- First we need to gain respect and loyalty by
being straightforward about the function of our
products
before getting into more abstract ads.
-In some ads, we would like to use comparisons to
Under
Armour and Nike.
We will expect them to create messages about
our
products as well
Otherwise, we are not being seen as a threat
18. Offer discounts to athletic teams and gym members if they buy in
bulk.
Offer to customize athletic gear with school logo, gym name, etc
In some cases, promotions can be risky because it could cheapen
the brand.
We will only have sales twice a year in order to create hype and
entice consumers to come buy.
Having frequent sales sends the message that our clothing is no
longer worth paying full price for.
Since 365 Apparel adjusts to the climate, it does not go out of
season, therefore there is rarely a reason for sales.
19. There are many ways to see if goals are being accomplished
effectively:
1. Look at sales and especially at whether they peaked during
a promotion or event to determine if money spent was worth
it.
2. Look at the amount of athletic teams we were able to
sponsor within our first year and where we can possibly gain
more teams.
3. Are stakeholders willing to provide more money in the
future? Are they satisfied with first year results and
campaigns?
4. We can check the success of our Webpage sales and see
how many hits the site gets on a daily basis.

number of visits, likes, comments, followers, etc.

teams, look for any articles written about 365 Athletic

products.
