Ch. 10 - Product Concepts

Nike is mostly known for its sneakers other than their other products such as clothing but Nike decided to take a chance with another product it has been done before so I won’t say it is new but it would e new to Nike. The product is called the Nike fuel Band. This product targets the health enthusiasts it counts all of the activities that the owner does such as running, walking all of the body movements it counts. With the movement recorded it changes it to Nike Fuel, the fuel is counted the same way for everybody no matter your age, weight or height with that you can compete against friends. With the sponsors that Nike posses they of course give the product to be advertised by the famous athletes under Nike like Lebron James, Kevin Durant and so much more even Lance Armstrong before they terminated the contract.
The fuel band has grown to be very popular among the athletic population. The band has the ability to show your progress on the computer even on your iphone/ipod in the form of charts and graphs. It allows you to set goals for yourself and they give you virtual rewards. The band allows you to play with friendly competition and because everyone’s band calculates the same information it’s all equal. You can challenge friends to beat their scores. It is mostly popular with the young adults due to its design and it also is a watch, it targets the health aficionado but it wouldn’t hurt to try and bring in other consumers with the fashionable products. As with all Nike products the Fuel Band boxing is made up of completely recycled waste. Nike uses the colors green, yellow, and red in their graphs which shows up on the actual item and on the box of the Fuel Band which the colors relate to Red = Low Points, Yellow = Decent Amount Of Points, and Green = Good Amount, these colors blend in very well with the sleek design of both the actual Fuel Band and the boxing.
