nanotechnology shoe Called NeverWet. Although the shoes
market is maturing, the nanotechnology products category is still
growing. NeverWet will be positioned by the slogan Expect
moreindicating that the brand offers more in the way of
desirable product features and benefits at a competitive price.
Winners is taking advantages:
Company and Product Attention
A product launch generates attention. When Winners issue a
press release that gets published. People read about Winners
new product and, at the same time. Learn about or get introduced
to Winners. People often click through to Winners website when
reading the story online to learn more about the product;
potential customers might read up on Winners, especially if it is
relatively unknown. This attention can lead to a larger customer
base and more sales for both the new product and other of
Winners products.
Increase Revenue
When Winners launch a new product successfully and it sells
well, it can cover the development and launch costs -- generating
a profit for Winners. If the product is evergreen -- something that
people will need or use for a long time -- the revenue stream that
begins with the product launch can be consistent for many years
Company Reputation
If Winners newly launched product sells well or fills an
unaddressed consumer need -- particularly one ignored by other
companies Winners can become an industry leader with a
reputation for developing industry-changing products and
bringing them to market. When consumers or target customers
trust Winners, Winners next product launch is likely to sell well
initially, based on the success of Winners previous product and
Winners overall company reputation.
New Business Relationships
A product launch can generate new partnerships or business
relationships. If Winners company is a startup, a successful
product launch can lead to larger companies making offers to
acquire Winners company. Others might want to invest in

want to form a business relationship to sell Winners product to
more people in a revenue-sharing model.

advantage that will allow NeverWet to grow in the market.

Channels and Logistics Review
The purchase of Shoes by Nike left a huge hole in the independent distributor
system. NeverWet will be distributed through an independent distributor to a
network
of retailers in Egypt. This strategy will avoid some of the head-on competition

As the brand gains acceptance, channels will expand into larger grocery chains, convenience
Stores, and unique locations relevant to the target customer segment.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threat


Analysis
NeverWet has several powerful strengths on which to build, but its major
weakness is lack of brand awareness and image. Major opportunities
include a growing market and consumer trends targeted by NeverWet
product traits. Threats include barriers to entry posed by limited retail
space, as well as image issues for the bottled water industry.
Table A1.3 summarizes NeverWet main strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats.

Strengths
NeverWet can rely on the following important strengths:
1. Premium quality: NeverWet with the nanotechnology NeverWet is
the best quality offered in market maintain the best advantage in the Egy
market and best customer service
2. Superior customer value: create a long-term customer relationship by
improve and maintain customer channels to achieve the highest
customer satisfaction This success was achieved by starting small and
focusing on gaps in the marketplace.

3. Technology: with new features that nanotechnology provided thats


added a competitive advantage and by new options that our company
offers you can now order special order from our website
4. Antiestablishment image. The big brands have decent products and
strong distribution relationships. But they also carry the image of the
large, corporate establishments. Winners has achieved success with an
underdog image while remaining privately held. Nike and Adidas were
built on this same image, but both are now owned by major multinational
corporations.

Weaknesses
1. Lack of brand awareness. As an entirely new brand, NeverWet will
enter the market with limited or no brand awareness. The affiliation with
Shoes will be kept at a minimum in order to prevent associations
between NeverWet and other brands. This issue will be addressed
through promotion and distribution strategies.
2. Limited budget. As a new company, Winners has much smaller funds
available for promotional and research activities we cannot take risks in
the beginning
Opportunities
1. Growing market. Although growth in the overall market for Nano
technology has slowed to some extent, its current rate of growth in the 3
percent range is relatively strong among shoe categories. Enhanced shoes
with nanotechnology now is almost more demanded in shoes factories
and maintain more abilities than normal shoes
2. Competitive advantage: using nanotechnology has a big major
advantage because you will have more features than competitors so you
will achieve more customer satisfaction
3. Customer Demand Segment: in this segment NeverWet target the
most demand wants and what customer needs to fit the best product
produced and best quality maintain
4. Antiestablishment image. Millennials (born between 1977 and 2000)
maintain a higher aversion to mass marketing messages and global
corporations than do Gen Xers and Baby Boomers.

Threats
1. Rumors: competitors will try to make NeverWet not get trusted by
consumers so they will maintain rumors like videos of copied
product not doing our promises or features that we hope that it
delivered as its our promise to our consumers
2. Costs: since the aggregate demand in nanotechnology is increasing
dramatically that will increase the cost of producing NeverWet uses
special and high quality ,best nanotechnology maintain that will
provide the highest quality available
