    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    This project looks in various kinds of Merchandising activities, market share of differentshoes and various sales promotion schemes, which are follow in the shoe industry. The threemajor players i.e. Reebok, Nike and Adidas dominate the sports shoe industry in India. India

    is one of few battlegrounds in the world where there is neck-to-neck competition between thethree. The companies claim to be in number one sport coating the data produced by twodifferent marketing research companies.

    In the 1980s, Adidas sneakers became popular amongst teenagers and young men. TheAdidas sneakers were popularized by the Run DMC song My Adidas and became a hugefashion trend. The Tapie affair the history of the company as presented by its official web siteis incomplete, perhaps because it is indirectly linked to financial scandals. After a period ofserious trouble. The death of Adolf Dasslers son Horst Dassler in 1987, the company was

    bought in 1990 by Bernard Tapie, for 1.6 billion French francs ($320million), which Tapie borrowed. Tapie was at the time a famous specialist of rescuing bankrupt companies, a business on which he built his fortune.

    Nike is the worlds no.1 manufacturer and marketer of athletic footwear and apparel. Almostunexpectedly, the company established itself as one of the worlds most familiar brandsduring the 1980s and 1990s.

    As familiar as a coke bottle or Big Mac, the Nike swoosh logo came to symbolize not justsports culture, but street culture, as the appeal of the star players who endorsed the brand wascarried onto city streets. The approach of the new century set Nike new problems.

    Trainers went out of fashion, economic slowdown and labor problems hit Asian performance.But the group has bounced back, retaining its iron grip on the sporting apparel sector and still

    undisputed lender in sports-oriented street wear.

    Reebok is the worlds third- largest maker of sneakers, athletic shoes and sport apparel.Goods are sold under the brands Reebok, Rockport and Greg Norman Collection. Reebok isalso the official outfitter of the NFL and has an exclusive deal to supply NBA jerseys

    beginning the season

    Reebok announced in July it would merge with German Sporting apparel company adidas-saloman in a deal valued at 3.8 billion. The merger is expected to be completed by the firsthalf of 2008 and will create the second-largest sporting goods company behind Nike with11billion in revenues.

    Adidas will maintain its corporate headquarters in Germany and its North Americanheadquarters in Portland, OR Paul Fireman will remain as chief executive officer of theReebok international ltd. And will continue to lead the Reebok team. Reebok will continue tooperate under its name and will retain its headquarters in Canton, MA. In fiscal 2008, Reebokhad net income of 192.4million and sales of 3.7billion.

    There are different individual companies under a common umbrella, each dedicated to aspecific line of product manufacturing, procuring or other particular business activities

    INSTRUMENTS USED

    Primary data collected through sample survey from the selected elements in malls and supermarkets. Therefore, for this purpose I have most popular tool of primary data collectionthrough direct communication with respondents. The tools I used are questionnaire.

    METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

    Actually, data is of two kinds, which are following

    a) Primary Data: primary data are those, which are afresh and for the first time and thishappen to be original in character.

    b) Secondary Data: secondary data are those data which have already been collected bysomeone else and which have already been used as per required.

    There are basically two sources to collect secondary data

    a) Internally: provided by company/organization

    b) Externally: various publication of central, state and local government. Books, magazines, newspapers Internet

    After only keeping in mind one can think about what type of data has to be collected duringresearch as our research is concerned we have to gather primary data for customer preference.

    RESEARCH INSTRUMENTSQUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN

    As the questionnaire is self-administered one, the survey is kept simple and user friendly.Words used in questionnaire are readily understandable to all respondent.

    I have made the questionnaire in which questions are according to the research and these areconvenience for the respondent.

    LIMITATIONS

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    While surveying we encounter with some problems like

    In some of the retail showroom, it is not allowed to get the questionnaire filled.

    Many of the respondents were not willing to fill the questionnaire.

    Some people were not willing to respond and few of them who responded were inhurry hence the active participation was lacking. Due to which I faced difficulties incollecting informations regarding our questionnaire.

    Another problem, which I face, was that people were hesitating to give informationabout their views freely.

    makes Adidas the best. The company Adidas was founded in the early 1920s as GebruderDassler Schuhfabrik, in Herzogenaurach in Germany. Adolf Dassler designed a pair of sportshoes in 1925 and few years later, he and his brother Rudolph were selling special shoes fortennis players and began design specific shoes for different sports. The family company splitin 1948. After the split, Adolf (Adi) Dassler founded Adidas and his brother Rudolphfounded Puma. Adi Dassler designed the three-stripe logo in 1941 and he registered it as atrademark for Adidas after the split.

    The strength of Adidas was its product innovation. Adi Dassler registered more than sevenhundred patents. Adidas began selling its shoes in the United States after 1968 and in fewyears, the company dominated the American market. The most important marketing

    breakthrough was the active promotion of global sporting events, especially the Olympics.The connection of Adidas to the Olympics has a rich heritage. At the 1972 Olympic game inMunich, every official wore Adidas.

    COMPETITORS

    Rudolf Dassler, Adies brother, founded a rival company, PUMA the chief competitors ofAdidas are PUMA and NIKE. In August 2005, the company announced that it had made adeal to acquire rival REEBOK for $3.8 billion. The acquition would increase its market sharein North America and allow it to further compete with Nike. This will propel Adidas to thenumber two spot in the foot apparel market behind Nike. Adidas trademark saying isimpossible is nothing.

    ENHANCEMENT

    In the 1980s, Adidas sneakers became popular amongst teenagers and young men. TheAdidas sneaker was popularized by the RUN DMC song My Adidas and became a huge

    fashion trend. After a period of serious trouble following the death of Adolf Dasselers sonHorst Dasseler in 1987, Bernard Tapie for 1.6 billion French Frances ($320million), whichTapie borrowed, bought the company in 1990. Tapie was at the time a famous specialistrescuing bankrupt companies, a business on which he built his fortune.

    Tapie decided to move production offshore to Asia. He also hired Madonna for promotion.

    In 1992, Tapie was unable to pay interest from his loan. He mandated the Credit Lyonnis bank to sell Adidas, and bank subsequently converted the outstanding debt owed to equity ofthe enterprise, which was unusual for then-current French banking practice. Apparently, theState-owed bank had tried to get Tapie out of dire financial straits as a personal favor toTapie, reportedly because Tapie was a minister of Urban Affairs in the French government atthe time.

    February 1993, Credit Lyonnais sold Adidas to Robert Louis Dreyfus, a friend of BernardTapie, for a much higher amount of money than what Tapie owed 4.485 billion francs ratherthan 2.85billion. Forgetting why the bank actually bought Adidas, Tapie later sued the bank,

    because he felt spoiled by the indirect sale.Robert Louis-Dreyfus became the new CEO of the company. He is also the president of theOlymique de Marseille football team, to which Tapie is closely linked. Tapie went bankrupthimself in1994. He was the object of several lawsuits, notably related to match fixing at thefootball club. He spent 6 months in La Sant prison in Paris in1997.

    POST -TAPIE ERA

    In 1997, Adidas AG acquired the Salomon Group, and its corporate name was changedtoAdidas-Salomon AG. In August 2005, Adidas declared its intention to buy Anglo-American rival Reebok for US$3.8 billion. This takeover was completed in august 2005 andmeant that the company will now have closer business sales as those of Nike in NorthernAmerica. The acquisition of Reebok will also allow Adidas to compete with NikeWorldwide. World cup 1954 when West Germany miraculously won the soccer 1954 WorldCup, their footwear was supplied by Adidas. These shoes introduced a technological

    breakthrough: studs with screws.When weather were good and pitch was hard, the shoes were

    equipped with short studs; when it rained; longer studs were screwed on the bottom of theshoes. As the final game against the highly-favoured team from Hungary was played in heavyrain, this gave the German players a firmer hold on the slippery pitch.

    athlete to sign with BRS/Nike, the sponsorship of athletes became a key marketing tool forthe rapidly growing company.

    The company's first self-designed product was based on Bowerman's "waffle" design. Afterthe University of Oregon resurfaced the track at Hayward Field, Bower man beganexperimenting with different potential outsoles that would grip the new urethane track more

    effectively. His efforts were rewarded one Sunday morning when he poured liquid urethaneinto his wife's waffle iron. Bowerman developed and refined the so-called 'waffle' sole whichwould evolve into the now-iconic Waffle Trainer in 1974.

    By 1980, Nike had reached a 50% market share in the U.S. athletic shoe market, and thecompany went public in December of that year. Its growth was due largely to 'word-of-foot'advertising (to quote a Nike print ad from the late 1970s), rather than television ads. Nike'sfirst national television commercials ran in October 1982 during the broadcast of the NewYork Marathon. The ads were created by Portland-based advertising agency WiedenKennedy, which had formed several months earlier in April 1982.

    Together, Nike and Wieden Kennedy have created many print and television advertisementsand the agency continues to be Nike's primary today. It was agency co-founder Dan Wiedenwho coined the now-famous slogan "Just Do It" for a 1988 Nike ad campaign, which waschosen by Advertising Age as one of the top five ad slogans of the 20 th century, and thecampaign has been enshrined in the Smithsonian Institution. San Franciscan Walt Stack wasfeatured in Nike's first "Just Do It" advertisement that de buted on July 1, 1988. Wiedencredits the inspiration for the slogan to "Lets do it", the last words spoken by GaryGilmore before he was executed. Throughout the 1980s, Nike expanded its product line toinclude many other sports and regions throughout the world.

    SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

    FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

    RESEARCH FINDING

    After assessing the overall market scenarios what came in picture was as follows: Consumer reaction suggests that Adidas is the marker leader among all its close

    counterparts in the sport shoes and apparel segments. NIKE is chasing its position most aggressively so now it requires maintaining its position with new stuff.

    ADIDAS has been major competitor for NIKE and REEBOK. 60 % Customers are still pro NIKE believer. The new stuff of the ADIDAS is attracting the consumers, more that might lead

    ADIDAS at the top spot in the pack in coming financial year. Consumers are not showing that kind of craze in ACTION for past few years. Probably it could be because of the aggressive attention snatched by brands like NIKE

    and ADIDAS especially in India. Celebrities also affect the sale of brand .ADIDAS shoes promoted by David

    Beckham. 72 % respondents take their buying decision after considering the advertisement of brand.

    Most of respondents prefer to purchase shoes from exclusive showrooms. Businessperson, service member and professionals prefer to wear formal shoes because of status and students like to wear only sports and casual branded shoes.

    SUGGESTIONS

    Seasonal promotion campaigns, like special discounts and advertisements, could beemployed. New lines of collections should be introduced for festivals.
