If you’ve narrowed your target market effectively, then you’ve chosen a market you can actually find, either online or in person.
And if you’ve chosen a target market based on a profession (for instance, the supply chain industry or realtors), then writing articles for trade publications and speaking for trade associations are excellent and natural mediation marketing strategies.
