    I agree with this statement because as I previously stated people often will buy more than just shoes of that brand, they will often buy the socks, that match as well. Also if a person buys a hoodie they will often buy a matching t-shirt or pants. These products serve different purposes and fill different needs but all can be sold with the same slogans and logos with no chance of product…

    Having a famous celebrity advertise a product is still good for a company because that means your company will make money on the product and isn’t insulting anyone. Just because a famous person is advertising a product that doesn’t mean it’s misleading or insulting anyone. It’s mostly the responsibility of the consumer to check out the product for them self and to review it. In the long haul there are no problems with having a celebrity advertise a…

    The rivalry among established companies is high. The sports apparel industry is very competitive for multiple reasons. There are a large number of companies and a high volume of demand, both factors increases rivalry. Low switching costs for customers also increases the competition. Under Armour’s main competitors have large levels of capital at their disposal. Key players in the industry include Nike, Adidas and Reebok. Generally lower levels of product differentiation also increase the rivalry between these companies. The threat of new potential entrants is moderately high. The sports apparel market has been subject to continuous changes of trends that have increased its popularity. These trends include: a rise in concern for healthier living, and higher participation in sports.. Any attempt at a new entrant would have to put out a lot of capital on marketing and advertising to prove as competition for these companies. The threat of substitute products is high. The market for sports apparel, athletic footwear, and sports accessories is large and fragmented with more than 25 companies. Nike, who is an industry leader, only has about 4% of the market share of sports apparel and 17% of the footwear market. These numbers support the evidence that gaining market share is extremely difficult. The bargaining power of buyers is high. Price sensitive customers have a lot of power as the costs to switch between brands are extremely low or nonexistent and customers have multiple product options when purchasing. In this market, buyers are divided and no individual buyer has the ability to influence a product or price, however overall disloyalty to a brand can give segments of consumers levels of power. The bargaining power of suppliers is moderate. In the sports apparel industry there is a large amount of suppliers that companies can choose between to manufacture their products. However, for Under…

    Celebrity Advertising

    • 5493 Words
    • 22 Pages

    In the past two or three decades celebrity advertising/endorsement has become common practice amongst brands that wish to create and maintain attention, as well as increase product or brand recall rates (Erdogan, 1999). However, the juxtaposition of brands and organisations with admirable figures that possess qualities such as likeability, attractiveness, trustworthiness and credibility is not a new phenomenon (Erdogan, 1999). It is believed that an eighteenth century potter named Josia Wedgewood was the pioneer of using celebrities to his advantage when Queen Charlotte began using his products, after which he began referring to himself as “potter to Her Majesty” (Seno & Lukas, 2007). Since then the use of public figures to sell products has assumed a more corporate structure with contracts in place to guide the process, governing compensation, the celebrity’s level of involvement in the product and termination rights and procedures. In this paper, the literature overview of celebrities and celebrity endorsement will be presented, as well as the historical development of celebrity endorsement. Its effectiveness on investments and consumers in developing countries will be critically discussed, as well as the benefits and risks of celebrity endorsement. The deal between Nike and Tiger Woods will also be critically discussed and applied as an example of the effects of celebrity endorsement, as well as the effects of negative publicity.…
