Have you ever heard the quote by Napoleon Bonaparte “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”?  Well it fits in your marketing also.

The definition of Media Planning according to Entrepreneur magazine is: The process of establishing the exact media vehicles to be used for advertising.

Deciding what media vehicle to use to grow your firm can be confusing at times and even overwhelming.

That’s why it’s important to put together a media plan for your advertising campaign. The three components of a media plan should be:

1. Defining the problem. Do you know where business is coming from and where potential for more business lies? Do you know which markets offer the greatest opportunity?

2. Turning your marketing requirements into attainable media objectives. Do you want to reach more people or a select group? Television advertising could help you reach either group that you desire.

3. Determining a media solution based on media strategies. There are different schedules that work best depending on what media channel you are going with. Television advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market you’re trying to reach.

When comparing cost and effectiveness of various media, consider this:

How many people do you want to reach?

How many homes do you want to expose your firm to through specific media scheduled over a certain time frame?

How often do you want to reach these people? It takes an average of three or more exposures to an advertising message before people take action.

Is your message making an impact?  If you are putting out a television ad and people aren’t responding, why is that?  Is it too obnoxious?  Too Boring?  Make sure that your message appeals to people’s emotions as well as being visually and audibly appealing.

Frequency is important because it takes a while to build up awareness and break through the consumer’s selection process. People screen everything now and discard those not of interest. Strategy and repetition are key to success in your media buying.

Do you use what you know best in your ads?  What I mean by this, is do you give value to people, and touch them emotionally so they feel that you are the perfect fit to solve their problem?

You want to attract new clients, increase referrals, gain strong customer loyalty and step out as an expert in your field.  That is the key to growing your firm.

To do that in a dignified manner means no loud, obnoxious commercials.  It means a professional base that prospects get when they call in to your office each and every time.

You don’t want to spend your time selling people on you with a hard sell base.  You want them to get to know you and understand how you can help them. Avoid giving people a sales pitch and instead provide them with facts and advice that will show you are a respected authority in your field.

People will be drawn to your knowledge, skill, judgment and experience. They accept your information and advice – and then ask you for help in solving their legal problems.  This is when your efforts have paid off.  They have gotten to know you and the value you provide and they are ready to hire you to solve their most pressing problem.

One of your biggest marketing challenges you will find is identifying qualified prospects.  You need to be clear on who your target audience is and then make sure that your commercial is both dignified and memorable.  Memorable does not require you making a fool of yourself!

Potential clients learning about you will be:

(1) Skeptical and cautious

(2) Busy- which is why they often put their problem on the backburner until it becomes a priority

(3) Confused by all the choices they have and afraid of what they don’t understand

Television advertising is effective for reaching your target market because it covers a significant area.

The key to growth in your firm isn’t a clever slogan or fancy logo… it’s in not demeaning yourself to gain clientele. Both you and your prospects will have much more respect for the dignified you.
