    The situation for Thorr Motorcycle company is their sales are declining on 1500cc power cruiser motorcycles (University of Phoenix, 2013). Consumers in the age group of 35 to 50 are aging and their interest is changing. The younger generation in the age group of 21 to 35 incomes is small, and they prefer to purchase the inexpensive motorcycle (University of Phoenix, 2013). In addition to the change of interest from the younger generation, Thorr Motorcycle company should be concerned with their competitors because the competitors are intruding on Cruiser Thorn’s market (University of Phoenix, 2013). A decision on a marketing approach should be implemented to increase sales for Thorr Motorcycle. To gain the interest of the younger generation, Thorr Motorcycles should change the product instead of creating a new product line of motorcycles. A perceptual map is a visual presentation of what the customer thinks of the company brand (University of Phoenix, 2013). Brand focuses on the different attributes that is important to the customers, and comparing the brand position with different competitors.

    The “market philosophy” emphasized 1. Capturing market share and 2. Increasing sales volumes above short-term profitability. Honda’s approach began by re-conceptualizing the motorcycle in the minds of consumers (“You meet the nicest people on a Honda”), based on identified customer need, and supported by high advertising expenditures.…

    RollsThorr is currently producing more than 200,000 luxury motorcycles a year. The highest selling motorcycle is their 651cc bike called the CrusierThorr. This bike owns 40 percent of the market share for motorcycles in its class. Due to a huge demographic change RollsThorr has concerns on the decline of sales for the bike. The demographic swing has shifted to a younger population, who are not interested in the same lifestyle that the CrusierThorr has been symbolizing for years. Having a younger generation interested in the market, the cost of the CrusierThorr has provided a problem in capturing the young market. This market now wants a less expensive motorcycle that will suit a young hip lifestyle. Therefore the marketing team for RollsThorr has developed a perceptual map to explain the markets wants and needs, and determine where the company should venture to increase the declining sales.…

    This report was commissioned to assess the key aspects of the current external business environment for small independent bicycle retailers in New Zealand, in order to determine what are the advantages and difficulties for a business in this environment. The New Zealand bicycle industry is not very attractive due to high competition between rivals in the market and the large amount of substitute vehicles. However, New Zealand Government has taken many efforts to improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions (Pestle Analysis, 2009). This is somehow encouraging citizens to prefer bicycles more than cars and motorbikes. Furthermore, factors such as improving health and fitness are creating a good chance for new retailers to enter the bicycle market. Nevertheless, demand for bicycle is currently high does not mean small independent retailers can sell their bikes easily. High buyer’s power…

    Royal Enfield

    Royal Enfield – Brand Rejuvenation of Motorcycle in India The year 2000 could have been decisive. That was when the board of directors at Eicher Motors decided to either shut down or sell off Royal Enfield - the company's Chennai-based motorcycle division, which manufactured the iconic Bullet motorbikes. For all its reputation, the sales of the bike was down to 2,000 units a month against the plant's installed capacity of 6,000; losses had been mounting for years. Just one person stood up to the board, insisting Royal Enfield should get another chance. He was Siddhartha Lal, a third generation member of the Delhi-based Lal family, promoters of the Eicher group of companies. Lal, then 26, was an unabashed Bullet fan: he even rode a red coloured Bullet while leading the baraat (procession) to his wedding venue, instead of the traditional horse. "The board agreed to give me a chance," says Lal. "It was not because of its confidence in me, but because the business was doing so badly it could hardly get any worse." Lal felt Royal Enfield could still be saved. The bike had its reputation, a cult following, an instantly recognisable build, and aspirational value. Changes had to be made to keep up with the times and make the bike more acceptable, and there in lay the problem. Royal Enfield fans liked the bikes exactly the way they had always been. "We needed changes to attract new customers but by doing so risked losing existing ones," says R.L. Ravichandran, whom Lal brought in as CEO in 2005 as part of his revival effort. Ravichandran had earlier worked with both TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto. "We were in a peculiar situation," he adds. Rejuvenating Times The change had to be a calibrated one. The mistaken notions of prospective customers had to be addressed, and any reservations about Bullet and Thunderbird, which was launched in 2002, removed. At the same time, Lal and Ravichandran were clear that the individuality of Royal Enfield bikes should not be compromised. "We did…
