Respected Sir

·         When my target is capture the NICHE market my strategy would be to skim the market.

·         When the product is positioned to the top niche market my strategy would be to focus on the niche audience  and not on the whole market.

·         Market skimming strategies would include ads in premium , or technical magazines which the target audience reads. If the audience is tech savvy then internet including  ads in Google , face book etc could be considered.

·         The main difference between mass marketing or penetration marketing and market skimming would be market skimming would only target a part niche of the market.

·         For example – A marketing strategy for a sports car or a high end digital camera to picture wild life,  would be market skimming strategy. This is because everyone may not need or afford them.
