2. MEMBER NEWS

Marketing Tip: Create a Content Calendar

News and articles submitted to TIAG are posted to the TIAG website, sent through TAGLine, and aggregated on Twitter and LinkedIn. By sending at least one article to TIAG per month, your firm can dramatically increase its visibility in the TIAG and TAGLaw networks and also your rankings on search engines such as Google. You can easily accomplish this by creating a content calendar to share the responsibility of creating the articles or news items and then submit them to TIAG. If you have questions or would like more marketing suggestions, please contact Chris Cervellera at ccervellera@tiagnet.com.
