Kmart
Kmart has revamped its footwear department to offer a better fit for younger and multicltural consumers.The retailer relaunched the category in February with five new proprietary collections for adults and children. The additions include extensions of women's apparel lines Attention, Jaclyn Smith and Piper & Blue; Protege basketball shoes; and children's footwear through a license with Mattel's Fisher-Price. A four-page feature in Kmart's Feb. 15 circular trumpeted the new lines, which get endcap placement with brand-specific headers in the footwear department. The campaign also includes dedicated TV spots. Kmart is tailoring selection to the same Hispanic, African-American and urban shoppers who have inspired recent apparel lines.
