New Approaches to Using Video for Business Development
Online video is growing rapidly, with 84% of the US internet audience viewing online videos in 2010. Video can help law firms stand out from the 200 million websites and gain higher search rankings by providing an engaging social medium to effectively communicate complex legal information. There are different levels of social engagement that videos can achieve, from passive likes to active sharing and support. Law firms should create a video strategy with objectives, assign internal roles, develop content like thought leadership and education, and distribute videos through social media and law-focused sites while monitoring key performance indicators.
