Introduction
You know that when you’re in charge of a small law firm, it’s often up to you to promote your brand. That means being entrepreneurial and taking the initiative, rather than waiting for your clients to come find you. But what are some ways you can promote a small law firm effectively? Here are some tips:
How do you promote a small law firm? Get out there!
Networking is one of the most important ways to promote your law firm. You can do this in a number of different ways:
- Attend networking events and conferences.
- Speak at local events, seminars and workshops. For example, offer to speak at an event organized by a local law school or professional association (if you are a member). This will help you establish yourself as an expert in your field, which will help grow your business in the long run!
Start by building your personal brand.
First, you’ll need to build your personal brand. Your personal brand will be the foundation for all of your marketing efforts, so it’s important that it’s strong and consistent. A strong personal brand means that clients know what to expect from you when they meet with you for the first time–so make sure that everything from how you dress and speak down to the type of coffee table books on display in your office reinforces what they should expect from an attorney who looks like this:
- Dressing professionally
- Having good posture (no slouching!)
- Speaking clearly and confidently
Build a community on social media.
You can use social media to build a community around your brand, which will help you to engage with clients and find new ones. Social media is also a great way to get feedback from clients, which can be used to improve your service offerings.
Write blog posts.
A great way to promote your law firm is by writing blog posts. Blogs are a great way to build trust with your audience and help you establish yourself as an authority in your field. Blogging also allows you to share insights on trends or topics relevant to your practice area, which can help you gain more exposure for the law firm.
Additionally, blogging can help build community around the firm because people are more likely to engage with content that looks like it’s written specifically for them (like a post about how one client solved their problem).
Use video marketing.
Video marketing is a powerful way to promote your firm. Not only does it allow you to showcase your expertise, it also allows you to connect with prospects in a more personal way than text or still images can. For example, if you’re looking for an attorney who specializes in immigration law, a video of that attorney talking about his/her experience and process could be very helpful for someone who’s trying to decide who they want as their lawyer.
Video marketing tools like Wistia or Animoto allow users to create professional-looking videos quickly and easily–so there’s no excuse not start using them! Once you’ve created your video(s), post them on YouTube and Facebook so that anyone searching for information about small law firms will see them when they search those terms on Google or Bing (the two most popular search engines).
Use email marketing campaigns to stay in touch with clients and prospects.
Email marketing is the best way to stay in touch with your clients, prospects and community. It’s also a great way to promote events, services and products that you offer.
Use email marketing to promote your blog or webinar series. If you’re hosting an event at your office and want people from other businesses/organizations who may not know about it yet, send them an invitation via email!
You can promote a small law firm effectively with some basic strategies, including blogging and using social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
There are a number of ways you can promote a small law firm, including blogging and using social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Blogging is an excellent way to get the word out about your business. Whether it’s an infographic or an article about something that has been in the news recently (such as why small businesses should be filing for trademarks), blogging is an effective way to attract new clients who may be interested in hiring you as their attorney.
Social media sites such as Facebook are also great tools for promoting your practice because they allow you to connect with potential clients directly through posts on their timelines or walls (depending on the platform). You can share links from other websites related specifically toward small businesses like yours; post photos from events where you were able to speak with potential clients; ask questions about issues pertaining specifically toward those types of businesses such as taxes or employment law issues; comment on articles written by professionals within industries related specifically toward yours (“liking” them); etc., all while still maintaining privacy settings so only people who follow each other will see these posts/comments!
