(more) These days, with all the glut that comes through the internet, social sites, even personal emails, one must find new and unique concepts to pierce any industry. Though the legal world is far more protective and the least curious about new methods that could be of assistance to their very work. What are you using as your means of trying to "introduce" this new video product. A preview? A promotional spot? A highlight trailer of benefits and strong points? Seems folks today hate to read or review anything that's longer than a sentence. A shame actually as subtlety and nuance has become a thing of the past. Now you have to reign them in immediately. Think like television. Perhaps mini-promo spots (15 secs, 30 secs, and/or 60 secs) introducing your product in a way that tantalizes your market audience. But lawyers are a tough sell. They love collecting those steep, sometimes absurd legal fees, but hate to put out money for new methods, technology, or better ways to approach their work. Anyway, this is what we do as one of our many services as a video production and post-production company. A majority of our work is national commercials, major music videos for television, program specials for HBO, Showtime, PBS, etc., and indie motion pictures. But we also service local clientele as well, from smaller local and regional commercials, promotional spots, PSA's, corporate videos, and business infomercials selling traditional products and new, groundbreaking products. Personally, I am offering my two cents not just based on my experiences in video, film, and music, but also as a former Madison Ave. Creative and Art Director for ten years. Marketing, copywriting, and promoting are in my DNA, even though my world is primarily film, video, TV, and music. That all said, I am, of course, giving generic advice to you without having any idea what it is you are trying to promote to attorneys. Obviously, I can see it is a "video product," but without more specifics, I, or anyone else here in this local group, can give you our specifics as to how you accomplish your mission. This is why there are people and companies that offer such services, as opposed to providing free over the net. Wishing you best of luck. Chip Miller (Desert C.A.M. Studios/Winmill Film & TV Productions)

Rely very little on these kind of services. Strictly in person, word-of-mouth, and personal contacts (not the social site kind), as well as reputation and past credits.
