EdApp & Mizuno

A Retail Case Study

Discover how Mizuno — the global leader of sporting equipment and sportswear — leveraged EdApp to easily train their internal teams and retail partners with beautiful, bespoke microlessons that their learners love.

How EdApp helped train thousands of Mizuno’s external retail partners

Along with their internal teams, Mizuno trains externally to major retailers like Rebel Sport and The Athlete’s Foot.

As a leading producer of sporting equipment and sportswear around the globe, Mizuno has a rich heritage and takes pride in its processes of innovation, research, design, and development. Training on the intricacies of Mizuno’s products as well as their history and branding has always been a priority.

Mizuno ensures their internal teams and their external retail floor staff have the most up-to-date and accurate information at their fingertips. Because Mizuno is driven to create highly sophisticated and technical merchandise, product is constantly updating and expanding — including footwear ranges, which are updated every six months.
