Find your niche. Reap the benefits of a vertical market

Are you hearing a lot of buzz about vertical markets?

What’s a vertical market?

Vertical markets focus on a specific industry. A business that offers goods or services to a particular trade, profession or group of customers with specialized needs is a vertical market.

Vertical markets are also called niche markets. Vertical or niche markets meet the needs of a particular industry, such as manufacturing or distribution.

Each market can also be broken into niche verticals. Government has a wide variety of markets, such as candidates and offices.

Now, where exactly does your business fall? It might seem simple. But what if you are in the food and beverage industry and manufacture your own goods and products? This is where it can get complicated.

Benefits of vertical markets

Belonging to a vertical market could be your biggest competitive differentiator. In a tough economy, there are more than likely hundreds of companies just like yours. In belonging to a specific vertical market with a targeted reach, you have the ability to excel in pricing power, brand recognition and a solid client base.

Secondly, make sure to accurately profile the vertical market you belong to. It’s critical to identify the key solution influencers in each vertical industry.
