Common Personal Injury Lawyer Advertising Mistakes to Avoid

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Personal injury lawyers spend a tremendous amount of money on advertising but is that enough to really generate the volume of cases needed to keep a personal injury law firm a float?  The average personal injury firm needs about $40,000 per month to stay in business.  This blog post will provide you with a few basic but important marketing tips to improve your personal injury marketing and advertising effectiveness. Although these are not our “top lawyer advertising secrets” these are very common mistakes that I see everyday when consulting with personal injury lawyers through out the U.S..

Here are our top most common mistakes lawyers make with their personal injury advertising:

  1. Their law firm ads look like all the other personal injury law firm ads,
  2. Their law firm advertising does not differentiate your firm from your competitors.
  3. There is no focus or consistency in design, message or impression throughout the marketing materials.
  4. There is no strategic marketing plan tied to a specific budget.
  5. There are no financial goals or metrics measured for each individual marketing implementation.
  6. Each marketing implementation is not tracked or tracked individually to measure trends and effectiveness.
  7. Each marketing implementation should be tied to a cost per call or cost per case metric.
  8. Procrastination and indifference due to a fear of failure.
  9. Lack of buy-in by partners, associates, and staff members to the marketing strategy.
  10. Lack of a law firm marketing plan, understanding the goals of the firm and an elevator pitch used throughout the firm.

Although these may seem rudimentary, these common marketing mistakes lawyers make are huge missed opportunities in revenue and lead generation. These issues tend to run rampant in the legal industry which is understandable as the practice of law is mentally draining and demanding.

If you have any questions or recognize that your law firm needs help in creating a more cost effective strategic marketing plan, then call us today at (769) 218-6099. We have helped over 3,500 law firms generate more revenues and worked with 7 of the top 10 legal brands. We can help!

Law Firm Website Conversion Tip – Award Winning Design Fast Load Time

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The most effective law firm websites will leave the visit with a feel of WOW!  You only have 8 seconds to make a good impression on your website’s new visitors. In the past, an eye-catching lawyer website would be problematic since a lot of graphical elements will increases the overall size of the web pages resulting in a slow web page upload on the the potential law firm client’s browser. So when we design high impact web designs for attorneys, we place emphasis on making sure that the site has a quick downloading speed to prevent visitors leaving too prematurely.

As the average internet bandwidth rate per computer is increasing due to workplace T1, broadband and cell phone 3G networks becoming more common, many law firm web design experts are able to develop complex websites heavily loaded with graphic elements.  This may include using flash elements and presentations, mouseovers, drop downs, and web videos. In today’s high speed Internet age, most websites take only a few seconds to load the key features such as the logo, call to action graphics and web content on the visitor’s web browser.  This is key so the visitor can start reading the website.

Obviously most users will not wait too long for the website to load completely before moving to the other competing law firm websites in the same search results. The problem you may encounter with inexperienced web designers for lawyers is the webmasters are only familiar with developing slow loading sites due to a lack of knowledge of graphic optimization techniques which can allow them to prepare an attractive website with smaller page size. There are not too many lawyers who are familiar with CSS enough to be able to spot a the high level of programming required to make an award winning attorney website load quickly.

Law Firm Website Conversion Tip: High conversion rates occur when you have a very impressive website. A law firm website is the face of your  law firm and speaks volumes about your credibility, attention to detail, customer service and technological prowess. But you must make the load times for your website speedy in order to ensure you do not lose a potential customer who loses interest waiting for the web page to upload. An experienced law firm web design company will slice the custom web design into small images to be used in the html code. Slicing the images is required if your design contain enclosed shapes and overlapping images or areas with gradient colors, so that you will get a small file size which can be easily loaded on the web browser.
