The Age of the Customer


My Buying Criteria:

•My friend was selling it (proximity)•I could afford it (price)•I hadn’t heard anything bad about it (information)•It was on the cover of a magazine (media)


Fast forward 25 years!

Word of Mouth, Price, Expert opinion, Proximity

AND…


Highly detailed specifications


Competitive comparisons


With even more detailed specs


Reviews from other buyers


Forums of opinionated owners


• Detailed specs• Model comparisons• Trusted reviews• Best place to buy• Best price to pay• Special offers• Best insurance deals• Owner opinions• Maintenance history• Accessories• Upgrades• Social events• Where to ride• Etc, etc, etc, etc…


In short…

The Customer has all the power
