From the following table it can be seen that maximum males 37% prefer Nike as their Favourite
brand but only 26 % females prefer Nike as their favourite brand rest of them prefer Puma and
Reebok.
This may because Nike has hardly any woman celebrity endorsing the brand. So Nike
should have some women celebrities endorsing the Brand to increase the women share of
mind.
