Question of the Week

We want to hear from you

How do you use social media to market your practice?

Do you maintain social media accounts or have a staffer or vendor do it for you? Do you eschew social media entirely? Answer in the comments.

Read the answers to last week’s question: Do you ever send handwritten notes to professional contacts?

Featured answer:

Posted by Anon: “A few years ago I attended a legal writing training presented by a fairly well-known scholar in the field. On handwritten notes, he shared an observation that immediately rang true, and which I think is apt here (paraphrased, of course): think of the times you’ve received a handwritten card or note in the mail; among a few or maybe several pieces of other mail, it’s always the first thing you open.”
