Brand Analysis
Who is in the Harley-Davidson Family? Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
H-D Financial Services (HDFS)
Buell Motorcycles (Datamonitor, 2010)
How might these brands be leveraged? Focus on one bike model (Sportster) and the myriad
accessories available for Harley-Davidson products
Harley-Davidson name needs no increased awareness, the brand must work to change perceptions of their products and riders
Financial services will not receive as much attention with the current economic state and consumer credit woes

Brand Analysis cont’d.
Values Tell the Truth. Be Fair. Keep Your Promises. Respect the Individual.
Encourage Intellectual Curiosity. (Harley-Davidson.com)
Vision We fulfill dreams inspired by the many roads of the world by
providing extraordinary motorcycles and customer experiences. We fuel the passion for freedom in our customers to express their own individuality. (Harley-Davidson.com)
Is having a strong brand an advantage or disadvantage? Both. They have struggled over the years to acquire new customers
without alienating current ones. Harley-Davidson must tread lightly to respect the bond between enthusiasts and new riders
Perhaps the brand needs a shake-up. There are two main types of customers for the brand - Hells Angels and middle aged white guys. Harley-Davidson has a variety of products for every type of rider (and is eager to design new ones to cater to different types).

Market Analysis cont’d.

Loyalty and advocacy levels are high among motorcycle
owners when compared with owners in the automotive and
boating industries. Motorcycle owners are strong advocates of
their brand and dealer (Tews, 2007)
The U.S. boasts an increasingly large Hispanic population - a
recent report from Pew Hispanic Center stated that U.S.
Hispanics have represented more than half of U.S. population
growth since 2000 (Hirsh, 2009)
In past, marketers have been tempted to ignore this group - or,
at the least, did little to tailor messaging to it - but it is no
longer financially wise to do so

Key Problems
Average customer age is 47 (Harley-Davidson.com)
Harley-Davidson’s position is particularly precarious as younger riders choose sport bikes -- sleeker, more aerodynamic, high-performance motorcycles over classic Harley cruisers (Tirella, 2009)
Harley-Davidson isn’t heavily courting the Hispanic consumer but achieved some success with the 2010 “Harlistas” campaign (Magazine.org, 2010)
About 80% of all new Harleys are bought on borrowed money. ½ of those are financed through H-D Financial Services (Boyle, 2008)

Marketing Objectives
To increase trial amongst potential Harley-Davidson
consumers
To increase Harley-Davidson sales by 17% in the Hispanic
market by the end of the campaign
To increase brand awareness especially with younger
Hispanic consumers

Rationale for Marketing Objectives
Harley-Davidson focuses on customers they already have
rather than on customer that will support their brand in
the future
The internet and mobile usage consistently increases
among Hispanics
A greater portion of the Hispanic community is younger
while the greater portion of the Harley community is
older

Celebrate the roots of the Hispanic heritage within
America

Rationale for Communication Objectives
Harley had a chance to expand the Harlista community,
but they haven’t had strong support after the initial push
The brand has worked more at marketing to existing
customers than to future ones
An expensive product with such brand loyalty requires a
more interactive experience

Sample Ad Copy
When my parents first came to this country, they didn’t know anyone. They had to work day and night to support
our family. We stuck together through these lean times, and my siblings and I have more opportunities than our
parents could possibly dream of.
My sister’s dream was to open a restaurant. My brother’s dream was to be an accountant. I dreamt bigger.
My dream was to rule the road. I wanted to see the looks on people’s faces as I rolled down the street. I loved
engines and dreamed of endlessly tinkering in the garage. I wanted a hobby, something that expressed me. I wanted
to have a family that I could rely on and who I could trust. I wanted the American dream.
I wanted a Harley-Davidson. I became a Harlista.
Visit your local Harley dealer to learn more about realizing your American dream today.

Out-of-Home Ads
Bathroom ads are designed
for bars and restaurants,
where this demographic is
likely to hang out with
friends or relax for a bit.
And everyone goes to the
bathroom.
This is a good place to get
someone thinking about
what they do with their
“me” time, and introducing
the idea of a bike while
having a little fun.

Mall ads are designed to hit a guy out
shopping with his family. He might not get
to try anything on, or he might be tired of
trying on the same old thing… either way,
he’ll have to try this on once!
The bike is a mock (and should not be able
to mechanically run or have items pilfered)
that stands by itself on a rig.
Out-of-Home Ads cont’d.
64
The bike itself has a pressure sensitive switch in the seat which triggers a fan to
blow on the face of the ‘rider’ so they can feel the wind in their hair, and of course
built-in speakers to hear that Harley-Davidson roar.
Ideally, this rig would also include a kiosk station where shoppers could create their
own bikes, change the sounds coming from the bike and enter the “Viva Harlistas”
Sweepstakes.
Other functions: taking a photo of yourself on the bike and directly uploading it to
a social network, and doing the same with any bike designs created while at the
kiosk.

Out-of-Home Ads
cont’d.
This campaign employs a
parking lot takeover.
At sponsored events, signs
will be posted designating the
closest spots as “Harley
Parking Only.” Spaces for “All
Other Bikes” are just beyond
that, and the spots for
“cagers” (people in cars) are
the furthest from the event.
A parking lot takeover will
increase the effectiveness of
sponsorship of unique events
such as sports games and
“Viva Harlistas” Hispanic
Heritage Month celebration.

speakers). (Sonderup, 2004)
• Raises awareness and spurs excitement
• Measurable (Clow & Baack, 2010)

Summary- Why It Works
63% of Hispanics are younger than 35, with a median age of 27 (univision.net)
The Campaign speaks to Hispanics, especially in places that they regularly visit like malls and bars
It connects to their unique demographic
It has a more personalized message with an emotional appeal
58% of Univision.com users click on Internet ads (univision.net)
43% of online Hispanics click on Internet ads (univision.net)
The interaction with the brand will help Harley-Davidson learn more about their potential customers from the people who know them best (themselves!)
Univision.com users are more than twice as likely (105%) as non-Hispanics online to make a purchase based on an Internet ad
Overall, the campaign meets all the objectives: to build brand awareness, increase trial and increase sales among Hispanics

Where or what do you do to escape?

“During the summer I enjoy being outdoors. I love going on “road trips”
during the weekends, visiting different sites and attractions around the state
(e.g. festivals, national parks, museums).”
I draw/design while listening to good music
I like to take a walk around the park/lake
I take my dog out for a run and I like to go to the beach
Travel
Go online and read interesting news or look at pictures
Travel to Europe or Central America
I de-stress at the gym
I exercise as it blocks out any outside distractions.

Nothing… I’m going to start a savings account

Pay one month in advance for my car note
Car
Pay my student loan! Haha
An embroidery machine
A trip
I wouldn’t buy anything, I would just want to pay off my credit card bills
Nothing, it will go straight into my savings account
I typically pay some bills and save some for “a rainy day,” but,
if I were to buy something it would be clothes.

What influences you to buy a big ticket item?
87
Friends and price.
If it's entertaining or if it
has some value to my
business.
The internet, I will do a lot
of research on the item I
have in mind.
It really has be a necessity
as opposed to a "want."
Status quo
The prize
The price! The items value
must be worth more then
the sticker price.

What are your favorite ads? Why?
89
Apple: fun, different.
Doritos's commercials because they
are hilarious!
I like ads with a lot of music. I love
music and many times music
influences me to make a purchase.
Doritos- most of them are funny &
make me smile. I think Coca-Cola
always gets to the sensitive side of
the consumer, especially that ad
targeted to Latinos, where the mom
is trying to learn English & her son
gives her a Coke so that she can take
a break.
The Truth ads, I think they do a great
job communicating the facts to
people.
I love perfume ads....They seem to
evoke an emotion that I otherwise
wouldn’t have known to uncover.
Gatorade & Nike because of the
power of the message which is
designed to motivate you to do your
best.
The E-Trade ads are pretty clever, I
could see my nephew doing
something like that.
Ralph Lauren for men print ads. I like
the clean and chic look.
Illinois Lottery “Kiss Me I’m Rich” and
GEICO ads. The ads are written well,
entertaining, and very memorable.

What do you think about motorcycles?
90
They are dangerous, yet fun.
I like them. It is more of a hobby.
I love them. I owned one last year, I will be buying a new one this year.
They are a whole lot of fun!
Motorcycles are fun, and the first thing I think about when someone says motorcycle is Harley-Davidson.
I think they’re fun and bring out a nice adrenaline rush.
I think that they are enjoyable, as long as they are used properly and safely.
I love motorcycles. I grew up riding mini-bikes and dirt bikes since I was 10 years old. For my 12th birthday my
father bought me a Kawasaki 100cc Enduro motorcycle.
Motorcycles are my passion. I would rather ride a motorcycle than drive my car.
I think everybody should learn how to ride a motorcycle!

How much is a reasonable price to pay for a motorcycle?
91
No more than $15000$6000
$45000$6K-$10k
$15k-30k
Depends on the size and type of motorcycle you’re looking for. I’m willing to invest
more for the “right” motorcycle with custom accessories and features. My price range
for a new heavy-weight cruiser motorcycle is around $20k.
I would say you can easily spend between
$20-40,000 depending on the type of motorcycle you're looking for.
Depends on how bad you want the bike, for me, I would say probably $7k...
Now, if we are talking about detailing it, then, I guess it would be priceless since the bike
would be like "your baby"

What would be your reasons for buying a motorcycle?
92
I wouldn’t
To have another option of transportation, for pleasure
They are a great leisure item.
If I would buy one, I see a motorcycle as fun and a lot of freedom.
Probably wanting to take a road trip across the US
Enjoy cruising the city and enjoy the sport.
Adrenaline rush & sense of freedom that comes along with the ride
Freedom! It's just you and the road, you ride to forget about everything else going on in
the world. No suites to wear, no worrying about your hair or anything like that. For those
few minutes or hours you're completely free.
Thrill, excitement, rush

Would you rather customize your
motorcycle yourself or get it standard?
93
Buy it customized already. I don't have time to customize it myself.
Customize it!
Customize it
myself, that way I
could really get
what I want, and
the bike would be a
reflection of me.
I'd rather get it standard Definitely customize
Customize. Absolutely.
I feel like when you customize it to you, it can decrease the risk of
accidents. Customize it to your height and taste. Height, weight.
Latino – Absolutely. Latinos tend to do that all the time. They
show their individuality with cars. You’re see the flags on their
rear view mirrors. I know with motorcycles they try their best to
be distinctive than American motorcyclists.
A little both…when I’m doing my research online, I view motorcycles with some nice
features and accessories (e.g. custom paint job, chrome parts, etc) as a standard package
but I want the option to create my own bike to personalize my motorcycle.

How did you first hear about Harley-Davidson?
95
I saw someone riding one during the summer when I was young.
On TV
Commercials
My uncle drove up to my house in one.
Watching TV around the age of 13.
In college I had an internship with Harley so I got an opportunity to know more about the company
Promotional Advertisements
My first recollection of a H-D motorcycle was when I was 7 years old. I saw a teenager driving his black ‘72 Harley Shovel Head around the neighborhood. It was loud and intimidating… and I fell in love with it! Even though my first motorcycle was a Kawasaki dirt bike, I always dreamed of owning a Harley. And in 1997, I bought my first Harley-Davidson… a black FLSTF Fat Boy with lots of chrome and straight pipes.

97
No – 2
Yes – 5
Yes. I've visited the Harley-Davidson location in Forest
Park on Harlem Ave.
No way.
Yes, I’ve been to a dozen H-D stores all over the country.
Every time I visit a new city, either for work or vacation, I
always stop by the local H-D store to check out the bikes
and merchandise.

What do you think about Harley-Davidson?
98
They make motorcycles and motorcycle accessories
A huge brand… with huge followers, but expensive
They are over-priced and over-rated.
Fun!
They're awesome!
I think that it is definitely a household name in motorcycles. It’s classic and a very great taste of its kind.
I think they have neat products and motorcycles
I think their bikes are nice, not my style though
Harley-Davidson is the best American-made heavy-weight motorcycle in the world. To some it’s the “Cadillac” of motorcycles, to others it’s the “muscle-car” of motorcycles, but to me Harley-Davidson is THE ONLY motorcycle for me. It’s the motorcycle that every man or woman dreams about… and it’s the only motorcycle that can make your dreams come true.

What would you change about Harley-Davidson?
99
Nothing
The price
Their pricing
Nothing, it is a classic
The price… but of course that would not be possible
because then it would lose some of it's value, so
therefore, I wouldn't change anything about Harley
I would change its marketing strategy to attract a more
younger audience/purchasers
Focus on everyone not just a certain class
![Page 100: Strengths for Univision - WordPress.com · Introduction Harley Davidson Motorcycles has struggled over the years to acquire new customers.

What would you change about Harley-Davidson?
(cont’d.)
100
Harley-Davidson’s image has changed from being a “blue-collar” everyman’s American motorcycle that once was
affordable to an affluent, professional, over-priced motorcycle that only a few can enjoy. It’s gone from blue collar
to white collar status… which is going to hurt H-D in the long run when its core audience, white middle-aged
men, begin to retire from riding.
The current push to attract women and minorities seems like a last ditch effort to save the brand from dying off.
Instead, they should be pushing for a younger audience to invest in “affordable” garage-style bikes to compete
with Japanese racing bikes that seem to be popular with younger riders.
But how can younger riders afford a H-D when they can spend $5k or $6k on a Japanese motorcycle.
I wouldn’t change anything…
except for the price.
There’s a joke that says the
initials H. D. stands for
“Hundred Dollar” because the
average cost for parts and
accessories is $100.
Buying a Harley is an expensive luxury item…
right now with the down economy, buyers are
hesitant to make that “big ticket” purchase, but
if they offered 0% discount, cash back incentives,
high trade-ins or other offers to entice buyers,
it might increase sales.

Did you get the message that the ad was trying to
convey? If so, what was that message?
145
Ad 2 -Yes. There are many styles of the Sportster. You can personalize the bike to fit your personal style and preference.
Ad 4 -Yes. Freedom, the open road, and endless possibilities.
Ad 5 -Yes. There are enough owners of Harleys they could be the entire population of an entire state. Also, that Harley is like family
Ad 3 -Yes. Feel the wind of the open road in your hair while riding a Harley.
Ad 3 -Yes. Freedom, liberation, impulsiveness.
Ad 12 -Yes. It was more branding than anything. But that's not to say that you can't add a tagline or something else (website?) to it. The execution is unique and edgy which tells me that HD is unique and edgy
Ad 4 -Yes. Your imagination will take you as far as you let.
