Branding yourself as the leader in your niche is your goal when it comes to advertising and marketing. To do this you have to become involved in your prospects world. Be a part of the community. Get out and be seen anyway you can think of. Speak at luncheons, take a booth at a trade show, hand out business cards everywhere you go, advertise in local papers, put out flyers, etc.
Another powerful strategy is to do article marketing. Writing articles both online and offline is a way you can use information to build yourself as the expert in your field. Submitting them online to article directories is a form of viral marketing that can pay off for years to come. Submitting them to newspapers and trade publications is proven way to increase your exposure offline.
As you can see you have to work at becoming a known business in your niche market. But if done correctly and consistently over a period of time anyone can do it regardless of how new or how old their business is.
