Jordan Retro XII Midnight Madness SaleFebruary 13, 2004

The Air Jordan XII (12) was originally released in November 1996 – the season Michael would lead the Bulls to their 4th NBA Championship despite not winning the MVP trophy. The shoe was the first of its kind to use Zoom Air cushioning technology and the design was inspired by the flag of the Japanese Army.

The latest installment in this line of releases commenced last Friday, February 13, with the launch of the Jordan 12 (playoff edition) in black/white. It marked the fourth J12 re-release and the first 34th Street Midnight Sale of 2004.

The following report provides an overview of our marketing support and also addresses the event’s efficacy, retail functionality, overall performance and any areas of improvement.

Confirm size allocations and ensure receipt beforehand.Store reportedly “missed out” on $10K in sales due to lack of appropriate small sizes in Men’s and Kid’s.

Reserve-A-Pair Regulations.R-A-P product must be picked up during the first hour of event. Beyond that, it hinders sales-force and aggravates customers.

Complementary accessories and apparel are still key.In order to truly raise the bar, this year’s efforts will need to focus on up-sales and incremental purchases beyond just Jordan footwear.

Starclub Gold Education & EnrollmentRoughly 22% of event attendees were Gold Members. Ambassadors and Associates passed out Starclub forms to enroll new members and future events will continue to stress this initiative to potentials.

CompetitionThe event at Modell’s dwarfed in FA’s shadow but we should definitely expect other competitor’s to imitate. As midnight options increase, we will need to enhance our events.
