During years of dark days, Nike stood by Tiger Woods.  When Tiger won the Masters, within hours, Nike had a video commercial ready to celebrate the event. On a day when the markets were largely down, Nike was up, said MarketWatch.  NKE, +0.68%. ‘

 

Tiger Woods, battling back from an injury- and scandal-ridden decade that almost derailed his career for good, just accomplished what many believed to be an impossibility: his fifth Masters victory,” said MarketWatch.

In one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of sports,” MarketWatch said, “Woods earned the famed green jacket on Sunday by shooting a 13-under par 275 to finish one stroke ahead of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.”

It is a subject that people are talking about. Why doesn’t MHI jump on the topics that people are talking about?  The specific parallel is shown below. 

The takeaway here is simple.  Nike saw a headline, and they jumped on it.  In their case, the headline was a positive one, and they made the most of it.  It’s buzzing on social media.

Why doesn’t the trade association that says it represents “all segments of factory-built housing” – the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) use a similar principle?  Why don’t they have a rapid response team that jumps on good headlines, and strikes back to correct bad ones?

MHI has a much larger staff and budget than this platform and our sister site, MHLivingNews.  But by rapidly responding to the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver “Mobile Homes,” our sister site has ended up page one, near the top on that search term.

Instead, Frank Rolfe, who ironically was tagged by Oliver in that video, ended up quite correct about this prior critique of the trade association he is now a more muted member of, MHI.

ICYMI, see the two reports linked below, that point once more to reasons why manufactured housing is underperforming.  Congratulations to Woods, and may more manufactured housing leaders learn the never quit, and “just do it” response lesson.
