Results of a study conducted by eLawMarketing titled “The State of Law Firm Email Marketing: Benchmarks, Trends, and Best Practices”
Most businesses utilize at least some amount of email marketing, making it critical to gauge whether it is actually achieving expected results that makes it cost-effective as a marketing tool.
The definition of success of course will vary by firm and to some extent depend on why email marketing is being used in the first place. Is it to develop new clients or to maintain contact with our existing client base? Is it to broadcast seminars or events or to provide information concerning changes in the law?
