Law Firm Marketing

Law Firm Marketing isn’t just word of mouth.

It goes without saying that the marketing of your law firm isn’t as simple as word of mouth any more. Receiving a referral of a new client from a former client is wonderful validation and testimony that you provide quality legal services to your clients. But let’s face it, are you really going to wait for the next referral or stare at the phone waiting for it to ring? Unlikely. If you are focused on sustaining and growing your business, you need to market your firm and a professional way.

Offline versus Online Marketing for Law Firms

It’s almost unthinkable that there is a new generation of consumers that have no idea what a land line is. Probably as unthinkable as some of our elders still have no idea what a smart phone is or how to use one. One thing is for sure, technology is here to stay. It is going to be here long after you decide to retire from your Law Practice. With this technology comes online marketing versus the traditional way our parents used to make their buying decisions.

Consumers are increasingly using technology to find products and services they want or need on the Internet. Online marketing is all around us on websites, search engines, YouTube and social media. Which form of online advertising is right for your law firm? This mostly depends on who your target client is, be it a business, an individual or a family.
