An annual report (grey literature) is a comprehensive booklet form published periodically, describing the operations, financial conditions and overall health of a company at the end of the fiscal year. A distinctive, professional annual report design reaffirms your company’s well-being and reflects your positive brand reputation.
Showcasing that information in the best way possible is vital because annual reports are now much more than just presenting financial summaries and reports. Therefore, the layout design and structure of your company’s annual report must mirror your brand image and value proposition.
To make your report compelling and exciting, and to inspire confidence across the board, look to showcase all the features of your annual report using beautiful imagery, engaging infographics, concise content structure and a high-quality print. Which in turn, creates a long, lasting impression on the minds of your shareholders and employees.
Transform your company's annual reports from just simple printed documents to engaging digital experiences. Our team can convert your final report into an interactive PDF format for easy online viewing.
We can even elevate the interactivity of your report even further by creating a microsite powered by WordPress, which allows for the collection of viewer comments. In today's digital age, accessibility is of utmost importance. Hence, we can assist in ensuring your annual report complies with the web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
An annual report’s main feature is to showcase a company's story, health and reputation, with a detailed description of its activities, performances, core mission and objectives, as well as make forecasts about the future of the company.
Corporate information like financial history and highlights, strategic direction, management analysis, etc. are elaborate in an annual report. It is often observed that printers use thicker coated papers (glossy) so the output could leave a lasting and positive impression on staff and other stakeholders.
Annual reports give internal and external observers a much more holistic view of a company's health, financial position, market standing and forecast about the future progress to be made.
The people that read your annual report have already developed a genuine interest and intention toward your company, which can serve as an incredible opportunity for you to use the annual report as a marketing tool to help influence and inspire your audience to learn, invest and take action.
Regardless of what industry your business operates in, an annual report poses a branding opportunity. Therefore, incorporating your brand identity and value proposition in the clearest possible way ensures your annual report stands as your company's flagship document.
