Hi all... I'm so happy to meet and get to know everyone. I'm a Husband, dad of 3, grandfather... daily PC gamer, (Marvel Rivals, anyone?) Catholic Deacon, and 15 yr marketing agency owner. I love ice cream, btw!

We talked in the meeting Tuesday about niching down into a more specific niche, rather than "contractors and service businesses". I spent a couple of hours tonight digging into ideas. I created a looong AI prompt describing what we do, what kind of customers we'd like, have served in the past, by industry size, amount they are already marketed to, their income & ability to pay, AI use... even difficulty of the AI systems that they are likely to need so we know we can deliver a great product. I skipped medical, because of HIPA laws and liabilities, and retail because it's too much to track thousands of products/skews, inventory, etc.. And of course... I had to like it, lol. I think I know what I want to do, but thought I'd post this first. Anyone have any thoughts? --------------------------------------- Anyway, I got some great ideas. Here are some results from Perplexity: Top 6 niches to test first (ranked) 1. Property management / multi‑family leasing offices — steady prospect & maintenance calls, clear KPI (leases/showings). 2. Funeral homes / mortuaries — urgent, time‑sensitive calls nights/weekends; owners pay for respectful, reliable coverage. 3. Private tutoring / music / test‑prep centers — seasonal but predictable inquiries and high conversion from booked assessments. 4. Notary/mobile document signing and mediator/ADR coordinators — appointment-driven, low risk, easy value messaging. 5. Permit offices / building inspection services (private inspectors) — many appointment/status inquiries, predictable scripts. 6. Veterinary specialty clinics (scheduling/triage only) — urgent owner calls, but avoid clinical advice to limit liability Here's another list from ChatGPT: - Funeral Homes - Property Management Companies - Storage Facilities - Pest Control Companies - Restoration & Biohazard Cleanup Companies - Private Schools - Daycares & Childcare Centers - Veterinary Clinics - Wedding & Event Venues - Chambers of Commerce - Trade Associations - Nonprofits - Bail Bond Companies - RV Repair Shops - Mobile RV Service Companies - Commercial Cleaning Companies - Assisted Living Facilities - Portable Toilet Rental Companies - Tree Service Companies - Cremation Services - Epoxy Flooring Companies - Concrete Lifting Companies - Chimney Repair Companies - Dock Builders - Radon Mitigation Companies - Elevator Maintenance Companies - Septic Inspection Companies - Insurance Restoration Adjusters - Home Healthcare Agencies - CDL Schools - Welding Schools - Trade Schools - Cosmetology Schools - Auto Glass Companies - Bankruptcy Attorneys - Estate Sale Companies - Storage Auction Companies - Senior Living Communities - Mobile Notary Services - Dumpster Rental Companies - Roll-Off Container Companies - Portable Storage Container Companies - Parking Lot Striping Companies - Mobile Locksmiths - Pool Service Companies - Pool Builders - Mobile Pet Groomers - Dog Boarding Facilities - Dog Training Companies - Towing Companies - Junk Removal Companies - Fire Protection & Sprinkler Companies - Security System Installers - Commercial Alarm Companies - Water Delivery Companies - Commercial Laundry Services - Linen Supply Companies - Uniform Rental Companies - Mobile Tire Service Companies - Window Tinting Shops
