The word ‘niche’ is defined as: “A special area of demand for a
product or service”. ‘Marketing’ is defined as: “The opportunity to
buy or sell”. If you put the two works together, niche marketing
means buying or selling a product or service in a special area of
demand. All that really means is that a product or service is being
sold to the people who are most interested in that particular
product or service and not to the world in general.
Oftentimes big businesses use niche marketing. For example, a
company that makes computers and computer accessories might
advertise all-in-one copy/printer/scanners to the home computer user
while at the same time advertising single function machines to large
businesses.
One of the things that make niche marketing so attractive to sellers
is that their advertising budgets go further. It costs less to
advertise to a specialized market than it does to advertise to a
broader market.
Niche marketing must be designed to meet the unique needs of the
targeted audience. Niche marketers must tailor their product to meet
those unique needs. If, for example, you have designed a product to
make poodle grooming easy enough for the untrained professional to
do it, those who own poodles will be most interested in your
product. Those who own Blood Hounds or cats couldn’t care less. If
you have written an e-book that will explain how to start and
succeed at an online business, those who are looking for that
information are your niche market. Those who are happy doing what
they are doing are not interested at all.
Niche marketing is a very effective and cost efficient way to
advertise and sell specific products or services to a specific
audience or, hopefully, buyers of that product or service.
