A niche market is a fraction of a broader market, with a unique set of demands and preferences. So, when your business focuses on a niche market, you aim to cater to a small group of customers with specific tastes.
This means you can provide a product or service overlooked by mainstream providers. By identifying a niche, your business can build brand loyalty in a unique way.
Niche market characteristics can include geography, income, interests and hobbies, price, quality and values.
Considerations for Niche Markets
Target a niche market can improve your profitability. However, it requires personalized attention for a reduced customer base. And because the products or services aimed at this market are likely not mass produced, they may be more expensive. And remember that if you expect your customers to pay more for a unique product, you must be able to assure them of quality, and excellent service.
Communication is therefore crucial. Your customers need to know what products you offer, and how these meet their unique needs. They also need to know why they should trust you to meet these needs.
Below, we’ll cover four niche market examples.
