Brand loyalty
The brand is present across 40 countries,
including the US, UK, Germany, Italy,

Brand Equity
Royal Enfield grew 91% in brand value to
US$519 million
The motorcycle manufacturing company
owned by Eicher Motors enjoyed a 36%
rise in sales in June 2016, on a year-on-
year basis while exports rose a huge
118%.
Royal Enfield has “created a niche for
itself” over the years, a recent report on
the company by JP Morgan stated.
Their dominance in India has been
matched by soaring exports with high
performing stores across Asia, Europe
and North America
Royal Enfield even overtook Harley-
Davidson in 2014 in terms of global sales.
16
Royal Enfield added exclusive accessories to its portfolio. Everything relates
to only travelling.
Following the Harley Davidson’s model of branding, Royal Enfield has also
started selling their own merchandise for riders including riding jackets,
helmets, t-shirts, gloves etc promoting safety for riders.

MEDIA PLAN
• BANNER ADS ON AUTO WEBSITES LIKE BIKESINDIA.IN,
INDIABIKES.COM, AUTO.INDIAMART.COM ETC
• BIKE CLUBS , BIKE ROAD TRIPS
• YOUTUBE VIDEO, PRESS CONFERENCE
• UPDATING THE CURRENT ROYAL ENFIELD PAGE
• ROYAL RACER GAME WITH PRIZES FOR WINNERS
• LEAVE HOME AND HIMALAYAN TELEVISION CAMPAIGN
17
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• The buying behaviour is predominantly governed by need for power
and respect for the iconic brand.
• The internal locus of control is by and large dependent on the sense
of control the motorcycle offers and also the sense of freedom that
users associate with it.
• Users are professional males age 25-45 , including some students
• Users display mostly value expressive behaviour
• People who do not chose to buy bullets do so because of high price,
maintenance and spares hassles and also because some think they
are not fit for it.
• Advertisements are rarely recalled and highly ineffective among non
bullet riders
• Bullets are perceived as low on cost effectiveness but high on ride
comfort and reliability
18
Recommendations
• Improved sales and service networks
• Marketing communication should focus on satisfying the needs of
respect , power and comfort
• The royal Enfield apparels available on their exclusive stores should be
made available in college counters to make them accessible to the
young students to create a sense of awareness
• They should tie up with some adventurous brand such as mountain dew
to revamp their brand
• Should concentrate on building around the iconic status it has if it plans
to attract the migrating customers
