Joint venture it a method of marketing that involves entering into a partnership with another business for the purpose of each partner increasing profits. Also known as a strategic alliance, this form of partnership leverages the assets and resources of each company involved, to the benefit of both. The partnership enjoys the benefit of each company’s existing customer base and the expanded potential customer base that the partnership will create. This should not be confused with link exchanging or banner exchanging. Such marketing methods do not make use of the priceless assets of good customer relationships and business credibility that are truly the essential elements of success in joint venture partnerships.

The concept of a joint venture is perfect for those who are trying to target a specific niche market and there are other companies who are already doing business with them successfully. Creating a joint venture with one of these companies would open that market up to you much faster and with much greater results than if you attempted to reach the market on your own. It also allows you broad exposure to that market without spending all your hard-earned money on advertising.
