A Marketing Idea That Cooks
Larry Bodine posts here about a new marketing initiative "cooked up" by Barnes & Thornburg. The firm published a 318-page cookbook entitled "Great Tastes of the Law," composed of recipes from firm lawyers. All proceeds from the $16 book go to charity.
The book is an interesting concept -- and likely sets the firm apart from others. Plus, it's potentially a great conversation piece; a client may notice an interesting recipe that may start an interesting personal conversation with a firm lawyer. On the other hand, the cookbook might also ask law firm attorneys why they spent so much money on a billable expense account lunch charged to clients, when they could have cooked an equally good meal at a fraction of the price.
Has your firm used a somewhat unusual marketing idea? If so, what was it, and what kind of returns did it generate, either monetary or good will?
