\nThe Selling of “Precious”<\/p>\n

By ISHMAEL REED<\/strong> <\/p>\n

A niche market could be defined as a component that gives your business power. A niche market allows you to define whom you are marketing to. When you know who are you are marketing to it’s easy to determine where your marketing energy and dollars should be spent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Defining Your Nice Market, A Critical Step in Small Business Marketing by Laura Lake<\/em><\/p>\n

One can view Sarah Siegel on \u201cYouTube\u201d discussing her approach to marketing. During her dispassionate recital she says that she sees a \u201cniche dilemma,\u201d and finds a way to solve that dilemma. Seeing that no one had supplied women with panties that were meant to be visible while wearing low cut jeans, she captured the niche and made a fortune. With five million dollars, she invested in the film Precious, which was adapted from the book Push, written by Ramona Lofton, who goes by the pen name of Sapphire, after the emasculating shrew in \u201cAmos and Andy,\u201d a show created by white vaudevillians Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll.<\/p>\n

(Ms. Lofton also knows a thing or two about marketing. Noticing the need for white New York feminists to use black men as the fall guys for world misogyny, while keeping silent about the misogyny of those who share their ethnic background, she joined in on the lynching of five black and Hispanic boys, \u201cwho grew up in jail.\u201d She made money, and became famous. They were innocent!) <\/p>\n
