BUSINESS
Zenken supports highly competitive and unique companies in niche fields to attract and recruit customers through our unique web marketing. Introducing "Niche Top Web Marketing Business," which Zenken is focusing on as its "core business."
WHAT IS “GLOBAL NICHE TOP”?
In 2014, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) defined a group of companies that differentiate themselves in niche areas and achieve high performance as 'Global Niche Top Companies' and set them as one of the goals of corporate management.The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) subsequently announced its definition of global niche top companies in 2020 as follows
Large enterprises: companies with a global market for a specific product or service of around ¥10-100 billion and which have secured a global market share of 20% or more in the past three years, even if only for one year.
Medium-sized enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises: those that have secured a global market share of approximately 10% or more for a specific product or service in the past three years, even if only for a single year.
We provide marketing services to help companies achieve a global niche top position.
Zenken realises 'global niche top'
We contribute to the revitalisation of the Japanese economy by helping small and medium-sized enterprises throughout Japan to establish a 'niche top' position on the web, and facilitating the matching of their services and products with customers who need the services and products they provide.
At the same time, our mission is to use the power of web markeing to produce many global niche-top companies that are not yet known to the world.
Features of "Highly Specialized Media"
We support our clients' 'top niche strategies on the web' by producing and operating our unique media, making full use of the internet marketing know-how we have developed over many years. First, we research and select the 'niche market on the web' for the client company. Next, we produce specialised media covering information on that niche market. This is a method of attracting the client's target customers to this specialised media, making them aware of the client's company within the media, and then sending the customers to the client. We have created and operated a total of 8,000 'specialised media' sites that implement this type of strategic content marketing. (as of June 2023).

Matching of Client Products and Users
Our media production process begins with an in-depth study of the market in which the strengths, characteristics, uniqueness and expertise of the client company can be utilised. At the same time, we conduct industry research and competitive analysis and propose positioning strategies based on these studies.
We also analyse the needs and concerns of target customers in the market and establish personas (specific customer images). During media production, we convey the features and strengths of the client's products in an easy-to-understand manner, while staying close to the thinking of the personas, from design to composition and text. By doing so, the target customer is convinced that ""This is the perfect company (product) for us!"" and are sent to the client's site with a sense of conviction, making it easier for them to sign a contract or make a purchase.
In addition, in order to produce 'highly specialised media', the company employs a full range of in-house specialists, including marketers, strategic consultants, SEO planners, editors, writers, UI/UX planners, designers, video directors, legal experts and operational directors. We are able to produce and manage media in a one stop service. As a result, as well as cost advantages we have a high reputation in terms of quality assurance.
Three markets to focus on in the top niche web marketing business
B to B market
The BtoB market as a whole is a vast market, but when narrowed down to limited genres, there are many markets where there is no specialised media. However, every market and company has competitors and customers have a need to 'compare and contrast'. We are developing niche BtoB industries and creating encounters between companies and their target customers.
