Estate Planning Marketing FAQs

What makes estate planning marketing unique?

Estate planning requires overcoming procrastination and death anxiety. Educational content builds trust over longer decision cycles (60-90 days typical). Seminars and workshops work exceptionally well. Referrals from financial advisors and CPAs are crucial.

Should I offer free or low-cost wills?

Loss-leader strategies work well for estate planning. Offering simple wills at $500-$750 captures clients who later need trust planning, probate services, or updates. 40% of will clients upgrade to comprehensive planning within 2 years.

How effective are estate planning seminars?

Very effective. In-person seminars convert at 20-30%, webinars at 10-15%. Digital marketing fills seminars cost-effectively. Topics like “Protecting Your Family’s Future” and “Estate Tax Changes” drive attendance. Follow-up is critical.

What’s the typical estate planning marketing budget?

Successful estate planning firms invest $3,000-$6,000/month on digital marketing. Lower than litigation due to longer sales cycles and lower urgency. Focus on education and trust-building over aggressive advertising.

How long until I see estate planning leads?

Estate planning has the longest timeline due to low urgency. First leads typically arrive in 20-25 days. Full optimization takes 4-6 months. Probate leads convert faster due to immediate need. Build email lists for long-term nurturing.
