Often the perception of a niche is that it can feel too narrow, too restrictive. But the reality is most niche’s are quite broad.
Take Visitor Attractions for example.
A VA can cover a wide range of venues. From Museum, to Theme Park, Zoo, to Stately Home, Farm Park to Cathedral. Each deemed a Visitor Attraction, but each incredibly different from each other.
It’s the same for Purpose Led Organisations.
That could be a tech company that’s developed a new hearing product. A BCorp that produces sustainable paint, a charity that aims to eliminate child poverty.
Key thing to consider for maintaining flexibility, is the ability for diversification within your niche.
Even within a specific sector, there’s are often sub-niches or segments that can provide insulation against economic downturns, allowing you to spread risk and ensure a more stable revenue stream, even if some segments of the market are affected.
The Wow Company Benchpress data found that:
Specialising brings an increase in fee income of 26%+
And Gross profit of 61%+
Yet only 17% of agencies have a clear specialism or niche.
