Why should law firms invest in video marketing?

For professional industries such as the legal sector, video marketing for lawyers is great to convey messages to the law firm's audience in a way better than no other form of marketing. Video marketing for law firms allow them to communicate trust, services and professionalism through a video in an engaging way. In a video you can summarise you're entire service and walk through potential clients what they need to know about the legal service they are looking for without having to read through hundreds of words of text to find a couple of answers. Video marketing also puts a professional face to legal firms, making the firm more approachable.
