Breakthrough!
How GM Investor Acquisition did all this for Sauer Energy (SENY) since Feb. 25, 2011:
31 million shares traded
5,400 new shareholders
310 distributor inquiries
14,000 online inquiries
$61 million in new business
Earlier this year, Sauer Energy Inc. (SENY) was a young startup with few shares being traded, almost no shareholders and no sales. (Its home wind generator was still a year away from production.) Meanwhile GM Investor Acquisition had been retained to stir up interest in the retail investment community and kick-start trading activity.
GM’s campaign was launched on February 25, 2011. Here’s what happened since then:
• GM has generated 31 million shares of total trading volume for SENY. 30-day daily trading average immediately PRIOR the campaign’s launch: 7,490 shares. Average daily trading average for the PAST 30 days: 153,379. Added benefit: Every startup is burdened with a large stock float, which Sauer is rapidly eliminating.
• GM captured 5,400 new and committed shareholders — and not in-and-out, short-term traders who are here today, gone tomorrow. (Number of shareholders BEFORE the campaign began: A few dozen.)
• GM’s investor marketing campaign pulled in 15,470 orders for Sauer’s wind generator when it becomes available in December, 2011. A bit over $4,000 each wholesale = $60+ million. This will more than pay for the entire shareholder campaign. (Number of orders prior to GM’s campaign? Five.)
• GM’s campaign attracted over 14,000 inquiries to the corporate website requesting more information. This is one of the greatest online responses of all time.
• GM attracted 310 inquires for licensing agreements and distributorships. They came from all over the U.S. and many foreign countries. When production reaches full capacity in early-2012, Sauer Energy will be a major global player in wind energy from Day One.
• GM’s campaign also attracted unexpected “off-the-street” investors. Some people were so enthused by our campaign, they flew/drove to Newbury Park, California, for a face-to-face meeting with Founder Dieter Sauer, and ended up buying shares directly from the company. One man wrote a check on the spot for $500,000.
Talk about exceeding expectations!
Could some variation of this highly innovative campaign be used for other companies — whether they’re resource, technology or whatever? And the answer is yes, very likely, because great marketing is inherently opportunistic. And when you combine outside-the-box thinking + old-fashioned marketing savvy + new technologies — then great things happen.
