Hey nichemarketers & nicheseekers

We've been up and running for less than two months now, and a lot has happened since then, so I thought it would be fitting to take a step back, catch our breathe and review it all with a monthly round-up series. 

What is the round up all about?

In a bid to show you that we are indeed community focused and want to be as open and transparent with South Africa we will be posting monthly summaries of how our services have improved and what's been happening on nichemarket, so you never miss out on vital information. We're not like other startups and tech business where we want to keep things shrouded in mystery, and we're happy to share our progress with all of you.

We realise we cannot grow without the support of both nichemarketers (business owners) and nicheseekers (consumers) and would like you all to feel part of the nichemarket community.
