How Nike uses marking to promote their company
Nike uses a range marking technique to promote their products to existing and new customers. They use outbound and inbound marking to ensure all consumers are reached in a comfortable way. Nike has been slowly growing their value over the years. In 2022 Nike was values at 46,710 million U.S dollars making a revenue profit of 12.9% in the last year (Statista 2022). They sell a range of apparel, footwear and sporting equipment that can be easily recognised by used their iconic swoosh logo.
Nike has continued to lead the market in the global sports industry despite their competition with Adidas and Puma. They do this by utilising their large following and promotion tactics. They utilise their loved athletes to help promote their apparel and footwear through social media, videos, photographs and most importantly wearing Nike footwear when participating in their chosen sport. For example, Michael Jordan and Nike collaboration, creating footwear called ‘Jordan’s’. Nike endorse their product through television commercials, in 2020 they released a commercial called ‘You Can’t Stop Sport’ (Youtube 2020). This advertisement used a range of sports prompting unity, persistence, diversity and dedication in playing sport, demonstrating that sport is not only something people do but something people live for and come together to make us all unite. This commercial not only promotes their brand but also creates emotion in consumers, creating a trust and belief.
Nike advertise their products using social media. In October 2010 Nike joined Instagram and now have a following of 275 million. They use their social media page to post photos of new products, post promotional videos and now are able to tag the price of products to entice consumers to click and view with ease. They also created a twitter account in November 2011 again to promote their brand with videos and posts but also retweeting athletes posts to engage a wider audience.
In conclusion, I believe Nike are successful in using promotion to achieve marketing success, they use both inbound and outbound marketing strategies to communicate with a wide range of consumers and potential customers while also maintaining a trusting relationship with excising customers.
