“You Practice Law; Leave the Rest to Us.”
Tim Staggs, founder of Staggs Legal Marketing Services, is an attorney practicing in the State of Indiana. SLMS grew out of his realization that while attorneys are overwhelmed with advice about how to market their practices, we work in a profession where few have the time to act on that advice. Those that do often find themselves sacrificing precious time they could spend billing or managing their caseload — or on their personal lives — in order to produce marketing materials that look... well, semi-professional at best!
“Don’t Be the Attorney 80% of Clients Don’t Even Know About!”
At the same time, however, traditional advertising has fallen to the wayside. While the cost of Yellow Pages advertising has continued to soar, fewer and fewer people rely on the Yellow Pages to find and research businesses. In fact, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has said publicly that he believes the Yellow Pages will be obsolete for most of the population within five years. The Internet, on the other hand, is seeing remarkable and sustained growth. In a recent survey, fully 80% of respondents indicated that they research local businesses online before using their services! You don't want to be the attorney who 80% of the community doesn’t know about!
That’s where we can help. SLMS focuses its efforts on two of the most talked-about and most successful Internet marketing tools available to lawyers today: Websites and e-Newsletters.
An SLMS Website gives you that professional online presence that consumers have come to expect. It lets people know who you are and what your practice is about. In short, your website tells people why they should trust you with their legal matters. Your website is your most vital piece of advertising; it makes that first call happen.
An SLMS e-Newsletter helps you build your relationship with new clients, or to build on the bonds you’ve formed with your existing and former clientele. Unlike most newsletter services, our newlsetters are truly client-focused, meaning they are written in a way that gives your clients information they can easily understand and use to see how your practice can offer them more as new legal needs arise. In addition, by maintaining an online archive of your e-Newsletters, they can serve double-duty, working to supplement your website as an online advertising resource and to set you apart from your peers.
“Marketing for Attorneys, By an Attorney”
What really makes SLMS unique, though, is the perspective we gain by having an attorney’s opinion about what works to market your law practice successfully. Mr. Staggs is involved in every aspect of the design and development of your marketing materials. He works with you personally to identify the goals for your project, then works alongside our design team to make sure the final product meets your expectations.
At the end of the day, you get a better online marketing experience. And since you leave it in our hands, you can spend that extra time you have doing. . . well, whatever you want!
