Very few people will recognize the name Hikari, unless they're in the beauty salon industry. Hikari is a scissors manufacturer and distributor. Not just any type of scissors, but very expensive scissors used by hair stylists. A small, five-inch pair of scissors might sell for $400, and more expensive models approach $1 ,000. Considering that the average hair stylist grosses about $30,000 to 35,000, this is a market in which the buyers spend 1% to 2% of their gross earnings for two pieces of metal connected with a screw and washer. You might think that it's a pretty tough market, but the U.S. distributor sells about a thousand pairs per month with a total employee of five. The intriguing thing is that Hikari has never purchased any advertising! They have built their business with seminars and other informational tools that (1 ) help stylists to perform their jobs ...

... can take advantage of Internet strategies and techniques. Over the long term, it might be just as important to learn the lessons of the Internet as it is to use it. Here is a series of e-commerce-inspired concepts that can benefit any company: BECOME A MULTINICHE MARKETER At one time, it was location, location, location. Now, thanks to the Internet, it's niche, niche, niche. Customers using the Internet gravitate to Web sites providing the products and services that most closely meet their needs. From a marketing perspective, the task is to take this insight and apply it to a company's overall marketing strategy. For example, most businesses sell to a variety of market niches, but they fail to market to them as niches. A good example is a material handling equipment distributor. The management team reviewed the company's customer base and identified five industries in which they were doing substantial business. Over the years the company had developed expertise in each of these fields, and both their sales and support staff were highly competent to deal with the industry-specific issues in each one. The distributor changed its marketing to focus on the needs of each niche. Instead of seeing itself as a monolithic material handling equipment distributor, it came to view itself as a company with five business units. SAVE CUSTOMERS TIME Don't just say it; do it. A dry cleaning company tells customers its home pick-up and delivery service saves time. Yet to check on an order, the customer must go online. If the customer wants to pick up an order at a store location after hours, ...
