Law firms fail to maximise internet exposure

3rd July 2010, London

"Law firms are failing to maximise their exposure to online consumers by improving their rankings with search engines, a report has shown." – just read it in Law Society Gazette and am rather gutted.
Does it mean that law firms are not interested in online presence? Or maybe they are but whoever is responsible for it is failing miserably?
As we all know the internet is becoming the most important and very often first referral point for most of us. Searching words like 'solicitor in London' or 'lawyer in Essex' is probably the first thing one would do if one needs a help and advice. 'Just google it' became a part of our day to day discourse.

Logo Design

One of the most important features of every business' identity, and therefore a brand, is a logo as this is the first thing that your clients are going to identify you and your firm by. It is your signature on the market that makes you stand out from the crowd. Your personalities, believes, the way you work all encapsulated in a clear and memorable graphic symbol. Your logo.

Rebranding

Brand image in our visually orientated society is very important and plays pivotal role to the success on the market. It needs to follow current trends, it should be kept up-to-date. Do not be deluded into thinking that law firms do not need it, that they do not need to be up-to-scratch with the contemporary looks as long as they are with the legislation. It is a business like others and as long as there is competition the need for marketing identity exists.
Maybe it's time to refresh your brand. Or even go a step further and re-do it completely. Rebrand your practice!
We are here to help you and we will answer all your questions relating to branding, refreshing and rebranding; we will also advise you which strategy would work best for your firm as there is never one size-fits-all.

Design for Print

Solobirch is famous for its bespoke print designs: letterheads, business cards, folders, brochures, publications or even roll-up banners.
One of our basic services includes logo design and providing you with branded stationary – headed notepaper, compliment slips, business cards and a folder. For a little extra you may add a simple website.
If you wish we can also take care of the visual side of your press releases and adverts, large format posters, reports or virtually any type of publication your firm may require.

Printing Services

Not only can we design your marketing materials but we can produce them as well, whatever your requirements may be.

Stationary supply management

We are aware that legal practices use a lot of stationary on a daily basis. That is why we introduced stationary supply management service. Giving you peace of mind and never letting you be out of headed paper or business cards.
We simply scrutinise and calculate your monthly usage, print just a bit more and then run a reprint accordingly to your needs and the calculations. If your circumstances change at any point just let us know and we will amend our records making sure that your stationary cupboard is never empty. This service can be started and terminated by you at any given time.

Website Design

Internet. The biggest curse of our times or the biggest blessing, it is up to you to decide for yourself. Nonetheless, the whole world seems to have moved into the binary space. And why shouldn't you? Well designed website can be the first point of contact and reference for your prospective clients.
At Solobirch we can design and create a website which is always user friendly and tailored to the needs of your business: from a simple, 'presentation-like' website to somewhat more complex portals into which several authors can feed the information simultaneously.
Please do get in touch with us and we will be able to advise you, from our own experience, what would be the most suitable solution for your practice. Sometimes the most complex does not mean the most appropriate.

Online Presence

In 21 century sometimes a website is not enough. There are also other forms of online presence with which Solobirch can always help you – opening your practice to the whole new range of clients and possibilities. Reaching out even further.

Blogs

Have you ever considered writing more or less personal blog in which you could comment on the most recent pieces of legislation or share your knowledge and publishing it on your website? We can create those facilities for you, making it easy and simple.

e-newsletters and e-bulletins

Sometimes you need to update your clients on some most recent and important changes or just send them season greetings. Cards are so not environmentally friendly. Why not to send a special e-card. At Solobirch we will take care of your e-newsletters and e-bulletins and send them to your mailing list every week, fortnight or annually if you prefer it that way.

Social networking

Is social networking a good marketing tool for lawyers? It is worth giving it a try if it can maximise your potential market. If you need help establishing facebook, twitter or youtube account for your practice, do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We will ensure that they all designed to match your firm's branding.

Location Photography

Your brand is not only about the logo or nice stationary – it is all about you. Some designers tend to use stock photos which while being cost effective can be used by multitude of creatives all over the world and then be found on more than one website.
Why not to spend some more time and have visually stunning photographs taken on the location of your choice and especially for you. It is all about your business in the end.

Portrait Photography

Creativity and originality of genuine photography showing real people and real locations, the faces and places behind the practice will gain more trust than any stock photography.
At Solobirch we can take care of a professional photo shoot either in your office, at any other preferred location or in a studio.

At Solobirch we offer you a range of additional services in cooperation with other companies and freelancers. All those services can be a part of a package or purchased on individual basis. We will always ensure that the result you are presented with is exactly the one you were looking for.

External and Internal Signage

We are happy to design your external and internal signage ensuring that it is in line with your branding. We will produce it and make sure that it is installed in the timely manner.

Copywriting

Designing a website is not the same thing as copywriting. We would rather receive all the copies directly from you as you are the expert and you know your business, but we also understand the time constraints of busy lawyers. That's why we offer copywriting service. A representative of our devoted copywriting team will talk to you in order to understand you, your philosophy and your needs, and to create a unique copy for your website, brochure or other marketing materials.

Project Management

Sometimes you do not need just a designer or a copywriter. Sometimes you just need all of those people at once. Solobirch can offer you personalised project management assistance. Feel relieved from the initial meeting during which we will prepare work schedule and agree on action points. The result: within agreed time frame your practice running to the highest marketing standards.

SEO and Positioning

Even if your website will always come SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly having a proper SEO strategy is a completely different story. Would you like to have your own SEO strategy we will be more than happy to assist you.

Links
