Is Your Law Firm Disconnected from Your Target Client?

Many lawyers and law firms fail to connect with their target audience. Connecting with your target client base is absolutely vital in converting your legal marketing dollars to new cases. But what exactly does connecting mean?

When talking about legal marketing, connecting means being found and communicating with your target audience.

Being Found
When someone is looking for an attorney in your area, your law firm’s website needs to be on the first page of the major search engines. Especially Google which gets more than 70% of online search queries.

After someone finds your law firm and clicks on your website, now is your opportunity to truly connect with your visitor.

Subconscious and Intellectual Connections
Legal branding is all about the client making a subconscious connection with your law firm. When someone is seeking an attorney, in most cases, they are in a stressful time in their life and the last thing they will connect with is a cookie cutter template, scales of justice stock imagery, and an animated gavel.

Depending on your area of law, your law firm’s logo, website, and brand should communicate with your audience. For example, corporate lawyers can be colder in their look as their clientele wants to see competence and a serious image. However, a law firm specializing in personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other areas of law that have a victimized client base could damage their image with a corporate look.

In those sensitive areas of law, the law firm needs to project a warm image. The use of bright imagery, earth tones, and softer colors will best communicate with the target client.
