Harley Davidson Case Study

?Harley-Davidson: At Last? as presented in Hartley?s Marketing Mistakes and Successes presents the circumstances around HD?s near collapse and since rinse to near mythic success. This case is a great example of marketing myopia; HD saw them-selves as ?full-size motorcycles? manufactures, not in the transportation, or even the entertainment industry. They believed no one bought motorcycles for transportation, but rather for leisure time use. Like the automotive industry of the time, Harley-Davidson thought its cure customers would buy its products versus those of any of its major competitors, chiefly because they were all foreign. Interesting enough this was true, HD annual unit sales never changed; they just did not grow with either the market or even the population. In the 1950s motorcycle sales were approximately 50,000 units annually, of which HD had 70%. By 1971, there were nearly 4 million motorcycles registered in the US and HD market share had dropped to 5%. Harley-Davidson was founded in 1903 by four men in a wooden shed experimenting with the internal combustion engine. By the beginning of the?60s, HD had practically wiped out all of its domestic competitors. Its motorcycles were used by nearly every police department in America. This was soon to change. The president of Harley-Davidson at the time, William E. Davidson was the son of the founder.read more

Motorcycle association hosts rockin’ party

This summer, the Cordillera Motorcycle Association had its annual “Rider Cup” blowout at the Summit Course in Cordillera.

Three days and evenings of fun were in store for all who participated, with the emphasis on golf, fine food and good wine, rather than trekking around the country on their motorcycles.

The first day, Senior PGA pro Jim Colbert tooled around the course handing out free shots (the type with the golf club, not a shot glass) to improve everyone’s final score. On several different holes, a selection of breakfast items were served, from custom-made omelets to Belgian waffles and Bloody Marys. The emphasis wasn’t on the quality of golf, but the fun.
