makes people want to drink that beer, because they subconsciously want to have the experience as people in the commercial. The final option that commercials have to appeal to is brand identity. This means they are trying to cause people to know their brand, so that when they go shopping for whatever they need, they will think about that brand, and hopefully buy a product that the brand makes. Shang states this about brand loyalty “Brand loyalty originally referred to consumers' repeated purchasing. Repeat purchasing, however, may only indicate consumers' temporary acceptance of a brand. Therefore, the concept of brand loyalty was extended to encompass both attitudinal and behavioral loyalty (Jacoby and Kyner, 1973). Behavioral loyalty means …show more content…
One of the many brands I participate in is Nike. I like Nike so much, because it is an athletic brand that is not strictly for athletes. Under Amour is similar to Nike, but Under Armor is more for athletes. With the trends right now Under Armor is more so looked down upon than ever before. Nike is still going strong, but they are losing revenue compared to where they used to be. I have some Under Armor products, but I do not feel their products are on par with Nike. The design of the clothing is simply not as good as Nike. Wearing Under Armor makes me feel as if I should be playing football, because that seems to be their main target. The quality is not as good also. Nike is superior in clothing quality in my opinion. The fit of Nike clothes is also much better than under armor. Currently the trend is to wear clothing that is tighter, and more form fitting. Under Armor either sells skin tight clothing for sports, or clothing that is too lose for casual wear. Nike killed two birds with one stone when it comes to clothing. The majority of their clothing is form fitting, but not tight enough to look awkward. However, they can still be used for athletic activities. Nike’s tech fleece are a perfect example of this. They are form fitting, warm, and still stretchy enough to be used for running, or a variety of athletic activities. This is the reason why these pants are my favorite clothing item that any brand has made. Adidas is …show more content…
However, unlike Nike I do not wear much Adidas clothing. I simply buy their shoes. I used to buy only Nike shoes, but ever since the last year or two, my shoes have been almost entirely taken over by Adidas. My only Nike shoes that I still wear is one pair that I wear to the gym, and one pair that I wear when it is raining, and I do not wanna mess up a good pair of shoes. Adidas’s boost technology cushion is simply much more comfortable than basic shoes with EVA cushioning. I currently have six pairs of Adidas shoes, and they all have boost technology in them. Three of them are the same shoe, they are just different color ways. One person I know of who is a brand fanatic is a Youtuber known as “Oh it’s Teddy”. He has literally hundreds of pairs of Adidas shoes, and they all have boost technology in them. But, unlike me, he buys everything Adidas, and only Adidas. He is completely a brand
Some basketball stars have their own shoes. All the shoes are different and some are more expensive than others. Adidas football cleats are a little similar to the basketball shoes because they are both hi top and have the logo on it and the football cleats have spikes on the bottom. Adidas running shoes are low top and are vary flexible to run in. they all have the logo on them morally on the side. If you were to group your shoes running shoes and basketball shoes would not be together. They can’t really be sorted as the same shoes. Some of the shoes like the ultra boost are super flexible and they come already bent at the
Overall, Under Armor did an outstanding job targeting young, aspiring athletes to do what they want to do with their life. They used logic to show how hard the athletes work along with emotion to show how serious they take their training. Finally, Under Armor used the credibility of the athletes to sell their new training shoe. This commercial will make anyone want to purchase a pair of shoes and workout themselves. Since the commercial is on such a serious level, viewers emotionally connect with it which makes Under Armor seem like the best brand
Nike is a household brand name not only in the United States but also throughout the world, although roughly half of sales are sourced in the United States (Brick). This dominance in North America, an area which represents $108.7 billion of the $282.3 billion worldwide, is key in the overall evaluation of the Nike assets (Euromonitor 1). Nike’s position of industry power is supported through their innovation in design as well as notable sponsorships and collaborations with professional athletes and tech companies like Apple. Their event and team sponsorships also elevate Nike to an elite level (4). However, competitors in this industry are quickly gaining momentum. For example, Under Armour has experienced notable growth in the past five years, and adidas continues to grow their presence in the United States. This has detracted some of the Nike dominance in the U.S. market
In an increasingly competitive market with strong rivals such as Reebok, Adidas, Nike’s latest strategy is offering consumers the shoes they desire. This is done by providing customers with the option of designing their own shoes. At Nikeid.c...
And finally Nike and Under Armour are both very good companies and many people go to both stores. Nike and Under armour are both good sports clothing stores but I prefer nike. I like Nike more out of the two because I think nike is better becuase Nike sponsors more NBA basketball players`I think Nike is a cooler company and that's why I like Nike
They could overtake Adidas if they continue with their innovative strategy because they’re only $3.5 billion away. Since now-a-days consumers are all about technology and new innovative products, if Under Armour continues with their innovative strategy they will continue to see an increase of financial growth, become a major competitor for Adidas, and a closer competitor to Nike.
Under Armour is a leading athletic clothing line directed towards the overall athlete who is looking for the most comfort during extracurricular activities. The mission of the company is, "to provide the world with technically advanced products engineered with exclusive fabric construction, supreme moisture management, and proven innovation.

The sports apparel and accessories industry has a highly competitive market. Businesses are constantly competing for elite athletes to sponsor, raw materials, and every opportunity to expand. Under Armour is able to not only survive but thrive in this market because of their ability to think outside of the box. They are constantly creating new and exciting products that help athletes everywhere.
They also have Under Armour Freedom which is how they say thank you to all of the First Responders, Military Support Organizations, Law Enforcement Officers, and Veterans also they have Under Armour Win Global which they try to provide sports to kids that don't have any sports or anything and enhancing places where kids can learn and supporting coaches for their dedication. Under Armours clothing is what makes them a unique company. The way their clothes can keep you cool and warm and feel dry most other companies don’t have. They also give you a full payback if you do not like the products you buy. They also try to use recycled items to put into their products.
When comparing prices, consumers can find the exact same style Nike boot in Adidas and pay a lower price. Essentially what the consumer is paying extra for is the Nike brand. Looking back at my journal you can see I wore the Adidas boots one time, then went out and bought Nike boots. “Brand loyalty is based on an emotional connection toward the brand and a conscious commitment to find this brand each time the consumer purchases from this category.” 112 Brand Promotion I could have worn the Adidas boots for free but I spent the time and money to go purchase the Nike brand. “brand loyalty and advertising work together to create another important economic effect related to pricing flexibility and profits. When consumers are brand loyal, they are generally less sensitive to price increases for the brand.” 45 Advertising and Integrated Brand Promotion Being able to raise prices but still keep the consumer market is very valuable. This is one of the main reasons brands strive to have brand loyal
Why Under Armour is on the Rise Under Armour is a company that produces athletic wear from baseball cleats to basketball shoes. Their mission is “to make all athletes better through Passion, Design and the Relentlessness pursuit of innovation (uabiz.com).” The company was founded in 1996 by former Maryland football player, Kevin Plank, in hopes that he would create clothing that kept athletes cool, dry, and light throughout the course of a game, practice, or workout. Under Armour came out with three different types of gear which included HeatGear, which is worn when it is hot, and ColdGear which is worn when it is cold, as well as AllSeasonGear that can be worn anytime.
One thing I like about Nike is how accessible it is. You can find Nike products just about anywhere such as Nike outlets, Dicks Sporting Goods, Khols, Macy and other big department stores, as well as online. Some companies don’t make it as easy to find and buy their products which can be a struggle. I hate when I’m in need of a certain product but companies limit their access, and I can’t get what I need when I need it. Nike makes it easy to find and buy their products at any
There are as many brands as there is ants in the world, but the two brands that pop out are adidas and nike. Those two brands have been going head to head for ages to see who is the better brand. It’s been tested, compared, and debated which brand is better. Whether it’s the quality of the materials or the cost of it, the debate is ongoing. Both brands have been fighting for the top ever since they were both created and I don’t blame them it’d be fantastic to be the best brand in the world. When Nike and adidas are contrasted, it becomes clear that the Adidas brand are better for the overall consumer and enhances sport performance than Nike.
This project concentrates on the Nike Sports shoe; Nike is one of most significant shoe manufacturing company worldwide. Sportswear manufactured by Nike is known for quality and is most liked brand of athletes. (Daniel, 2011)
The second recommendation for Under Armour is that they should develop a shoe line and marketing campaign for women, based on the idea of everyday athlete. Focusing on the fact that women want to compete and have the same performance benefits that everyone wants, but also have a shoe that is stylish enough that she can wear straight
