“When it comes to your law firm, you need to make as many impressions as possible,” says Gary Sarner, Founder of ROI360PLUS. After 35 years of experience in advertising, Gary understands exactly what tools lawyers need to maximize their marketing. In today’s episode, host Alex Valencia and guest Gary Sarner, sitSarner sit down to discuss radio ads and why every law firm needs to be doing them.
According to Gary, a shocking “ 80% of law firms still spend their money on TV," and while TV advertising does generate new clientele, there are massive amounts of missed opportunities on the radio, specifically for personal injury lawyers. Gary explains that when an injury or accident arises, the client is most likely not watching TV, so that’s why it's important to touch people where they are. If you redirect just a small percentage of your budget to advertising on the radio, you can be sure that your business will explode.
While radio advertising is proven to yield results, the most important component to the success of your firm’s advertising is your reputation. Nothing you say on-air will have any meaning until you are the trusted attorney in your community. Whether you are a one-person firm, or a 300 -person firm, it is crucial to be active in the community by building relationships and a brand that people believe in. At the end of the day, “it’s not about how great the law firm is; it’s about how trusted the law firm is.”
