The Web Marketing Association, in partnership with the Wealth Management News Service, is pleased to announce the winners of the second annual Interactive Investor Relations Awards<\/i> Competition (IIR Awards) for investor relations Web site development. Entries competed with peers within more than 50 industry categories as well as against an overall standard of excellence. <\/span>Sites were judged on design, navigation, ease of use and use of technology to enhance the investor\u2019s experience as well as specific content criteria relating to investor and financial communication.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

“This year\u2019s winners demonstrate that it takes more than just a flashy design to have an effective investor Web site,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “IIR Award winners are judged not only on design, but with a strong emphasis on content, combined with a high level of functionality and usability for their target audience. <\/span>Participating in the competition provides management with valuable feedback from expert judges and gives companies an opportunity to measure the effectiveness of their online investor relations efforts.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2005 Best of Show IIR Award is presented to the Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) at investor.colgate.com<\/a> for their outstanding investor Web site. In the opinion of the competition judges, the site went beyond all others entered in the IIR Awards to provide investors and the financial community access to critical information in a user friendly format. Particularly, effective use of Flash and video presentations were sited as contributing to the sites success. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
