1. Craft your own email templates like a pro
Have you always wanted to send investors corporate news and industry insights through a regular newsletter but just didn’t know how? Perhaps you’ve been keen to deliver something that consolidates your company news to tell a more complete story, beyond a mere progression of ASX Announcements.
Try HQi’s latest email template builder! It’s perfect for creating your own templates, such as newsletters and business summaries in one email. No web dev skills needed with HQi’s drag and drop editor. Simply choose the content you want on your newsletter, like the title, images, text. Arrange them in rows and sections as you please and fine tune it with fonts, alignment, background colour, the works.
Once you’re done, you can preview your email template and send a test to yourself or another team member to check how it looks when subscribers receive it. If you’re not happy with it, you can refine it further and send your email when ready or schedule its release.
What’s great about these email templates is that you can reuse them as often as you want or store them when you don’t need them anymore. Ask your Client Relations Manager to access this premium feature for your plan. It only needs to be set up initially and you’d be good to go.

2. Set your content to publish on schedule
Time is precious for busy IR folks like you, who are attending to various business needs. We get you. So, here’s a great way to maximise your schedule while your website publishes timely updates as it should.
HQi’s new content scheduler enables you to calendar your updates ahead of time while you focus on more essential tasks. You can now program your content in advance, so it goes out in a particular timetable. That’s less time spent scrambling to upload a news item for immediate release and more time to work on other responsibilities.
Planning your website updates for certain periods is also excellent for those working in different time zones. Scheduling your posts allows you to communicate with investors at their peak engagement days and times, even if you’re not available to post at those specific hours. Rest easy knowing your updates will be distributed to investors when they are most active and likely to engage with your website content.
HQi’s content scheduler covers publishing on list pages (ASX announcements, financial reports, presentations), flat pages (company overview, projects, ESG), email campaigns, blog posts. An approval process will still be in place to ascertain your content is good to go as programmed.

3. Improve SEO with clean website URLs
Your website address on the World Wide Web is the URL (uniform resource locator) that appears in a browser’s address bar. Typically starting with “https:” or “http:”, it indicates what your web pages are all about.
HQi now provides clean URLs for your web pages to improve the usability of your website. What does this mean? Your clean URLs are now displaying page titles without other technical formats. This makes them easily read and more memorable when viewed in a browser.
URLs are the building blocks of your site and when optimised they can help increase your website traffic due to better performance. Clean URLs also appear more trustworthy, so you'll get higher ranking in search engines as you maximise your SEO efforts.
4. Run your own investor events with IRM Events
