Vegan cosmetics, 10XL t-shirts, gourmet cat-dog foods, orthopedic products, mountaineering equipment, left-handed-only items… What do you think is the one thing they all have in common? They cater to a small but distinct and characteristic consumer group, namely ‘niche’ consumers. Niche marketing is the concept that defines the promotion, advertising, and communication activities in this field. Let’s look at this idea in more detail. 

Niche marketing refers to strategies that focus on meeting the wants and needs of a specific consumer group. It is aimed at a specific market segment. The fact that it caters to a specific and narrow audience does not imply that it is a small market. After all, rather than marketing a product or service to the general public, it only markets it to the masses who will benefit the most from it. Thanks to pinpoint accuracy, it effectively reaches the intended audience.

Companies in this field can easily become market leaders and attract other businesses to their lane. Furthermore, niche consumers typically have in-depth knowledge of the products and services they intend to purchase. They have a strong attachment to the brand. As a result, the niche marketing strategy, as well as the product, manufacturing, and service processes, must be constantly updated in line with the demands of the target audience.

How is niche marketing carried out?

The trick is that niche markets are not always ready or given; they must be created through clever marketing techniques and determining what the customer wants. It provides a solution that no other company provides. It fills a void that no one else has thought of, ignored, or perhaps never noticed with its product or service.

To do this, the following elements are needed: 

  • You need to know who your ideal customer is and what their preferences are. You should thoroughly research your target market.
  • You must develop one-of-a-kind products and services. What distinguishes you from others? How will you meet a need that is not met by another brand? 
  • You must be specialized in the field you have chosen.
  • You must select the most appropriate marketing platform.
  • Being one-of-a-kind doesn’t always guarantee success. You should always analyze the market and improve yourself and your business prospects.

What are the advantages?

When it comes to niche marketing, one of the first benefits is the lack of or very little competition in the said segment. Because it is the market leader, the brand benefits from a price monopoly. This also entails a high-profit margin. Customers who can only find that service or product under the X brand are willing to pay a little more. It establishes a strong relationship with customers and makes it easier to maintain customer loyalty since it appeals to a specific and special audience.

However, there are drawbacks, such as the narrowness of the demand and the fact that even a single new brand entering the market becomes a partner in this demand, making competition much more difficult. There is also the risk of abrupt changes and a loss of growth opportunities.

What ıs an NFT? How to Make an NFT? How Can NFT be Used for Marketıng?

Perhaps the most well-known abbreviation of the previous year: NFT. ‘Non-fungible tokens’ are gaining popularity in the digital world. They are becoming a more popular way to buy, sell, and invest in digital artworks. So, what exactly is NFT, why is it so important, and how is an NFT created? How can we use NFTs for marketing purposes? Let’s find out the answers to all of our questions…

NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects. It could be a piece of artwork, a video, a photograph, a song, or a tweet. NFTs confirm the uniqueness of these digital assets, demonstrating their authenticity. It establishes ownership of work as if it had been digitally signed. As a result, NFTs have unique identifying codes, and these records are stored in a digital ledger known as the blockchain. Because they are usually encoded with the same underlying software as most cryptos, they cannot be copied or exchanged for another NFT. NFTs are traded online in exchange for cryptocurrency.

So, why would we pay millions of dollars for (let’s say) a photograph that we can view online for free, screenshot, and download? Because an NFT gives the buyer ownership of the original work. It includes built-in authentication and proof of ownership. It grants the work’s basic usage rights.

The significance of NFTs is as follows: they eliminate intellectual property issues by formally establishing who owns a work. They also eliminate the hierarchy of the art gallery, creating an unmediated environment for artists to express themselves while also earning money directly from their works.

How to create an NFT?

The process of creating NFT is called ‘mint’ or ‘minting’. To create an NFT, you should follow a few very simple steps:

  • Register with one of the online marketplaces such as OpenSea, SuperRare, Rarible, and Axie Marketplace. Link your account to a digital wallet to hold NFT as well as any cryptocurrency from the sale.
  • Upload a file containing your digital work (image, video, etc.) to a decentralized storage service, along with descriptions and copyright information.
  • You must mint a token mapped to this file to create a unique encrypted signature on the blockchain. This is the only way to ensure that the file you are uploading is genuine.

Following these steps, your NFT will be listed for sale and auctioned. People who have access to the blockchain and are interested in the work can bid. If an agreement is reached and payment is made in cryptocurrencies, the buyer will be able to access the NFT through his/her digital wallet.

How to use NFTs for marketing?

No brand can afford to ignore digital transformation. The avalanche-growing NFT world is another trend that should not be overlooked. Furthermore, it provides excellent opportunities for brands in the following areas: Reaching the target audience, establishing trustworthy connections, and generating new revenue streams. To summarize everything:

  • Create a one-of-a-kind experience by collaborating with artists, influencers, or content creators. You promote your brand by creating engaging experiences and establishing a communication channel. It increases your visibility and makes you more memorable.
  • You reach out to new audiences who are eager to participate. People will notice you more if you create more NFTs. Reaching out to more potential buyers also increases the likelihood of a sale.
  • You can use NF to give customers personalized gifts, discount coupons, or other benefits. For example, providing a real-world experience to someone who purchases your NFT… As a result, brand awareness and customer loyalty increase.
  • Not just products or services; catchy advertisements, brochures, and product packaging can all be converted into NFT. You can create an NFT series inspired by your product or service.
  • You can build NFT communities, and you can expand your mass communication by being active in various online marketplaces.

Marketing strategies; it’s about embracing new trends, getting involved with popular platforms, and of course, constantly evolving. That is why start with wondering questions like “What is NFT?”, and “How is NFT created?”. Include it in your strategy and do not stay away from the NFT world!

How To Expand Your Brand Abroad? How To Posıtıon Your Brand ın Foreıgn Markets?

How To Expand Your Brand Abroad? How To Posıtıon Your Brand ın Foreıgn Markets?

Crossing borders is an evolution that a brand will eventually want to accomplish, maybe even have to do. Even as it takes the initial move to expand abroad, it recognizes that it will not be able to play ball as it does at home. Numerous factors must be considered during brand positioning, including cultural variations, trading styles, competitive environments, and current market situations.

Brand positioning briefly defines the target group brand X caters to, how it caters to them, and how it distinguishes itself from competitors. So, what strategy should we follow while positioning our brand in foreign markets?

  • Assess your current situation and identify opportunities and risks. You can track what and how major brands are doing to reach out to more customers. Determine who your competitors are and how they position their brands. Compare your position to that of your competitors to determine your uniqueness, benefits, and drawbacks.
  • Conduct thorough research on the best foreign markets to target. Learn about trade terms, tax policy, and legal procedures. Check to see if there are any potential legal issues for you.
  • Thoroughly examine people’s consumption habits and preferences. It is more advantageous to select a nearby foreign market that is open to the type of product you offer in the first place, has a large customer base with sufficient purchasing power, and few competing brands. 
  • Emphasize the product’s or service’s strengths. If necessary, adapt to new circumstances. Understand the elements that will put you ahead of the competition, be consistent with the core brand values, and be closely related to the target audience.
  • Align your products and services with the values of the local community. Packaging, delivery, marketing activities, and advertising language should all be tailored to your target market. Make minor changes, for example, if the name of your brand or product means something offensive, inappropriate, or irrelevant in the target culture.
  • Build local alliances. Collaborate with manufacturers in the target market.
  • Put in place strict controls to ensure that your brand is not abused and that your quality control standards are met.

Selling goods in other countries

You’ll need country-specific e-export sites or global marketplace platforms like Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, and ETSY to sell products in other countries. At this point, you should consider which marketplace is best suited to the product/service you want to sell as well as your working style.

Because of their popularity and ability to attract a large number of customers, international marketplaces are ideal. It is possible to reach a large number of customers, and you do not need to spend a lot of money on advertising or marketing. However, the competition is just as fierce, and the commission rates you offer per sale have an impact on your profit. As a result, many brands prefer to launch their own e-export site.

Micro export is another popular option since it is low-cost, needs fewer taxes, and simplifies sales processes. However, the weight of your products must not exceed 300 kilograms, and the cost must not exceed 15 thousand euros, to be covered under this policy. For these transactions, an electronic commerce customs declaration is necessary.

This leads us to the question of the paperwork required to sell goods internationally. The following are the documents that come to mind first: Documents describing product characteristics and quality standards, customs declarations, supply declarations, certificates (food safety, producer country, plant and animal health, radioactive safety, and so on), production analysis, inspection and expertise documents, insurance documents, and invoices (official, proforma, commercial).
