Your Daily AMR Marketing Tip: Niche Marketing Made Simple!

June 5, 2010 - PRLog -- While niche can mean different things, it is used here to indicate a very specialized market. Retail stores are an excellent example to illustrate what niche marketing is. A large department store can sell thousands of different products in the same building. A corner store only offers a limited number of products, but it is very likely that these items are limited to a special brand or are unique in some aspect. That's exactly how niche marketing works.

Niche marketing is the ideal choice for new internet marketers who don't have a lot of money or are limited in time. A major retail store would cost a lot of money for merchandise and require a ton of effort to be put forth. Niche marketing, on the other hand, offers drastically less costs and a much more manageable workload. These things will help someone who is new to this area.

This is how it works. First, you find out what products are needed and what people need them.  Then you find out where these people tend to congregate. Forums, interest groups and chat rooms all offer people with a specific interest to get together. Posting to these boards by non-members is often allowed. Know the kind of person you are seeking in a customer and it will be easy to find them online.  Join in the board discussions and eventually make a comment about your product and where to find it.

A paid ad on a website that focuses only on the area that your product fits into is another option. Before placing such an add, check out the website and make sure it is a place where you would want your ad.  Is it a reputable site?  Will they offer a good spot for your advertisement?  Is it a site your target audience would actually visit?

When you specialize, you don't have to contact people in all areas, but only those who would be interested in your niche product. Your efforts aren't spread out but can be intensely focused on a specific market.  This enable you to increase sales by being more likely to reach those who are interested in your particular product.
