36. Conclusion-In a nut shell, we performed
different types of analysis on Nike and came to the
conclusion that Nike holds a powerful share of market
and taps a niche market and deploys a rigorous pricing
policy but at the same time makes sure that it delivers
quality product and invests in customer value
relationship.
Suggestion- The market research conducted by
us showed that 52% people find the product overpriced,
to tackle this problem we recommend in order to
expand into a bigger market, Nike should reduce the
price of its products but at the same time this action will
reduce its brand value. Therefore, Nike can launch a
new line of products that are comparatively low priced
through its subsidiary. Taking this route, Nike can expand
its overall market base while retaining its brand value.
