Strategic Initiative 1:<\/strong> Expand the Take-Back Program to Make Circular Shopping More Accessible <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rationale:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This addresses the weakness that Dick\u2019s is not strongly connected to Gen Z and is still seen as a more traditional retailer. At the same time, there is a clear opportunity in sustainability and reuse, especially among younger audiences who care about brands with purpose. By leaning into messaging around the take-back program and reducing cost barriers, the brand can build a stronger emotional connection while also standing out from online competitors that mainly compete on price and convenience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metrics for Success:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase take-back program participation by 15% year-over-year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve brand perception as socially responsible by 10% in Gen Z survey responses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase Gen Z engagement on sustainability campaigns by 10% across digital platforms <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Initiative 2<\/strong>: Expand Experiential Retail to Drive In-Store Engagement and Foot Traffic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rationale:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This responds to the threat of online competition, where convenience and pricing pull people away from physical stores. Dick\u2019s already has a strength in experiential retail, so continuing to invest in in-store experiences and events allows the brand to offer something that online platforms cannot. This helps drive engagement and gives people a reason to show up in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metric for Success:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase in-store foot traffic by 10% during activation periods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase time spent in-store by 10% <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase event attendance and participation by 15%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Initiative 3:<\/strong> Scale and integrate the Take-Back Program Across Retail Locations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rationale:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This builds on the opportunity to make youth sports more accessible while also addressing the threat of economic pressure, where high costs become a barrier for families. By expanding the take-back program and making it more visible in stores, Dick\u2019s can use its strong national presence to increase participation and make the impact feel more real at the community level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metric for Success:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase the volume of gear collected and redistributed by 20%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase in awareness and participation in the program by 15%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increase the number of participating store locations by 10%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
