1-800-HURT-NOW

Personal injury law is a tough legal field to stand out in. The best lawyers in the business can easily be drowned out by a clever competitor marketing campaign, so you need a memorable edge to stay top of mind with potential clients. But even TV, radio and print adverts can fade fast from their mind and prevent prospects from ever getting in touch with you.

Law firms often use a tried and trusted way of naming the practice. Its certainly formal and commanding, as the profession demands, but unfortunately such names can be a disadvantage from a marketing perspective. 'A, B & C' is no more memorable than 'X, Y & Z', regardless of how superior the service of one is over the other. Akron, Ohio-based practice Kisling, Nestico & Redick (KN&R) experienced exactly this challenge, advertising widely but seeing call numbers barely scrape the hundreds every month. They required a hook on which to hang their stellar service. This came in the form of their legal vanity number, 1-800-HURT-NOW.

• Imbued the contact point with a sense of urgency by weaving in the 'NOW' element.
