The average in the sports footwear market’s crown. runners wearing non-running specific price for female core running apparel has While many categories have seen sales apparel. This tells us that people see a been on a gentle quarterly decline since decline over this period, sales of running shoe as essential to the sport, but March 2008, whereas males prices have running footwear used for sport have not so with apparel, which obviously been creeping up. Value sales to males continued to grow. reduces the cost of participation. No have always been higher than females, The NPD Group reported that volume costly gym memberships are needed, or but this gap has closed consistently since sales grew three per cent during 2009 specialist clothing, just a pair of running prices have declined. when compared to 2008, while total shoes and the open road. It was during Q3 in 2009 that the footwear sales declined by three per cent Throughout 2009 value sales to level of volume turned round - females during the same period. Average selling females grew faster than to males. This began to purchase more products and prices were slightly down on the previous year, but performed better than many other categories. This is a particularly strong performance when you factor in the state of the economy and rising unemployment. So what drove this trend? Mature buyer Running differs to other categories in that it has a noticeably older average age - nearly 50 per cent of purchases are made by people over 30. This more mature buyer may be one of the reasons the category has held up so well, since youth unemployment has risen faster than for those over 25. Interestingly, we have not seen sales 06 SPORTS INSIGHT pricing was at its most effective. During this period males were spending almost £4 more on running apparel than females - and then a change occurred. During the 12 months to December 2009 sales of male apparel started to dip on a like-for-like basis for the first time since March 2008. Volumes were declining quarter on quarter, however we have seen a full circle swing with male prices falling and females increasing. It appears there is a price needed to reinvigorate the market, but also a maximum price that the consumer will tolerate. Similar to footwear, the larger proportion of sales in core running apparel are generated by people aged 30 and over. This is at a more prevalent level in the male sector, as around 70 per cent of purchases are made by men over 30. In the female sector there is close to a 50/50 split, with the younger age groups in this category spending more. This could be because of the widely held belief that younger males take a greater interest in team sports, whereas females often prefer to train alone. Influencing purchases When we look at the factors that most influenced the purchase of core running apparel, the answers given by males and females are very different. Males are swayed by technical function and quality while, as you would expect, the fit of the product was the most popular answer, but not by much. With females, how well apparel fits is the number one reason for purchase; however, cost is also an important factor, and one that is becoming increasingly important. For both genders price is an important consideration, but the scale of reductions in female apparel leads us to believe that they they may be upscaling. Certainly this appears to be true when you look at the growth of the top running brands.

  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.

He may have been preaching to the converted, but Graham reminded us that the licence fee remained great value, particularly if compared with taking a daily newspaper. Following coffee, the next talk was by Lisa Kenny, who gave a wonderful insight into the work of the Red Cross in Wales and the rest of the UK. Many delegates were left surprised by how much work the charity carries out domestically while often being regarded as largely a provider of aid overseas. The Red Cross, which celebrates its centenary this year, works to support independent living for older people in the UK, and its services in Wales have grown by 40% since 2010. The charity provides practical help such as for those returning home from hospital (it is the main provider of short-term wheelchairs in the UK), but its work also stretches into countering the effects of loneliness and isolation, with early intervention becoming a particular focus.
