Nichos de futuro...

Um artigo que chama a atenção para três pontos:

• a aposta num nicho que começou por ser o da alimentação para celíacos e que tem crescido com a preocupação crescente de comer com saúde;
• o uso de um blogue para gerar notoriedade, autoridade, comunidade: "The cornerstone is a set of recipes rated by the audience covering seven areas such as snacks, main dishes, and desserts. Three principle bloggers provide thoughts about cooking for families and for gourmet settings. There is a resource list of books and websites, a monthly newsletter that provides articles and coupons, and a printable list of some 250 General Mills gluten-free products. The site involves by allowing the visitor to submit and rate recipes, blog, and comment."
• "Some lessons. First, the emergence of the gluten-free market, illustrates that niche markets, considered too small, can get traction. Second, social media has a role in making the emergence of the new category happen faster and in determining who will ultimately win. Third, the breadth of seemingly disparate products anchored by the Betty Crocker Kitchen and distribution clout represent assets that can have an important role with product spanning trends such as gluten-free eating or high fiber foods."

Por exemplo, a quantidade de frutos secos, benéficos para a saúde, que são destruídos pela incorporação de quantidades tremendas de sal, assassinam quanta quota de mercado?

Basta ir a um hipermercado para perceber o potencial de mercado esquecido... por exemplo, o Pingo Doce só venda amêndoas e avelãs embaladas na Alemanha e muito lavadinhas e polidas.
