History of Adidas

Adidas was initially formed in a house. The founder of the brand is Adolf Dassler who launched the business on a small scale in the house of his mother. This man was later accompanied by his elder brother Rudolf in the year 1924. The name of the company at the initial stages was decided as,” Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory”.

The company was famous for manufacturing the spiked running shoes (spikes) for different kinds of sports activities. Later on, they transformed the old models of spike shoes.  To increase the demand for athletic footwear that is spiked,  he changes the old version of spikes that are made of heavy metal to great quality shoes canvas and rubber.

Dassler asked the U.S. sprinter Jesse Owens to use his handmade spikes at the 1936 Summer Olympic, to which he agreed. In 1949, because of the breakdown of the partnership between the 2 siblings, Adolf created Adidas, and Rudolf created Puma, which became Adidas' business competitor.

Marketing technique of Adidas

Adidas when it comes to the customer's loyalty captures a large market share.

The loyalty towards the brands Adidas, Nike, Inc., Puma AG, and several other sportswear brands was analyzed in a recent study. The study reveals that the buyers did not show a high loyalty towards such brands.

Adidas focused on the concerns of athletes and comes up with the latest fashion in the market.

If we talk about marketing techniques of Adidas in the Pakistani market, the company is putting less effort into promotions in this region. The reason is that the brand has already very strong name all over the world, and the Pakistani customers has built a strong image of the brand.

Even if there are very fewer advertisements, whenever a Pakistani athlete or a common customer thinks of sportswear, he definitely thinks of Adidas.

The brand announces its sale or promotions through social media like Facebook or Instagram, and in this way, it reaches its target clients which increases the overall sales of the brand.

Target market of Adidas in Pakistan

You can see people from the upper-middle-class wearing Adidas. The brand caters the people from the Upper class to the upper-middle class in Pakistan.

When it comes to brand awareness it is argued that people in the lower middle class are not aware of it. The reason behind is the high prices.  This is why the company has to put more effort into advertising so as to place the brand in the minds of potential clients and make it popular among the crowd.

The company usually comes with sales and offers where it makes heavy announcements so as to make it affordable for the people from the lower middle class too.

How will you know if you are paying for the Adidas shoe is original or not?

We know that the people in the Pakistani market are usually dogged by selling them out of the fake product instead of the original.

So, if you are someone who is looking for a pair of Adidas footwear and not so sure if the footwear you are paying for is the original one or not, here is a tip: The tags have the size and product information on the inside of the shoe. This tag is designed at the back of the tongue by the company.

The original Adidas shoes will have tags with various serial numbers for the left and right shoe, but a plus copy product will have the same serial number.

We are sure that by now you must have understood the difference between the original Adidas product and the fake one. Now, whenever you go out to buy an Adidas product you will be all sure what you are looking for.
