Most retailers fight for greater visibility on Amazon.com Inc.’s dominant platform. Harley-Davidson Inc. wants to get off of it.
The motorcycle maker is no longer selling branded apparel on the internet giant’s website because that’s undercutting sales at its own dealers, Jochen Zeitz, Harley’s chief executive officer, said in an interview.
“We want to have a fully integrated, digital e-commerce business with our dealers,” Zeitz said. “Amazon was not really something that got our dealers into the mix.”
