I for one love niche businesses and think this post touches on a lot a small business areas/ideas that are oft-ignored in favor of flashier ideas.
When I look around my area I see lots of money being spent in a variety of areas that have not been innovated online at all.
1) Landscaper architects/garnders/etc. - Still a very old way of doing things. This easily could be brought online
2) People love their dogs and as a result, dog walkers, groomers, etc. have very thriving businesses
3) Coffee/morning commute - Some sort of app that ties both of these together. A great offline component.
4) Coupons - Groupon has proven that people want deals and that if you're able to remove the stigma around it, they'll buy it with tenacity. This could definitely be expanded upon.
3) Coffee/morning commute - Some sort of app that ties both of these together. A great offline component -- i liked the idea..does something exisit similar to this...
