Foot Locker Inc. is known globally for its athletic shoes and apparel and has the brand identity to leverage its name by diversifying into other product lines. Foot Locker wants to be known for more than just a “sneaker spot”, but they are missing that extra component or accessory that would broaden their brand image. Men go to Foot Locker locations for shoes and apparel, but their outfit is still not complete since it lacks one necessity-jewelry. Men mostly get their jewelry online or from major department stores. What if Foot Locker could fill in that void? This article analyzes Foot Locker relative to the men's accessories market. Jewelry is the oldest way of expression and combined with sneakers, it could be Foot Locker’s ticket to growth and continued success. We will discuss the possibility of Foot Locker starting their jewelry product extension that will be targeting their already known male demographic. Through the application of market research, creating an assortment plan, and global market research it is hypothesized that Jewelry by Foot Locker could become a great addition to the Foot Locker brand. If done properly, this jewelry extension could be the newest way Foot Locker improves their image and profits.

The focus of this chapter is to provide scientific evidence to luxury businesses for competing in a competitive global market, providing for further research opportunities of old and new distribution channels. Thanks to a qualitative method, it emerged that distribution strategies implemented by firms operating in luxury markets are typical and specific with respect to firms in other markets and represent a source of competitive advantage. Four phenomena have characterized distribution in this area in recent years: a growing investment by luxury brands in direct distribution activities; the integration between distribution and communication activities; the development of the digital channel in luxury markets; and lastly, the growing integration between User Generated Content and distribution channels. As the distribution variable influences the constitution of brand identity, old and new distribution channels have to be differently articulated according to the exclusivity of the brand.

Although tourism research often involves the phenomenon of ‘willingness to pay premium prices’, it has under-researched the relevant propensity with respect to brand identification in the hospitality sector as a component of tourism activity overall. This study examines the perceptions of 328 holidaymakers leaving Athens, Greece. The findings unveiled relationships between multiple elements of brand identity, such as brand image, price and quality, need for belonging, need for uniqueness and the conformity to consumption trend. Moreover, they suggest that the stronger the brand identification, the less likely holiday makers are to pay premium prices. In addition to its theoretical and managerial contribution, the research presents relevant implications and provides suggestions for further study.

This paper explores online and social media users’ contributions to place identity creation, challenging the role and importance of various actors in the place brand identity and place brand image formation process. Findings arise from a content analysis of 149 separate photographs of a unique event that takes place on the Greek island of Corfu as part of the Orthodox Easter festival. Findings are also informed by autoethnographic reflexivity from the researcher’s own participation in and observation of the event, and 84 images from the researcher’s own photographic record of the event. Comparisons are drawn between social media users’ images and those communicated by the local Municipality through 7 relevant images reproduced in the official Easter on Corfu brochure. The images uploaded by social media users were not vastly different in terms of content from those of the local authority, and were also similar to those taken by the researcher. Perhaps it may be time for place branders to not only voluntarily give up their perceptions of control over at least part of the identity formation process and encourage contributions from wider stakeholders, but to no longer perceive them as mere consumers of the brand, but also as its co-creators. However, this will require another shift in academic understanding of place brand identity and place brand image, which may be difficult to achieve considering that there has only recently been reached a certain level of agreement within the extant literature about the various definitions of terms associated with these constructs.
