Updated: Jan 12, 2022



Niche marketing is a marketing tactic deployed to target a specific market segment which is unique. Niche market is often created by identifying what a customer wants and this can be done if the company knows what the customer needs and then tries to deliver a better solution to a problem which was not presented by other firms. A niche market does not mean a small market, but it involves specific target audience with a specialized offering. By doing so, the company becomes a market leader and it becomes impossible for other firms to enter that particular segment.

Evaluate the Niche identified

After identifying the Niche for your business you need to evaluate it through help of SWOT (Strength|Weakness|Opportunities|Threats) analysis and ask below questions,

  • Do I have the capability to serve this market?

  • Why is my business suited to serve this market?

  • Will I need to learn a new area?

  • Do I need resources to serve this market & how much will I need to invest?

  • How many people make up this niche market?

  • What are they willing to pay for product like mine?

  • Is customer price-sensitive?

  • What advantages do competitor have?


Continuous evolution is foundation stone to next step


As you have moved to creating unique space, it doesn’t mean you can’t think about expansion or ways to improve what you’re offering. It’s crucial that you do what you do well, but don’t discount the possibilities of opening up your product line or serving new target markets.

However, while it’s a good idea to consider expansion, it’s just as important to think about whether doing so is viable? Can you afford to take a chance on a new product line? What about test marketing an existing product or service to a new demographic? Experimentation can lead to valuable new opportunities, but only do so if you can afford to conduct a thorough evaluation of your new ideas without compromising the quality of your existing products and the standard of your service.
