How much is Nike profitting
from those Livestrong bands? Since people appreciate what Nike is doing
for the cancer foundation, they'll want to support Nike for what they're doing by buying Nike stuff. Therefore, Nike is not losing money through the 5 million dollar donation. I wonder what happens after they sold all the rest of the 4 million bands. Does Nike get $1 for every band from the people buying them, thinking that the $1 will go to LAF? Jiyang Chen |

Why would they not do it and risk losing the goodwill of so many potential customers? I guess some people will always think of corporations as evil. Now who pays your salary? |

Jiyang Chen As I understand, Nike gave the bands to LAF.org to sell, plus $1M, then the initial 5M bands ran out and more were made. This would be a flyspec in their ledgers and probably a nice write off and PR to boot. How much do you think the production costs and airing of only one commercial costs them? |

How much is Nike profitting
Nike makes plenty of money since they basicallly use slave labour to produce
their products. I havent purchased Nike products in 10 years. "Alex Rodriguez" wrote in message ... In article , says... from those Livestrong bands?

Does Nike get $1 for every band from the people buying them, thinking that the $1 will go to LAF? I presonally don't buy Nike stuff unless the price is right and it is something I need. So I feel no guilt buying the livestrong band. I'm sure the money is going to LAF. Nike make plenty of money selling $100+ sneakers to people who think they really need them. -------------- Alex |

Vote your beliefs with your wallet too. Bill C The issue is whether one is close to consistent in this behavior with other companies, or whether one uses a relatively convenient boycott against a single high-profile company to appease ones conscience. |

Well, considering that the yellow bands are often given out for free and associated with Nike and other corporate marketing materials without any attachment to LAF fundraising solicitation, I don't see how the whole promotion does much more than sell brand names...and Lance's image. I think we are all being taken for a ride here...and that includes the cancer community. |
