• #296 Dolphin Mall, up 33% with over $133K of adidas sales in Dec

Key Initiatives/ Trainings/Events:

•The adiPure trainer continued to be a focus for the month of December! PTVMs also trained associates on the Recovery accessories and men’s Underwear product, ensuring delivery and correct merchandising. “Only about ¼ of customers who try on the adiPure end up purchasing them. Although we help them, some people find it too difficult to get their pinky toe into the shoe, and they complain the fit process takes too long. They also decide not to purchase because it is a training option instead of a running product. They are, however, commenting on how lightweight the product feels when they do finally get it on.” – Footwear Mgr, #474 Clifton

•DC/Baltimore PTVM held a footwear selling contest at #511 White Marsh. Footwear associates were rewarded for selling adidas styles, and as a result, December sales increased 12% at this location!

•PTVMs continued to push Basketball models, specific the CrazyLight and ProModel. “People go crazy for the Crazy Lights here. I personally have been a nike person all my life and I recently bought a pair of the ProModels. I love the shell top toe as well as the traxion. They feel really good.” John Shorter, FTW Authority, #456 Turnersville “

Merchandising/ Product Feedback:Spotlight on PTVM Selling Days!

Although we are well into the winter season, there have been several product requests for additional Women’s Tennis Apparel replenishment by SA managers: “Customers are still participating in indoor leagues around the city, and Nike and Under Armour don’t have much selection right now. adidas could capitalize in that category.” –Fullerton Ave Apparel

Customers have been requesting a ClimaWarm running pant – Although they have been shopping the galaxy line, runners want more cold-weather running options and tights. “Nike has a women’s fleece-lined pant which has been selling well for $65, there are only 4 left” – T.J., Apparel Mgr, #614 Vernon Hills

PTVMS have been receiving requests for higher end specialty styles and additional running options: “More and more specialty or competitive runners are shopping at SA. Customers would pay $120-$140 for shoes. Our top seller is the new Asics Kayano priced at $140.” – Monica, footwear mgr, #425 Cumberland

Nike has installed new Pro Combat graphics on their apparel fixtures with a picture of soccer goalie Hope Solo.

Nike men’s thermafit hoodies and ¼ zips were a popular item for Holiday sales. The thermafit items were available in 9 colors and had matching pants as well.

Under Armour’s cold gear options have been a top Holiday seller; they’ve promoted their items but adding descriptions on mannequins: “This is Under Armour’s time of year. They thrive with the cold gear compression and hoodies. adidas could compete by having a number of options in cold gear compression.” -Belle, apparel associate, #425 Cumberland.

TSA 531 Tyson’s CornerWomen’s Apparel received a new location! Apparel sales increased 20% for the month of December compared to LY.

• #117 Times Square, up 49% with over $75K of adidas sales

• #8 Fordham Road, up 79% in Dec and topping $675K in sales YTD.

Key Initiatives/ Trainings:• PTVMs continued to audit and monitor Originals placement in the 50 door distribution list for Modell’s, ensuring new receipts have been received and merchandised correctly on the selling floor.

•New York North & South PTVMs organized an adiPure selling contest in the 6 doors carrying the product. Both stores and sales associates had motivation to win: the top store AND the top sales associate were rewarded with adidas giftcards and promotional items. The winning store was #117 Times Square, who also had the top performer, footwear associate Gill, who sold 8 pairs during the contest.

Merchandising/ Account Feedback:Shops that moved to the front of the store included #19 Greeen Acres, now in #2 positioning ahead of Under Armour: Dec Apparel sales increased 103%!PTVM Selling Day Results! #117 Times Square: Apparel sales at Modell’s Times Square #117 for the WE 12.10.11 increased 139% from the same week last year.

Top sellers for the week included the POWER FZ FLEECE (60%ST for Week) and Attitude2 HDY (50%ST for Week).

The adiPure trainer continues to compete with Fila Skeletoes, who continued a $5 sales spiff for employees in December: “adipure is not seeing as much movement, because some of our younger customers are stuck on the Skeletoes. Skeletoes now have a thicker sole which gives additional comfort. Additionally, sales associates were given a free pair to wear on the sales floor.” – Footwear Associate, #6, East 2nd Street.

Footwear associates and managers have been reiterating the need for larger men’s footwear sizes, especially for basketball items. “We receive many requests for larger sizes. If we were provided at least 1 pair of 14 or 15 it would increase our sales. Nike always provides at least 3 pairs of the bigger sizes.” – John, footwear associate, #86, Bay Ridge

Valley Stream #19, Sketchers and Reebok footwear towers

Sketchers and Reebok are using new free standing towers to display their new running options. “We don’t always have room for end caps, but you can put these towers anywhere on the floor, and it really helps to highlight shoes for the customers” Chris Footwear Manager # 19 Valley Stream.

Nike installed new panel graphics at Queen’s Center #58, highlighting their new indoor soccer footwear in the soccer hardgoods display.
