Alt Legal WebinarOn Your Mark(eting): Planning for a successful 2023

Alt Legal Team | January 02, 2023
2 min read

This webinar was recorded on January 12, 2023.

Law firm marketing strategies are as different as the firms themselves, but taking control of your personal marketing plan is the best way to ensure the growth of your practice. How can you make sure you’re getting the best bang for your marketing buck? Whether your strategy is to rely on social media, to go to in-person industry events, network at conferences, attend firm events, or to use traditional billboards on the highway, creating a plan and a budget is key (even if your firm has marketing professionals). In this webinar, Firm Forward CEO Elyssa LeFevre Chayo described how to create a marketing plan—from budgets to platforms—that you’ll stick to and that will drive your success for the year. In particular she discussed:

  • Deciding which platforms and marketing approaches will yield you the best ROI
  • Coordinating travel and conferences, including those you will not attend
  • Prioritizing tasks, expenses, and goals to ensure maximum marketing impact
  • Creating a budget to ensure your expenses are affordable and productive
  • Planning out the year’s marketing to avoid last-minute scrambles
  • Working with marketing professionals to ensure your plan comes to fruition
