Tuesday, February 21, 2012
for an evening with
Geoffrey A. Frost
Director of Client Development

Who will Present
Marketing a Difficult Product or Service
Lessons Learned
in Marketing a Product Most Consumers Don’t Want to Buy
|
Think about trying to market a product or service that:
• Most consumers hope they never need;
• Most consumers do not understand how to evaluate the
quality and differentiate;
• Carries many negative connotations in popular culture; and
• Can be incredibly expensive.
These and several other hurdles are the challenges that the
high-stakes business litigation law firm Bondurant Mixson &
Elmore faces when attempting to develop new business.
This presentation will outline some of the strategies and
tactics the firm uses in marketing its services and
developing new clients. It will leave attendees with the
understanding that if you can market high-stakes business
litigation, you can market anything using the same
practices.
