Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Types of market target approaches

5. Choosing Profitable Niches
Identifying the target market is not an easy task. It is indeed one of the vital elements which
inform you about the market you want to target and how it can bring the maximum benefits to
you and your consumers and prospects. In other words, it will become easy for you to look after
your customer’s needs and wants in a much improved way only if they all are grouped according
to their tastes and desires. There are different types of market that can be targeted. They are
discussed below.
Target Market
This type of market consists of your key customers that have the identical needs and wants.
Although you have not fully described their needs, you still are in a better position as you are
aware of who is your target market. It can be on a larger scale or smaller scale. However, more
than the size is their needs which will play a decisive role in the end.
Secondary Market
This is the market that is linked to your target market; however it is not the segment that earns
you the majority of the revenue. For instance, a company who makes roof, their primary target
market consists of commercial buyers who replace roof. In addition, the same company also has
the secondary market that contains residential segments that repairs roof. Although the majority
of the income is extracted from the primary segment, nevertheless the secondary market does
make a handy contribution to the roof company.
Niche Market
This kind of market consist your would-be or potential customers that have a different need not
satisfied by any company. It is not an easy task to identify your niche market. However, when it
is discovered, it is certain that you will earn a lot of revenue from this market. For instance, a
graphic designer whose main job is to design artwork for the billboard hoardings would benefit a
great deal if he finds a niche of designing an EBook covers.
By incorporating the date of your customers, it will be easy for you to further define the
following markets.
Main Target Market
Incorporating the customer information in your main target market will give you the
confirmation of the identical needs and wants of the customers in this group.

6. Choosing Profitable Niches
Secondary Market
There will always be a secondary market for your product even if you have not identified or
defined properly. However, if it has been identified, it is always better not to pursue the target
market and secondary market at the same time. It results in the expansion of your marketing
activities into the wide areas that may become difficult to monitor and may also result into heavy
losses for your product and eventually the company’s image may go into jeopardy as well.
Niche Market
As discussed with the secondary market, never focus too heavily on the niche market in the early
days of the product launch. However, keep your business updated on the developing niche
markets that may prove profitable at a later stage.

Niche Products
Niche is a term that has been used by the majority of the businesses in recent years. Let us
discuss its actual meaning.
A niche
is not a product of mainstream.
a product that is not easily available in the regular shops of the society.
a product that incorporates an important application and interest to a particular segment of
the society which creates a desire for purchase for that particular segment only.
a product that is assured of dependability and forecasted selling power due to its specialist
attraction to that segment.
It may appear odd to many people but its reality that when discusses and make strategies to find
niche products, they are actually promoting a strategy of “playing safe” or “follow the crowd
strategy. For instance, your business decides to aim a promising established product category,
but for selling purpose, you choose a specific narrow band of products. In addition, you procure
its raw material from the same supplier as your rivals, but you make innovative changes while
marketing this product to your niche that earns you success.
The other method of identifying “niche products” is by getting ahead of your competitors by
discovering a specific demand that is unique and special in the society and is under-supplied. As
soon as the special demand is identified, you can start searching out the supplies that can cater to
this demand. The supplies can be searched in ways not followed by the majority.
8
8. Choosing Profitable Niches
Identifying foreign markets or much localized markets that are ignorant of the regular
products.
In-depth internet search to unearth suppliers who possesses promising products but
ineffective marketing tools.
Exploring new products at various trade shows.
Making close relations with the manufactures to come up with innovative designs,
features and functions for the niche products.
Furthermore, it is also observed that the product you are selling may not be a “niche”, but the
market spot to which you are promoting. In other words, you can shift from “niche product”
strategy to “customer group niche” strategy that enables you to earn revenue from non-niche
products. For instance, markets that are renowned as enthusiasts markets will contain ultra-
specialists products, but there is also a high probability to sell generic products to the same
segment at a much higher price. To be more specific, people who love fishing will normally buy
fishing rods and lines, but they will also be paying attention to non-specialist items that may
consist of drinks, flasks, bags, camping chairs, outdoor clothes etc.
In this way, you can save the customer’s time by placing the related products besides the
specialist items which has a higher chance of consumers willing to pay higher prices. It will be
convenient for the people as it provides the element of “one stop shopping” as exercised in huge
supermarkets. Hence, people with the enthusiast mindset, can be easily targeted with the non-
specialist items at a slightly higher price and can earn you substantial profits.

Niche Product Ideas
"Your wealth is in the wealth of your knowledge. Transform your uncommon wisdom into
uncommon wealth because nobody has your unique experience. Turn your thinking process into
your word processor. Then take your packaged information to the marketplace where your good
ideas make the cash register ring." -Uzo Onukwugha
The task of getting niche product ideas is difficult. However, there are some fresh product ideas
that can provide you a stepping stone to move forward. Hence, you should start by taking into
consideration the obvious which is that every individual is confronted with problems. This is
from where you can get your first product. People are always engaged in one problem or the
other in their lives. Solving their problems will be the successful objective of yours. Hence, what
you need to do is come up with the unique product ideas that can provide relief to their problems.
If the aforementioned task is demanding, then the next idea that you can think of is the latest
trends that have taken center stage in the market place. To update yourself with the latest trends,
you can take the assistance from the internet, television, magazines and newspapers. Once you
become aware of the newest and hottest developments in the market place, you are in a better
position to invent a product that is associated with the existing trend.
Moreover, another idea from which you can create a niche product or products is exploring the
old product/s. All you have to do is catch any old product, analyze its features and performances
and to which segment it is targeted at, and identifies its weaknesses. The next step would be to
come up with the ways though which the old product can be improved, modified or enhanced.
Finally, give it a new brand name along with the novel features and promote it in the market.
Furthermore, there can be another idea whereby you create a niche for your product that is
entirely different from the previous targeted market. The development of this niche requires
experience and a great knowledge of the different brands in the market. When you have a
10
10. Choosing Profitable Niches
separate niche for your product, it will automatically make it easy for you to differentiate your
product from the regular products and would be highly valued in this new segment.
The other idea that can be capitalized is by adding related products to the existing product/s. For
example, if you product is a mobile phone, you can add related items like blue-tooth, headphone
and body covers to it. With innovative packaging, you can experience in sales of your product.
Apart from the major ideas mentioned above, there are ideas that can be looked upon such as
making renovation in a mature product by make changes in its design. Moreover, you can engage
yourself with the consumers in order to know their likes and dislikes and what new features they
desire in a product. This will further give you ideas about your niche products.

Targeting with Niche Products
It is quite obvious that when a company has a product or service to offer, it is very unlikely that
every consumer in the society would purchase that product or service. In the domain of niche
market, your entire marketing efforts are focused on a specific segment in the society. This is the
segment that reflects promising demand for your product. Hence, before targeting that particular
segment of the society, it is always better to implement niche research which will assist you in
exploring the different characteristics of your segment. With this knowledge at hand, you will
find your product in strong selling position.
There are various things that need to be considered while analyzing the niche market. First and
foremost is the identification of the important demographic variables that may include gender,
age, income level, ethnic groups of the market. The next step is to focus on the 3 Ws which are
outlined below:
Who you are marketing your product?
Where are they located?
Why are they considered “very likely” in purchasing your product?
As far as the advertising is concerned, the accumulated information on the market can give you
the right direction and assistance in carving out the strategies for your niche products. If the
products are offered online, it demands thorough research on the keywords that will be used for
the niche goods. It may include words as well as the phrases that will play a vital role in
promoting your niche products. Targeting will niche products would be beneficial in two ways.
First, it will increase the revenue for the firm. Secondly, it can give you the option of being
selective in the advertising program you want to pursue. This becomes easy and achievable when
you are aware of your target segment. In addition, you can also make use of the affiliate
12
12. Choosing Profitable Niches
marketing. With the support of the affiliates, it becomes easy to pull more users to the website.
At the same time, the content on the website has to original and interesting for the users. Apart
from this, you can also implement the interactive approach whereby you use social networking
sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Orkut. These websites enables you to create associations
which have the potential to convert into future customers. Another important platform for the
niche products is the various discussion forums on the internet which can provide you valuable
information on the potential niches and the targeting strategies.
Once the niche market has been identified or the niche products have been developed, it is
imperative to attract them with the medium of advertising. In this way, they will become aware
that you have the product that they are looking for. On top of this, once there is healthy and
strong interaction with the target market, they will know more about you and your niche product.
This will increase your customer base due to the exposure of your niche products in the market
place and in the minds of the targeted niche.

Identifying Your Passion
“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without
winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.”---Anonymous
Passion plays a vital role in the activities we are engaged in our daily lives. The identification
and development of a niche market is heavily related with your passion. It has been said by many
people and experts that instead of finding a niche market with a sole reason to make money
identify the niche that you are most passionate about. This will automatically increase your
chances of success in the long run. There is a very strong logic behind this statement. When you
are passionate for something in your life, it is obvious that you will give the maximum time,
energy and cost to that particular thing. The other daily activities would take the back stage in
your life. Your entire focus and dedication would be on achieving the objective you are very
passionate about.
The same is the case for the niche market. The passion would enable you to devote your
maximum time, energy and cost in identifying and analyzing the important variables that will
lead to the identification of a successful niche market. Similarly, if you are searching niche on
the internet, the passion would force you to make a significant website, generate substantial
traffic of the users and make considerable revenue for your business. In addition, when the
passionate objective is accomplished, it gives you heaps of joy and happiness. On the contrary, if
you do not show interest in the topic you are studying, there is a rare chance that you will arrive
at the desired conclusion. In the case of online niche, you will be unwilling and unenthusiastic to
the work on your website and will devote less than the required time in monitoring and
maintaining the website. If there is considerable passion, then the outcome will match your
expectation.
14
14. Choosing Profitable Niches
One the most significant thing that you should take into consideration during the process of niche
market is your preference and comfort in the subject. It is pretty straight that a person who is an
expert in websites for instance will be fully aware of the ins and outs of the niche market or any
other topic he is engaged in. It is the level of interest and commitment that increases the amount
of creativity shown in the work. Once the interest is there, the task becomes simple and
spontaneous to you. On top of this, it avoids the hindrance of original and innovative ideas and
thoughts. In addition, the task requires regular input and update from your side. This is only
possible if your interest and passion shows consistency in the work. In this way, you are in strong
position to do the task effectively and efficiently.
Therefore, the most important that has been deciphered is the importance of passion behind any
work you do in your life.

Choosing the Niche
The choice of a niche market is dependent on several important factors. These factors are not
given the desired consideration as they play an enormous role in building the success for the
business. Choosing the niche market, by many experts, is considered as a challenge for the
business. Hence, there are no hard and fast rules that need to be followed for identifying the
profitable niche market. It takes a great deal of time, energy and cost in identifying a suitable
niche market for the business. The fact of the matter is that instead of focusing on the customers
who are keen to purchase the products, it is better if you concentrate whether there is a
substantial demand for your product or not. Many of the businesses are devoting their entire
focus on the “golden nuggets” (highly demanded niches with modest competition). However, it
should not be the sole focus for selecting a niche market. There are some important guidelines
that can make a positive contribution in choosing a niche market.
The niche needs to be lucrative
It implies the niche market to be huge enough in term of the people keen to buy products or
services in the niche market. In addition, the profitable niche market should not contain strong
competitive forces. The presence of competitive rivals will eat out the major chunk of your profit
share. Therefore, you need to ensure that the competition is very minimal to make the task easy
for you.

sustain it for longer period of time. The niche requires your perseverance and motivation for it to
be converted into a profitable niche for the future. If the interest is there, your task automatically

come event as your niche market, this niche market will only last for few days. The popularity of
this niche market will soon be the thing of the past. Hence, you need to make sure that the niche
that has been chosen should have the higher growth rate.

Analyzing your Niche Potential
Analyzing the niche potential is very important for the business. The tasks involved in analyzing
it are very demanding and challenging. If the intention of targeting a niche market is derived
from a hobby, then it does considered to be a significant matter. On the contrary, if it has a
business purpose attached to it, then it is incumbent on you not to repeat the mistakes other
businesses have done and eventually became disgruntled and discouraged to carry it on. To avoid
this scenario, it is advisable to follow certain guidelines that can assist you in analyzing the niche
potential.
It is obvious that any product you want to sell in the market has to be appealing to the general
public. To gauge its true potential, the easy and most economical way is to search its
attractiveness on the internet. Make a list of three to five niche ideas and type them in the search
box of Google Trends, Amazin.com or Adwords. The graph will appear that will reflect from the
most popular ideas to the least popular ones. This is just the first step of your process. The next
step is to visit the Google Adwords webpage and type in your niche idea in its search box. There,
you will come across the paid sponsored listings at the top and the bottom of the page. Through
this you will know which niche ideas are being financed by the people giving you more insight
on the niche potential. Last but not least, type the niche idea in to the search box of Amazon.com.
Here, you will locate books on your niche market and niche products, if any, to give a more
refined conclusion on your niche decision.
The next method to determine the niche potential is by matching it with the fad likeliness. This is
the issue that is rarely touched by the businesses. It has a major bearing on the outcome of your
decision. It wants you to be vigilant and guarded, irrespective of the amount of consumers
purchasing your product, that the niche you are targeting is not a fad. For example, in the
business of vitamins and supplements, this retail business has witnessed the introduction of
18
18. Choosing Profitable Niches
supplements such as bee pollen, shark cartilage, deer antler velvet and others in every quarter of
the year. However, their appeal and attraction never lasted long and they were not considered as
popular as Vitamin E and related supplements. Hence, you need to be aware that the niche you
are pursuing does not fall in the fad domain.
Last but certainly not the least is the competition method. There are two thoughts on this method.
One group of people believes that the niche identified is not targeted by any business. In other
words, there has to be zero competition which is very unlikely in today’s world. The other group
of people is of the opinion that the niche market has to be competitive as it will provide you with
substantial profit compared to niche market with zero competition. Hence, the competition map
has to be studied well in order to have a conclusive outcome on the niche potential.

are perceived to buy from you on a regular basis. The questions that you need to ask yourself are
the following:

Will there be related products beside your main niche product for your customers to build
long-lasting and valuable relationship with them?

up with other related products as it is much easy to sell to regular buyer than finding a new one.

Analyzing the Competition in Niche Market
The level and amount of competition is the deciding factor between the success and loss factor of
the niche market. As the niche market is small in nature, it contains one or two products.
However, if the scenario is demanding where you end up more than two niche products; it is very
likely that your niche market may become saturated sooner rather than later.
Taking into account the size of the niche market, it is advisable to determine your comfort level
in order to assist you in confronting the competitors at hand. It is believed by many experts that if
you are passionate to be a salesperson, then the task of dealing with the competitors become easy
and you start enjoying the competition. If it is the other way around, it is better to switch your
business to some other niche market.
The 20th
century has witnessed some incredible niche builders where they made their way
through tough competition. For instance, in 1920s, the Walt Disney Company laid the
foundations of its huge empire on the unknown art of child-like sketches which later came to be
known as cartoons. The business was surrounded by hard-hitting competition environment that
included the Great Depression, the Wall Street Crash and World War 2. It was beyond the
expectations of the experts that the business of cartoons, being considered as silly, would
overcome some of the toughest crises in the world’s history.
Hence, it is advisable to spend a great deal of time in studying and analyzing the competitors
both on the grounds and online. You can start by the most basics questions that are outlined
below.
What types of products are they selling
What range of prices have they adopted for their niche products?
22
22. Choosing Profitable Niches
What are their major and minor strengths and weaknesses?
In what ways can your business compete with rivals?
In the case of your business, you can ask the following questions.
Is the product or service you are selling is new and right for now?
Have you refined the market down to a potential niche that you can cater to and
something that is relevant to 2010?
Although, there is no hard and fast rule, a good rule of thumb states that rather than competing
with your rivals on the same strategy, implement a different and fresh angle that the competitors
are either lacking or you believe you can capitalize on it much better. In this way, you have the
better chance to outclass your competitors.
Last but not the least, try to use personal branding. In the world of today, overcoming the strong
competition (that encircles direct and indirect, local and foreign and online and offline
competitors) involves making a close and personal relation with your targeted or niche
customers. In other words, you have to “own” your product or service in a quite distinguished
manner compared to the sterile environment of yesteryear.
The combination of the above-mentioned strategies will lead your business to success in the long
term.

numbers and statistics related to your product can make a huge difference between a stable
campaign and a shaky campaign.

niche that satisfies an unmet, ignored or overlooked need for which they are more than happy to
pay an extra dollar. Offering a niche product or service is considered to be an important business
skill in recent years which will continue to remain a hot topic for many years to come. History

Successful Niche Marketing Tactics
According to various experts, marketers, and intellectuals there will always be a market for a
product or service you want to sell. There can be variations in the size of the market depending
on the nature of the product and to whom the product or service is targeted. Nevertheless, there
will always be someone who will be willing to purchase what you are offering. Since, it is now
confirmed that there will be consumers for your product, there are some successful niche
marketing strategies that can be adopted. They are outlined below.
Targeted Advertising
The advertising activities, majority of the time, are promoting products for the masses and
are broad in nature. In the case of niche market, there will be advertising but on a much
focused scale. As you aware of the target audience, the advertising has to be direct and
focused in order to have a clear and targeted message for your audience.
Tell the Truth
In marketing products, there is always a temptation to distort facts in order to make the
selling easier. Hence, the features and performances of a product claimed in the
advertisements should be real and not superficial.
Offer Added Perks
There is a lot of money tied in the advertising campaign for a product or service. Many of
the promotional activities do not bring the desired outcome. For instance, if the targeted
segment does not read newspaper, there is no reason to use this medium. Similarly, if the
segment does not redeem coupons (online or offline), there is no point in creating those
coupons. Instead, this money can be used to offer added perks for our loyal consumers.

mandatory to build strong relations with your prospects and customers. Try to work on a
one-to-one basis with each consumer and take this marketing activity as an opportunity to
build trust with them. Every step that is taken in pursuit of niche market has to have a
label of “customer in mind”. The feel has to be more personal as every consumer wants to
be more appreciated for their business. In niche marketing, it is very much possible to
achieve as well.
Follow an on-going Niche Program
There is a common scenario which is very much evident in niche marketing. The scenario
entails a heavy focus on niche marketing either at the start of the niche market business or
in the early stages of product development. However, as there is growth in the business,
the task of niche marketing takes backstage and it remains there until the business
confronts problems. By this time, there is a high probability of losing a large market
share. Hence, to avoid this danger, there has to be ongoing niche program containing to-
do-list in order to have niche marketing goals converted into implementation. This will
not only make your business survive, but enable it to thrive at crises as well.

How Niche Marketing Is Different from General Marketing
There is a wide difference between niche marketing and general marketing. They are outlined
below.
In general marketing, business targets large number of consumers for a product or service
that is economical or cheap in price. By targeting the masses, there will surely a high
volume sales but with lower margin in the profit element as there is very little gap
between the cost of making a product and selling it in the end. On the contrary, in niche
marketing, a business will target a certain group of consumers (specialist consumers)
from whom it can command a high profit margin. This is why small enterprises or
businesses are considered best for the niche marketing.
Niche marketing is always targeted at a segment or market which is smaller in size. This
is where a firm devoted its entire focus and concentration. In addition, the markets that
are targeted by niche marketing are not covered by mainstream providers. On the other
hand, general marketing is related to large segments that provide large revenues in the
end. For instance, if a general marketing strategy has targeted parents, a niche marketing
strategy will be targeted at a specific group of parents such as single parents.
In the case of general marketing, the objective is to attract as many customers as possible.
As the strategy is targeted for masses, consumers of different backgrounds, race, gender
and status are on the general marketing radar. On the contrary, the strategy used in the
niche marketing is to target only a certain group of consumers whose taste and
preferences matches your niche product. As the research has been done beforehand, it is
32
32. Choosing Profitable Niches
very unlikely that the other segments of the population will be attracted to your offer.
Hence, they are not targeted.
General marketing make use of expensive forms of media to target the consumers. It
includes spending on above the line media that includes television, print, radio and
internet and below the media such as hoardings and billboards. These forms are very
expensive. On the contrary, in niche marketing, the allocated budget is small compared to
budget in general marketing. It does not have the capacity to support the needs and wants
of the mainstream. As a result, the media which has been extensively used in niche
marketing is internet (emails) due to its economical cost. Apart from internet, niche
marketing also uses magazines to a certain extent which may include trade journals.
In general marketing, people in masses are being targeted. As a result, the intended
message also reaches people who have no interest in the products or services that are
being offered by your business. Hence, the conversion rate is quite low. Money is wasted
in large quantity along with the wastage of time. Art contrast, in niche marketing the
message is targeted for only those who are interested. Thus, there is less wastage of
money, time and effort in niche marketing campaign.

Testing Your Niche Market
Testing a niche market or niche product is very crucial. If you are offering a particular product or
service, there will always be a consideration for knowing in advance how many units will be sold
after the launch. Therefore, to check out this forecast, one effective method entails test
marketing. Majority of the businesses weigh this option as time-wasting and costly. The lack of
preparation leads to the downfall of a wonderful idea. Hence, to avoid such scenario, you can
conduct test marketing in a less costly manner and at times for free.
One way of doing it is by making a questionnaire and handing them out personally to potential
customers in order to avail feedback on your niche product. This can be done by mail, on
telephone or distributing them in places such as shopping malls, parking lots, restaurants and
various other related places.
The other thing that can be done is getting a firm hold on the existing market research. This
research contains secondary data on your product conducted by other parties, firms and
businesses which can assist you on the various aspects for your niche product. The information
can be extracted from Internet, library or chamber of commerce (contains case studies).
Another option that can be availed for testing your niche product is by taking feedback from the
local banks that provide loans to various businesses. The feedback may relate to the
performances of the businesses that are operating in the similar products as yours. In addition,
trade associations can also be contacted to provide you with the market studies which are
normally obtained for free of charge. It can further give you an overview of the market and the
products that are patrolling the market.
Apart from it, you can determine the customer’s interest in your product or service by putting a
test advertisement in a local newspaper. It is recommended not to put information that proves
untrue later such as offering a product at a certain date. If you have decided to give out samples
in response to the advertisement you put up, make sure customers avail them. If somehow, you
36
36. Choosing Profitable Niches
fail to satisfy all customers, it is better to store their information (name, address and phone
number) which will help you in building their database that can prove fruitful in later stages such
as at the launching ceremony.
After all the testing options, if the result persuades you to move ahead with your niche product,
the next task is to refine your business concept in order to have a clear-cut niche market and the
unique selling proposition. This will include the following questions
What will be my offer?
How is it different from the existing competitors?
Which group of consumers falls in my target market?
How will I monetize the idea?
How I plan to grow my business over time?
Thus, it is advisable not to overlook the option of testing your niche. Success takes time and
planning in order to give you a strong foundation.

Advantages of a Niche Market
Niche market is a boon for a firm or business if identified and capitalized properly with
substantial research. At the same time, it also considered risky as it is dependent on a very small
target market and promotes very focused and limited products and services. Keeping in both the
scenarios, it can be said with ease that many firms and businesses consider niche to be profitable
marketing strategy. As a matter of fact, big companies who rarely exploit the niche markets are
engaging heavily in the exploitation of the niche markets in recent years. There are several
factors or advantages that compel firms to make use of the niche markets.
Low Competition
Niche market focus on a specialized market whereby a seller tailors a limited variety of
products that are offered to a particular segment in a society. Since, these tailored
products are not being offered by any existing firm, the seller enjoys the freedom of less
or zero competition. For instance, if a product is car that runs on water or hydrogen rather
than the conventional fuels like oil, gas and diesel, it instantly make your product very
specific and unique. Simultaneously, the product emerges as the important contender to
the large car manufacturers and due to this you can manage to take away a healthy
segment of the society without any pressure from the big companies.
Low Start-up Costs
As the niche products or services offered by the business are limited, the start-up costs are
low compared to the general products. This is considered to be one of the huge
advantages for the niche firms. The need to spend heavily on a product or service is
greatly reduced as your entire focus is on the niche product. In this way, there is better
allocation of funds especially in the specialization process. In reply to the large
38
38. Choosing Profitable Niches
assortment of products offered by big companies, niche firms devote their attention and
finance in gaining customers and cementing their presence in the market. Moreover, it
prevents the need to find solution for all the problems. Rather, it enables you to focus on
one product and put your entire efforts in enhancing the characteristics of that product or
service.
Customer Selection and Satisfaction
In niche marketing, the products or services offered are undoubtedly limited. However,
the niche product or service has the specialized nature that plays a major role in raising
the chances of customer satisfaction and retention. As customers who are on a lookout for
these kinds of niche products, after availing them, there is very little chance of any
encounter between them and the company. Even if there is any hint of disagreement, it is
instantly resolved. In this way, it not only increases efficiency by removing unsatisfied
customers, but it also builds customer’s confidence, trust and eventually loyalty. In other
words, it can also be said that niche business depends more on customer’s loyalty than the
quantity of the customers.

reaching them through the channels that characterize their interests and desires. The
problem is many firms and businesses make error during this process. Instead of targeting
to a specific segment, they end up targeting a large generalist audience. As a result, these
firms find fierce competition than expected and are thus obliged to exit from the market.
Moreover, they also learn that the marketing activities they have implemented resulted in
deplorable feedback from the audience as the audience is untargeted. Therefore, it is
advisable to target only those who are appropriate for your niche product.
Ignoring the beta testing stage
Majority of the niche firms, due to their inexperience, overlook the phase where they are
required to distribute product’s beta version. They are in not in favor of the proposition of
giving away their products for free or even if they are getting something in return. They
miss the opportunity to avail early response from the audience which may point out
elements in a product or service that might need dire changes. Beta testing stage carries
huge significance in the development of a niche strategy for a long term. Thus, it is better
to listen to them in this phase to avoid hiccups in the future.

in matching their product’s benefits with the consumer’s desire. In the process of
marketing, they claim several benefits and when the product is acquired it fails to deliver
those benefits to the customers. Hence, it is essential to identify the audience’s interest
first and then making the product accordingly.

The task required in niche marketing is to identify a segment that contains a group of
consumers of identical tastes and preferences. However, when marketing a niche product,
you realized that the demand is greater than the supply. It means you have underestimated
the size of the target audience. It may builds up frustration in the audience who may get
into the negative word of mouth publicity for the company. Hence, it is always better to
take conduct a thorough research than making hasty entry into the market.
Malmonetizing given niche market
In various scenarios, firms do get successful in getting an expected share of the niche
market. However, they fail to monetize it properly and end up losing a substantial sum of
money. Therefore, it is required to use the different combination of the monetization
