Sporting Goods

Spalding has recruited a team of consumer packaged goods experts to overhaul the company's merchandising efforts and put P-O-P in the starting line-up.

Dunlop Slazenger recently introduced a global promotion for its line of tennis balls. The three-tier modular units feature several top tennis players, each recommending Dunlop tennis balls. The corrugated displays are easy to set up and can merchandise six different types of balls, depending on each retailer's needs. A product highlight feature demonstrates the benefits of using Dunlop tennis balls in the language of each market. The displays rolled out in January to mass merchant and specialty stores across the UK, France, Germany, Holland, Asia and the United States.
