Association officials praise Congress for passage

September 23, 2010 | By Paul Frumkin

The Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, which includes provisions that proponents say would provide restaurants and other small businesses with tax relief while increasing access to capital, was approved Thursday in the House by a vote of 237 to 187.

The Senate had passed it last week by a vote of 61 to 37.

The legislation now will be sent to President Obama, who has said he will sign it.

“This bill will help restaurants and small businesses with tax relief and assistance in gaining access to capital that is critical to economic and financial recovery,” said Scott DeFife, executive vice president of Policy and Government Affairs for the National Restaurant Association.

Why it pays to focus on a niche

After reading the article below that was sent to me this week by a colleague, I am even more convinced that developing a “niche” is simply the best business decision one can make. After 5 years of being a generalist, I announced back in January 2010 that our defined niche was “Senior Communities”. CLS provides the funding needed to buy, renovate or construct Senior Living Communities. This includes Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Skilled Care Nursing. I have personally experienced all 10 of the benefits described in this article developed by Michael W. Byrnes Jr. www.byrnesconsulting.com.

Why it pays to focus on a niche

Market segmentation has been a successful strategy for years, yet many do not benefit from implementing this approach. Most individuals know they cannot be all things to all people, but their businesses models underperform because they are trying to do just that. By dividing a large population into segments, a business can then position itself to better fulfill the needs of one unique group.

Ten benefits of concentrating on one target market.

1. Less distractions. The scope of products and services a niche needs become narrowed, making it easier to grow to be a specialist, tailoring a customized offering, which improves satisfaction, retention and advocacy.

2. Efficiencies. Service offerings and operational processes can be much more refined, preventing a business from being pulled in too many directions.

3. Word of mouth. News will spread recognizing the business as “the one” to use in exclusive circles that are sometimes hard to penetrate.
