Niche marketing may be a new term for you, but it really means narrowing your focus to the exact clients or businesses you want to be dealing with day in and day out. Manipulative sales tactics, long sales letters with big and bold headlines, and spammy emails aren’t the only way to get visibility and capture sales online. My guest this week shows us how to own your niche and open doors by sharing knowledge you likely give away daily.

Stephanie Chandler is an author of several books including Own Your Niche: Hype-Free Internet Marketing Tactics to Establish Authority in Your Field and Promote Your Service-Based Business, From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur: Make Money with Books, eBooks and Information Products, and LEAP! 101 Ways to Grow Your Business.

Stephanie is also founder and CEO of BusinessInfoGuide.com, a directory of resources for entrepreneurs, and Authority Publishing, a custom publisher specializing in non-fiction books. A frequent speaker at business events and on the radio, she has been featured in Entrepreneur magazine, BusinessWeek, and Wired magazine, and she is a contributing blogger for Forbes.

In corporate storytelling, the main character may be a person or the company itself and how a problem was resolved and the conflicts and tension that happened as a result of the problem.

Stories are what people remember in good marketing and what holds their interest. Not necessarily facts and figures, especially at the outset of building a relationship with potential clients or customers.

So how can a small business infuse good corporate storytelling and brand narrative into their existing online media? Here’s where my guest comes in.

Lori Saitz has more than 20 years of experience in marketing, corporate communications and broadcasting. She is the founder and CEO of Zen Rabbit, which is a company that helps business people say thank you to their customers. Immediately prior to launching Zen Rabbit, Lori worked as a radio personality and voice over talent in South Florida.

She’s currently in the process of a professional transition, which we discuss on Episode 60 of ACT LOCAL Marketing.

Lori is currently a member of the peer-to-peer strategy organization Her Corner. She has served as a pre-GED teacher and an adult literacy tutor and is an enthusiastic proponent for increasing literacy worldwide. She is a past president of a local Toastmasters International chapter and is a sought-after speaker for business meetings and conferences nationwide.

Lori spends her spare time at the gym and you may find her perusing the racks at Banana Republic, which she claims contributes to inspiring her creativity.
