Money Digest: Niche Marketing Overview

Image via Wikipedia No matter how big a company was and no matter how focused it was towards their desired market, there will still be segments of the population with unmet needs. These small portions of the population have unique needs but because of their size, main stream providers don’t bother to serve them. As a result, members of these groups usually become desperate buyers. They have the capability to buy but there’s no available product for them.

I am an ever loyal fan of cartoon movies. Though far from reality, they convey lessons worthwhile to ponder at. Some of my favorites are the following: 1. Finding Nemo -Learn a lot of lesson about parenthood...being balance regarding the freedom the children should have. 2. Ice Age series - Friends are great assets...no matt
