For individuals or smaller companies looking to make a name for themselves on the internet, niche marketing presents itself as the most efficient way to do it. There may be slightly easier methods, and there may be more guaranteed ways of doing it, but niche marketing is the only type of marketing that provides the opportunity to gain monetary profit for little to no cost at the beginning and also provides you with a venue in which to work that is both fun, and engaging to you, the creator.
Niche marketing is the process of providing information, other types of content, products, or services to an audience with a specific vested interest in what you are providing. The more mass appeal that a product or the content has, the more likely it is that a thousand sites will bury your new site in the Google search results list.
And having your site buried under a thousand others is a virtual guarantee that you will get no hits from outside sources that you didn’t directly advertise to yourself. The good news with niche marketing is that you can make the nice something so specific that it hasn’t been done before. You can be the number one online source for all things related to your niche, all you have to do is come up with the idea.
This is where all of the fun comes in and this is what makes niche marketing so special. You can take one of your own very specific interests, create a site for it, and express your real values and opinions, market your actual creations through that online venue at your own leisure, all while making money doing it.
What money you make from doing online niche marketing will obviously not be enough to let you quit your day job. This is what mass marketing is for, but with the right tools you will have the competitive edge that you need in order to make your site a real breadwinner for you.
There are lots of smaller tips about niche marketing that are too technical or mysterious for many to understand, and a quick video tutorial is sometimes all it takes to make a difference in personal education. Once you know all the tricks of the trade, you stand to be able to get more hits and make more money off of your niche page, all while having fun expressing your own interests at the same time.
When a young man or lady turns 21, they want to remember it. Often they will organise a party for all their friends at a pub venue or even at home. It has many differences from an 18th birthday party as often 21 year olds will have been to university, made new friends and realised that actually adulthood did not start at 18, it starts now along with their big step away from academic study and into the real world. 21 does not herald much change in terms of the law where we live but it does mean that he or she is now legally old enough to order a drink in the United States. If they have a car it means that the cost of insurance will lower too.
If you have been invited to share in the birthday celebrations of a 21 year old then you of course need to be armed with suitable gifts for him or her. Many people shove twenty one euro or pounds into a birthday card and although money may be well received it doesn’t tend to be a lasting gift that the recipient can treasure forever.
All celebrations should be marked with champagne so why not get them a bottle of personalised champagne? This beautiful gift comes with a label which can be printed with his or her name and a message of your choice. There is pink champagne available for the ladies and these bottles can be accompanied with fabulous matching champagne flutes. The flutes can be engraved with their name or date of birth making them gifts that will last forever.
Another fantastic gift idea for any 21 year old is the gift of a breathalyser key ring. This clever little device can read a person’s blood alcohol level with just an exhalation and will indicate by way of a red or green light whether he or she is over or below the legal limit to drive. This gadget also doubles as a handy torch too so it’s a win-win present all round.
Another beautiful personalised gift is the gift of a silver plated photo frame. You can have it engraved with a personal message and they can insert a photo of their choice, perhaps even one of their 21st birthday party to remember their special day.
If you want to give them a truly unique gift that will trumps all other guests and their gifts, consider buying them their own star. Yes, believe it or not you can actually register a star in your recipient’s name and they will receive a certificate of ownership and a chart mapping the exact co-ordinates of the star so that he or she can easily locate it on a clear night. Of course a telescope will be required but you could always throw one in and even have it engraved with a special greeting.
When invited to a house warming party, it is polite to show up with a gift. Choosing an appropriate gift can be difficult if you don’t know the host’s tastes. In this case, it might be wise to go some for practical related gifts such as kitchenware. Some hosts will tell you not to bother but it’s still the thing to do. Here are some house warming gift ideas.
Offer food and drink items
Remember that at the house warming party there will be a number of people and bringing in some food or drink items will never be a bad idea. A good example is a fruit basket of the most popular fruits or after dinner chocolates. A bottle of wine is also a customary present.
Interior decor
These are some of the most popular gifts offered at a house warming party. This could be anything that will make a room look warmer and improve the overall décor. However, you also need to know the homeowners personal style and bring in something you are sure they will appreciate.
Craft gifts
One notable characteristic in crafts is that they are homely. These can be hand woven runners or handcrafted baskets. A person who is environmental conscious will appreciate this greatly. You can also bring hand crafted seat pillows in cross-stitch or other designs that give a personal touch.
Scented candles
When choosing candles, choose a scent that will add comfort and make the atmosphere soothing or relaxing. This will make a great gift for the days when the home owner wants o have a candle lit dinner, or to relax in the bathtub with scented candles burning around.
Gardening tools
If the homeowner has a garden for the first time, you can buy gifts that will help them maintain the garden like gardening gloves, gardening books, garden hose, conversely, avoid buying seeds and plants unless you are sure that they would appreciate particular plants.
A tool kit
A toolbox is a great gift for young women and men who are starting out on their own for the first time. Get a gift basket with very basic tools like a set of screwdrivers; a hammer, picture hooks, glue, pliers and others that you find necessary for a first time homeowner. Actually, many young people will hardly think of such tools until they need them.
Gift Vouchers
When many people begin out on their own for the first time, they will want to buy furnishings for the home themselves. Hence, you can give them a gift voucher to a hardware store where they can pick out what they want or what they really need.
Many people go crazy on Christmas holiday shopping making mistakes that hurt them in the pocket. Going crazy and spending a bucketful of money might impress people, but there’s life after Christmas and you don’t want to be left with a post Christmas hangover. Here are a few guidelines on how much you should spend on Christmas presents.
Do not go beyond your budget
Before you begin buying the gifts, you need to have a list and have determined how much you want to spend on each gift. Some gifts may cost more depending on whom they are going to, but the point is predetermining how much you want to spend on each. You also need to accompany each gift with a card, and the best way to save on Christmas cards is to buy in bulk, and if planning a party, make this a part of the budget.
Avoid using credit if possible
One common mistake that people make is putting all the Christmas expenditure on the credit card. Doing this could land you with a frightening credit card bill. If possible, consider using a debit card instead, which is possible if you plan on the Christmas gifts you want to buy well in advance.
Do not purchase to impress
When you’ve got money to do some shopping, you may get tempted to purchase to impress everyone on the gift list. It is okay to buy that extra nice gift for your parents or a very close friend, however avoid going overboard with each person on the list. Many people will appreciate a well thought-out gift that matches their interests and personality. With some creativity, you can easily get a relatively inexpensive gift to impress.
Remember everyone
A common Christmas mistake that people make is forgetting some people who are important in their lives. Don’t forget to make a list of all the people for whom you want to buy a gift. While visiting the shops cross off each person on the list as you choose his or her gift. On the other hand, ensure that you keep track of all Christmas gifts spend in relation to the budget you’ve made.
Shop around first
It is important that you window shop first before you make the final purchases. Reason being you could find that the same gift in different shops with different price tags, and with a bit of research you’ll know where to get the bargain price. It will also give you an idea of how much the intended gifts cost and if you need to shuffle your list around.
