Creative Niche Markets

Aaron: Welcome in Dane. Thanks for being with us. This episode is a little unique because unlike normal we are not interviewing you, but asking you to join the discussion about Niche Markets. Being with Stahls and also being on the cutting edge of AI and art / design allows a unique perspective. And this is an episode that we have not tackled in a while where Terry and I discuss Niche Markets. I can’t wait for your take. But first, for any new regulators out there, tell us a little about you and your journey through the industry. The Dane 101.

Terry: Let’s start by explaining niche markets and why these markets are important.

Aaron: Having Dane here, I want to dive right into a niche related to AI. I’d like to ask you Dane, how are you seeing people utilize AI artwork to create a niche for themselves?

Aaron: Pet Lovers: Customized pet-themed apparel, accessories, and home decor for passionate pet owners.

Terry: Local Sports Teams: Design and sell merchandise for local sports teams, schools, and fan clubs.

AI Art Tools

Aaron: Sustainability Enthusiasts: Eco-friendly and sustainable apparel and products for environmentally conscious consumers. And it might not be eco-friendly sayings, and even what some might consider greenwashing. But focusing their business on sustainability. And many times that goes hand in hand with ethically produced products. Many years ago we had Reagan from Fed By Threads on the show and he was what I would consider an early adopter of this model.

Terry: Completely Unique Niche Markets

Aaron: Art and Creativity: Art-inspired merchandise, custom art prints, and creative tools for artists and art lovers.

Terry: Geek and Fandom: Target specific fandoms, such as sci-fi, fantasy, or gaming, with unique designs and merchandise.

Aaron: Dane thanks for participating today. Can you share any news (secrets about things happening at Stahls? Also, share what is going on over at DaneClement.com and some of the future plans there.

Extras if we have time:

Crafters and DIY: Craft-related merchandise, tools, and supplies for the DIY and crafting community.
