How does Nike conduct marketing tests for its products?

Nike conducts marketing tests by first creating a limited number of the final product. These products are then tested in the market to gauge consumer response. This allows Nike to make any necessary adjustments before mass commercialization. The aim is to ensure that the product aligns with the company's long-term objectives and won't be a waste of resources.

After development, Nike conducts marketing tests with a limited number of the final products, and if all goes to plan, it's ready for mass commercialization. Most of Nike's time and energy goes into preliminary screening and testing stages to ensure every product is fit for the company and won't be a waste of resources.
