Every law firm has certain things that it’s really good at, but promoting themselves may not be the best trait of the average firm. However, one firm that’s particularly good at this is Diamond and Diamond lawyers, which was recently featured in Forbes for managing to grow their Canadian firm, while the rest of the law firms couldn’t keep up. They used a lot of unique ways to grow their business. Today, we are going to discuss some unique ways that you can use to grow your law firm as well to make you the number one expert in your community for your practice.
Develop An Amazing Design
Growth and marketing all start with the image that your brand portrays. Therefore, it’s vital to hire a great design firm to develop your logo. If your logo is old and you have a nice little marketing budget, it may be time to do an upgrade and promote it all over town. Even though it’s just a simple design, this can create a lot more capital for you in the long run by bringing you more clients. Try to build one that manages to fit who you are as a firm and your corporate seal for legal documents. Do you want to look modern, yet classy? Show that in the design. It’s all about developing your brand image.
Help Support Your Community
Lawyers can often get a bad image by simply being lawyers. The title can have a negative connotation to it to many people. Strengthen your brand image by participating in local events to support your community and build trust with the people in that community. You can cook hotdogs at a music in the park festival, sponsor a local sporting event or a charity fundraising event. You can even host your own event. The important thing is that you’re remaining active in your community and earning respect among the people who live there.
Build Trust
Overall, successful law firms have trust with their clients. This can be successfully done by being friendly and professional to them and their family. Work the hardest that you can for them so they know you have their back. By building trust you’ll create incredible word of mouth marketing in the area, which is the best kind of marketing to have because it’s organic. Plus, these clients will come back over and over again with all of their law needs.
Water The Plants
By watering the plants and keeping the office building nice and tidy, you’re showing your clients that you care about the small things. If a lawyer has managed to let a plant die in his office, then can the client really trust that lawyer to handle understand smallest details of the case? This comes off as potential laziness, whether that’s the case or not. Hire a cleaning person to come over twice a week to tidy things up and water the plants.
Be A Leader
The most successful law firms are the one’s who are leaders in their community. They are respected and looked up to in the courtroom and on the street. They stand up for what they believe in and always fight hard. They are professional, smart, and a little charming. Be the leader and join the small business revolution. Show your clients that they should put their trust in you, because you’re going to do right by them and you will succeed because you’re a winner.
Building a successful law firm takes a lot of work, but it’s a rewarding process as you continue to gain trust and respect among your peers and your community. These are five important aspects that every law firm must have.
