ADIDAS POP-UP SHOP

New Zealand Pop-Up Shop Tyler Anderson • Lindsey Capps • Seth Mark • Maiya Plather Professor Alessandro Cannata FASM410: Retail Management

executive summary Adidas is a sportswear company that was founded in 1928. The company aims to be the leading sportswear brand in the world, and to help with that goal, this a pop-up shop developed for Re:Start pop-up mall in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Adidas is serious about their sustainability practices. In January 2015, Corporate Knights ranked the sporting goods company third on its list of “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations.� Adidas was the only textile, luxury, or apparel company that made the list, in fact.

Drawing inspiration from other sustainable practices, we came up with this pop-up concept in Re:Start. Re:Start is a pop-up mall created from shipping containers in Christchurch, New Zealand. The mall is made to be sustainable after an earthquake devastated the previous structure on February 22, 2011.

The product offerings will be exclusive to this pop-up shop and will appeal to the target consumers in the area, including tourists. The shop will be open for one month.

company summary Adi Dassler, a cobbler by training and a keen sportsman, started a shoe company history with his brother Rudolf in 1924. Adi acquired his first patent on a pair of running shoes in 1925. By 1938, the company was producing 1,000 pairs of athletic shoes a day. After World War II, the brothers fell out and split the existing business. Rudolf setup Puma, and Adi launched Adidas. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Adidas made an expansion into leisurewear. In 1989, with the company at a crossroads, then CEO René Jäggi decided to invite two ex-Nike managers, Peter Moore and Rob Strasser, to visit Adidas. Moore had the idea for street-wear shoes, and Adidas “Originals” was born.

current promotion

Last year, Adidas spent $341 million on advertising alone. Adidas is highly active and engaging on all social media platforms.

The rise of social media has meant marketing budgets have moved away from television and towards online advertising, with top sports stars now able to directly promote the Adidas brand with millions of fans who follow their feeds. All of Adidas’s sales promotion takes place primarily through e-commerce.

The only sales promotion they currently have implemented is for customers to sign up for their newsletters via their website to recieve 15% off any purchase. Their most recent campaign, “Future” features seven artists

and cultural influencers: Luka Sabbat, Kyu Steed, Aleali May, Ikwa Zhao, Reese Cooper, Design Butler, Yuki Matsuda and Iman Shumpert. The brand says the goal is to encourage people to “create their own future despite all the predictions society lays upon them.”

Adidas recognizes that social platforms are crucial to the brand’s future.

“Influencers play a big part in making sure the Adidas brand is being seen and heard. We are letting people come in and create their own content through our channels, that’s very much the focus. We no longer want to just show the public what we’re selling, we want to help them to actually shape the brand.”

justification for location

With the increasing number of the travelers coming into New Zealand yearly, we had to take into consideration the changing environment and how that is positivity affecting the location. With this influx, there has been a large amount of growth within Christchurch and the surrounding areas. Customer are traveling more and spending more on the experiences that a city has to offer, art museums, outdoor attractions, and sports, along with a growing number of restaurants.

New Zealand is a combination of rural and industrial settings, and 86% of people live in one of the five largest cities. The young adults that create most of the urban population are middle to upper class descents, graduating with a purpose in mind. Many of these

20

young adults go through levels of schooling that include early childhood educations followed by primary, and secondary schooling. With an open mind, New Zealand is accepting of different abilities, religious beliefs, ethnic groups, income levels, ideas about teaching and learning, and have processes in place to give the students consistent, high-quality education at all levels.

Many New Zealanders spend their days outside, due to the multiple activities the country has to offer. This, too, attracts visitors from around the globe to visit the country and experience what it as to offer. With the influx of touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; families, single adults and married couples without kidâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; the steady flow of pedestrians into the city will help support the pop-up shop.

stability of trade Transporting from Adidas already existing distribution center in Australia, trading and shipping into New Zealand does not create any issues. The strength and importance of the trade and economic relationship with Australia was recognized by the Prime Minister, who helped create the Australia‑New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (CER), which has delivered enormous benefits to both countries, and being taken forward by the Single Economic Market (SEM) agenda.

legal New Zealand was ranked second behind Singapore in the World Bank ranking system for countries you should do business with. This ranking was comparing how conducive the regulatory environment is to starting and maintaining business in the local culture. Adding to that New Zealand was ranked second on the least corrupt countries in the world.

human resources

The team for the pop-up shop will include two managers from Adidas, as well as four associates. Four additional associates will be hired locally for a total of ten employees– all of which will be scheduled full-time at 40 hours per week.

The managers will received $1,000 salary per week, and the Adidas associates will receive $12 per hour. The local associates will receive $10 per hour.

the store

24

When creating the physical space we wanted to take into account what ADIDAS has created in previous flagship and pop up stores, while also taking inspiration from our selected location.

Re:Start is constructed entirely from shipping containers, we wanted to keep in sync with the aesthetic. Adidas original logo outlines the exterior wall with leading lines wrapping around to the entrance, guiding shopping. After the customer makes their own custom gear, they are able to go into the Adidas photo lab and take their picture to share on social media outlets.

A vinyl window decal is used on the main window in order to keep limited space available for a higher foot traffic, along with keeping visibility into the store. The vinyl decal depicts artwork in the style of Buff Diss and would traditionally be made from masking tape. We chose this specific design to set the mood for the store, and to let visitors get the fun street art vibe our pop-up shop is all about.

25

interior

26

With the store allocation being on a smaller scale, our productivity level will increase due to the selling price of the product.

To maximize and utilize the most space, our products will be displayed on a series of hanging and shelving systems. The iconic three lines seen in Originals and sports were our main inspiration for creating the ambiance.

Adidas is created for the user experience, which we wanted to keep in line with the simplicity, and allow the shopper to create their own moment in this environment. Simple black and grey walls, metal flooring, and a photo booth with the symbolic three stripes come together to create a pure environment.

The glass facade is added to invite customers into the store while allowing natural light to enhance the space. Music will play in the background to create an upbeat energy.

The merchandise displays not only utilize the space in the most effective way, but also show the product assortment in a straightforward manor.

Our storefront and side will both have an abstracted version of Adidas’s iconic Originals logo, tailored to this specific store’s location– creating a unique atmosphere for this unique store.

Supporting artists on the rise has been part of the Adidas mission when creating new spaces and product lines. With this in mind, we collaborated with artist, Buff Diss, who creates intricate line work with unconventional materials.

Security already used by Re:Start will be provided. Security cameras will be added to the store environment to add an extra set of safety. To provide better customer service, and to save space, a mobile point of sale system will be implemented.

27

assortment plan Buff Diss is an Australian street artist who is known for his use of line work made from unconventional materials. At our Adidas pop-up shop, we have collaborated with the artist in a few areas including product design. There is a limited edition shirt with a pattern he created on it, and following the theme of street art, customers will be able to spray paint onto the merchandise they buy, using stencils designed by Buff Dissâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; or using their own creativity, and entering a contest to potentially have their design created by Adidas.

promotional plan

The promotional plan will be deviated into 6 months. By using a wide range of promotional activities to create deeper engagement with our consumers, and focusing solely on innovative usage of our social and digital omni-channels. With social media playing an integral part in Adidasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaigns, #OnANewLevel will become the summer trend for supporting an urban approach to embracing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individuality through spray painting - curating millions of views, and steering audiences to our online website. Sales associates will be trained to update social media, and will submit their posts to the Adidas marketing team instead of openeing all new accounts for the pop-up shop, thus keeping those costs lower than a traditional marketing team.

32

facebook:

According to prior research, New Zealand’s population is highly invested in social media, with Facebook being its top ranking site. An average of more than 2.5 million Kiwis visit Facebook frequently. (Pelea) We will use the already existing Adidas Originals Facebook page specifically for the pre-launch, during, and after the launch of the Adidas pop-up shop.

During the pre-launch, we will announce a hiring date to give Kiwis the opportunity to join our team, in which they will be trained on social media management after being hired. Daily posts will include real time media to engage our consumers.

This includes time-lapse videos, short videos, and photographs to capture the energy and interest the pop-up shop holds.

We will use Facebook to promote other social media platforms not as highly used in New Zealand, including Instagram and Snapchat, to curate further interest across all platforms, attracting both loyal and curious consumers to check out the shop.

twitter:

Twitter also has a large target audience in New Zealand, with users ranging in age from 13 to 65 years old. The majority of Twitter users are young adults, particularly female, aged 15 – 24. Unlike Facebook, Twitter shows every Tweet made by a brand to every one of that brand’s followers. However, unless a follower is constantly watching their Twitter feed, they’re most likely to miss a lot of the content being posted by that brand. Therefore, the average lifetime of a Tweet is a lot shorter than that of a Facebook post and the average number of Tweets per week/month should be higher. Keeping this in mind, we will focus on posting tweets primarily during the pre-launch, to give potential consumers several chances to take notice of the upcoming pop-up shop and interact with the posts.

youtube:

With 52% of the total population engaged on YouTube, it is imperative that we utilize the platform to promote the pop-up shop. Based on prior research on the productivity of YouTube, it will be most effective for us to only post simply two or three videos during the whole month duration of the pop-up shop - one during the pre-launch, during the launch, and after the launch of the pop-up shop. The video posts will include a time lapse video of the process of building the pop-up shop, Aleali May’s day appearance, and a smash-up of high energy footage taken during high foot traffic days in the shop. We will place special emphasis on making sure the editing of all videos matches the standards the overall the aesthetic of Adidas.

instagram:

In comparison to Facebook and Twitter, Instagram falls behind in New Zealand as one of their most used social networks.

We will limit its use to only during the launch of the pop-up shop, using new media methods of advertising including GIFs and short videos, along with traditional photos. Post content will vary from showcasing the interaction between consumers and merchandise, the final outcome of their chosen customized merchandise, and clips taken from customers inside of the video photobooth.

snapchat:

Keeping in mind that Snapchat is another less used social media platform in New Zealand, it will only be used during the shop’s launch which will enforce an immediate personal touch with consumers. By using Snapchat, consumers can snap themselves immersed in the store’s experience. We will also have our own geotag for the duration of the pop-up shop.

celebrity:

Connecting back to the importance of social media, we have chosen blogger, model, and top Adidas social influencer, Aleali May to sponsor and make an unannounced surprise appearance during the launch of the pop-up shop. Her responsibility will be to document her entire journey throughout the shop, from creating her own personalized design to its finished product. Other aspects of her appearance will include an hour meet and greet, and an hour autographing session. This will get consumers talking and rushing to the pop-up shop, positively affecting our foot traffic and sales. Buff Diss will also be included as a collaboration, and his designs will be featured in the shop. Adidas will be allowed to use Aleali May’s and Buff Diss’s names and likenesses throughout our promotional activities.

conclusion Adidas strives for sustainability and our pop-up shop keeps that in mind every step of the way. From the re-purposed shipping containers, to the water saving quick dry paint, to the recycled packaging at the store. In a more permanent location, we could implement even more environmentally conscious elements like solar panels.

Although our Adidas pop-up shop isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t projected to make a profit, we are hopeful that sales will be better than expected. Re:Start visitors will be intrigued by the exciting atmosphere of the store and the chance to win a t-shirt design contest they painted themselves, ultimately continuing the reach of Adidasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence.
