Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Wins Another Award at Legal Marketing Association's National Conference

Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. (WWR) is pleased to announce that it was the recipient of another national award in the Legal Marketing Association’s Annual Your Honor Awards program.  The firm was presented with the award on March 12, 2010 at the 24th Annual Legal Marketing Association (LMA) conference in Denver, CO.  WWR received this prestigious industry award in recognition of its 2009 Replevin Reminder Direct Mail piece- an informational mailer prepared for one of the Firm’s clients, following earlier award recognitions in 2006 and 2007.

The LMA Your Honor Awards recognizes excellence in legal marketing by promoting projects and programs that provide innovation and return on marketing dollar investment.  This year there were over 200 total entries to the award program and the Replevin Reminder Direct Mail piece won for a submission in a new category, Marketing on a Shoestring.

Peter Winzig, Director of Marketing and Corporate Development, says, “It’s really great my marketing team has the support of our Partners to attend these types of educational and training events, and exciting that our Firm’s efforts were once again nationally recognized for excellence.  In 2009, one of our major replevin accounts moved their operations center to a new state, creating an opportunity for our attorneys to educate, inform and service a whole new client team, many of whom were new to the replevin business.  With the help of our design partner, Dan Fauver of Lakehouse Publishing Company, we created an inexpensive creative keepsake reminder consisting of a toy tow truck personalized with WWR’s logo, packaged in a specially created box with a customized brochure about our services and fees.  The packages were very well received by our clients and instrumental in prompting them to set up face-to-face meetings with WWR lead attorneys to visit and provide group trainings for their staff.  Spurred by the targeted marketing approach, our internal replevin team has since developed a new blog (www.wwrreplevins.com) to continue a dialogue with all our clients and maintain our leadership position in the replevin industry.”
