Showcase Your Credibility and Expertise

The potential clients who have registered for your webinar are specifically looking for information that piques their interest. They are turning to your law firm as an expert thought leader on specific legal topics. Webinars keep your audience engaged with content relevant to their legal needs and offers an opportunity for asking questions and receiving real-time feedback. Webinar attendees are looking to gain value from your webinar presentation and by meeting their expectations, you will in turn gain credibility in the law firm industry.

Increase New Leads

Webinars grow your brand by instantly opening the door for your firm to have a conversation that reaches more people at once. As a business, you are always looking for new clients to grow your business. It is a common webinar practice to require registration to attend. These leads are opting to learn more about a topic and your firm. A webinar gives you the chance to capture new lead’s information and foster a relationship. After a webinar, you can then follow up with attendees via a promotional email campaign or direct contact, leading to attendees turning into your clients.

Repurpose into More Marketing Material

Your firm’s webinar can serve as marketing material that can be repurposed into new variations of thought leadership and business development content pieces. Webinars are more than a one-time event; they can be used as video content to promote your practice areas on social media. Your firm can also use the recording as a lead generation magnet on your website. There are many ways you can repurpose your webinar content. Some examples are using your videos to create a YouTube page, use the audio to create a podcast, or upload your slides to SlideShare or other educational platforms. Strategically reusing and repurposing your webinar recording will build your brand awareness and reinforce your authority in the industry.
