Practice Management: An Overview of Online Marketing Trends in Financial Planning

Product not yet rated

Recorded On: 10/04/2022

Today’s consumers increasingly begin… and end… their search for a financial advisor online.  This fact has led to a rippling set of changes affecting our industry: 

Millennials and Generation X members, the prospective clients of many advisors, are set to inherent $35 trillion in wealth from their Baby Boomer parents. However they are unlikely to simply use their parent’s advisor. Nor are they likely to use the geographically nearest financial planner. Many are comfortable working with a professional via email and virtual meetings. 

The SEC has recognized this trend and overhauled their marketing rules for the first time since the 1940s. Now, advisors are able to communicate online more freely. They can join digital platforms where they can compete on price, specialization or both. 

Should you buy leads from SmartAsset? Pay Zoe Financial’s annual fee? Pay an AUM fee to Schwab in perpetuity? Or apply for Harness Wealth’s exclusive service?
