Revenue growth is partly due to huge marketing costs.

According to media reports, CONVERSE's 2015 year publicity budget is unchanged from the previous two years, and the "Made by You" is the top priority of the 2015 annual publicity campaign, which will go to the vast majority of publicity budget in the first quarter.

Recently, a huge display board has been erected in the fountain area of Sanlitun, Beijing. This is the space of CONVERSE's latest marketing activity "Made by you". CONVERSE has launched a 98 year opportunity through the Chuck Taylor All Star series to show CONVERSE's photos of 200 canvas shoes collected from the world.

There are both celebrities and fans from the fans. Celebrities include Japanese model Yoshida sand, fashion magazine editor Jefferson Hack and so on.

They will associate with the idol Patti Smith for many years, will associate the talent of Andy Warhol, and even think of their skateboard dreams that have not yet been opened.

But with the rise of brands such as Nike later, CONVERSE began to turn to light fashion area, pay more attention to the market segments, and focus on the development of street fashion/ sports casual series.

In 2003, Nike completed the acquisition of CONVERSE with us $305 million, which, to a certain extent, complements Nike's lack of sports casual.

At present, the United States, China and the United Kingdom are the top three markets of CONVERSE. In China, they will carry out more marketing activities.
