Nike, announced it’s, ‘In bed with Kaepernick deal’, Just, AFTER, they signed the contract with the NFL Nike wants the best of both worlds. (For the Panty in a bunch, a rather standard decision foe any business, get what you think you can get) The few burning, just laughable, because they already spent the money. It won’t affect the bottom line, that they won’t buy again.
The target is: People, that say, ‘Mommie Mommie I Want’, and mommie buys. (They don’t have a clue, who knelt and who did not, and why, they just see older kids in school, and they want to be sheep-el) People that have a bunch of tattoos, designer cloths, Diamond earrings, and stand in line for food stamps. People that beat-up, kill, other people, to get their shoes. People, that start to melt, if they don’t get absolutely everything they want, ‘given’, to them. People that belong to a, group, which ’someone’ said, ‘everyone in this group buys red nikes’. ‘ ‘ ‘ and another said blue, and another said white, and another said green with strips, etc, etc, etc, Those are the people, that BUY, Nike, then throw them away, because they are not perfectly clean anymore, and buy another pair. That, is a big chunk of money. Just like the big chunk, from the Signing the NFL Contract.
Also, I am sure that the, ‘FREE”, advertising was a big part of the decision. I thought the amount would be 50-60 Million. It has been said: “…The same firm estimates, among others, that Nike has received about 165 million in free,…” Don’t care whatever the product is, or whatever association the product maker has. 165 MILLION in FREE advertising nice little chunk.
“… Can anyone think of a company that has failed recently due to boycott, or due to the choice they made for a temporary advertising campaign?…”
Don’t have any data on any fortune 500 companies. Do have, ‘realistic observed’, data on a small town Liquor store. Sm Town, was a store, the owner did good, he got sick, a new person bought it. That person, was doing good for a couple of years. Then Just before the election, I was in their as was another customer. I talked to the other customer, and remarked, I had heard NO ONE, offering any support for HRC. The other customer offered the same observation. Suddenly, the new owner spoke up, (first time I ever heard him talk political) He said: “well I support HRC, given her money, and will vote for her” As the two of up had already paid, we just walked out. That was Late Sept 16. I know I, spoke to others about the insentient. (Sure the other person did also) By end of Oct, just driving by Ray Charles, could see business was greatly down. By the end of Nov, he was closed. (Christmas & 4th July, are to of the biggest times in that industry)
So a, un-announce, no ’social’ media, no FB/Twitter/Etc comments made. A ’Snowflake’ business, just could not stay in business.
Interesting, did anyone keep track of the coffee shop, that publicly said, ’no cops’. Wonder if their business is up or down after making that announcement.
