“How can I create a successful law firm marketing strategy?”
It’s a question the pepper team are asked a lot. The answer will depend on the type of law you practice, the size of your firm and the clients you service.
A common thread in all law firm marketing strategies, however, is to have a digital first mindset. Digital marketing presents a raft of positive outcomes, not least, cost efficiencies and more reliable tracking and reporting, which means less of a blindfolded, throw-the-money-and-hope-for-best approach.
To highlight the importance of digital marketing, here are some important numbers to know:
- 93% of online experiences start with a search engine.
- 72% of Australians are on social media (Source: Digital 2020 – Australia, We Are Social).
- 80% of business professionals believe that email marketing increases customer retention (Source: myemma.com).
The 2019 ALPMA and GlobalX Legal Industry Report surveyed 172 law firms across Australia and New Zealand and found 62% of respondents have developed a marketing strategy for the future, likely due to the competitive nature of the law firm market. It’s a good number, but it still leaves a large group that have yet to form a strategy, let alone implement it.

The same report also found that client interaction and verbal communication were the most crucial skills for lawyers. In parallel with this, one of the key elements to a strong law firm marketing strategy lies in understanding your client and listening to them.
