17 Sample Happy Birthday Messages From Law Firms

Staying in touch with current and former clients is a great way to increase word of mouth marketing for your law firm. Though I am sure you are most interested in the actual sample messages (to skip to the sample messages, click here), we want you to take away something a little more valuable.Right now, you are building relationships by sending “happy birthday” messages for your clients. You should feel proud of yourself because a simple birthday marketing campaign is a lot more than most law firms do.More than likely, you are doing an email campaign because it is the easiest and the cheapest. However, you should be working toward a print mailer, since it will make a more significant impression on your current and former clients. The very best law firms (the small law firms making the most money) are going even further by sending out gift packages.

Don’t worry if you are not at this level yet. We recommend that attorneys start from where they are at and build from there. However, if this is your 2nd or 3rd year of sending out happy birthday messages via email, it is time to scale up.

You should expand your holiday cards or birthday marketing beyond email because emails don’t typically give your law firm a lot of value. Most people are overburdened with emails. On average, a person receives 121 emails per day. By contrast, a US citizen will receive 1.3 letters per day (153 billion pieces of mail processed and delivered to 323 million Americans, which averages at about 1.3 pieces of mail received per day per person.)

It is easy to see why a mailer will create more value for your practice. A mailed birthday card will:

  1. Show current and former clients that you care
  2. Keep your law firm name fresh in their minds
  3. Physically place your law firm brand in their homes

You cannot achieve these same goals through an emailed birthday message.

Your law firm should show up differently than other law firms, and sending out an email is the bare minimum you can do for marketing. Think of how you treat your friends and family. Hopefully, you are doing more than just sending them an email on their birthday. Most of you are calling your friends and family, mailing them cards or gift baskets, and taking them out to dinner.

Treating your clients as friends or family will undoubtedly make your law firm stand out. I doubt you would take your former clients to dinner, but you do want them to feel connected with your law firm so the next time they have a case, or know someone who has a case, they will recommend you before any other attorney.

Without further ado, here are the 17 sample messages for happy birthday cards from attorneys:

  • “Thinking of you on this very important day!”
  • “We know you are getting a lot of well-wishers today, but we wanted to send you this personal note to say Happy Birthday.”
  • “May this year be the most joyous yet.”
  • “We hope this day will be filled with celebration and happiness.”
  • “As an attorney, I don’t always get to send the nicest of things, so it brings me joy to send you this message on your special day. Happy Birthday from your law firm.”
  • “May you achieve all your goals in the year to come.”
  • “Make this birthday the most memorable yet!”
  • “…And many more! Happy Birthday from [YOUR LAW FIRM]”
  • “While we know you are no longer a client, we want to wish you on a happy birthday on this special day.”
  • “I hope your birthday this year is as fun as it used to be when you were a kid.”
  • “From our family to you, Happy Birthday!”
  • “We hope your birthday is as sweet as the cake you will eat. Happy Birthday.”
  • “A very happy birthday for one of our favorite clients.”
  • “I hope we are one message among many. From your law firm, Happy Birthday.”
  • “We are honored to have been part of your life. Happy Birthday from your law firm.”
  • “This is the best message I will write today. Happy Birthday!”
  • “I hope you are having a wonderful time on your special day.”

Starting over can be scary, but it can also be exciting, revitalizing, and motivating. That’s why many people daydream about what they would do if they could “start over.”

In fact, that’s one of the (few) things I enjoyed about golf! You start from zero at each hole and have a fresh opportunity to excel.

This was my mindset when I wrote the report, 10-Step Program for Marketing Success. I set out to answer the question, “what are the steps I would take if I were rebuilding my practice from the ground up.

Most attorneys start their firms assuming that being a really, really good attorney should, in and of itself, be a marketing advantage. Those attorneys believe that joining a whole bunch of committees and putting their name in lawyer directories is “marketing,” and they never bother to ask if there is a better way.

Attorneys are catching on, however, and those who succeed learn to leverage their current resources to create effective (and ethical) marketing. What they discover isn’t a magic pill or silver bullet but a different approach to marketing that your competitors haven’t considered.
