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.
