Small law firms and solo legal practitioners serious about marketing their practices now have access to Market Your Law Practice.com and hundreds of marketing resources, planning tools, tip sheets and checklists to ethically develop new business.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 4, 2009 -- What once was a very competitive marketplace for small law firms and solo practitioners is opening up for those savvy about marketing and business development. As the Am Law 200 firms across the U.S. lay off lawyers, small law firms have opportunities to fill the void left by the large ones. Landing these opportunities still requires an understanding of ethical marketing strategies. MarketYourLawPractice.com offers the small law firm and solo practitioner resources found in most large law firm marketing departments and then some.
"In today's marketplace, particularly in this tight economy, lawyers feel incredible pressure to build their practices and that means marketing their practices," says Terrie Wheeler, veteran legal marketing consultant, coach, and founder of MarketYourLawPractice.com. "MarketYourLawPractice.com is essentially like working one-on-one with a marketing coach but it's done virtually and is more cost-effective."
MarketYourLawPractice.com is the first tool of its kind in the nation to offer a comprehensive online legal marketing system based on a proven process and backed by hundreds of assessments, planning tools ,tip sheets, and checklists to help lawyers ethically develop new business. The site includes many interactive features like a contact management program, an activities tracker, as well as an option to interact directly with a Virtual Marketing Coach.
Marketing coaches can be expensive. Good ones--with specialized legal marketing experience--cost between $10,000 and $12,000 per lawyer, per year. An annual individual subscription to Market Your Law Practice.com is $1,450; that's $120 per lawyer, per month. A number of bar associations including New York, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Vermont already have affinity partnerships with MarketYourLawPractice.com, which lowers a member's cost to $62.50 per month.
The concept behind MarketYourLawPractice.com is based on Wheeler's proven Your Personal Marketing Coach SM program. To help clients in her marketing coaching practice stay focused, Wheeler developed the Four Pillars of Marketing SM: 1) to retain and grow relationships with existing clients, 2) attract new clients and develop new business, 3) increase name recognition and awareness, and 4) to create targeted and effective communications. Subscribers access the MarketYourLawPractice.com site through four portals organized around these four pillars.
