Marketing Opportunities

Attorneys, by their training, experience and predisposition are more resistant to persuasion than typical business owners. In fact, one legal marketing expert says an advertiser needs to make nine impressions a year to effectively market products and services to attorneys*. Our integrated marketing program is the only one that reaches every attorney in Arizona, providing you with total coverage of this target market. Please consider these following marketing opportunities to help give your advertising plan the frequency and variety it needs to meet your sales goals:

1. Arizona Attorney - The magazine, which is published 11 times a year, is the official journal for the State Bar of Arizona. With a circulation of 19,500+, Arizona Attorney reaches every licensed attorney and judge in the state, as well as more than 100 of the legal administrators and legal marketers at our most successful firms. Our audience includes the owners, partners and managers who make purchasing decisions. Arizona Attorney Media Kit.



2. 2010 Annual Convention – The largest annual legal event in Arizona will be held June 9-11, 2010 at the fabulous Renaissance Hotel and Spa in Glendale. About 1,500 lawyers are expected to attend. Booths are $2,795 each and include a half-page full-color ad in the convention catalog that will be mailed to all 19,500 members. The catalog provides the information and forms members need to register for the convention events. Because the publication also serves as the guidebook that tells attendees when and where their events will be held, the catalog will be retained by the members who attend the convention. Booths go on sale January 2, 2010 and always sell out quickly.
