How To Be Successful in a Niche Market.

     A common misconception among folks starting a new business is that you need gain the whole “pie” in order to succeed. We started out as a company tailored to gentlemen, but then the wedding world found us, and now we are entrenched in a niche market. The important lesson is not to fight the market, if you are trending in one direction, embrace it. This strategy has worked wonders for us. Here are a few strategies to help your business succeed in a niche market.

Understand What Makes the Niche Tick :

It’s important to stay current. Go to events, learn about the major players in your market and Google the heck out of your niche. You need to make sure that you are the expert in the area, and you can see each new trend coming.

Use Your Research :

Use the knowledge gained from researching your niche to put your product in front of the eyes of everyone in that market. Don’t be timid! Post on blogs, be vocal at events, brag about what you are doing for the community. Let people see your passion.

Get grassroots if you have to -- be at every farmers market, convention or local event that makes sense for your niche. Someone actually holding your product in his or her hands and meeting you directly is an extremely powerful experience. You never know if a contact that originally seemed trivial could one day become the catalyst of your success. Whatever your niche is, make sure that people can’t think of it without associating you, on whatever scale that means.

Some People Won’t Understand. That’s OK 

When starting a business in a niche market some of the people closest to you can be the most discouraging. Remember, they haven’t done the research that you have. They don’t understand the community like you do. Don’t let people talk you out of trying something that you believe in deeply.

Prepare for Niche Seasonality :

When the wedding season hit us this year, we were understaffed and unprepared. Kevin (the other Box Bro) and myself had to spend countless hours and late nights in the shop playing catch-up. You have to know when the seasons are and when your niche market is going to strive.  Plan ahead and when you’re done planning, plan some more.

Open the door for New Opportunities :

During the most recent holiday season, we looked for a new outlet to keep our business growing, even in the off-season for weddings. We have “opened the door” through giving our customers what they want. Instead of only catering our products to weddings, we now answer requests for custom orders and Holiday Boxes. Because of this, we’ve had to get crafty and start introducing different boxes and themes for the Holiday Season.

There is no better feeling than watching something you spent countless hours on develop into a business. If anything I have said can inspire just one person to give it a shot, then that’s awesome! I can leave you with a quote Kevin used to say, which I think is really a quote from a Lil Wayne song, though it does get the message across…“Be good or be good at it.”

The fastest and most powerful camera in the world.

       
       With the tremendous development that we are witnessing today in the industry of high-precision cameras and speed, has been developing very fast cameras can capture millions of images per second, which is used especially in the field of research as quantum physics and the study of science movement and so on.

In this context, we find various students and scholars of major universities in the world are competing to develop and manufacture faster and better camera adoption of techniques and studies very precise, it is imperative that you saw a documentary describes and explains how the explosion occurred given and the adoption of imaging techniques is very slow, based on the thousands of pictures taken it in a second, but when I hear about 4.4 trillion frames per second is something chilling.

     In this post we'll look at the fastest camera in the world, and we will leave to the planet Japan, where it was the launch of a huge project by scientists at Tokyo University and Keio University to create a camera "miraculous" can capture 4.4 trillion (4.4 trillion) images per second! The thing that will make it possible to see what was not seen by humans before, such as a video camera describes the millions of parts from the second occurrence of the phenomenon of lightning, or capture the movement of the fastest bird in the world, where the movement will become very very slow to make it easier for scientists and researchers to study this type of movement.

      These scientists have developed private room special for camera (large size up to 1 meter), where they can study received act of samples of chemical or biological weapons in a very accurate image, and this technique has been named STAMP short for (Sequentially Timed All-optical Mapping Photography) where up accuracy current 450 * 450 pixels. So, this camera is a faster thousand times than high-speed cameras that are currently available.

     Keisuke Goda professor of chemistry at the Tokyo University says that one of the participants in the project, that in the year 2007 they talked about 95 thousand frames per second, and in 2009 the number jumped to reach six million frames per second, up to what it is now something that took three years of development, and we expected that there are practical applications in various fields within the next two years in the fields of Health and laser therapy and ultrasound, also will be a powerful tool for scientists, working on the photochemistry (photochemistry) and quantum physics and plasma (plasma physics) and electrons axial (spintronics), waiting for the development of equipment and techniques currently used by the camera to become smaller and lighter.

«There is no god but Allah » engraved on the ring of Obama.

         The American researcher, a political science professor at Harvard University in United States, Jerome Corsi said that the President Barack Obama wearing a gold ring from Indonesia before marriage, inscribed with the words «There is no god but Allah», and «Corsi» explained that he discovered through research conducted on the President, through personal pictures since 1980, and published by network «WND» News of America on Wednesday.

         According to experts, the Arabic language, hired by «accuracy», the words written on the ring «Obama», who wore 30 years ago, says «There is no god but Allah», and pointed out that he hired laureate American of Egyptian origins "Marc Gabriel", who assured him that the existence of that sentence on the ring of Obama refers to the importance and the role of Islam in his life, or at least accept this religion. The pictures showed, which was adopted by the researcher, «Obama» wearing the golden ring himself during his visit to the University of «occidental» in 1981, and while attending a graduation ceremony at the University of «Columbia» In 1983, in a visit to Africa in 1988, and during his time at Harvard University from 1988 to 1991, and the researcher continued in his report: «photos taken recently to President stating that he is wearing the Indonesian ring himself inside the White House».
