1. They Make You Immune To Price Cutting Wars
You either need the cojones to go the lowest, so you get all the customers but make a loss on each one and go out of business. Or, you bottle it when the price goes too low and your competition gets all the customers and you go out of business.
Either way you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle. So how do you avoid this?
You do not focus on price as your unique selling point (USP). Instead you position yourself as the market leader in quality. People are happy to pay for quality, so you can charge a premium price in your industry.
When everyone else enters into a mutually destructive price war, fighting for the bargain basement customers, you will be sitting pretty as you continually attract the cream of the crop that are happy to pay for your quality offering.

2. They Create The Chance Of A Price Increase War
If someone attempts to challenge your niche title, they are going to have to out-price you to claim the title.
So what do you do? You raise your prices too!
Now that is the type of price war you want to be involved in!

3. They Give You More Room To Create Special Offers
You may find that by using some of your profits for extra promotions, you will convert more customers and overall make more money. Your bargain basement competition will not have the breathing space of your profit margins to compete with your bonuses.

4. They Are Less Likely To Complain
What this means is you are going to be working harder to create a great customer experience, and that means that you are going to get less complaints.
This means that you will have less refunds, and have to spend less time and money dealing with customer service.
Let your bargain basement competition fight over the complainers and time wasters instead.

5. They Are More Likely To Buy Again
This is great because you do not have to market to a brand new customer, and overcome all their objections first. You have a ready built database of people who are happy to pay you a premium for your services.

6. They Are More Likely To Refer Similar People
These friends are statistically more likely to buy because a personal recommendation is the strongest motivator for people to buy.

7. They Are Easier To Manage
If you are the premium service in a market, you may find that you will attract less customers than the mass market company in your market. However, this can be a good thing.
Less people in your database means less work looking after them, which means you do not have to spend anywhere near as much on your customer service department.
It also means you can concentrate more time and effort on your customers in creating a lifetime's relationship.
Having a smaller database that are well looked after, and happier to spend more money to get quality can be far more valuable than a massive database of customers looking for the best bargain they take more looking after and will leave you at the drop of a hat when a cheaper option comes along.
