For the majority of the UK, having children is a key driver for making a will

According to the YouGov Wills and Probate Report 2016, having a child or children is the key life event to prompt consumers to make a will.

A change in health circumstances is cited as the next most important reason.

Consumers continue to favour solicitors and law firms when choosing to make a will (63%), with 15% choosing a specialist will writer and 12% choosing to write the will themselves.

So, as a provider of will writing and estate planning services, how can you maximise this knowledge to your advantage and generate interest from this key target group?

  • Review your website in terms of the photos you use, messages you give and factual information you provide – i.e. is it of interest to those people you want to target and compelling enough to prompt them to contact you?
  • Take a look at the testimonials on your website, and on Google – have you a good balance of different reviews from different sections of consumers and what they wanted to achieve by making a will?
  • Review which networking events you attend – have you contacted mother and toddler groups, and other places parents attend for instance?
  • Review what material, handouts and marketing collateral you take to networking events – does it spell out how parents can protect and provide for their offspring?
  • Make sure you aren’t using legal jargon and that anything you provide is written in plain English and consumer-friendly.
  • If you are a parent yourself, talk about why you entered the will writing business, why you felt it was important to protect your children – present yourself as a real person in their shoes.

Editor Assist is a subscription-based editorial package for solicitors, will writers and estate planners. A couple of our most well-read articles have been “What happens if the worse happens….” and “Duties of a Dad”, both of which focused on the importance of parents making a will.

How content can help your business grow. Content marketing is an invaluable tool when it comes to growing your business. If the content you produce is helpful and informative you will be viewed as a credible and authoritative source on your area of expertise. It also plays a key role to drive genuine trust and quality leads. However, writing good quality and engaging content can be rather time consuming. One of the main challenges we hear is that firms are just too busy in their day to day roles, to invest time in focusing on writing content for their business, especially when this time can be better spent with a client.
