Every year, Alliance Advisors reaches millions of shareholders through a variety of solicitation strategies to generate voting participation for annual and special meetings. Our campaigns are conducted across a range of retail shareholder profiles for traditional publicly traded companies, retail heavy, Open-End Funds, Closed End Funds, ETF’s, REITS and BDC’s.
We approach your shareholders with the utmost professionalism. Combining the latest technology tools with a high level of human touch, Alliance Advisors has the expertise and infrastructure required to engage with retail shareholders and secure favorable votes for the Board.
Omni-Channel Approach to Retail Engagement
Alliance Advisors uses a coordinated mix of solicitation tools to help move the vote efficiently, reach retail shareholders across communication preferences, and sustain momentum throughout the life of a proxy campaign.
A modern retail engagement strategy cannot rely on a single channel. As response rates decline across traditional methods, an omni-channel approach helps extend reach, improve participation, and support timely vote delivery.
Our print/mail/electronic distribution solution allows us to operate at scale, managing initial and follow-up mailings for campaigns involving millions of individual shareholders. In addition, we have an internal design team to provide enhanced solicitation and custom communications, in both print and digital formats.
Why Choose Alliance Advisors for Retail Engagement?
Alliance Advisors is the only proxy solicitor that use digital tools to bolster vote returns. We have been deploying digital solicitation tools for more than a decade, but their role in corporate and mutual fund proxy campaigns has changed meaningfully as digital tools have become a central component of many successful solicitation strategies, rather than a peripheral add‑on.
Digital channels can deliver votes at every stage of the solicitation cycle, particularly in later phases when traditional methods have been exhausted and timelines are compressed. They can be implemented relatively quickly, scaled efficiently, and configured in a cost‑conscious way when integrated with data‑driven targeting and clear messaging.
The effective use of these tools is both an art and a science which require a nuanced understanding of shareholder behavior, regulatory obligations, and operational constraints. Alliance Advisors has mastered the use of digital tools and our experiences across numerous corporate and mutual fund solicitations proves that a well‑designed digital program—paired with traditional tactics where appropriate—can help companies and funds meet their voting objectives while managing cost and mitigating execution risk
