Niche Marketing

Many entrepreneurs think that selling to the widest possible market is the likeliest path to success. They are afraid to pursue a market niche because they fear they'll lose business by turning away customers. But this 'take all comers' approach is not very effective. It's hard to stand out when you market your business without a distinctive set of prospects in mind.Occupying a niche means you won't be competing with a lot of similar businesses solely on price. And because you will be selling products and services that are customized to the specific needs and predispositions of a select group of people, you can often charge more. Your products and services serve a market that can't easily find alternatives.The process starts with market research: analyze your best potential customers, your competitors, your market's predisposition toward your products and services, and your ability to serve these people so well as to make you their vendor of choice.Market research is like sticking your toe into a lake before jumping in. If you figure out exactly which group of people you want to reach, and what their needs are, you avoid wasting time and money. Once you know, you can alter your product or services to fit the needs of your target market more closely, and you can craft a message that reflects your business and your customer.Market research does not require expensive consultants, surveys or focus groups-- it can be as simple as asking your best customers the right questions. To determine if a particular niche is right for you, ask yourself these questions:* Do I have an identifiable target population with similar interests and needs?* Is the market large enough to support my business?* Can I tailor my products, services, and business identity to address that market's particular needs?* Is my target market currently underserved?* Can I reach my potential customers in a cost-effective manner? Your niche will give your marketing efforts a natural, sharp focus. The more you specialize, the more your market will see the value of your services because you speak directly to their unique situation. Assuming your niche is large enough, you can do quite well by becoming a provider of products and services that can't be found anywhere else.Larry Klein discovered his target market from the inside. A successful financial advisor, he retired from his primary job and became a marketing guru to other financial professionals. He knew they needed marketing help, but as he talked to them and worked with them, he discovered that what they wanted most were ways to reach seniors.Klein explains, "I'm not 60. So, you don't have to be a member of your ideal marketplace. But if you talk to enough people in that market group, you're going to get it. You have to be awake and aware and be listening for what it is."All the information you need to target and succeed in an ideal marketplace is out there waiting to be found," says Klein. "You can take the guesswork out of building a business."Having talked to enough seniors to understand their needs, Klein refined a series of methods for approaching them with investment opportunities. Now he offers seminars and writes articles about these strategies and has defined himself as a specialist in this area. You and I may not have heard of him, but within his targeted sector of the financial planning community, Klein is slightly famous.

Internet Marketing, Thinking Outside The Box For Profits!

Internet marketers can sometimes put themselves in a box mentality. This limits them to using normal online marketing techniques. But marketing is marketing, sure the technical aspects like html, domain names, auto responders, etc, are completely different, but the internet is just a delivery medium for your business. People are people with the same emotions, needs and wants, both online and offline.
Dan Kennedy has stated that the most dangerous number in marketing is one. That is if you are just reliant on one marketing medium source like the internet, you may be in trouble. What happens if your CPC (Cost per click) rises dramatically or a campaign gets shut down? Enough with the scare tactics, all I am saying is, what else, or how else can you communicate to the masses?
If you sold sporting equipment online or a sports related e-book, could you put flyers on car windows (Hire a kid to do it.) at a sporting match and get a R.O.I. (Return on investment) If there are two hundred cars in the car park, could any be potential customers? Could you talk to a coach about how your products help the sports team? Is sponsoring an option?
I have seen a small sticker placed underneath the McDonalds drive through window. It just had a powerful headline that caught your attention and the web address. It was placed at eye level for customers in the car, waiting for their order. Now depending on your target market it may not be too targeted. However, if your product is for the person who gets take away food like busy moms or dads, young tradesman, etc. The sticker would probably get removed in a few days, but how much traffic would literally see your sticker? This is a bit sneaky and not recommended, but it is an example of thinking outside the box.
I have also seen a business owner go to his local book store and place business cards in books and magazines, relating to his niche. Now limited in physical numbers agreed and shifty, but could be very highly targeted prospects. Can you get a R.O.I. if you tried postcard marketing? What about a placing a classified ad in the newspaper? How about putting a flyer on the local community board? Putting an advertisement in the neighborhood watch or school newsletter, would that work? If you do article marketing on the net, could you send articles to a physical magazine? I have seen plenty of gurus do this and it is almost automatically given the author expert status with the readers.
If you sell a pet related e-book, like dog training, could you contact the pet store owner and give away a shorter version of your e-book or report like, "Seven crucial points you should know about training your dog!" with every bag of dog food sold? This could be a great lead generation method for your site. In return for the pet store owner, you could make a recommendation in your e-book about his pet shop. To take this one step further on a bigger scale, could you contact the dog food manufacturer and work out a deal?
A yoga teacher offered a shorter version of her yoga video to the newspaper for free to give out with the paper. A deal was worked out for the printing costs. The newspaper sold more papers because it was giving away a free DVD, and the yoga teacher gained instant guru status and clients. Not to mention the thousands of new visitors to her website looking for the complete DVD and other yoga accessories.
Sure some tactics won't give you the numbers, or are too time consuming to use, but the point of the article is to think outside the box. What offline marketing method can you mix with online for maximum results?

Why Submit Articles To Articlesbase Directory

Article marketing is one of the most important internet marketing strategy that can determine the success and failure of an online business.
There are many ways to carry out article marketing and one of the ways is to submit articles to articles directories with one or more links included in the articles submitted. The link when crafted properly will interest readers of the articles where they will click on the link and be directed to the author's website bringing traffic to the website.
Getting traffic from the readers of article directories is not the only reason why internet marketers or authors submit their articles to article directories. In the online world where content is the very key for any website success, many website owners find it difficult to keep writing fresh contents for their websites to keep readers interested. Hence these website owners usually come to article directories to find suitable article content to republish these contents to their websites.
With such activity going on in the world wide web, articles submitted to article directories, when written well, can most likely be picked up by website owners for republishing which will spread virally and distributed to many related websites all over the internet.
By doing so, the author of the articles not only benefit from increase traffic to his/her website but the benefit search engine optimization in the increase in the number of links to the author's website spread together with the articles.
Recently, with the increasing demand to allow website owners get articles automatically fed to their websites several automatic blogging scripts and article marketing automation service have evolved in the market. These type of scripts and service has become increasingly popular as it makes updating websites with content much easier. One such script is known as Automatic Blog which pulls articles from ArticlesBase article directory automatically to the blogs of script users.
With the increasing demand of Automatic Blog script, it has also become increasingly important to submit articles to ArticlesBase directory. This is because, articles submitted to ArticlesBase do not have to wait to be chosen by website owners but will automatically be fed to blogs and spread much faster.
Furthermore, submitting articles to ArticlesBase is free, all you need to do is set up a free account, write a good article for the editors to review and you are all set to spread your articles automatically.
