nichemarket Round-up For October 2019

Hey nichemarketers & nicheseekers

We've reached the end of October and have now been up and running for about ten and a half months now. Plenty has happened during the month filled with ghouls and goblins. So let's catch up with all the highlights with our October monthly round-up, shall we?

What is the round-up all about?

In a bid to show you that we are indeed community focused and want to be as open and transparent with South Africa we will be posting monthly summaries of how our services have improved and what's been happening on nichemarket, so you never miss out on vital information. We're not like other startups and tech business where we want to keep things shrouded in mystery, and we're happy to share our progress with all of you.

We realise we cannot grow without the support of both nichemarketers (business owners) and nicheseekers (consumers) and would like you all to feel part of the nichemarket community.
