RetailTRAK™ - Running Retail Sales 2009 - Running Specialty Hits the Mark in a Tough Economy!

In a year that has seen sales suffer in most industries and retail channels, running specialty has maintained steady growth. So far in 2009, the entire channel’s retail sales have grown 5% over the same period last year, and show no signs of stopping.

This recorded Webinar will explore some of the factors driving growth in the channel, answering questions such as: Which categories are growing in 2009 and why? What is the effect of gender on purchases and purchasing? Have retail-selling prices shifted in 2009? What are some big-picture trends for the industry so far this year? What is the overall outlook for the running specialty business going into the end of 2009 and beyond, and what are some key areas of growth going forward?

• Size of retail dollars and units
• Growth in unit and dollar sales at retail
• Average retail selling price 
• Key price points
