If you spend enough time around children, you quickly realize that they are seeing the world in a very different way than you and I do as adults. They have a fresh, creative, and optimistic outlook on things. The results are often unique because children don’t have years of experiences, biases, and ideas filling their heads. It allows them to remove barriers for creativity and exploration.
I came across this video of a three year old child who is a phenomenal finger painter. He obviously hasn’t had formal training, he just paints what he sees in his head. As you can tell he paints pictures of things that he enjoys. Can you say the same about the way you approach your lawyer advertisements?
I think that lawyers often take a very rigid, uncreative approach to their marketing and advertising. I understand that it’s important to come across professional and also that the subject matter you are dealing with is serious and needs to be handled as such. This doesn’t mean that you still can’t have fun with it and put together lawyer advertisements that are professional, unique, and creative.
Legal advertising is expensive and time consuming. The most effective ads are the ones that others can remember, ones that differentiate your firm, and ones that appear as if the creator had fun making it.
Whether you are blogging, creating commercials, building an ad for the yellow pages, or designing your business cards, think about ways you can be more creative and differentiate yourself. Try to deal with subject matters or legal niches that you enjoy. Partake in marketing and advertising activities that stimulate you and bring out your inner creativity. They will not only make your marketing more enjoyable for you…it will be more effective as well.
