PR TIMES Announces 2025 Shareholder Benefits

PR TIMES, a leading platform for press release distribution based in Minato, Tokyo, has made an exciting announcement regarding its shareholder benefits program for 2025. This year marks a significant milestone, as the company, under the leadership of Takumi Yamaguchi, will introduce a wide array of experiences and products aimed at bridging the gap between shareholders and its partner businesses.

Set to be mailed in early May, the 'Shareholder Benefit Notification' will provide details on how eligible shareholders can choose from a remarkable selection of 88 different items offered by 84 companies. The application deadline for these benefits is June 16.

Bridging Shareholders and Customers

Initiated in 2021, the shareholder benefit program was designed to foster a stronger connection between shareholders of PR TIMES and the clients utilizing its services. By offering products and services from customer enterprises, shareholders can gain firsthand experience, creating a personal connection with the brands and enhancing their understanding of the company's mission.

In its fifth year, the program continues to evolve, with a variety of options including meal vouchers, coupons for e-commerce platforms, and physical products such as food and daily essentials. New this year are exclusive experience-based benefits that are not typically available to the public, available thanks to the cooperation of participating companies. Additionally, long-term shareholders (those holding shares for over three years) will have special options to choose benefits priced under 10,000 yen.

Unique Offerings for Shareholders

In a bid to increase engagement, PR TIMES will ensure shareholders have multiple ways to apply for these benefits. In late April, they will introduce a reminder system through phone or email to minimize any oversight on application deadlines. The opportunity for shareholders to experience the exciting offerings will encourage personal connection and deeper appreciation for the products and services.

Some notable examples from this year’s benefits include:

• - Restaurant Vouchers: Enjoy a meal at Sushi Zanmai using gift certificates valid at any of their locations.
• - Gourmet Chocolates: A selection of chocolates from JEAN-PAUL HÉVIN, featuring exquisite ganaches and cookies for connoisseurs.
• - Craft Beer Packages: Sample an assortment of craft beers from Yona Yona Brewing, known for its complex flavors and high quality.

And for those with a penchant for unique experiences, PR TIMES will offer opportunities like ramen-making workshops at AFURI, where families can create and enjoy their dishes.

A Plethora of Choices Awaits Shareholders

Shareholders can browse the extensive list of reward items prior to the arrival of the notification. This transparent approach allows them to look forward to discovering new and exciting products that they can enjoy or gift. PR TIMES is committed to ensuring that the experience of selecting benefits is as exciting as the rewards themselves.

The 2025 shareholder benefits program is just one example of how PR TIMES is dedicated to not just keeping its shareholders informed but also engaged and actively participating in the company's growth. By facilitating unique experiences, they create pathways for connections that transcend traditional shareholder-issuer dynamics. Each option is a step towards mutual appreciation between stakeholders and enterprises.

Reporting on innovative customer engagement strategies reflects well on PR TIMES’s mission to showcase the value of its clients and foster a supportive network among investors. As each shareholder actively participates in this program, they enhance their relationship with the brands represented, contributing to a dynamic ecosystem where everyone feels valued.

Looking Forward

PR TIMES remains focused on its mission of connecting their users with valuable insights, experiences, and products. By empowering shareholders to engage with brands they support, the company is not only recognizing their loyalty but also promoting a culture of appreciation and community within its framework.

With the rollout of the 2025 shareholder benefit program, PR TIMES continues to set the standard for how companies can innovate in shareholder engagement, creating bonds that enrich both the shareholders and the brands they represent.
