Abstract: Marketing to consumers has become an art that needs to be further studied, particularly in the sneaker industry. The sneaker product category has exploded in the last few years, forcing retailers to be creative when developing marketing strategies. Technology has allowed consumers to be in control, extending their connection with a particular brand. Consumers have become digitally enabled and can shop at any time and on any channel. For brands to be successful, they must be able to realign their business around the consumer rather than the brand. The use of technology is a competitive force that strengthens competitiveness by using social media as an outlet to reach specific market segments, in this case, the Sneakerhead segment. Consumers will be attracted to brands that treat them intelligently and know their preferences creating a seamless experience at the time of purchase. This literature review will explore different types of marketing, as well as collaborations between brands and celebrities, and how these strategies can influence purchasing behavior.
