• “Training  is  the  opposite  of  hoping.”  • “Everything  you  need  is  already  inside.  Just  do  it.”  • “The  only  one  who  can  tell  you  ‘you  can’t’  is  you.  And  you  don’t  have  to  listen.”  

• “All  your  life  you  are  told  the  things  you  cannot  do.  All  your  life  they  will  say  you’re  not  good  enough  or  strong  enough  or  talented  enough;  they  will  say  you’re  the  wrong  height  or  the  wrong  weight  or  the  wrong  type  to  play  this  or  be  this  or  achieve  this.  THEY  WILL  TELL  YOU  NO,  a  thousand  times  no,  until  all  the  no’s  become  meaningless.  All  your  life  they  will  tell  you  no,  quite  firmly  and  very  quickly.  AND  YOU  WILL  TELL  THEM  YES.”  

• “That’s  right.  I’m  out  of  here.  Do  not  chase  me  down  or  text  me  or  try  to  talk  me  into  going  out  to  lunch.  I  don’t  have  time  to  figure  out  if  I  have  time  for  a  run.  I’m  just  going.  The  world  will  not  fall  apart  in  my  absence.  I  might  miss  somebody’s  birthday  cake  or  a  discussion  of  last  night’s  season  finale.  Even  if  I  do,  who  cares.  I’m  coming  back  with  a  state  of  mind  three  coffees,  two  flirtatious  emails  and  a  week  of  vacation  can’t  buy.  Just  do  it.”

PRICING  STRATEGY    Nike  spends  huge  money  on  marketing  to  bring  its  products  top  of  the  line.  Customer  buys  nike  product  as  of  the  symbols.  Symbols  defines  that  top  athletics  use  nike.  Nike  uses  Value  based  pricing  and  Price  Leadership  Strategy  in  which  company  expects  that  customer  will  pay  higher  price  and  get  quality  product,  which  has  longer  life  cycle  than  any  other  product  down  the  same  line  of  price.    It  also  attracts  people  attention  through  different  discounts,  membership;  seasonal  sales  to  mark  down  price  to  get  rid  of  unwanted  stock  etc.    Nike  Free,  Nike  Air  Make,  Nike  Shox,  Nike  Air  Jodan,  Nike+,  Nike  Airforce1  and  Nike  Kobe  are  bestsellers  in  India,  USA,  Canada,  Europe  and  China      Nike  uses  Psychological  pricing  the  theory  that  certain  prices  have  a  psychological  and  emotional  impact.  The  retail  prices  are  often  expressed  as  “odd  prices”  which  is  little  less  than  round  number.  For  Example  price  like  3999.99,  299.99  here  customer  thinks  that  they  are  spending  3000,  200  instead  of  4000,  300.    Nike  also  uses  Segmented  pricing,  through  this  theory  nike  target  different  customer  of  different  ages.  Nike  make  Air  Max  for  adult  and  children  and  the  price  are  different  for  each.  But  the  cost  to  make  an  adult  sneaker  versus  a  children’s  sneaker  does  not  vary  much.  So  here  they  have  profit.
