Modern marketing is not without its complexities. But for Shaparak Marketing, the goal is to separate ourselves from the troubled systems of our competitors. And one of the best ways to do that is to change the way we think. Adaptation is the name of the game, and that starts with deep and complex research and a dedicated eye towards the evolving landscape of family law. It’s about progress, more than anything. But how does a family law firm stay ahead of the game?
In order to market ourselves effectively, we have to consider the evolution of family law in a changing America. From the kind of families we serve to the kind of clients we solicit; it’s all about understanding the numbers and being ready to meet their needs. With the addition of the new same sex marriage laws, our marketplace has unprecedented opportunity for growth. But, as with any growth opportunity, our firm cannot just take its chances and take a few bets when it comes to strategy.
Have you ever taken the time to consider what a modern American family looks like? With both legal and cultural changes affecting the ways that people interact, whether in accordance with the law or not, it’s important for marketers in the family law space to ask a lot of questions. Especially when it comes to the rising number of non-nuclear families. The way we think about the family unit should guide our marketing efforts.
Every year, we see new numbers emerge from agencies like the U.S. census, and it’s clear that the traditional nuclear family is becoming less and less common. Whether due to same sex unions, single parent households, or even polyamory, the family structure is in flux. This means that the analytical team behind family law firms needs to be prepared to meet those corresponding needs.
In order to meet the needs of diverse family structures, a firm has to consider the following strategies:
A savvy marketer knows how to capitalize on commonalities in the human experience. This means modifying the way that consultants think about the world around them; looking at things a little differently. A modern family is a compilation of many conceptions; it is not one unit. It is a conglomeration of various elements; different factors that make up a unique whole. And it comes in all varieties.
In some cases, the court may grant child support and alimony, the most known aspect of family law, but may also distribute property and assets, value of retirement benefits, and other family property. Understanding these processes will help one tailor his or her marketing strategy for clients who need family law assistance. Many successful family law firms enable easy communication with current and potential clients, offering contact either by email, phone, or chat. This fosters communication between clients and the firm, which enhances client experience and brand reputation.
