Susan Brown · Accepted Answer

Focus or broad, it all comes down to execution, isn't it?

I'd say focus strategy.

Hassan Sajjad · Answer

Focus strategy is advantages, but isn’t it risky to put all your eggs in one basket? Broad strategy might offer more stability, especially in unpredictable markets.

Feliciana · Answer

I prefer a focus strategy. It allows for more tailored offerings and a deeper connection with a specific audience, which can lead to stronger brand loyalty and better customer insights.

@kilopolki Niche marketing and tailored offerings can be highly rewarding and launch one into a blue ocean if well executed. Competition is less when properly niched.

Answer

For me, broad strategy works better. It allows you to diversify and reach a wider audience, which can reduce risk if one segment underperforms.

Pragadeesh Natarajan · Answer

Gradually shift from a narrowly focused strategy to a broader one as the startup reaches the growth stage and scales further.

M Moshin · Answer

Choosing between a focus strategy and a broad strategy depends on your goals. A focus strategy targets a specific niche, offering tailored solutions, while a broad strategy casts a wide net to serve diverse markets. Both have their merits—it's all about aligning with your strengths and audience! kukasoittii.fi

Answer

I think it depends on the stage of business.

Answer

I’ve always believed that focus strategy wins in the long run. When you specialize, you become the go-to solution for that specific audience, which builds trust and credibility.

Answer

I’m curious doesn’t the effectiveness depend on the competition? A focus strategy could dominate in a less crowded niche, while a broad approach might be better in a highly competitive space.

Answer

I think a focus strategy can be more effective, especially for smaller businesses. Tailoring offerings to a niche often builds loyalty and creates a stronger value proposition.  @kilopolki

Answer

I really depends upon where business stands. A focused strategy works well early on, but a broader approach makes sense once you’ve built a solid foundation.
