Executive Summary cont’d With a budget of $10,000,000, 40% of our budget allocated to Cable TV
ads, with :30 sec units on ESPN, Discovery Channel and the History Channel during evening and weekend primetime. These vehicles were chosen because of the higher viewing rates among the target market. Thus, 20% of our budget will go into Banner Ads on Google Maps and Yahoo! Mail. These websites were chosen based on number of visits to these sites by motorcyclists. These sites are used as reference for weather and updated news. We will spend 25% of the budget on outdoor media specifically in major cities in the southern region. The remaining 15% of the budget will go into full page spreads in Car and Driver Magazine and Parade Carriers Newspaper. These publications have the most readers among motorcyclists.
Also, we suggest implementing social media tactics including viral hashtags and word of mouth through Twitter and Facebook to increase reach in prospects.

The HOG life

New campaign targeting to young adults and other market minorities – known as the “outreach market” Harley introduced a new motorcycle for the outreach market called the Iron 883 Sportster and priced it at $7,999 for target appeal

Problems
Harley has a very specific market, pertaining to mostly white men above age 40 in the middle and above financial class.
HD only markets to about 40% of motorcycle owners in the United States.
The HOG theme overshadows the overall brand of what HD has to offer other demographics.
![Page 27: Harley-Davidson Media Plan](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55d084e6bb61ebf23e8b4580/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Opportunities The opportunity to create a new ad campaign marketing to males and females in a younger age group and from a different background than the normal.
To market to people in different financial situations than the usual by making their motorcycles seem more beneficial fuel wise.
Make HD seem more like a road bike for day-to-day use instead of open road cruising.

Brad is a typical twenty six year old guy from the south who knows how to hold his own. He wears a hard hat and steel –toed boots to his job site and after the day is done swings by the flower shop to buy a single red rose for his newly wedded wife at home. There’s no “bun in the oven” so he’s not looking for a minivan just yet. He wants a vehicle with sleek lines and sex appeal that only he and his wife can travel on from coast to coast with nothing but their backpacks on.
