MARKETING STRATEGIES OF NIKE


Focus on finding the most promising customers (kids and women) and introduce more products or improve current ones to satisfy potential increase in demand. Create fact sheets outlining minimum wage discrepancies among countries. Circulate Letters to the Editor highlighting positive aspects of Nike s labor practices. Bring a visible Nike representative to college campuses.

CONTu

Aggressively target budget consumers through sales promotions and discounts on mid-priced shoes. Build a stronger relationship with moderately priced retailers through sales associates. Increase number of Nike outlet stores offering discounted merchandise. Create advertisements that showcase Nike s female shoes by featuring professional athletes and non-celebrity females who use Nike products. Develop a shoe named for a celebrity female athlete, such as Mia Hamm, comparable to Air Jordan s.

WHY THIS STRATEGY?


U.S. Women: Prefer fashion, not footwear, they prefer clothing, we must create a shopping style based in athletic shopping. U.S. Kids: E-commerce, influenced by innovation and design, not only comfort or sports. We need to consolidate U.S sales compared to international sales and international competitors. Difficult to expand towards other sports or population segments.

SWOT ANALYSIS

INTERNAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES


STRENGTHS:
Strong brand recognition Internet sales Growing international presence Superior research and development department Strong sense of culture in the working environment Successful experience being competitive Successful marketing campaigns

WEAKNESSES:
Lack of stores catering to the active females Poor employment practices at their international manufacturing sites giving a bad reputation Heavy dependency on footwear sales Issues with Footlocker

EXTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS


OPPORTUNITIES: THREATS:

Customer use of company s products change from athletic purpose to a fashion item. General demand for clothing/footwear for leisure activities continues to increase. Growing e-commerce s positive effect since one of company s competitive advantages is Internet sales. Women demand for athletic footwear and clothing is increasing significantly.

Competitors which copy company's business model (high value branded product manufactured at a low cost) Adidas-Salomon AG, top European competitor. The impact of foreign currency fluctuation and interest rates, and political instability. Labor and political unrest in the suppliers countries. Cost orientated customers vs. company s higher-end market.

THE GRAND STRATEGY MATRIX

EVALUATION
Repeat surveys at six month intervals to gauge public perception. Measure growth of domestic shoe sales at six month intervals. Revisit with focus groups to record their opinions of improvements. Separately record sales of mid-priced shoes and women s shoes.

CONCLUSION
Nike is a very strong brand which covers maximum share of its industry, there are also some important points which are lacking in the industry. Nike company facing very tough competition with other popular brands so its very necessary for nike to promote & advertise their product very well.
