Nike+ FuelBand Customer Our target customer is a male or female ranging from the age of 25 to 38 with a bachelor’s degree and an income of $35,000 to $60,000. This income stems MYVT [OLPY JHYLLY HZ H `V\UN WYVMLZZPVUHS PU H ÄLSK Z\JO as consulting, accounting, entertainment, business, and/or software to name a few. Considering their status as a professional, our customer must constantly be connected and updated, which consequently makes technology a vital aspect of their everyday life. In order to keep up with their peers, they must also keep up with the latest trends and products on the market.

Outside their career, our customer is pressed for time, ^PZOLZ [OL` JV\SK THPU[HPU H IL[[LY Ä[ULZZ ZJOLK\SL but doesn’t have the time to see a personal trainer on a daily basis. This leaves a huge opportunity where our target customer wants to be more involved in athletics but their busy lifestyle and schedule doesn’t allow for it.

They’d like a product to just to it on their schedule.

Although they can be borderline Generation X, our target customer leans toward Generation Y with qualities such as being tech-savvy, achievement and team oriented, attention craving, and impulsive. According to VALS, we are targeting two segments: achievers and strivers. The achievers lead a goal-oriented lifestyle and are active in the consumer marketplace through their attraction to premium products and innovative electronics, which in turn demonstrates prestige and success. Moreover, the strivers keep up with the latest trends through their purchasing habits and focus on an image that is driven by the approval of their peers.

OLYMPICS Customer The Olympic Games is a major international event that brings X\HSPĂ„LK HUK LZ[PTH[LK nations, 10,500 athletes and over 70,000 volunteers from around the world together. It is predicted that on event days 78 percent of spectators are likely to travel from within London and 22 percent from the rest of UK and Europe.

Also, the number of foreign visitors into London is estimated at 350,000 per day. Based on the information available, there are 3 target segments to focus on: the athlete, the family, and the fan.

The athlete is a single spectator who lives an active lifestyle similar to the athletes participating in the Olympic Games. Whereas the family would be a group of people from infants to adults who come together on a family vacation looking for a memorable experience. Finally, the fan may not be your typical athlete but likes to be a part of the sports world by going to all the events and supporting his country’s Olympic team.

CUSTOMER SERVICE Our Fuel Station will rely heavily on prompt and knowledgeable staff that will accommodate customers in leading them to their purchases and answer any questions they may have. Due to the Olympic games our staff will be composed of multi-national employees. In other words, the employees will be required to know at least one foreign language (other than English). We believe having multinational employees available for customer service will help increase sales and create a comfortable environment for the many nationalities projected to be present in our store at this time. To the right are the uniforms assigned to male and female employees to be worn while working to help distinguish them from customers.

PROMOTION The Fuel Station set at the Olympics will serve as an opportunity to expand information of the FuelBand to a broad group of people. We will be using social media platforms and word of mouth to promote the location of the pop up store. Within the social media realm, we will be using YouTube to release videos to get our customers excited about the store. Other platforms include the rising popularity of Instagram and Twitpic to allow customers to send images or videos with the “#makeitcount” hash tag. People can stay connected with the Nike Twitter in real time. We will stream them through the Nike website with their name along with date and time. In addition we will display an advertisement on the London double decker sight seeing buses since that is a primary means of transportation for J\ZVT[LYZ 6\Y ÄUHS MVYT VM WYVTV[PVU is the exclusivity of the Olympic FuelBands and t-shirts selling only during the time of this pop up store.
