There is no correct, blanket answer for how much your firm should be spending on your marketing efforts.
Deciding on a proper marketing budget for your law firm will require you to consider:
- What competitors with successful campaigns spend on advertising
- What amount of marketing will provide the best value
- How much revenue your firm is bringing in
- What you are aiming to achieve with your marketing efforts
- Which avenues you are willing to consider and ultimately invest in
It is important to identify the forms of marketing that will provide you the greatest returns on investment. In today’s digital marketing world, you may want to consider investing in Facebook and Instagram, since their combined active users total over 300 million nationwide.
Reaching Potential Clients Through Facebook
Facebook is more than just a marketing tool; it has evolved into a verifiable marketing ecosystem, with a built-in, billion-plus-member customer base ripe to receive your law firm’s messaging.
Per their own in-house metrics, Facebook has:
- More than 189 million daily users in the U.S. and Canada alone
- More than 247 million monthly users in the same region
- A user base that is projected to grow indefinitely
These numbers alone suggest that your law firm could benefit from marketing through these social media platforms. Beyond the substantial user base, Facebook is, for many businesses, a successful method of reaching potential clients.
Some of the features of Facebook that make it conducive to advertising include:
- The fact that Facebook users often make information about themselves readily available, much of which could be valuable in informing your marketing strategies
- Advertising analytics tools which allow you to access anonymous data that may ultimately improve your ability to target users and retain clients
- Facebook’s user interface allows for advertisements to be easily accessed by a wide audience of users
- Advertising on Facebook does not come with the typical constraints of other platforms
- Facebook users, according to data collected from eMarketer, spend more than 30 minutes per day on the site, increasing your advertisements’ visibility
- Advertisement retargeting is a Facebook-offered marketing tool that can help extend your ad’s reach beyond the platform itself
Facebook could be a promising marketing ecosystem for your law firm. If you have yet to utilize Facebook as an advertising platform for your business or are interested in doing so, consider moving forward today.
Instagram is an Emerging Giant in Digital Advertising
Another strong and still-emerging marketing asset for your law firm is Instagram. The app-based platform, Instagram, is undoubtedly dominated by a relatively younger demographic, specifically 18 to 34-year-olds. For many law firms, this demographic can be elusive for several reasons.
They may be difficult to market to effectively because:
- They are less likely to interact with cable television, AM/FM radio, and print media
- They may require non-traditional forms of advertisement to increase user engagement
- They spend a significant amount of time on platforms where many law firms have not been proportionally represented
This audience could be a valuable source of clients for your law firm. By coming up with an advertising campaign that takes user demographics and preferences into account, Instagram marketing has the ability to give you an advantage over your competitors.
