Marketing Plans for Niche Markets

Marketing a Wood Carving and Turning Business

The task of promoting a wood carving and turning business has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?

We see marketing as the great equalizer, a business discipline capable of dramatically increasing a small company's footprint in the marketplace.

Time and time again, we see ingenuity, hard work, and industry knowledge as the deciding factors for wood carving and turning business profitability.

Bundling

Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most wood carving and turning businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Since the bundling concept is based on discounts, consumers expect to pay less for the bundle than they would if they were to buy the products separately, so you'll need to make sure your bundle offers real value to buyers.

Niche Marketing

A niche marketing approach is a good fit for small businesses, particularly wood carving and turning businesses that need to be profitable in a small slice of the market. By pursuing a niche strategy, you can increase ROI by funneling resources toward the customers who are most likely to buy your products.

Furthermore, niche marketing means tailoring resource acquisitions to the needs of your market segment. For example, top providers can focus mailing lists to the specific requirements of your market niche.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for a wood carving and turning business makes an enormous difference in your company's promotional impact. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.
