(Nike News, 2015).? Nike is dedicated to reaching women as an important market. Nike utilizes geographic factors to segment the market. Nike is an international leader in footwear that does business all over the world.

NIKE Brand and Converse sales in the United States accounted for approximately 41% of total revenues? (Security and Exchange Commission, 2020).? Europe and China are also big markets for Nike. Nike promotes different ads in different geographic locations to make sure they target all their different geographic locations effectively.
Nike also segments their market by psychographic factors and focuses on people who live an active lifestyle.

Nike attempts to attract the customer who lives for activity who are at the gym everyday or that live for a sport.
