Popular websites like Facebook and Twitter are proving to be effective marketing tools for professionals in a range of fields including law. Resources like Twitter are particularly effective for attorneys and law firms seeking to strengthen client relationships, increase awareness about their availability to prospective clients, and offer general legal advice or support to the public.

Worthy Advice

A recent blog post by Digg founder Kevin Rose, who has also invested in Twitter, that lists ways users can increase their number of Twitter followers, provides advice applicable to those in the legal field. Among the key points of advice outlined by Rose, which attorneys may find most beneficial for law firm marketing are:

• Putting one’s Twitter account on display (attorneys and firms may include a link on their professional website, business cards, and in newsletters, and on other mailings or handouts)
• Being mindful of the habits of Twitter users with a high following and their habits
• Keeping track of new users and followers (This information can be used to improve marketing strategies)
