Male purchasers, on the other hand, mainly buy for themselves. With replica shirts attracting female purchasers who are buying for someone else, this category provides a good” opportunity to upsell to this demographic. Given that replica shirts are generally a high priced item, being able to squeeze an additional purchase from the buyer can make a significant difference to revenues. Socks, shorts, hats and other football accessories can be positioned strategically to increase visibility when searching through replica shirts. Bundling items together could also prove beneficial, as the incremental spend is a relatively small percentage of the main item. When females shop in sports shops, it is often because of something a child is asking for, so taking advantage of this moment is critical for retailers. By offering a variety of other products with the main item, it allows the retailer to educate the buyer about the other items available and also allows the buyer to go ‘off script’ and perhaps purchase an additional product independently. The NPD Group monitors the sales of sports footwear and apparel in many countries around the world. For more information contact The NPD Group sports team on 01932 355580. Children make up more than a third of the replica football market, worth over £100 million, and, when compared to 2009, the last year without a major tournament, the segment grew by eight per cent. With prices remaining stable, it was a volume driven increase that led to the growth in this area. PURCHASING EXPERIENCE With the majority of replica shirts being bought for someone other than the buyer, it is clearly in retailers’ interests to make the purchasing experience as easy as possible. In 2011 more than 60 per cent of replica shirts purchased were not for the buyer.

The past year has seen many of those necessary reforms come about. For some, these changes have been difficult, but I do believe they were essential if we were to build for the future. We had to take a long hard look at what we did and the way we did it. Since our team came into office two years ago, everything we have done has been geared at returning table tennis to a position where we could plan ahead with confidence. We have now arrived there. Earlier this year, we were delighted to learn that our main financial supporters, Sport England, decided that table tennis was ‘back on track’, removed us from the ‘special measures’ and returned us to secure funding to the end of this cycle. This means that we can prepare for the future with confidence.
