Choose Branding Strategies That Fit Your Objective
Branding is a way of describing your law firm’s “personality,” i.e., the essence of what makes you special. It sounds simple enough, but there’s more to branding than meets the eye. Here are some branding pointers:
Decide What Your Brand Will Be
What kind of personality will you present to the world? How do you want clients to feel emotionally when they relate to you? How will they recognize you? How will they remember you?
Use Color, Images and Words to Communicate Your Brand
From the colors on your Web site, to the font style in your logo, to the words in your slogan, to the paper stock of your letterhead - these are all important factors in how you shape your brand.
Promote Your Branding as Regularly as Possible
Take every opportunity to communicate your brand on your Web site, in your marketing materials, in client meetings, at networking functions and in media interviews.
Branding Should Support Your Marketing Message
Get the most of your brand by pairing it with your marketing message. Tell people why they should hire you (marketing message); then get them to never forget you (branding).
Keep Your Name Front and Center
Have you ever seen a great TV commercial and later couldn't remember the name of the advertiser? It happens all the time. For the most part, those are wasted advertising dollars.
