Nundies Case
Nundies or no undies are a thin liner that women can use instead of wearing under wear. In 2007 Nundies was available in 242 women’s specialty shops. In 2007 10,206 units of Nundies was ordered. The second quarter (April, May and June) had the highest amount of Nundies ordered with 4,506 units. The third quarter (July, August, September) had the second highest amount of orders with 3,552 units. This was probably because the weather is generally warmer and more women begin wearing shorts, skirts and dresses. After the summer season was over the amount of Nundies ordered drastically dropped to 1,656 units. The poor amount of sales raises the following questions; Are Nundies being sold in the correct marketing channel and what type of advertising should Nundies do when they have a marketing budget of $300,000?
