Lawyer Print Marketing

Here’s a hint for increasing revenue: think print! Lawyers often think that flashy television or radio spots are going to get them the most attention, but it’s actually print media that has become the most popular marketing method within the legal community. When a potential client begins their search for a lawyer, many of them reach for the phone book. Is your ad in there? If not, make this your top priority. Clients can’t reach you if they don’t know how to find you!

In addition to placing an ad in the phone book, you should start researching the top publications in your area such as newspapers and magazines and start running ads showcasing your firm. Other direct mail pieces such as brochures have also proven to be effective ways to gain more clients. Billboards are also a great marketing technique.

And don’t underestimate the power of a professional business card. Work with a designer and a professional copywriter to craft something that’s short, snappy and impressive. It makes networking easier and will make you look like a real pro.

Investing in a complete print media marketing package

If you’re serious about growing your list of clients, increasing your revenue and are tired of waiting for more clients to come to you, then seriously consider investing in a complete marketing program. While print media is important, the most successful lawyers understand the importance of diversifying their marketing programs.

By using multi-media marketing and print media, you’re much more likely to reach prospects. Think about working with a professional marketing team to brand yourself so that your logos, tagline, colors and message are consistent across your marketing mediums. This makes it easier for potentials clients to recognize you and it gives you an identity in the legal community. If you’re in a particularly competitive area, setting yourself apart from the pack is a necessity to bringing in more clients!

But just as you specialize in a particular area of law, think about contacting only those who specialize in legal marketing. They’ll know the best places to position your ads and can help you put together a professional print ad and marketing campaign.
