their money, Eden would publish the same on their website, I would email website subscribers to bring it to their attention, place on their twitter account and more. This all helps broaden the reach of Eden and helps to build the story, especially for the likes of Powerscourt with press contacts, Analysts, institutions and more.
4) The content would start from the beginning. It has to for the benefit of potential new investors. So in the introductory films (4 x 12-15 minute films) I would introduce the Company through a series of Q and A, only having the subject on film, part two would introduce the product offering for deeper understanding, part three would address financials and part four be about understanding the significance of the Sipcam deal and focusing on the share price with certain permissible questions
The first 4 films would deliver a base understand of who Eden are, what they do, what their markets and opportunities are, where they are financially and how Sipcam works with Eden to hopefully propel them forward. All answers from management, so the horses mouth and this would lay a foundation or a library of information if you will, that doesn't need repeating and that investors can go back to and easily reference over and over again. This is investor relations and it is in my opinion, what Eden needs.
