The Harbor Freight customer is primarily male, 25 – 54, with a wide income range. In many markets, the customer base includes a large percentage of Hispanic consumers. (Note: 50% of our customers pay cash, indicating that we may have a very large recent immigrant customer base.) Effective Marketing verticals have included advertisements in media properties that cater to the following interests: Automotive, Truck, Motorcycle, Woodworking, Outdoor, Guns, and some Men’s lifestyle. Customers have described Harbor Freight as the "Walmart" of tools.
We believe that over 50% of our target audience (those who buy tools) have never heard of Harbor Freight. Therefore, the most important objective has to be to drive awareness, and to drive new customers into our stores. This can be done with the simple comparative, underscoring our huge price advantage. A secondary objective is to underscore how broad our selection of tools is.
