Whats Your NICHE Market ? III ?
What effect are the baby boomers having on the economy I hear you ask. Folks, in 2005, the economy IS the boomers! Boomers represent the vast majority of the work force. There are 76 million of boomers in the US alone; they ARE the economy. (That is not an exaggeration; that is a statistical reality.) Baby Boomers represent only 28 percent of the US population ? yet they represent 50 percent of the economy. The Baby Boomers are obviously aging and because of this are willing to spend anything to stay young, healthy and full of vitality. So keeping this in mind the NICHE market to take full advantage of (drum roll please) is the Wellness Industry. According to research, the wellness industry is headed for over ONE TRILLION dollars by the year 2010. This wellness movement will surpass the dot com revolution. Paul Zane Pilzer Economic Advisor to two presidential administrations and three-times New York Times best-selling author explains The Wellness Revolution. "The boom in the Wellness Business is ready to explode in a way never before in our history. At over 12 billion dollars in the U.S.A. and Canada this is just the tip of an ever-growing iceberg." Paul goes on to say ? "there's a great window of opportunity for network marketing companies to educate consumers about wellness products and services." "I see great opportunities coming for the network marketing industry because network marketing is clearly the best vehicle we have today, in the United States and around the world, to educate people about new products and services." "I see great opportunities for network marketing and network marketers because they're the fastest way to get the new information out there."(Exerts from An Interview with Paul Zane Pilzer By John David Mann and John Milton Fogg From Network Marketing Lifestyles Magazine Sept. 2001) So to summarise, the seemingly untapped NICHE at this time is the WELLNESS industry and your market are the BABY BOOMERS.

The Top 10 Ways to Market your Business or Professional Practice Without Advertising Every business and professional practice MUST be in the public eye. You need customers! Folks need your goods and services -- it's a mutual alliance for mutual benefit! But if potential clients and customers don't know you exist, or can't find you, you will go bankrupt!

Hello, my name is Lance Winslow and I am the founder of The Car Wash Guys. Before now I have not disclosed my secrets of grass roots market; a strategic plan we used city after city to market our franchised outlets in 23 states. I named the plan Bonzai and Blitz Marketing. Yes, Bonzai is spelled incorrectly. Bonsai is the correct spelling for the plant and to this day I do not know the actual spelling for the Japanese Battle Call, but I do know how to say it and what it means to our team. I have never been a champion speller and I liked the pizzazz in the Bonzai spelling with the "Z" much better. Below is a strategic outline we used in setting up our target markets and then grid'ing the area out and then attacking that market to win customers to what we believe is the best service in the world.

Or, more likely, the layout and the words worked together to create an eye-appealing, memorable message that you're still thinking about today. There?s More to Marketing ROI (return on investment) Than Meets the Eye All too often people look at marketing ROI in terms of response rate: in other words, "I sent out 10,000 pieces of direct mail and only got 39 responses which is terrible."

This sounds like a simple task, but few freight carriers deliver to trade shows. Why don't many carriers ship to trade shows? Anytime you have lots of businesses shipping to the same destination on the same day there will be problems. Every hour the driver must wait in line to unload their delivery will cost the shipper extra money and delay the remaining deliveries in the trailer.
