How we work
Niche research and Internet marketing trends analysis
We believe that access to necessary information is half the battle. However, you won’t be able to win the battle if you don’t own it.
In this presentation, we’ll focus on the ways we research and analyze business niches. This is a crucial stage, when we evaluate the potential of internet marketing channels for a particular business area to decide on further activities and strategies.
Our business analysts developed a specific method to run niche researches and competition analysis in a client’s business area. As a part of the research, we perform the following activities:
• analyze the total online demand for products and services;• estimate the leads/sales capacity of search channels;• study online exposure and visibility of client’s business among target
users.
