Will Dick's new campaign sell workout gear to couch potato women?



After acknowledging that women now account for 50% of sales, Dick's Sporting Goods thought that they should do actually do something about it.  In addition to expanding floor space devoted to women, they have created a new niche campaign targeting them.

The campaign insight?  "Women juggle a lot."

The :60 second commercial focuses on women finding ways to fit exercise into their busy lives, but we know that the vast majority of people buying athletic wear do not exercise.  So will this approach work?

Look at the commercial here...

And discuss.
