This article employs SWOT and 4P analyses to examine Nike’s marketing strategy and ascertain its customer appeal and high turnover. Additionally, it identifies shortcomings in Nike’s approach and proposes solutions. Using Nike as a case study, the article investigates how sports brands can develop practical marketing strategies to secure a strong market position.
