Four Reasons You Still Need to Market Your Law Office Offline

You are on the first page of the search engines. You are getting lots of great website traffic. You have tons of Twitter followers and Facebook friends. You're getting a significant number of leads directly from your online presence each month. You can finally stop sending out your hard copy newsletter and place ads in the paper, right? Wrong.

 

There are a number of solid reasons to keep marketing your attorney's office offline. Let's take a closer look:

 

• Not everyone has the internet. Sure, we're in the digital age, and it seems like almost everyone has a smart phone, iPad, and a laptop on them at all times. However, a significant number of people are still offline, including large numbers of senior citizens and low-income families. These people need legal help, too, and they will often look for it though traditional, offline means.

• Your competition might stop offline marketing. Offline marketing is certainly an added cost, and many of your competitors will probably choose to stop doing it altogether. That means that when someone looks offline for a local attorney, they will find you, not them.

• Many people want a more personal connection. Marketing is more than just signs and advertisements - it's also attending marketing events, speaking at seminars, and communicating in person with potential customers. These marketing techniques will never go out of style, no matter what gadget is invented next.

• Offline marketing builds a more concrete status for you and your firm. The internet can feel very anonymous and ethereal at times. By continuing to send out mailers, place hardcopy ads, and participate in your community, you are establishing yourself as a real place with real employees who involve themselves locally. It gives you a more physical presence - and one that is more lasting.
