This past Friday, Richard walked into his local Starbucks and noticed it was much busier than normal. There were people holding early morning business meetings, people deeply involved in work on their computers, and other usual sights. When Richard began overhearing conversations, he realized that the abundance of customers at Starbucks on this particular day was because of a special, reusable cup giveaway that Starbucks doing to promote the upcoming holidays.
You may be wondering, what does this have to do with legal marketing? There is a fundamental connection in what Starbucks was doing and the methods Richard teaches to attorneys for marketing their legal services. He explains this connection and relates it to a real-life representation of a personal injury lawyer’s legal practice in this episode of the Attorney Marketing Profits podcast.
