sport related sites. This is so that our target market will see the shoes on websites and want to

buy them. For a 30 sec TV commercial it would cost $350,000. For an ad on a website it is

anywhere from $30 a month to $300 a month depending on the website. Our sources are:

4. We will sell to our target market which is male athletes from the ages 10 – 30 to reach our goals.

The income level of the people and their families that is buying our product is any income level

because every class of people the lower class will want these shoes because they will last a long

time, the don’t cost very much compared to other shoes, and people that play basketball need

shoes so these would be a good pick. For the middle class and higher these shoes have a very

attractive style and preform very well making our product one of the best to buy, therefor

making athletes of every class want these shoes.

5. The value added in our product is not only does this shoe look great and perform well, its sturdy,

well ventilated, and has good traction and is built very well so it will last for a long time. During

the first practice or game that the athlete is wearing the shoe in, they will begin to notice all the

great features and comfort that aid their game. This can cause the athlete to buy another pair

when needed or pre-commit them to buying the new Kevin Durant shoe that comes out in the

following year.

Marketing Mix

Product – Our product is the Nike Zoom KD IV. Considering the target market, (Athletes

between ages 10 and 30) we believe we will have success selling a shoe that is sponsored by

one of the best athletes in the world.

Price – Nike wants them to be sold at $95.00. This is a considerably low price comparing them

to other athlete’s shoes that are priced as high as $160.00. These shoes perform at a very high

level for their price too. They have top of the line grip and durability complimented by

lightweight features.

Place – They will be sold online, Nike outlets, shopping malls, and participating athletic retailers

such as Champs and Foot Locker. The shoes will be distributed to every sports store with Nike

contracts like champs and foot locker. A larger amount of the shoes will be sent to more largely

populated cities and areas but the shoe will be featured all over the world, knowing that there

are athletes all over the world.

Promotion – This shoe will be worn by Kevin Durant throughout the playoffs and there will be

signs displayed in athletic stores and commercials on TV showing Kevin Durant himself wearing

the shoe. We will show the best qualities of the shoe possibly through displays of Durant’s

amazing athleticism. When seeing Durant perform so well in these shoes the consumer will

begin to think that having the shoe can give them an edge on the competition. This belief will

create a more intense feeling of desire for the shoes within the consumer.
