Niche Marketing: Your Product + “What’s Hot” = Success

Shmuly gets it. He’s taken a traditional piece of Jewish headdress called the Kippah and combined it with current trends, in this case the Presidential election here in the USA. Check out his product at VanityKippah.com. Pretty smart.

In this video I talk more about how smart marketers like Shmuly know to take their product or service and combine it with current events or trends to make more sales and get publicity. It works. You can do it too.

Take a moment and think about how your product or service relates to what’s hot right now. Sports (the Olympics?), entertainment, politics? You get the point. Now make the connection and do something creative. The press will eat it up.

    If I had one in my possession, I would have. Alas, Shmuly didn't send me one. What, you're not entering to win it?

    I wore one for a wedding many years ago and it always felt like it was going to fall off – I can't convert just because of that. I'm used to the baseball cap fit.

    Yeah, they didn't give us any, so it was just sort of floating and teasing the top of my head.

    Bad packaging on their end. I include two hair clips with every purchase.
