| The
Niche Market is a shy creature. It hides away,
watching for the opportune moment to leap into
your spotlight when its name is called. Then
it comes running. It's very friendly and loyal
when you get to know it. But treat it like
any other creature or call out the wrong name
and it runs away again into the shadows.
If you think of a supermarket
as the big sell-all-market, then to seek out
a niche market, you walk your trolley along
several aisles to the supermarket's Bakery
Department. There you seek out the Nan bread
packs. If you're buying a red plastic hair
comb you've come to wrong place.
Your journey to the fabled
Red Plastic Hair Comb Niche Market is not pie
in the sky, it's not even in the Bakery Department.
The red plastic hair comb
buyer, bows a head in disappointment and shuffles
from the Bakery Department in search of the
Niche Market, far away in Aisle 4. How could
so much time and effort be wasted seeking out
Nan breads? You can't comb your hair with a
Nan bread.
A Niche Market is a well defined
cluster of individuals with broadly similar
interests, needs and desires who buy specific
items for specific reasons. Don't confuse hair
combs with Nan breads.
Suppose you are selling Nan
breads online. To increase your visitors numbers,
you will need to research the websites where
those individuals interested in eating Nan
bread visit. Get to know this Nan bread eater.
Research the key words and the essential information
that excite Nan bread eaters. |
