This is great joyous news for consumers of Nike products. Today, the US sporting manufacturing company in a press release re-launches its presence on Android and on the Google Play store with Nike+ app. Nike previously withheld its app for a very long time but has finally rescinded its decision to fully start afresh.
The new Nike+ app creamy savors the heart of what the company focuses on; which is pure selling its products.
How does it work?
Shopping is basically the only thing the Nike+ app is designed for. Hence, customers will have to download the app first, and fill out their profile which includes, your contact information, favorite sports, and shoe size - the app further generates personalized recommendations for you from the resulting information you filled stored on Nike's online shop.
Moreso, users can customize their profile based on product lines they enjoy, call a sales agent, or book a face-to-face meeting if they are in Ney York, Los Angeles, or Chicago. There's also a more generalized store locator for retail partners.
More goodies also come to you like free shipping if your orders made from the app.
You can download the (Nike+) app free on Android 4.4 or higher. However, at the moment the only thing that's missing is a Google+/Facebook login - if you don't already have a Nike account. You'll need to create one from scratch.
