Nike’s pricing is designed to be competitive to the other fashion Shoe retailer. The pricing is based on the basis of premium segment as target customers. Nike as a brand commands high premiums. Nike’s pricing strategy makes use of vertical integration in pricing wherein they own participants at differing channel levels or take part in more than one channel level operations. This can control costs and influence product pricing.

    Is Nike’s promotional mix successful ?

    Reply
    • Hitesh Bhasin says

      Yes. It is very successful. Because Nike has tie ups with some of the leading sports teams, and some of the really top players. This makes a huge difference with regards to customer loyalty. For example – I am a huge fan of Sachin tendulkar, who in turn was a regular on Adidas. And you will find my buying more of Adidas’s products then of Nike. On the other hand, Nike has Lionel Messi :) So it becomes a struggle to choose brands. So all in all, we can say that Nike has a very strong promotional mix.

        Small correction there:
        Nike HAD Lionel Messi right up till 1 February, 2006. That’s when he moved to Adidas and is with them till date. Also, back in 2017, Adidas made sure Messi wouldn’t go back to Nike by handing him a lifetime contract.
