Niche Marketing Strategy - Why It's Better
| |What is a Niche Marketing Strategy
Developing a niche within your practice is designed to focus on a subset of the market. It focuses on a small group of buyers, rather than the broader market, and seeks to penetrate that market deeper with a customized approach. Of course, anything customized requires a premium price.
Examples of a niche marketing strategy that evolved over time:
- Tesla - they revolutionized the auto industry
- Apple - innovative design
- Cirque du Soleil - different twist on entertainment
- Netflix - streaming entertainment
- Amazon - online book seller
To learn more about why a niche approach is so important, I highly recommend reading (or listening) to Blue Ocean Strategy. It's an amazing book on why you need to differentiate your practice.
Why a Niche Approach is Better
- Commands a higher fee
- Attracts clients from further away
- You retain clients longer in years
- Complementary services are part of it (advisory)
- Life time value of each client is higher
- Generates more referrals
- Marketing becomes easier and more effective
- Your work becomes easier (less complicated with limited scope)
- Easier to scale up your practice (less variety)
- Higher profit margins and hourly fees
- Your practice is worth more
