Basically, a lead magnet is marketing speak for an offer of something valuable to prospective clients. In exchange for the “free offer”, the other party provides you with their contact information. Otherwise known as an Incredible Free Offer, lead magnets are used to create sales leads. Therefore, in the legal industry, lead magnets for law firms and lawyers can be powerful marketing tools.
Examples of Lead Magnets
Depending on your practice area and/or ideal client, you may want to think about what type of lead magnets to offer. Regardless, there are several types of lead magnets available to you. Including:
- Webinars
- Checklists
- E-Books
- Industry Reports
- White Papers
- Case Studies
- Toolkits
- Videos
- Templates
- Assessments & Evaluations
Must Be Useful, Relevant & Unique
The key to an effective lead magnet is that your audience must find it to be valuable. In other words, can they get your offer somewhere else? Can they get it for free and do not have to sign up for it? Because if it is not unique, do not expect them to sign up for it. This means you will not be able to collect their contact information.
A law firm lead magnet is an excellent way to highlight your expertise. It can, and should, be in your voice and branded to your firm. And more importantly, it should show how you are the best lawyer to solve their problem.
