  • 31 Dingen Die Je Waarschijnlijk Niet Wist Over Nike 27-11-2018 11:30
    31 dingen die je waarschijnlijk niet wist over Nike 27-11-2018 11:30 Just do it. Nike’s beroemde credo lijkt vandaag de dag eerder een missie dan een slogan. Waar veel retailers blijven hangen in strategische discussies, doét Nike gewoon en creëert zo een nieuwe standaard voor retail. En dat terwijl het in de eerste plaats nog altijd vooral een merk is. In het novembernummer van RetailTrends een greep uit de slimste en meest vooruitstrevende ideeën. Dit zijn alvast 31 retailfeitjes over het grootste sportmerk ter wereld. 1. Nike betaalde 35 dollar voor het ontwerp van zijn beroemde 'swoosh'-logo. 2. De allereerste winkel opende in 1966 zijn deuren in Santa Monica, Californië, onder de oorspronkelijke naam Blue Ribbin Sports. 3. Nike had in mei 2017 985 brandstores over de hele wereld. Het jaar ervoor waren dat er 919. 4. De grootste Nike-winkel ter wereld is de flagshipstore in SoHo, New York met vijf verdiepingen en ruim 5.100 vierkante meter vloeroppervlak. Deze vestiging opende zijn deuren in november 2016 en is een combinatie van interactie, personalisatie en digital en wil zo ‘de ultieme customerexperience’ creëren. 5. In 2015 maakte Nike zijn omzetdoel voor 2020 bekend: een jaaromzet van vijftig miljard dollar. 6. Nike verwacht dat tachtig procent van die omzetstijging komt uit twaalf steden en hun bijbehorende landen: New York, Londen, Shanghai, Berlijn, Los Angeles, Tokio, Parijs, Berlijn, Mexico-Stad, Barcelona, Seoul en Milaan. 7. In het boekjaar 2017 kwam de jaaromzet uit op 34,4 miljard dollar. Internationale markten en direct-to- consumer-verkoop waren de grote aanjagers voor die groei.

Two visionaries, Bill Bowerman and his University of Oregon runner Phil Knight, thought they could do a better job of designing and selling shoes to runners. They were right. Today Nike is the world’s leading innovator in athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories. Along the way, Nike helped the world’s best athletes win races, games and championships. And the athletes helped Nike design and market the products and brand that changed the face of sports. Together we continue to push through the boundaries of what is possible. We are constantly at work creating growth opportunities that set Nike apart from the competition and provide value for our shareholders. Nike is many things – a product designer, a consumer goods manufacturer, a brand communicator, a leader in corporate responsibility, a portfolio of authentic and relevant brands. Behind every corner of the Nike business is a singular focus – innovation. It is our nature to innovate. It is the fuel that powers our performance. When we look at long-term growth, there are eight things that define who we are, what we do, and how we operate to reach our potential. Let’s take a look at these eight things. NIKE, INC. A GROWTH COMPANY a NUMBER 1: WE LOVE SPORTS. INTRO 1. SPORTS 2. GLOBAL 3. PORTFOLIO 4. INNOVATION 5. CONNECTION 6. MARKETPLACE 7. EXCELLENCE 8. GROWTH Nike’s mission statement is, “To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.” And as co-founder Bill Bowerman once said, “If you have a body, you are an athlete.” This is how Nike sees the world – it defines the endless possibilities for human potential, sets the tone and direction for the numerous long-term growth opportunities we see, and continues to inspire new generations of athletes and consumers.

Thus, how to create a trend and popularize a product for consumers will be the focus and motivation for this thesis. Currently, one case study is Nike’s extraordinarily successful marketing strategies to popularize many of its products. Therefore, this research intends to thoroughly study Nike’s marketing strategies to popularize products and to investigate the possibility of successfully applying Nike’s marketing methodologies to the sales of other products in the future. This case study research will be divided into four parts: The Growth and Development of Nike Corporation. Nike’s successful marketing strategic models. The key factors contributing to Nike’s marketing success. How to effectively utilize Nike’s successful methodologies to develop other trendy products. This research has the following conclusions: Trendy products can utilize advertising and understanding of consumer perception models to create vertical integration and profitability. In Nike’s case study, we find that Nike instills unambiguous product recognition, and then overtly uses product adoration, celebrity advocates, descriptive rationality, audience interaction, experience economy, and experience marketing strategies.

  • Nike, Inc. Corporate Responsibility Report FY07-09 DEDICATION
    Nike, Inc. Corporate Responsibility Report FY07-09 DEDICATION We dedicate this report to Neil Kearney, general secretary of the International Textile, Garment & Leather Workers’ Federation and a champion of workers’ rights. Neil died in November of 2009, at the age of 59, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. For the last 15 years, Neil tirelessly represented labor to Nike on global supply chains. He taught us some of our most valuable lessons, sometimes painfully, but always constructively and with fairness. Neil’s career and life will forever reflect the story of globalization and the evolution of corporate social responsibility from unknown practice to mainstream business model redesign. I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj for the hungry and starving millions? Then you will find your doubt and yourself melting away. — Gandhi Neil Kearney’s Facebook profile tells us this was his favorite quote. We’re not surprised. In the 15 years that we knew him, he circled the world perhaps hundreds of times to fight for workers’ rights. The nameless, powerless women workers in Bangladesh, Columbia, Egypt, Honduras, Senegal and Turkey. He was their advocate, their champion, their voice.

  • Nike Free Od a Do Z
    NIKE FREE OD A DO Z Ruch zaczyna się od stopy. Kiedy jest w stanie poruszać się, rozciągać i zachowywać we właściwy sposób, wrodzony mechanizm działa jak powinien. Korzyści wynikające z naturalnego ruchu stopy wpływają na całe ciało, wzmacniając łydki, mięśnie wokół kolan, a nawet mięśnie grzbietu. Technologia Nike Free doskonale symuluje bieg boso, wspierając naturalny ruch i elastyczność stopy. Zwiększona swoboda ruchu stopy w Nike Free stymuluje jej mięśnie i zwiększa elastyczność, a także poprawia zmysł równowagi. Nike Free to zmiana filozofii projektowania obuwia sportowego w kierunku naturalnego ruchu – teraz stopa może poruszać się i zginać swobodnie. ARTICULATED LAST – ANATOMICZNE KOPYTO Według Tobiego Hatfielda, Athlete Innovation Director w Nike, często lekceważymy rolę, jaką spełniają stopy: "Sportowcy wykonują szereg ćwiczeń na wszystkie inne części ciała, ale dość często zapominają o stopie, od której zaczyna się cały ruch". Kiedy mówimy o produkcji obuwia, natychmiast przychodzi nam na myśl kopyto szewskie. Kopyto szewskie to element, któremu nadaje się kształt ludzkiej stopy, tak by podczas produkcji dopasowywać do niego materiał, z którego wykonuje się buty. Kopyto zazwyczaj mocuje się w jednym miejscu, w określonym rozmiarze i w określonej pozycji. Wyjątkowość kopyta Nike przejawia się w rozcięciu sztywnej bryły tradycyjnego kopyta, tak by uzyskać elastyczny model stopy. Tak samo jak Nike Free odzwierciedla naturalny ruch stopy, "przegubowe" kopyto Nike można skręcać i zginać podobnie do ruchów wykonywanych przez ludzką stopę. Takie podejście do modelu pozwala nam uwzględnić pełną dynamikę ruchu. BAREFOOT RUNNING – BIEGANIE BOSO Pierwotnie bieganie rozumiano po prostu jako przemieszczanie się z punktu A do B – nikt nie patrzył na stoper, nie było również kibiców czy rywali.

  • Nike Free Az
    NIKE FREE A-Z Feet are the foundation of movement. When they’re able to move, stretch and be themselves, the technology we were all born with does what it was meant to do. The advantages of natural movement should be free for all, and Nike Free unlocks them through flexibility and natural performance. Enhanced freedom of movement helps strengthen foot muscles and increase your foot flexibility and balance. Changing the language of shoe design forever through common sense, Nike Free allows the foot to move and flex in a more natural way. ARTICULATED LAST According to Nike Athlete Innovation Director Tobie Hatfield, the foot sometimes gets taken for granted: “Athletes train all other parts of their body, but we tend to forget about the foot that starts the whole process.” When it comes to making shoes, the last tends to come first. A last is the object made in the shape of a foot for materials to wrap around during manufacturing – it’s usually fixed in one place, and created to a specific size in a specific position. This last was made as an early demonstration that cutting into a solid object would make it flexible. Just as Nike Free mimics a foot’s natural movement, this articulated last twists, bends and moves like a human foot too. This was a dynamic approach to creativity. BAREFOOT RUNNING Running used to be a means of getting from A to B – no logged times, spectators or competitors. Now it’s a sport and a lifestyle. Running might have changed over the years, but the foot hasn’t.
