Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to point out – on the basis of literature analysis and Au-thor’s own research results – the rationale for selecting strategies of a market niche and implementing niche marketing by small companies, often of a family nature, as well as to discuss the main criteria used to identify the category of a “niche company”. According to the Author, the concentration in a niche is an attractive course of action for small compa-nies and a manner of competition. The following arguments support the above: obtaining a higher return on sales, protection against global competitors selling cheaply and in masses, closer contact with customers and a long-term development of companies. This way they can avoid excessive risk, and thus reduce the risk of incurring losses.
