Summary

When I first started offering digital services through my design studio, Happily Hedy, I was a generalist and it wasn't sustainable as a business. To solve this, I needed to niche down and figure out who exactly I wanted to target. I broke down my potential customers into segments using demographics, geographics, psychographics, and behavioral attitudes to find the most effective target audience. By focusing on female entrepreneurs, for example, I was able to tailor my messaging and service offerings accordingly and attract more clients who were willing to pay a premium for my services. Nicheing down helped me build authority in my field, speak directly to my ideal customer, get an SEO boost on Google, avoid marketing myopia, and ultimately increase sales.
