In today's Law Firm Marketing: tips for enticing readers in your marketing materials.
US agencies boost satellite use
The US is giving its domestic agencies greater access to images from spy satellites, in a move strongly criticized by civil rights groups. The images will be used to boost national security, disaster response and law enforcement, US officials said. Use of the satellite imagery will be managed by a new office within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Some US agencies already had limited access to the images, but many were restricted to scientific use.
Wikipedia 'shows CIA page edits'
An online tool that claims to reveal the identity of organizations that edit Wikipedia pages has revealed that the CIA was involved in editing entries. Wikipedia Scanner allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers made edits to the page of Iran's president. It also purportedly shows that the Vatican has edited entries about Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams. The tool, developed by US researchers, trawls a list of 5.3m edits and matches them to the net address of the editor.
EU to investigate credit agencies
The European Commission is to review the credit rating industry after suggestions the sector was too slow to warn of the US sub-prime loans crisis. With the weakness in the sub-prime mortgage market sparking fears of a global credit squeeze, Brussels will probe the industry's voluntary code. This code aimed to stop any conflict of interest over the fact credit agencies can be paid by the firms they rule on.
Fed unexpectedly cuts rates to restore markets
The US Federal Reserve has cut its primary discount rate, which is the rate at which it lends money to banks, from 6.25% to 5.75%. The surprise cut is meant to help deal with credit problems which have been destabilizing stock markets.
Lula says Brazil won't be hurt by market turmoil
Lula said on Thursday that he does not think Brazil will be hurt by the turbulence battering global financial markets. He also characterized the market turmoil as an "American crisis caused by people trying to make easy money." He added that Brazil has sufficient foreign reserves to weather the volatility "for now. Brazil's financial markets have taken a pounding in recent days, sinking in line with global markets as fears mount that a credit crunch in the United States may be spreading.
Brazilian protest stirs debate
One month to the day after the crash at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport, in which almost 200 people died, protesters are taking to the streets showing their anger about a range of issues in Brazilian society. Taking as their slogan "Cansei", meaning I am tired or fed up, they will voice their discontent at everything from corruption to the apparently endless ability of those with money in Brazil to evade punishment - known here as "impunidade" or impunity. The protest, which will include a minute's silence, has been organized by the Sao Paulo branch of the Organization of Brazilian Lawyers (OAB-SP), and is backed by several TV personalities and business leaders. The grouping, known broadly as the Civic Movement for the Rights of Brazilians, has to some extent tapped into a mood of anger following July's crash, the worst air disaster in the country's history.

8 sure-fire tips for enticing readers in your marketing materials
by Tom Trush
Because I'm a copywriter, my opinion is likely a little biased, but I truly feel the power of the pen is mightier than the spoken word. When listening to someone, the words we hear are rarely repeated -- unless requested -- and they don’t have the same “staying power” as a phrase permanently placed on a piece of paper. In addition, the written word has the potential of reaching a wide audience; whereas spoken words are limited by the number of people listening to you.
For these reasons, law firms that put a consistent effort toward their writing often see better results with their marketing strategies than others that treat content creation as just another trivial task. When it comes to putting together ideas for creating an effectively written document, there are numerous ways you can increase the likelihood of generating your desired response.
Here are eight sure-fire tips you can use in your legal marketing literature to transform readers from uninterested to enthusiastic.
Enticing Tip #1: Offer something for free. No matter how many times you use it, “free” is the one word that will attract attention, regardless of the type of marketing literature you use it in. So offer your readers something they view as valuable as an incentive for meeting your desired outcome. For example, write a legal report with information on a topic your clients would find useful. Even better, provide some type of information that would solve a common problem your readers can relate to (see tip #4). You can even offer a discount on a future service or a complimentary giveaway that promotes your practice. The bottom line is that you want to make it as easy as possible for your potential clients to collect your free information.
Enticing Tip #2: Make the situation a win-win. Stephen R. Covey summed it up in his best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when he stated, “With a Win/Win solution, all parties feel good about the decision and feel committed to the action plan.” Obviously, you benefit if a reader reacts to your call to action, but what incentives are you offering to encourage this response? Once the emotional basis for hiring your law firm wears off, your client will seek rational reasons for the decision. So reward your reader with reasons that validate using your legal services.
Enticing Tip #3: Stroke the reader’s ego. Who doesn’t enjoy receiving unexpected compliments? This technique is especially effective when trying to attract high-end clients. People feel good when they’re recognized for achieving a special milestone or status. What makes the sensation even greater is when someone unexpectedly recognizes the feat.
Enticing Tip #4: Offer a solution to a problem. Applying this tip involves more focus on your customer and less attention on your legal services. Any successful law firm flourishes because it solves issues clients view as important. Write your text so it focuses not on the magnitude of the problem as determined by society as a whole, but the importance of the issue as decided by an individual. Try visualizing a person’s mindset prior to using your legal services and then write your text so it satisfies that reader’s needs.
Enticing Tip #5: Demonstrate your credibility. Not only do people prefer doing business with attorneys they know, they also want confirmation that the person they’re working with has the capability of doing the job well. Validate your credibility through testimonials or your track record with similar cases – and be specific. If you’re marketing your services, cite detailed examples of how they have benefited others. For best results, demonstrate success with something your target audience relates to. It should go without saying, but always be prepared to back up your statements. (Testimonials are not allowed in some jurisdictions, so make sure you check your rules of professional conduct.)
Enticing Tip #6: Show the value in your legal services. Just about everyone enjoys the feeling of finding a bargain. So demonstrate to readers how your legal services save time or are more beneficial when compared to the competition. Your goal is to provide enough free information so your readers believe they are getting more than originally anticipated.
Enticing Tip #7: Leave the reader guessing. Great writers know the exact statements and questions to ask so readers feel they must contact you to get the answers. This is another area where you want to be specific with your writing. Which of the following titles do you think would attract more interest?
Discover the 7 Mistakes You Must Avoid to Win Your DUI Case
or
Learn How to Fight a DUI
Note: DUI, driving under the influence (of drugs or alcohol)
Most people find the first option more appealing because the statement offers an exact result (winning the DUI case) and causes them to wonder if they have made the same mistakes. Often it’s difficult for readers to ignore their curiosity, so use this to your advantage.
Enticing Tip #8: Stress urgency. The longer you let someone wait to take action, the less likely it'll happen. Encourage immediate action throughout your marketing materials and, if you’re drafting a letter, reiterate to the reader the importance of acting quickly in the postscript (P.S.). You may have to offer some kind of incentive (see tip #1).

Charity rejects US food aid gift
The international aid group, Care, has rejected a donation of $45m from the United States government. Care criticized the way US food aid is distributed, saying it harms local farmers, especially in Africa. It said wheat donated by the US government and distributed by charities introduced low prices that local farmers are unable to compete with.
Venezuela head outlines changes
Chavez has presented his plans for changes to Venezuela's constitution, including an end to the presidential term limits. Current rules mean Chavez is unable to seek re-election and will have to step down when his term ends in 2012. His plans, to be put to a national referendum, also increase presidential control over municipalities and states. Chavez has rejected criticism of the proposals, saying they will bring "new horizons for the new era". Some of the main changes include:
Removing term limits for the presidency, and extending the term of office from six years to seven
Bringing in a maximum six-hour working day
Increasing presidential control over the central bank
Strengthening state economic powers, allowing the government to control assets of private companies before a court grants an expropriation order.
The president set out his plans in a speech to the National Assembly, a body where all seats are held by pro-Chavez parties as a result of an opposition election boycott in 2005.
US voting machine firm 'no sale'
US cash dispenser and security company Diebold has admitted that it has failed to find a buyer for its troubled electronic voting machine business. Diebold and other manufacturers of such voting machines have been hit by criticism that they are unreliable and vulnerable to tampering. Growing unease about the machines in the US has led to a number of delayed orders from states.
US and Israel in $30bn arms deal
US Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns has signed a deal that will provide Israel with $30bn of military aid over the next 10 years. The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has said the aid will preserve his country's military advantage over other countries in the Middle East.
Top US lender 'risks bankruptcy'
Shares in Countrywide Financial, the biggest US mortgage lender, fell 13% on Wednesday on fears that it could face bankruptcy if conditions deteriorate. Merrill Lynch advised its clients to sell shares in the lender. Its analyst Kenneth Bruce wrote: "If liquidations occur in a weak market, then it is possible for Countrywide to go bankrupt." Countrywide suffered growing defaults as rising interest rates made it harder for people to pay their mortgages.
Russia throws out net piracy case
A former owner of Russia's music website Allofmp3.com who sold cut-price downloads of Western music has been acquitted of copyright offences. A court in Moscow ruled that Denis Kvasov and his site had operated within the bounds of Russian law. The site was attracting millions of customers before it was shut in June - under pressure from US music firms.
Russia-China war games send message to US
Russia and China today carried out joint war games after both had warned the US not to interfere in central Asia. Some 6,000 troops and hundred of armored vehicles and fighter jets took part in military maneuvers in the Ural mountains.
Brazil Lawmakers Start Third Corruption Probe of Calheiros
Brazilian senators voted yesterday to start a third probe into allegations of graft by Senate head Renan Calheiros, increasing pressure on him to resign. The Senate's leadership voted unanimously to investigate allegations Calheiros bought a newspaper and radio station, using family members as nominal owners to circumvent a ban on lawmakers controlling media companies. Calheiros is from the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, one of the parties supporting the government in Congress.
U.S. Says ID-Theft Gang Pursued Wealthy Victims
U.S. law-enforcement authorities arrested what they called an online identity-theft gang that they allege sought to steal millions of dollars by targeting wealthy individuals, including Michaels Stores Inc. co-founder Charles Wyly and a member of the Pritzker family. The case underscores how cyber criminals are pursuing deeper pockets, and it highlights a coming of age for cyber criminals: Some who started out with credit-card fraud have progressed to bigger targets like brokerage and mortgage accounts, which have higher limits. It also sheds light on the amount of information that is publicly accessible, even to suspected criminals halfway around the world.
Bush Sides With Business Over Lawsuits
The Bush administration formally weighed in on the side of business in a closely watched Supreme Court case, finalizing the battle lines in a case that has big implications for Wall Street. The administration's position is largely at odds with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which earlier this year took the side of the shareholder plaintiffs. The case centers on whether shareholders can sue to hold third parties accountable for their company's fraud. The case has been the subject of intense lobbying from lawmakers, former SEC officials, Wall Street and the plaintiffs bar. At stake is the scope of securities class-action litigation, which could be significantly widened if the suing shareholders prevail. The case comes as the business lobby has been arguing that shareholder lawsuits are harming U.S. financial markets. Recent Supreme Court decisions, meanwhile, have limited the scope of the plaintiffs bar. In a "friend of the court" brief, the Justice Department said finding for the plaintiffs would "considerably widen the pool of deep-pocketed defendants that could be sued for the misrepresentations of issuers."
UN, Netherlands near agreement to hold Hariri tribunal in The Hague
The government of the Netherlands is close to reaching an agreement with the United Nations to host the ad hoc tribunal that will investigate and try suspects involved in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Bart Rijs said Thursday. Rijs added that Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen would like to see a formal commitment by another state to imprison convicted defendants and settle other issues such as funding.
Palestinian Authority attorney general detained by Hamas
Hamas spokesperson Islam Shahwan said Thursday that Hamas security forces have arrested Palestinian Authority-appointed Attorney General Ahmed al-Mghani after al-Mghani ignored an order of dismissal from the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip . According to Shahwan, al-Mghani entered the office of the attorney general after he was dismissed so that he could destroy documents. The judiciary in the Gaza Strip has refused to cooperate with the Hamas government and ceased functioning under the orders of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas after Hamas violently took over the territory in June.
Senate Democrat to block confirmation of of CIA general counsel nominee
Sen. Ron Wyden Wednesday announced he would indefinitely block the confirmation process of CIA general counsel nominee John Rizzo , saying he had reservations due to Rizzo's failure to object to the controversial 2002 "Bybee Memo" and the continued lack of clear legal guidelines for the CIA's detention and interrogation programs. Rizzo, who has been acting CIA general counsel since August 2004, said he did not have any "specific objections" to the memo during a June hearing before the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence . President Bush nominated Rizzo to oversee the CIA's Office of General Counsel in March 2006. If confirmed, Rizzo will be the first CIA general counsel ever to come up through the ranks.
Kenya journalists protest proposed law to force disclosure of sources
More than 300 Kenyan journalists marched in the capital city of Nairobi Wednesday, voicing their opposition to a provision in a proposed law that would give courts the authority to force journalists to disclose confidential sources. The provision, part of a proposal to establish an independent council to adjudicate complaints against the media, was introduced in the National Assembly just before lawmakers voted to approve the bill earlier this month. The journalists are urging Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki not to sign the bill into law. Kenyan Attorney General Amos Wako has pledged to advise Kibaki not to enact the law.
