Niche Marketing

What is niche marketing?

Niche marketing is a strategy focusing on developing a successful marketing campaign which targets a defined market segment in earnest.

However, niche marketing can have applications for all products and services and all types and sizes of businesses.

While small online retailers may have a limited number of very targeted niche marketing requirements, global brands use multiple niche marketing campaigns to market the same product with a variety of highly tailored campaigns for different market sectors.

Niche marketing can develop organically to meet the demands of niche trends and it can be particularly profitable when developed to exploit new or predicted consumer habits, due to the low competition in the early stages of a growing market.

Niche marketing translates particularly well to internet business models, due to the way the internet works, i.e. it is highly segmented and the fact that consumers search for products and services using specific keyword choices.

Niche marketing can involve:

• Developing products or services for niche audiences.
• Developing internet strategies, including websites, for solely niche marketing purposes.
• Segmenting what you do into niche areas and then creating highly targeted campaigns (pages of a website? email marketing? PPC?) to target that audience share.

Smart internet marketing

Need to know more about niche marketing?

In an ideal world we would like to think the audience waiting to buy our products or services online could just be about anyone with a disposable income.

While that may be the case for truly mass market products, in reality many products have a reasonably defined customer base...

Combinations of age, taste, location, upbringing and many other factors attract certain individuals to a product more than others...

Often it's just common sense about who and where people will want to buy certain things.

That's where niche marketing comes in, niche marketing being a buzzword for what many copywriting, Search Engine Marketing and SEO agencies have been concentrating on in recent years, for good reason...

That's because it makes a lot of sense and it is proven to work, especially online.

Highly targeted marketing for niche market sectors, partly defined by the markets themselves and partly defined by the marketing objectives of the business can make a lot of money if done correctly.

At Overtake SEO the concept of niche marketing is intrinsic to much of our SEO and internet marketing strategy, whether it be social media marketing, SEO site optimisation, copywriting for different business purposes or more direct internet marketing and paid search campaigns.

For us another way of explaining niche marketing is by describing it as customer centric online marketing.

Unfortunately, many companies simply fail to think through their marketing efforts so that their messages do not connect with the market sectors online that promise the best chance of healthy ROI.

It's the concept of trying to achieve too much at once and then nothing truly pays off. By heavily concentrating on one sector at a time, the dividends over a sustained period can be surprisingly effective.

Niche marketing is an idea that once developed properly can be hugely successful in terms of a wider internet marketing strategy, in both Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) marketing terms.
