In compendium terms it’s this;

“A niche market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing; thus the market niche outlines the explicit product features targeted at satisfying precise market wishes as well as the price bracket, production quality and the demographics that is planned to impact.”

A Genuine Life Example

In my previous business I used to be a screen printer. I ran a full shop out of my home. Yes. I revealed a full shop with printers and everything. (Never do this) When I started I tried to do a little of everything. I attempted to go broad in my market and ended up working lots of hours for minute rewards. Eventually I was tired of busting my ass for small reward.

I ended up switching my model from trying to print everything under the sun to targeting a really categorical customers that offered a higher reward.

I marketed to custom clothing corporations and brands that wanted a special kind of print that only a few folks were doing. It got me a lot of business, and a lot of repeat business too!
