Sports Industry Resolutely Choose To "Turn Around".

In the background of sports industry rising to the level of national strategy, no doubt injecting a strong stimulant into sports brand, under this background, "returning to professional sports" has become the choice of many sports brands.

However, the road of return is far less smooth than expected. Facing the huge consumer groups accumulated before the fashion movement, how to keep the attraction of products after pformation and upgrading has become a problem that many sports brands need to think about.

"To tell you the truth, many sports brands in China are more like fashion brands. If they want to remain competitive in the future market, they will only return products to sports."

It is for this reason that the 361 degree president of the Chinese sports brand, Ding Wu, plans to pform the design idea of the product.

The 361 degree multi brand strategy has enriched the product line and made its positioning ambiguous.

Take its sub brand Innofashion as an example, it is committed to providing a fashionable fashion brand for young people in China. It has not only established a complete series of products covering shoes, clothing, accessories and other four seasons, but also added shirts and jeans with fashionable design styles and styles, and invited sports and acting stars as spokesmen.

"Although this brand is recognized by young people, it is far from the sports blood flowing on the 361 degree, which is the negative effect brought by the multi brand strategy."

Also wanting to return to professional sports is another domestic leading sports brand, XTEP (XTEP).

Unlike other brands that focus on sports, in the past decade or so,

Taking a differentiated route, we gradually changed the product type from professional sport to fashion leisure sport through cooperation with entertainment stars.

However, with the increasing emphasis on sports industry in the country, XTEP's product positioning has been shaken, and returning to professional sports has become the top priority of its future development.

"XTEP is going to change. In the future, we will attach great importance to the field of professional sports."

XTEP brand director Guo Yizhe said.

Adidas (ADIDAS), an international giant in the sporting goods industry, is also making changes in this area.

In early February 2015, Adidas launched "

"The new main advertisement for the theme, the actors in the advertisement did not invite the famous performing stars, but all of them were athletes.

Adidas said it hoped to boost the brand to speed up its return to professional sports by moving positive young people.

In sports industry analyst Yang Yu, sports brand is right.

The re emphasis is directly related to the changes in the domestic environment.

On the one hand, with the improvement of people's attention to health, the demand for professional sports products is increasing. This allows enterprises to see the profit margins; on the other hand, the government has promoted the development of sports industry from the national level, and has asked to actively expand the supply of sports products and services, and encourage the whole people to keep fit.

However, returning to professional sports is easier said than done.

Yang Yu said that in the current situation, it is not realistic for sports brands to abandon fashion sports products completely. After all, these products have accumulated huge consumer groups for brands.

After pformation and upgrading, it is the most difficult problem for all brand enterprises to launch the products that convince consumers quickly to ensure that the original customers do not lose.
