Perhaps the best existing marketing strategy for law firms is one that is most obvious and extremely easy to understand. However, it seems to be overlooked by many attorneys and legal firms.
Like any business, individuality is the most important aspect for any law firm to have. Some people may feel that is stating the obvious, but this notion is often ignored.
Most firms discuss their areas of practice, their experience and their successes regarding case settlements and verdicts. What about what sets them apart from the thousands of other lawyers out there with the same credentials?
Most personal injury and accident lawyers state in their website that they will get clients the compensation they need and deserve, but doesn’t every personal injury attorney do that? Isn’t that their purpose?
Divorce lawyers say that they’ll help clients with child custody matters and spousal support, but what makes them different than other family law attorneys?
To establish a well-marketed firm, it is important for lawyers to recognize the need to advertise their uniqueness and what makes them better than the rest. It’s important not to fall within the traditional legal wording expressed on most law firm websites and get your name out there and all over the web for more unique reasons.
For example, these creative ideas can set your law firm apart from others:
- A divorce law firm which offers community resources for the emotional and financial needs of children of separating couples
- Personal injury lawyers who offer to meet with the client in their home or hospital
- Real estate attorneys willing to close property transactions on a Saturday
- Lawyers who have late hours so clients do not have to lose work time
- The use of inventive technology in criminal law cases
Any press is good press. Conversation monitoring tools such as Social Mention (www.socialmention.com) are useful tools to help lawyers track how often they are mentioned – in whatever context – on the web. After all, all publicity and online mentions are good.
How can you make your office unique? We’d like to hear!
