TL; DR: Click Here To Check Out Our Awesome Video Samples For Law Firms!
Video marketing for law firms is a hot and powerful trend. Video attracts consumers, and its content can often explain, educate or entertain better than text. A majority of individuals report that they have purchased a product or service based on a marketing video, and 92% of marketers use video in their strategies. Perhaps you know the statistics, but are not sure how to get started using video for your law firm. Law Quill is here to show you how you can attract potential clients with the force of video marketing.
Video Marketing for Law Firms
Video marketing is exploding, and it has radically changed the look of websites, social media and search results. You cannot look at a Facebook feed or run a Google search without seeing video everywhere. Consumers crave video, and they prove it with their wallets: reports tell us that 74% of users who viewed a product explainer video bought the product.
Law firms can use video to show both their professional and personal side, making them stand out from their competitors. Video marketing for law firms is a way to show prospective clients who you are, and how other clients have benefited from your services. However, not all videos are created equal. Any individual can create and publish a video online, but the standards of marketing videos must be higher. Consumers expect more superior standards for the legal industry when it comes to video marketing. A poorly filmed video can translate into an eroded reputation for your law firm.

Law firms are already using video marketing, and this includes your competitors. But, they are not necessarily using it effectively. Here are some common mistakes that law firms make when it comes to utilizing video in their marketing strategies.
Quantity over Quality
Choosing a marketing agency to create a professional video for your law firm is the right idea. However, some marketing agencies sell their video options in bulk, instead of crafting videos one by one that speak to your prospective clients. It is better to have a small stash of quality videos that ooze your brand and message in a professional way, rather than a bulk rendition that says nothing unique. When the focus is quantity over quality, your law firm video will just look like any other law firm video with its generic backgrounds, typical music and legal jargon.
Wrong Length
Video length is crucial. Just because consumers crave video content doesn’t mean they want to sit through a bland, stretched out video. Short video clips are preferred for busy users who want to ingest meaningful content fast. At Law Quill, we produce short and powerful videos that speak your message. Then we leave.
Mediocre Message
A video that carries a mediocre message is too long, even if it lasts only 20 seconds. However, potential clients that find an engaging message will take time to watch a video that is helpful, inspiring or entertaining. An effective, professional marketing video should:
- Be a story more than an obvious sales pitch
- Not be stiff or boring
- Convey a reason for watching it: New information? Humor value? Motivate to action?
Trying Too Hard
Creativity and authenticity are stellar attributes, but not when they obscure the video message. Some videos just try too hard to be avant garde, funny or clever — and it shows. A finished video product can be unique and attractive, while also looking sharp and professional.
Forgetting SEO
When it comes to video for marketing purposes, descriptions are everything. They allow search bots to recognize and categorize your video’s content. Using a professional agency to produce your marketing video will ensure that your video will be properly tagged and titled, in order to give you the maximum SEO boost possible.
