The Story.
Innovator(s)
The Running Well Store is a specialty running shoe store owned by Kathy Gates. The store provides personalized shoe service for those with different foot issues or who need them for running or walking. Their shoes provide stability, guidance, neutrality, and speed.
Problem
How might we work with the Running Well Store to bring awareness to a younger audience which will impact overall sales?
Solution
Our solution is to expand to Overland Park, Kansas to expose younger people to the quality shoes sold by the Running Well Store. The pop up shop concept will showcase the different shoes and allow teens to learn about the shoes and company.
Target Market
Our goal is to target a younger audience for The Running Well store. We aim to reach ages 14-21.
Societal Impact
Our solution will help create brand awareness for younger people and it will expose them to supportive foot wear. Wearing the right type of shoe provides speed for runners and comfort for others.
Next Steps
The next steps we would need to make our idea a reality are to get funding and a local building for our pop up shop concept.
Reflection
This has impacted us and we have built trust and greater communication as a team.
Use of Backer Contributions
We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. We will use our funding towards purchasing a building for our pop up concept and additional expansion.
