Marketing Strategies

PPC (Pay Per Click)
Ever search for something near you on Google search? For example “Sushi near me”. Well, most people in need of a lawyer are searching “Lawyer near me”, so you want to make sure you’re at the top of that list. Using custom targeting and key phrases relating to your business, a Pay Per Click (Google Ads) campaign can get you there.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Do you think that social media is not for serious businesses such as law firms? Research shows that even more than websites, social media is becoming the face of brand presence. Think about it: 79% of internet users use Facebook and according to Hubspot, 87% of Generation X’ers and 70% of users between 45-60 believe brands should have a social media presence, specifically a Facebook page. That’s serious.
EMAIL MARKETING
Before social media, email was a key means to get businesses in front of potential clients, and it’s becoming an undervalued and underutilized method for delivering your message. Nine billion people use email, and 92% of adults check their email daily. Since you probably already have a giant database of clients, let’s capitalize on this connection by sending them a newsletter touting your recent coups and leading them to your website and social media pages so they’re aware of your services and how to contact you.
