Using Your Legal Marketing Campaign to Target Your Perfect Client

If you're not open to taking every case that passes across your desk, then why should you market to every potential client? Just as most professionals have the right to refuse service to risky customers, lawyers have the right to pick and choose the perfect client they want to represent.

Your legal marketing campaign will be your greatest weapon in attracting and signing your perfect client. A well-targeted legal marketing system allows you to focus on the types of clients YOU want to work with. Being more specific in your legal marketing efforts will also help you spend your time and energy where it belongs and not on marketing to unwanted clients.

Identify Your Perfect Client First

The first step in attracting your perfect client is to identify just who your perfect client is. You can't market to someone who you don't know anything about, so take the time to decide what's important to your practice. Do you want the big-money case, or the high-profile trial?

Who makes your list as a perfect client is a decision you'll have to come to on your own, but once you do it's time to think about how to attract them. Where do they look for information? If you concentrate your legal marketing efforts on areas they utilize frequently, you'll end up having to do less marketing work with a more quality return.

Efficient Marketing to the Right Cases

If you fear that by passing up on little cases the big cases won't come, you're going about things all wrong. You're too good to be settling for anything and everything that comes your way. A successful lawyer can pick and choose their perfect client without feeling like they're losing out on other cases.

Your two most important resources are your time and money, both of which can be eaten away at by inefficient, untargeted legal marketing tactics. Take a look at how you're spending your marketing resources. Why do you advertise where you do? Is it because it's the most "bang for your buck"? Or is it because you know the people who are going to see and respond to your efforts are your perfect clients?

If you answered the former, you've got some thinking to do about your legal marketing efforts. Stop wasting your time on wide-scale marketing campaigns that are only going to waste more of your time with client consultations that aren't with your perfect client. Focusing your legal marketing on attracting the perfect client you want at the outset will save you time in the long run.
