The new native niche
Article Abstract:
Only a few Canadian companies market to aboriginal people, which may be a mistake since they make up 3% of Canada's national population. Half of aboriginal people are also below 30 years old and their total number is expected to double in 15 years. Their average annual incomes may be lower but is growing at a faster rate than the rate for Canadians in general. Among the services that could be sold among the aboriginal people are financial, social and health services.
