JUMP START YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

This one day workshop is an overview of social media marketing for small to mid-size businesses and legal marketers to develop new business and come up with answers to key questions that will accelerate your productivity.

Who can benefit?

• Small to mid-size law firms
  
• Public Relations agencies
• Marketing organizations
• Businesses looking to maximize their online communications

I’ve found that the best prospective client “gate-way” for law firms has changed from their website to the firm’s blog. It is the central platform for your presence in social media and it is where you want to generate a steady flow of traffic.

To get a firm’s blog up and running quickly there are some questions that must be answered, such as:

• Who is our best target audience?

• What is our point of differentiation from our competitors?

• What are our core strengths?

• What kind of helpful resources does the blog provide so that we can write a simple descriptor statement for our blog?

• What are the key search words we can dominate for our target audience to find our site?

• Who will be the face(s) for the company?

• What are the top 10 to 12 categories we will write to?

• What is the title and domain for our blog?

• What blog platform are we going to use?

The workshop is affordably priced at $1,850, with small-to midsize organizations in mind. The only additional costs is travel expense and that is kept to a one night hotel accommodation and airfare if needed.

First Step – Social Media / New Business Workshop

To kick off the campaigns I start with a workshop for each of your firm’s principals and key staff members. The workshop is designed to help “jump-start” your business effort. Part of the day will be spent with an overview of how to create a new business program through social media.

The second portion of the day is spent on your firm’s positioning, and the best way to go to market. Answering questions such as:
