Stop Marketing to Everyone: How Finding Your Niche Fuels Creative Business

Finding Your Perfect Market: How to Identify and Attract the Right Clients

Have you ever felt like you're shouting into the void?

You're offering an incredible service, showing up consistently, pouring your heart into your business… but still struggling to attract the right clients?

Let me tell you the truth: if you try to market to everyone, you end up reaching no one.

The real magic? It lies in finding the right market – those people who genuinely need what you offer and are ready and willing to invest in it.

In this post, I’m breaking down exactly how to identify your perfect market, segment it for maximum impact, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your niche.

This blog is based on one of my podcast episodes. If you love a good listen, check out the rest – I cover everything from business growth to navigating those mindset wobbles we all get!

🚀 Why Choosing the Right Market Matters

Let’s say you're a travel agent. You might think, “Well, I market to anyone who wants to travel.” But think about it…

A honeymooner

A corporate traveller

A family going to Disneyland

They all want very different things.

By narrowing down your focus, you can:

Speak to specific pain points

Tailor services that feel like they’re made just for them

Charge higher prices because you're seen as a specialist

Success isn’t about casting a wide net – it’s about casting a smart one.

🧐 Step 1: Identify a Market with a Real Need

Ask yourself:

Who already buys from me?

What do they have in common?

What problems do I solve?

Who truly struggles with those problems and can afford to invest in a solution?

✨ Real-World Example: Personal Trainer

Instead of marketing to “anyone who wants to get fit,” how about:

Busy professionals needing quick, efficient workouts

New mums wanting to regain strength and confidence

Athletes training for specific goals

Each of those is a powerful, targeted market with clear needs. You can tailor your offerings and message specifically for them.

🔍 Step 2: Segment Your Market for Maximum Impact

Market segmentation is simply about understanding your broader audience and breaking it into more refined groups.

Here’s how you can segment:

✅ Demographics

Age, gender, income level, occupation

✅ Geography

Local vs. international, urban vs. rural

✅ Behavior

Buying habits, brand loyalty, service preferences

✅ Psychographics

Personality, values, motivations, interests

💡 Example: Social Media Consultant

Instead of working with all small businesses, they could niche into:

Coaches and consultants growing personal brands

E-commerce brands wanting better engagement

Local shops needing foot traffic

Each segment has different needs, which means you can craft specific offers – and charge accordingly.
