The Advantage of Video Marketing for Law Firms
Video marketing is quickly becoming an indispensable tool in the modern marketing toolkit. And for good reason.
According to Wyzowl’s 2024 State of Video Marketing Report:
- 91% of businesses are using video as a marketing tool
- 90% of marketers say that video generates a positive ROI
- 87% say that video is effective for lead generation
- 88% agree that videos increase user understanding of their product or service
Video can play a substantial role in client acquisition. According to that same 2024 report:
- 82% of people say that they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand’s video.
- When asked how they’d most like to learn about a product or service, 44% of people said they’d prefer to watch a short video – beaint out other materials such as ebooks or manuals, infographics, sales calls and webinars/presentations/pitches. Only 13% said they would rather read a text-based article, website, or post.
- People are twice as likely to share video content with their friends than any other type of content, including social media posts, blog posts/articles, and product pages (Wyzowl 2022).
Video is a Competitive Advantage
While many B2C and B2B businesses are using video to improve brand awareness, generate leads, and drive revenue growth, law firms have been slower adopters. Only 30% of law firms are using video as part of their marketing (ABA 2023 TechReport)
Law firms that are creating and sharing high-quality videos can gain a competitive advantage and differentiate their brand online, on social media, and in their chosen market.
Purchasing legal services is a major decision. Prospective clients want proof that a law firm has what it takes to solve their problems. They want to feel confident in their choice. Through video, your firm can speak directly to prospective clients, provide persuasive evidence of your firm’s expertise and accomplishments, and establish a personal connection.
Types of effective law firm videos include:
- Lawyer Intros: Prospective clients visit lawyer bio pages to learn about the lawyer’s experience and credentials. But clients also care about the personality of a lawyer – they want someone who is attentive, professional and personable.
Video is a superb way to foster trust during a critical juncture of the client acquisition process. Through an introduction, a lawyer can speak directly to potential clients, outline their approach, and let their personality shine through. - Case Studies: Video case studies are a compelling way to tell the story of your firm’s successes. They allow you to highlight your winning track record and provide evidence of your firm’s expertise in a practice area or industry.
- Client Testimonials: Having clients speak to their experiences with your lawyers and firm is incredibly impactful. Well-executed testimonials are memorable and sharable.
- Announcements: Showcasing noteworthy firm announcements through video – such as a Chambers listing, expansion of your team, or expanded service offering – can allow you to capture audience attention. According to one study, viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to 10% when reading it in text (Insivia).
- Holiday Cards: A custom video holiday card shows clients how much you care. Video dramatically increases email click rates. Adding video to email can boost click rates by up to 300% (MarTech Advisor).
- Homepage Videos: When new visitors land on your homepage, you may have only seconds to earn their attention. A homepage video can capture visitor interest, reinforce your brand, and outline your firm’s key messaging and differentiator. Here are 5 Reasons to use video on your law firm website.
- Practice Area or Industry-Specific Videos: Videos specific to a practice area or industry can be leveraged for your website, social media, and for conferences, seminars, webinars, and other events.
Video Will Shape the Future of Law Firm Marketing
The way that people engage with websites and digital content is changing. Instead of reading articles on their desktop computers, prospective clients are increasingly using their smartphones to stream video.
According to Oberlo, people watch an average of 17 hours of video per week, and a Personify report predicts that online videos will account for 91% of all internet traffic by 2025. The 2024 Wyzowl report also shows that 89% of people say they want to see more video content from brands.
Your clients have on-the-go lifestyles; they will appreciate the ease and convenience of a well-crafted video.
