Niche Marketing    Glenda Ervin, the vice president of marketing for Lehman’s once said, “The secret to a successful niche business is realizing that it isn’t about you. It is about the customer.” To paraphrase this is for any niche marketing to become successful they must meet the needs of their customers. They must solve problems.

 

Niche marketing in this above description would mean to be marketing to a highly selected group of people that have a high potential to connect with the product or service being offered.

 

 

If your business has a product that will satisfy a need or solve a problem for a customer, then your business will have a better chance of achieving success of r the long term.
