An Analysis of Bass Pro Shops Inc's Strategic Marketing Methods

Even though Dicks is a premier retailer on the market, there are three suggestions that I would give a marketing manager to improve the company’s overall status would be to research newer products and improve existing ones, start a sports nutrition section in their store, and focus on improving employee knowledge on store products and different types of sports training. I believe the company could try and focus more on developing a Dicks’ value brand of sports equipment. This could help athletes training from lower income houses because they would be able to afford all or multiple sets of equipment to enhance their training experience. Expanding or developing a sports nutrition section would help Dicks to break into a market which has been previously untouched by the company. Offering nutritional products would add to the overall superstore concept where a customer can get all their shopping done in one location. And finally to improve customer service Dick 's could start a company program whose priority is to hire retired athletes who have better knowledge of sports and extreme physical training. In general an employee with previous sports training experience is going to have a better feel for what type of equipment is applicable for different training situations. With these improvements I think that Dicks Sporting Goods could enhance their customer satisfaction tremendously and propel the company even higher in its revenue

Product based marketing strategies are probably the most common methodology used to present the products and services to a company’s customers. In this scenario, a business categorizes their products into groups and uses these classifications to present the information to the user (Schneider, 2012). This is different from a customer based marketing strategy where a company groups their customers into classifications that share common characteristics and then targeting each group differently. Some companies perform this classification by providing separate websites for the individual groups, and other businesses provide separate areas on the same website.
