The marketing plan aims to address Harley Davidson's aging customer base and lack of appeal to younger consumers by targeting "Young Influentials" ages 18-34. The plan proposes introducing more affordable, sportier motorcycle models and promoting safety classes to overcome resistance. Marketing strategies include TV and magazine ads targeting this demographic, dealership events, and product placement in movies and TV shows popular among Young Influentials. The goal is to increase brand awareness, purchases, and switching by 30% and 20% respectively within 5 years.
