8 Benefits of Niche Marketing [4 from Scenttrail] | digital marketing strategy | Scoop.it

Read on to find out generalist woes, specialist advantages, and 4 benefits to a defined marketing niche..

Marty Note
This post includes 4 benefits of "Niche Marketing" or focusing your business on a segment or persona group that may have emerged "organically". Here are their 4 benefits:

1. Increased Profits



2. Reduced Marketing Costs



3. Greater Trust and Credibility



4. Reduced Competition

Here are 4 more benefits of finding your niche:


5. Content Marketing Is An Option.


6. Easier To Become An Authority.


7. Winning Hearts & Minds More Likely.

8. Coherent Multi-Channel Possible & Cheaper.

No one can effectively content market to more than about 3 things. The fewer things you want to become an authority on, from Google's perspective, the easier it is to understand you.

Google's "spider" deals in math. If your "math" is consistently about X then you stand a chance of becoming an authority on X. Authority status is earned not created. By narrowing your content marketing to a niche or even a niche of a niche you may WIN where you had no chance of winning further up the food chain.

Today’s marketing demands people love you with the expression of that love being their willingness to use their personal brand in your favor. The trap is the more you want to be loved the less likely you are to be loved,


so narrowing your niche and being true to your expertise, passion and love makes it more likely those values will be returned by customers.

Coherence is an overlooked benefit of narrowing your focus.


Coherence in this crazy multi-channel world is a challenge. Your marketing needs to live on a website, social networks, email marketing and video marketing to name just a few of the “channels” a contemporary business demands. Coherence of message and channel is easier when your narrowcast.

malek's insight:

Coherence is a flashy word.

Let's remember the fact  that for each digital marketing solution you must come with specific data collection JavaScript tag language, then define terms differently as to what constitutes a visitor, a page, an event, a conversion, shopping cart activity, or transactions

No wonder Marty points here to the huge advantage of niche marketing in this coherence dilemma.

Stefano Principato's curator insight, February 13, 2014 5:16 AM

"Companies that try to be "all things to all people" have significantly higher costs, never really establish a strong customer base from which to grow, and often disappear before achieving profitable growth.  If you're like most people, though, it's really hard to walk away from any potential business.  Yet closing the door on some opportunities truly opens far more doors for you in others."
