Marketing Mix

The product that we offer to consumers, we offer high-quality sportswear and we use fabrics for sports, the sports uniform is made of cotton, where this type of fabric can absorb sweat in the body and is suitable for the body, and it is not tight, meaning it is comfortable, and by the geography and location of the State of Qatar, It is characterized by high temperature and dryness. I, Kareem and my friend Jamal, chose light colors that do not absorb sunlight and heat, and at the same time so that our work can practice sports in all seasons, we have allocated clothes for winter consisting of three layers, each of which has its role and function, and the goal of wearing these layers In the winter season, because the first layer of sports uniforms and its function is to rid the body of sweat, the second layer is an insulating layer. As for the third layer, its function is to protect the body from rain and cold winds, and this is what distinguishes our sports products.

Product

In addition, we are very interested in packaging, which is the front of our product in a way that attracts and satisfies our customers, and at the same time we care about the environment if we use recycled cardboard, the company makes big discounts from 50 to 60% ؜. Especially on national occasions such as the Qatar National Day, which falls on December 18 annually.

Price

By promoting our sports products on the Internet and technological social networking, and we have focused on it greatly because this affected generation is very close to technology and because it is the category of the Qatari society that takes a large space from the Z generation. That is, he uses his full knowledge of how to use technology. On. For example, we display our products on the Instagram platform, which contains many features that contribute and help in displaying our product, such as displaying the product and taking over the picture, the comments of the follower or the customer, and we take their notes and opinions that help us improve the quality of our products, and we also display it on YouTube by many people. Those who use this platform, but also we display our products on the newspaper for those who do not know how to use or are far from technology to attract all segments of society.

Promotion

We have our own store in Qatar specifically, next to the Hamad Sports Stadium, and our choice of this place near the stadium was due to the density of population and our own website on the Internet that they like to shop online and has all sections for all kinds of sports and divided more attractively.
