Every company or small / home business exists for the purpose of providing their product or service to the market place. With this point in mind it is sometimes baffling not to mention amazing that a great deal of businesses do not spend time on market segmentation (or niche marketing and we will use the terms interchangeably) as a regular part of their business strategy planning sessions. Failure to focus on implementations of market segmentation essentially means that the given business may well end up selling their product or service into a section of the market place which is not as good as a fit as it otherwise could have been. To develop your Market Segmentation or Niche Marketing strategy consider the following process steps :-

1. Determine which set of Market Segmentation criteria you will use within your company for a specific product or service. You can segment the population by Age, Race, Earning Capacity, Geographic Location, Skin Colour, Language Abilities, Marital Status and so the list can go on. You need to determine which set of characteristics you will use to determine you target market.
2. Determine if you need to further segment any of the major categories identified above. E.G. you may identify Music Lovers as a segment of the market however, on closer inspection you may find that you need to further segment by classification of music, Jazz, Rock, R&B etc and the list can go on.
3. Consider which section of the population fits with your product or service, E.G. you are selling a sports car with two seats which costs in excess of $60K. Would you spend thousands of dollars sending out leaflets to young mothers with children at school or would you go to college campuses to target postgraduate students ? Of course not but in effect this is what many small businesses do.
4. Look for the group of people within society willing to pay you the maximum amount of money for your product or service.
5. Stand from your company’s point of view the landscape which is called the marketplace, this will help you to determine who your ideal client is.

In summary, there are various components which make up a marketing strategy, niche marketing or market segmentation strategies play a major part in the overall marketing strategy of any organization or small business. Use the process above as a template for your niche marketing planning exercises, this will chang ethe way you approach your business in the future.

Based on your definition of your strategies for …..

• Channel Marketing
• Branding 
• Marketing Segmentation
• Category Marketing

..(see other posts for clarifation of the above if you need to) you should be able to develop an ideal client profile.

Your Ideal Client Profile will tell you the type of person who is most likely to buy from you and with whom you are able to develop a long term relationship. The client profile will show which segment(s) of the market your client falls into along with the category of product that they prefer to purchase from you. Along with this you will understand through which marketing channel they prefer to purchase through from you.

What does your company mean or stand for ? when I ask this question – I don’t mean to you, I mean what does it mean to your current and future or potential customers.

The process of branding means that the spotlight is turned on us as the provider of the product or service whether we are a small or home business. There is a reason why consumers pay multiples of the base cost for water to buy certain brands of water, in terms of beverages consider Coke or Cola and the situation where an individual goes into a bar and asks for a Coke, the bar person replies ‘we only have pepsi and in nine times out of ten the customer nods their head and says ok.

The customer uses Coke as a generic term for any Cola drink. This can be used in contrast to when one goes to the corner store to purchase bread or milk both of which are considered and known as commodity purchases. When building the brand of our companies we must aim to be known as the ‘Coke’ of our industries. When we operate with this mindset this will ensure that the tactics which we work towards daily are based around building our brand to be the best in class in our market category.

Unfortunately the majority of small businesses and home businesses fail to work on this particular component of their business and marketing strategy – hope you find this useful. For more information on business and business strategies visit :- http://www.businessmansencyclopaedia.com/
