SPECIAL SERVICES FOR LAW FIRMS
Law firms too often let auto-pilot drive their marketing efforts.
Despite spending considerable money, the mindset of, “Let’s just do what we did last year” takes hold.
It’s an easy trap to fall into. Different sales reps come calling, month after month, for directories, online services, traditional media outlets and the flavor-of-the-month new digital product.
Digital services are on monthly billing, with automatic renewal. Professional directories solicit multiple checks a year – with a Congratulations letter. The distinctions come with the privilege of buying an expensive magazine ad and plaque – with two more billings, in addition to the directory-inclusion charge.
Your law firm signed up to each of these services or products with high energy and bright ideas. Each was sure to produce results. Maybe they did. Maybe they still do.
But the person in the office who originally handled maintenance of the contracts left the firm, or passed the duties to a replacement. Three different ad reps have come and gone since you bought the first ad with each directory. The support contact for your website and each digital product changed, then changed again. The junior associate who joined the practice so excited about blogging didn’t stay excited for long. Now it’s pretty much pulling teeth to get anyone at the firm to produce original new content for the site. Your bio and informational products in the reception area get dusted regularly, but never updated.
Everyone at the firm got busy with other tasks, like practicing law. And auto-pilot took the marketing reins.
But you CAN do better.

Reasonable fees, based on menu selection
Charges for this work are offered on very reasonable monthly-fee plans, based on your choices from a menu of available services. Short-term projects also are welcome and are billed on an hourly-fee basis.
Since the monthly-fee plans start with a review of your current practices and spending, savings may well pay our fees initially. Large law firms assign a partner as their marketing director and pay full-time staff members to do this work. Then they still end up regularly contracting big PR firms for specific special projects.
You can save the full-time costs and achieve the same or better results, by using Meyer Media as an independent contractor for these services. All services contracts with Meyer Media also keep us on retainer for special projects. Our efficiency and effectiveness review is ongoing, to plan and then regularly assess all your advertising, communications and marketing efforts.
