Why don't we complie a list of those companies known to provide
shareholders with some benefit's to ownership.
To start the ball rolling, I am aware that the following offer deals to
shareholders from time to time:
Montana   Discounted wine
Manor Inn Discounted room tarrifs

Not very comprehensive to start with.

Subject:  [sharechat] Shareholders deserve more - freebies should be given


Somebody recently noted that CDL shareholders were offered a discount on
the room rates at the Copthorne.

How many other listed companies have offers for shareholders?

Having such offers could provide some other little reward for shareholders.
On the other hand are some companies missing a direct marketing opportunity
to already converted and aware customers.

Generally shareholders are the forgotten stakeholders in a company. I know
customers reign supreme and as such deserve most of the attention. Small
shareholders generally only get a shiny annual report and if they are lucky
(and able to attend) some hospitality at the agm. Putting it another way
for those watching the rugby over the weekend watch out for corporate boxes
that many of these companies have at the grounds - spending shareholder
money and not a shareholder in sight!

Lest forbid bringing up the subject of when is a loss a loss etc again (and
not picking on poor RBD again for any particular reason) would realised or
unrealised losses be more palatable if shareholders got a few pizza's every
year?  -  yuk! Maybe a Starbucks would be better.

........or for those 'green investors' what would they do with their bag of
genetically modified grass seed from Wrightsons?
