The Coca-Cola Company traces it‟s beginning to 1886, when an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John
Pemberton, began to produce Coca-Cola syrup for sale in fountain drinks. However the

MAJOR PRODUCTS OF COCA COLA INTERNATIONAL

The Coca-Cola Company's brands in India include Coca-Cola, Fanta Orange, Limca, Sprite,
Thums Up, Burn, Kinley, Maaza, Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, Minute Maid Nimbu Fresh and
the Georgia Gold range of teas and coffees and Vitingo (a beverage fortified with micronutrients).
Marketing Plan
(International)
Purpose:
In brief the purpose is to market a new innovative beverage packaging for Coca-Cola. The
packaging has been designed around the brief „consider the creation of a new concept form of
beverage packaging container for 2015.‟
The Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest manufacturers, distributors and marketers of
non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world. Coca-Cola's headquarters are in
Atlanta, Georgia, in America. It is best known for its flagship product, Coca-Cola, and is one
of the largest corporations in the United States.
Today, Coca-Cola is an internationally recognized soft drinks company with ambitious plans
to further grow the brand. The company owns the majority of the soft drinks available in
coolers and in vending machines in the western world. Some of these brands include, CocaCola and sub brands, Dr Pepper, Fanta, Sprite, Oasis and PowerAde. A full list of Coca-Colas
affiliated brands can be found on their corporate website.
The 2005 Annual Report states the company sells beverage products in more than 312
countries or territories. The international presence of Coca-Cola is phenomenal and its logo,
advertising and colours are among the most recognized in the world.

Mission:
Taken from thecoca-colacompany.com everything we do is inspired by our enduring mission:
• To Refresh the World... in body, mind, and spirit.
• To Inspire Moments of Optimism... through our brands and our actions.
• To Create Value and Make a Difference... everywhere we engage.
Coca-Cola‟s product is the concentrate; this is sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottling
companies around the world. The bottlers, who have contracts with the company, produce the
finished product as we know it, in cans and bottles, combining the concentrate with filtered
water and sweeteners.
The bottlers sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to different outlets
such as stores and vending machines. Coca-Cola Enterprises is the largest Coca-Cola bottler
in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. The Coca-Cola Company also sells
concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors such as
McDonalds. “One of our great strengths is our ability to conduct business on a worldwide
scale while maintaining a local approach.”
Currently Coca-Cola is expanding its Diet Coke range, with a new "healthy soda" Diet Coke
with Vitamins B6, B12, Magnesium, Niacin, and Zinc, marketed as "Diet Coke Plus". This is
to appeal to an ever increasing market for healthier drinks as oppose to soft drinks with high
amounts of sugar.
The soft drinks market is very competitive and Coca-Cola has had their share of success and
failure stories with the launches of new products. Most famously the female sale increase
from Diet Coke‟s TV adverts in the 90‟s. The largest of failures here in the UK though being
the unsuccessful bottled water DaSani, which suffered bad press and was found to be similar
to tap water, as oppose to all other bottled water in the UK which is spring water.
Marketing Audit
SWOT Analysis

Strengths:
•
•

•

•
•
•
•

Market leader in soft drinks.
Coca-Cola has massive world appeal. The product's image is loaded with overromanticizing, and this is an image many people have taken deeply to heart. The
Coca-Cola image is displayed on T-shirts, hats, and collectible memorabilia. This
extremely recognizable branding is one of Coca-Cola's greatest strengths.
Additionally, Coca-Cola's bottling system is one of their greatest strengths. It allows
them to conduct business on a global scale while at the same time maintaining a local
approach. The bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent
business people who are authorised to sell products of the Coca-Cola Company.
Because Coke does not have outright ownership of its bottling network, its main
source of revenue is the sale of concentrate to its bottlers.
Social Responsibility, sponsorship of UK Football Leagues, continual sponsorship of
the Olympics.
Coke Music
Other brands owned by the Coca Cola Company that have a strong brand image.
Seasonal advertising awareness e.g. TV Christmas advert and summer advert.

Weaknesses:
•
•
•
•
•

Coca-Cola has effects on the teeth which is an issue for health care.
It also has got sugar by which continuous drinking of Coca-Cola may cause health
problems.
Being addicted to Coca-Cola also is a health problem, because drinking of Coca-Cola
daily has an effect on your body after few years.
Brand market share makes Coca Cola direct competition for competitors and new
competitors emerging in the market.
Previous failed marketing strategies such as coke zero and Dasani.

Opportunities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
•

Opportunity to introduce new product onto market, marketing pull
Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Coke's competitive position.
Coca-Cola's brand name is known well throughout 94% of the world today
The primary concern over the past few years has been to get this name brand to be
even better known.
Packaging changes have also affected sales and industry positioning, but in general,
the public has tended not to be affected by new products.
Need for „green businesses and sustainability in packaging business.
Coca-Cola's bottling system also allows the company to take advantage of infinite
growth opportunities around the world. This strategy gives Coke the opportunity to
service a large geographic, diverse area.
Investment into developing countries.
Opportunities to develop social responsibility in narrower demographics.
Threats:
•
•

•

•

•

Currently, the threat of new viable competitors in the carbonated soft drink industry is
not very substantial.
The threat of substitutes, however, is a very real threat. Possible substitutes that
continuously put pressure on both Pepsi and Coke include tea, coffee, juices, milk,
and hot chocolate.
Even though Coca-Cola and Pepsi control nearly 40% of the entire beverage market,
the changing health-consciousness of the market could have a serious affect. Of
course, both Coke and Pepsi have already diversified into these markets, allowing
them to have further significant market shares and offset any losses incurred due to
fluctuations in the market.
Consumer buying power also represents a key threat in the industry. The rivalry
between Pepsi and Coke has produced a very slow moving industry in which
management must continuously respond to the changing attitudes and demands of
their consumers or face losing market share to the competition.
Furthermore, consumers can easily switch to other beverages with little cost or
consequence. (Fast moving goods)
PEST Analysis

Political/Legal:
•

•

More than a third of the waste paper and plastic collected by British local authorities,
supermarkets and businesses for recycling is being sent 8,000 miles to China without any
knowledge of the environmental or social costs. The government insists that companies have
export licenses but few if any checks are made in British ports. The Environment Agency
admits that it is unable to check what is being exported.
Supporters of a pre-9pm watershed ban on junk food advertising are increasing pressure on
the government through the introduction of another private member's bill. The bill, introduced
by Labour MP Nigel Griffiths, is not only aiming to impose a pre-9pm watershed ban on junk
food advertising on TV but is also seeking "significant restrictions" on non-broadcast
marketing.

Economical:
•
•

•

•

The value of the soft drinks market has benefited from growth since the late 80‟s. Between
2001 and 2005 the value has increased 21.2%
Carbonates continue to account for more than half the soft drinks market in terms of value,
although their share fell from 60.3% in 2001 to 56.1% in 2005 as consumers switched to other
drinks for health reasons.
Interest rates cut 5.5% freeing up disposable income of mortgage owners, potentially in target
market (25-35 years) potential for fast moving consumer goods price increase.
Market was worth £9.28bn (est.) in 2005, increase sales seen in hot summers in take-home
sales.

Social/Cultural:
•

•

•

•

Health Problems concerned with sugar carbonated drinks, linked to child obesityand bad
teeth. Children media exposure attacked for problem and advertising restrictions made as
discussed in Political section.
Channel 4 recently did a large exposé on Coca Cola child labour in El Salvador, could alter
buyer behaviour as consumers have an increased interest in the source and manufacture of
products in regards to fair-trade and the environment.
Fairtrade and environmentally friendly packaging become increasing concern with increased
awareness of recycling. Consumers have become more inclined to purchase goods sporting
the Fairtrade logo.
Sporting sponsorship deals provide links made to sport and health. The sponsorship gives the
brand a healthier appeal for consumers. Coca-Cola are a frequent sponsor of the Olympic
Games and in the UK sponsor the football leagues. (Coca Cola Championship, Coca Cola
League 1 & 2)
Technical:
•
•
•
•

Reseal able coke can soon to be on sale in the UK as reported in the Mirror Oct-21-07
„Sprite Ice‟ in testing; when opened a chemical in the drink turns a portion to ice.
Coke Music making a younger demographic more aware of the brand through an ever
increasing digital music market.
Coca-Cola is launching a new lightweight bottle to reduce the amount of waste plastic.
Marketing Plan
Objectives and Strategies
Marketing objectives follow:
• Change Coca-Cola‟s brand image towards more global/local responsible attitude.
• Inform target audience about features and benefits of the new product.
• Boost sales based on the predicted overtaking of carbonated drinks by health drinks by 2015.

Product Description
The new beverage packaging is aimed at the Diet coke range of Coca-Colas product portfolio. It is a
refillable bottle aesthetically styled to appeal to sports/fitness audience. The new beverage container is
made from sustainable sourced materials and production methods. The beverage container is unique
in the way the consumer is encouraged to re-use/refill it. Being the first to offer a new product feature
is a proven competitive strategy. Future improvements to the product create the impression the
company cares about satisfying its customers, material technology improvements in the future would
further the design.

Features
• Sports/fitness design
• Whatever coke product has been put in the
bottle by the dispensing unit the logo is present
on the bottle.
• Ergonomically Designed

Benefits
• Coke lifestyle connotations
• Health/fitness lifestyle connections
• Fair-trade, sustainability, eco-friendly
connections.
• Cheaper product in the long run
Pricing Strategy
Below there is a marketing tool to work out pricing strategy. Coca-Cola have a high market share,
competitor pressure has forced customer sensitivity to price to be fairly high, sales volume is of
course high and profit margin is fairly low as the Coca-Cola products are fast moving consumer
goods. This points to penetration strategy.
Penetration pricing means the setting of lower rather than high prices to achieve potentially dominant
market share.
This can only be done where demand for the product is believed to be highly flexible, basically
demand is price-sensitive and either new consumers will be attracted, or existing consumers will buy
more of the product because of a low price.
A good penetration strategy may lead to large amount of sales and large market shares.
The strategy may also promote complimentary products. The main product may be priced low to
attract sales, customers are then sold accessories. This strategy will work nicely in promoting re-use
of Coca-Cola packaging via a beverage holder of vessel which is purchased separately and refilled.
The potential disadvantage of bringing in this strategy is the likelihood of competitors doing the same
by reducing their prices, therefore damaging any advantage of the reduced price.
Price Penetration is most appropriate in industries where standardization is important. The product
that achieves high market penetration often becomes the industry standard, in regards to the new
Coca-Cola beverage vessel, it is trying to create a standardization of how consumers use the beverage
container. Coca-Cola are likely to receive stiff competition soon after introduction of the product,
although the product that achieves high market penetration often becomes the industry standard and
other products, even superior products, become marginalized. Standards carry heavy momentum.
Marketing Communications
The following areas of the marketing communications mix will all be looked at to consider
the relative strengths and weaknesses and if andhow they will be applied in the case of this
plan.
Advertising - Any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or
services by an identified sponsor.
Personal selling - Personal presentation by the firm‟s sales force for the purpose of making
sales and building customer relationships.
Sales promotion - Short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or
service.
Public relations - Building good relationships with the company‟s various publics by
obtaining favourable publicity, building up a good "corporate image", and handling or
heading off unfavourable rumours, stories, and events.
Direct marketing - Direct communications with carefully targeted individual consumers to
obtain an immediate response and cultivate lasting customer relationships.

As already said Coke is a massive global brand with huge brand awareness, the emphasis of
advertising would be on a TV advertising campaign which would be on the company website and
virally spread on social video sites such as YouTube. The advert should gain cult status and in theory
the target market will virally spread the advert to friends in the same market. Consumers are highly
responsive to videos they have chosen to watch on the web. Reaching the target market through more
sport sponsorship promotes cokes lifestyle image and the new healthier product well.
Advertising Form:
Billboards

TV Adverts

Magazine/Newspaper

Public/Street Furniture

Online advertising

Strengths/Weaknesses:
• Strengths: Seen by a large
audience, hard to avoid, large
presence, people highly
receptive.
• Weaknesses: Because it‟s an
old form of advertising and so
widely used consumers learn to
ignore it, doesn‟t target audience.

• Strengths: Seen by a large
audience, can be targeted on
specific programmes/channels,
good communication device.
• Weaknesses: watershed on junk
food soon in place, Sky+ and
digital TV allows skipping of
adverts.

• Strengths: Target market
specific, readers highly receptive.
• Weaknesses: consumers have
learnt that glossy magazines are
full of adverts and flick through
them.

• Strengths: Seen by a large
audience, events or places e.g.
football stadium, good for brand
association.
• Weaknesses: Not long
timescale, needs to be updated
frequently to attract audience.
Not always reaching target

• Strengths: Can be targeted on
specific websites, good
communication device, cheap
• Weaknesses: Email‟s from
businesses can be flagged as
SPAM, Opportunities in social
networking sites for viral
advertising.

Tools or tactics:
Coke have incorporated
interesting billboards before,
they frequently advertise on the
neon displays in both Piccadilly
Circus in London and Times
Square New York. They have
also used 3D billboards in the
United States.Unnecessary for
product launch as consumers will
probably be more inclined and
used to this form of advertising
by 2015.
Coke have good cult TV adverts,
such as their Christmas advert
which consumers pay attention to
seeing around this time of year.
Watershed on junk food
advertising will prevent current
Coca-Cola products being
advertised, like McDonalds
though, The proposed idea will
help combat this and mean this
form of advertising is still viable.
Advertising in lifestyle
magazines with any emphasis on
sports, fitness, health and
crossovers in cokes lifestyle
image would be a viable form of
advertising for the new product.

Continue Coca-Cola‟s
sponsorship of Olympics and UK
football leagues with emphasis
on Coke‟s range of healthier
drinks. Good for brand image
lifestyle and looks better for
coke‟s social responsibility.

In the form of email to
subscribers, informing them on
new product. TV style adverts
can be directly shared with users
on the social networking site
YouTube and good adverts have
created cult followings on the
Video websites.
Personal Selling
The sales force needs to communicate with current distribution channels for Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola
Enterprise currently distribute cooler fridges and vending units to community centres, sports halls and
shops. These would be replaced via a liquid dispensing vending unit which the distributor is likely to
take on board because of Coke‟s market share. But due to Coca-Cola‟s recent failures with DaSani
and Coke Zero they might need more incentives. Along with information on the benefits of switching
units incentives based on Coke‟s sponsorship deals could be offered such as free tickets to sporting
events, such as football.

Sales Promotion Form:
Price deal:
A temporary reduction in price.

Loyalty rewards program:
Consumers collect points, miles, or
credits for purchases and redeem
them for rewards.

Coupons:
Coupons have become a standard
mechanism for sales promotions.

On-line couponing:
Coupons are available on line.
Consumers print them out and take
them to the store.

Online interactive promotion game:
Consumers play an interactive game
associated with the promoted
product.

Contests/sweepstakes/games:
The consumer is automatically
entered into the event by purchasing
the product.

Strengths/Weaknesses:

Tools or tactics:

• Strengths: Great response in Fast
moving consumer goods where brand
loyalty isn‟t definitive.
• Weaknesses: Sales Volume might
not reach desired target and profit
margins might not meet requirements.

As the pricing strategy is penetrative
this would be a well worthy
promotion form.

• Strengths: Provides incentive to be
brand loyal, new customers
encouraged to switch brands to get
reward.
• Weaknesses: advertising has to be in
place about the scheme

Loyal customers with the refillable
bottle will reap benefits of price
reduction compared to competitors
because they won‟t be purchasing
packaging.

• Strengths: Encourages customers to
purchase an item they may not have
before.
• Weaknesses: doesn‟t encourage any
loyalty to the product.

Coupons don‟t fit into Coke‟s brand
image and I think will be too old
fashioned in 2015.

• Strengths: Seems more exclusive
than in store coupons, encourages
users onto company website.
• Weaknesses: Need distributor cooperation

Online coupons are much more
accessible than regular coupons and
the process of getting them online
could be linked with Coke‟s Digital
Music store.

• Strengths: Keeps customer on
website, likely to pass on to friend
therefore viral
• Weaknesses: Market specific
promotion,

Interactive ads online make a nice
experience for the user, a flash game
could allow users to experience the
new vending method.

• Strengths: Good prizes are likely to
draw repeat purchases to try again,
• Weaknesses: Large brands are likely
to put people off thinking their
chances of winning is lower.

Contests linked with Coca-Colas
sponsorship companies, such as
competitions for tickets to sporting
events.
Press Release:
Regarding C4 accusations of Child
Labour.

Press Release:
Regarding child obesity, increasing
need for health drinks

• Strengths: Increase brand
image appeal, show company
to be socially responsible
• Weaknesses: Can‟t erase the
past, Nike still suffer from
employing sweat shop workers
in the early 90‟s

Produce an article in broadsheet paper
on Coca-Cola‟s new product which is
sustainable on every front, materials,
production and re-usable packaging.
Showing Coke‟s recognition of global
responsibility to reduce CO2
emissions.

• Strengths: Increase brand
image appeal, show company
to be socially responsible
• Weaknesses: Hard to regain
consumer trust

Article in newspapers about Coke‟s
new Diet Coke product range with
fitness and health in mind.
Direct Marketing
Direct marketing‟s effectiveness can be measured directly. If Coke sent out one million mail
advertisements/promotions, and ten thousand customers can be tracked as having responded to the
promotion, Coke can see the campaign led directly to the responses. Online promotions can be tracked
and this would be in place with Coca-Cola as discussed in the promotions plan.

Conclusion
The marketing strategy for Coca-Cola‟s new product will come into place in 2015, based on trends
emerging now this plan has identified the carbonated drinks market has probably peeked and likely to
be overtaken by healthier drinks as the market leader in the soft drinks market.
Researching Coca-Cola‟s product range has identified the Diet Coke range as the most likely, with
marketing pull to still succeed in the future. The diet coke range has combats health concerns which
are found in the Coca-Cola flagship product.
Coca-Cola is all about buying into a lifestyle, and the new lifestyle in 2015 will much more health
conscious. In this report I have shown reason for Coke to tie themselves up with sports sponsorship to
promote a brand image of health and fitness.
The new beverage vessel is refillable in the hope of reducing pressure on landfill and showing coke as
being a global and socially responsible company. The beverage container is styled to appear an
essential for an active, fit lifestyle.

  • 4. INTRODUCTION Coca Cola Is … The Coca-Cola Company is an American multinational beverage corporation and manufacturer, retailer and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, which is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. IT Start With … The Coca-Cola Company traces it‟s beginning to 1886, when an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John Pemberton, began to produce Coca-Cola syrup for sale in fountain drinks. However the bottling business began in 1899 when two Chattanooga businessmen, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead, secured the exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola for most of the United States from The Coca-Cola Company. Some Important Facts … In 2012, Coca-Cola is listed as a partner of the (RED) campaign, together with other brands such as Nike, Girl, American Express and Converse. The campaign's mission is to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus from mother to child by 2015 (the campaign's by-line is "Fighting for an AIDS Free Generation")

  • 9. Purpose: In brief the purpose is to market a new innovative beverage packaging for Coca-Cola. The packaging has been designed around the brief „consider the creation of a new concept form of beverage packaging container for 2015.‟ The Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest manufacturers, distributors and marketers of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world. Coca-Cola's headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia, in America. It is best known for its flagship product, Coca-Cola, and is one of the largest corporations in the United States. Today, Coca-Cola is an internationally recognized soft drinks company with ambitious plans to further grow the brand. The company owns the majority of the soft drinks available in coolers and in vending machines in the western world. Some of these brands include, CocaCola and sub brands, Dr Pepper, Fanta, Sprite, Oasis and PowerAde. A full list of Coca-Colas affiliated brands can be found on their corporate website. The 2005 Annual Report states the company sells beverage products in more than 312 countries or territories. The international presence of Coca-Cola is phenomenal and its logo, advertising and colours are among the most recognized in the world. Mission: Taken from thecoca-colacompany.com everything we do is inspired by our enduring mission: • To Refresh the World... in body, mind, and spirit. • To Inspire Moments of Optimism... through our brands and our actions. • To Create Value and Make a Difference... everywhere we engage. Coca-Cola‟s product is the concentrate; this is sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottling companies around the world. The bottlers, who have contracts with the company, produce the finished product as we know it, in cans and bottles, combining the concentrate with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to different outlets such as stores and vending machines. Coca-Cola Enterprises is the largest Coca-Cola bottler in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors such as McDonalds. “One of our great strengths is our ability to conduct business on a worldwide scale while maintaining a local approach.” Currently Coca-Cola is expanding its Diet Coke range, with a new "healthy soda" Diet Coke with Vitamins B6, B12, Magnesium, Niacin, and Zinc, marketed as "Diet Coke Plus". This is to appeal to an ever increasing market for healthier drinks as oppose to soft drinks with high amounts of sugar. The soft drinks market is very competitive and Coca-Cola has had their share of success and failure stories with the launches of new products. Most famously the female sale increase
  • 10. from Diet Coke‟s TV adverts in the 90‟s. The largest of failures here in the UK though being the unsuccessful bottled water DaSani, which suffered bad press and was found to be similar to tap water, as oppose to all other bottled water in the UK which is spring water.
  • 12. SWOT Analysis Strengths: • • • • • • • Market leader in soft drinks. Coca-Cola has massive world appeal. The product's image is loaded with overromanticizing, and this is an image many people have taken deeply to heart. The Coca-Cola image is displayed on T-shirts, hats, and collectible memorabilia. This extremely recognizable branding is one of Coca-Cola's greatest strengths. Additionally, Coca-Cola's bottling system is one of their greatest strengths. It allows them to conduct business on a global scale while at the same time maintaining a local approach. The bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent business people who are authorised to sell products of the Coca-Cola Company. Because Coke does not have outright ownership of its bottling network, its main source of revenue is the sale of concentrate to its bottlers. Social Responsibility, sponsorship of UK Football Leagues, continual sponsorship of the Olympics. Coke Music Other brands owned by the Coca Cola Company that have a strong brand image. Seasonal advertising awareness e.g. TV Christmas advert and summer advert. Weaknesses: • • • • • Coca-Cola has effects on the teeth which is an issue for health care. It also has got sugar by which continuous drinking of Coca-Cola may cause health problems. Being addicted to Coca-Cola also is a health problem, because drinking of Coca-Cola daily has an effect on your body after few years. Brand market share makes Coca Cola direct competition for competitors and new competitors emerging in the market. Previous failed marketing strategies such as coke zero and Dasani. Opportunities: • • • • • • • • • Opportunity to introduce new product onto market, marketing pull Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Coke's competitive position. Coca-Cola's brand name is known well throughout 94% of the world today The primary concern over the past few years has been to get this name brand to be even better known. Packaging changes have also affected sales and industry positioning, but in general, the public has tended not to be affected by new products. Need for „green businesses and sustainability in packaging business. Coca-Cola's bottling system also allows the company to take advantage of infinite growth opportunities around the world. This strategy gives Coke the opportunity to service a large geographic, diverse area. Investment into developing countries. Opportunities to develop social responsibility in narrower demographics.
  • 13. Threats: • • • • • Currently, the threat of new viable competitors in the carbonated soft drink industry is not very substantial. The threat of substitutes, however, is a very real threat. Possible substitutes that continuously put pressure on both Pepsi and Coke include tea, coffee, juices, milk, and hot chocolate. Even though Coca-Cola and Pepsi control nearly 40% of the entire beverage market, the changing health-consciousness of the market could have a serious affect. Of course, both Coke and Pepsi have already diversified into these markets, allowing them to have further significant market shares and offset any losses incurred due to fluctuations in the market. Consumer buying power also represents a key threat in the industry. The rivalry between Pepsi and Coke has produced a very slow moving industry in which management must continuously respond to the changing attitudes and demands of their consumers or face losing market share to the competition. Furthermore, consumers can easily switch to other beverages with little cost or consequence. (Fast moving goods)
  • 14. PEST Analysis Political/Legal: • • More than a third of the waste paper and plastic collected by British local authorities, supermarkets and businesses for recycling is being sent 8,000 miles to China without any knowledge of the environmental or social costs. The government insists that companies have export licenses but few if any checks are made in British ports. The Environment Agency admits that it is unable to check what is being exported. Supporters of a pre-9pm watershed ban on junk food advertising are increasing pressure on the government through the introduction of another private member's bill. The bill, introduced by Labour MP Nigel Griffiths, is not only aiming to impose a pre-9pm watershed ban on junk food advertising on TV but is also seeking "significant restrictions" on non-broadcast marketing. Economical: • • • • The value of the soft drinks market has benefited from growth since the late 80‟s. Between 2001 and 2005 the value has increased 21.2% Carbonates continue to account for more than half the soft drinks market in terms of value, although their share fell from 60.3% in 2001 to 56.1% in 2005 as consumers switched to other drinks for health reasons. Interest rates cut 5.5% freeing up disposable income of mortgage owners, potentially in target market (25-35 years) potential for fast moving consumer goods price increase. Market was worth £9.28bn (est.) in 2005, increase sales seen in hot summers in take-home sales. Social/Cultural: • • • • Health Problems concerned with sugar carbonated drinks, linked to child obesityand bad teeth. Children media exposure attacked for problem and advertising restrictions made as discussed in Political section. Channel 4 recently did a large exposé on Coca Cola child labour in El Salvador, could alter buyer behaviour as consumers have an increased interest in the source and manufacture of products in regards to fair-trade and the environment. Fairtrade and environmentally friendly packaging become increasing concern with increased awareness of recycling. Consumers have become more inclined to purchase goods sporting the Fairtrade logo. Sporting sponsorship deals provide links made to sport and health. The sponsorship gives the brand a healthier appeal for consumers. Coca-Cola are a frequent sponsor of the Olympic Games and in the UK sponsor the football leagues. (Coca Cola Championship, Coca Cola League 1 & 2)
  • 15. Technical: • • • • Reseal able coke can soon to be on sale in the UK as reported in the Mirror Oct-21-07 „Sprite Ice‟ in testing; when opened a chemical in the drink turns a portion to ice. Coke Music making a younger demographic more aware of the brand through an ever increasing digital music market. Coca-Cola is launching a new lightweight bottle to reduce the amount of waste plastic.
  • 17. Objectives and Strategies Marketing objectives follow: • Change Coca-Cola‟s brand image towards more global/local responsible attitude. • Inform target audience about features and benefits of the new product. • Boost sales based on the predicted overtaking of carbonated drinks by health drinks by 2015. Product Description The new beverage packaging is aimed at the Diet coke range of Coca-Colas product portfolio. It is a refillable bottle aesthetically styled to appeal to sports/fitness audience. The new beverage container is made from sustainable sourced materials and production methods. The beverage container is unique in the way the consumer is encouraged to re-use/refill it. Being the first to offer a new product feature is a proven competitive strategy. Future improvements to the product create the impression the company cares about satisfying its customers, material technology improvements in the future would further the design. Features • Sports/fitness design • Whatever coke product has been put in the bottle by the dispensing unit the logo is present on the bottle. • Ergonomically Designed Benefits • Coke lifestyle connotations • Health/fitness lifestyle connections • Fair-trade, sustainability, eco-friendly connections. • Cheaper product in the long run
  • 18. Pricing Strategy Below there is a marketing tool to work out pricing strategy. Coca-Cola have a high market share, competitor pressure has forced customer sensitivity to price to be fairly high, sales volume is of course high and profit margin is fairly low as the Coca-Cola products are fast moving consumer goods. This points to penetration strategy. Penetration pricing means the setting of lower rather than high prices to achieve potentially dominant market share. This can only be done where demand for the product is believed to be highly flexible, basically demand is price-sensitive and either new consumers will be attracted, or existing consumers will buy more of the product because of a low price. A good penetration strategy may lead to large amount of sales and large market shares. The strategy may also promote complimentary products. The main product may be priced low to attract sales, customers are then sold accessories. This strategy will work nicely in promoting re-use of Coca-Cola packaging via a beverage holder of vessel which is purchased separately and refilled. The potential disadvantage of bringing in this strategy is the likelihood of competitors doing the same by reducing their prices, therefore damaging any advantage of the reduced price. Price Penetration is most appropriate in industries where standardization is important. The product that achieves high market penetration often becomes the industry standard, in regards to the new Coca-Cola beverage vessel, it is trying to create a standardization of how consumers use the beverage container. Coca-Cola are likely to receive stiff competition soon after introduction of the product, although the product that achieves high market penetration often becomes the industry standard and other products, even superior products, become marginalized. Standards carry heavy momentum.
  • 19. Marketing Communications The following areas of the marketing communications mix will all be looked at to consider the relative strengths and weaknesses and if andhow they will be applied in the case of this plan. Advertising - Any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Personal selling - Personal presentation by the firm‟s sales force for the purpose of making sales and building customer relationships. Sales promotion - Short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or service. Public relations - Building good relationships with the company‟s various publics by obtaining favourable publicity, building up a good "corporate image", and handling or heading off unfavourable rumours, stories, and events. Direct marketing - Direct communications with carefully targeted individual consumers to obtain an immediate response and cultivate lasting customer relationships. As already said Coke is a massive global brand with huge brand awareness, the emphasis of advertising would be on a TV advertising campaign which would be on the company website and virally spread on social video sites such as YouTube. The advert should gain cult status and in theory the target market will virally spread the advert to friends in the same market. Consumers are highly responsive to videos they have chosen to watch on the web. Reaching the target market through more sport sponsorship promotes cokes lifestyle image and the new healthier product well.
  • 20. Advertising Form: Billboards TV Adverts Magazine/Newspaper Public/Street Furniture Online advertising Strengths/Weaknesses: • Strengths: Seen by a large audience, hard to avoid, large presence, people highly receptive. • Weaknesses: Because it‟s an old form of advertising and so widely used consumers learn to ignore it, doesn‟t target audience. • Strengths: Seen by a large audience, can be targeted on specific programmes/channels, good communication device. • Weaknesses: watershed on junk food soon in place, Sky+ and digital TV allows skipping of adverts. • Strengths: Target market specific, readers highly receptive. • Weaknesses: consumers have learnt that glossy magazines are full of adverts and flick through them. • Strengths: Seen by a large audience, events or places e.g. football stadium, good for brand association. • Weaknesses: Not long timescale, needs to be updated frequently to attract audience. Not always reaching target • Strengths: Can be targeted on specific websites, good communication device, cheap • Weaknesses: Email‟s from businesses can be flagged as SPAM, Opportunities in social networking sites for viral advertising. Tools or tactics: Coke have incorporated interesting billboards before, they frequently advertise on the neon displays in both Piccadilly Circus in London and Times Square New York. They have also used 3D billboards in the United States.Unnecessary for product launch as consumers will probably be more inclined and used to this form of advertising by 2015. Coke have good cult TV adverts, such as their Christmas advert which consumers pay attention to seeing around this time of year. Watershed on junk food advertising will prevent current Coca-Cola products being advertised, like McDonalds though, The proposed idea will help combat this and mean this form of advertising is still viable. Advertising in lifestyle magazines with any emphasis on sports, fitness, health and crossovers in cokes lifestyle image would be a viable form of advertising for the new product. Continue Coca-Cola‟s sponsorship of Olympics and UK football leagues with emphasis on Coke‟s range of healthier drinks. Good for brand image lifestyle and looks better for coke‟s social responsibility. In the form of email to subscribers, informing them on new product. TV style adverts can be directly shared with users on the social networking site YouTube and good adverts have created cult followings on the Video websites.
  • 21. Personal Selling The sales force needs to communicate with current distribution channels for Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola Enterprise currently distribute cooler fridges and vending units to community centres, sports halls and shops. These would be replaced via a liquid dispensing vending unit which the distributor is likely to take on board because of Coke‟s market share. But due to Coca-Cola‟s recent failures with DaSani and Coke Zero they might need more incentives. Along with information on the benefits of switching units incentives based on Coke‟s sponsorship deals could be offered such as free tickets to sporting events, such as football. Sales Promotion Form: Price deal: A temporary reduction in price. Loyalty rewards program: Consumers collect points, miles, or credits for purchases and redeem them for rewards. Coupons: Coupons have become a standard mechanism for sales promotions. On-line couponing: Coupons are available on line. Consumers print them out and take them to the store. Online interactive promotion game: Consumers play an interactive game associated with the promoted product. Contests/sweepstakes/games: The consumer is automatically entered into the event by purchasing the product. Strengths/Weaknesses: Tools or tactics: • Strengths: Great response in Fast moving consumer goods where brand loyalty isn‟t definitive. • Weaknesses: Sales Volume might not reach desired target and profit margins might not meet requirements. As the pricing strategy is penetrative this would be a well worthy promotion form. • Strengths: Provides incentive to be brand loyal, new customers encouraged to switch brands to get reward. • Weaknesses: advertising has to be in place about the scheme Loyal customers with the refillable bottle will reap benefits of price reduction compared to competitors because they won‟t be purchasing packaging. • Strengths: Encourages customers to purchase an item they may not have before. • Weaknesses: doesn‟t encourage any loyalty to the product. Coupons don‟t fit into Coke‟s brand image and I think will be too old fashioned in 2015. • Strengths: Seems more exclusive than in store coupons, encourages users onto company website. • Weaknesses: Need distributor cooperation Online coupons are much more accessible than regular coupons and the process of getting them online could be linked with Coke‟s Digital Music store. • Strengths: Keeps customer on website, likely to pass on to friend therefore viral • Weaknesses: Market specific promotion, Interactive ads online make a nice experience for the user, a flash game could allow users to experience the new vending method. • Strengths: Good prizes are likely to draw repeat purchases to try again, • Weaknesses: Large brands are likely to put people off thinking their chances of winning is lower. Contests linked with Coca-Colas sponsorship companies, such as competitions for tickets to sporting events.
  • 22. Press Release: Regarding C4 accusations of Child Labour. Press Release: Regarding child obesity, increasing need for health drinks • Strengths: Increase brand image appeal, show company to be socially responsible • Weaknesses: Can‟t erase the past, Nike still suffer from employing sweat shop workers in the early 90‟s Produce an article in broadsheet paper on Coca-Cola‟s new product which is sustainable on every front, materials, production and re-usable packaging. Showing Coke‟s recognition of global responsibility to reduce CO2 emissions. • Strengths: Increase brand image appeal, show company to be socially responsible • Weaknesses: Hard to regain consumer trust Article in newspapers about Coke‟s new Diet Coke product range with fitness and health in mind.
  • 23. Direct Marketing Direct marketing‟s effectiveness can be measured directly. If Coke sent out one million mail advertisements/promotions, and ten thousand customers can be tracked as having responded to the promotion, Coke can see the campaign led directly to the responses. Online promotions can be tracked and this would be in place with Coca-Cola as discussed in the promotions plan. Action Plan Start Completion Date (estimated) Date (chronologically) Launch of new bottle in 2015 2-3 months after release ASAP NA Launch of new bottle in 2015 2-3 months after release 2 months after release 4-5 months after release Action & Comments Resources required TV Advertising - Advertising should be focus group tested to ensure it will have the impact it requires. Press Release - Coke should be looking at bringing out press releases in the near future to portray a better brand social responsibility. Sales Promotion - Initial price reduction to increase market share. Sales Promotion - Instant competition when product purchase To be specified nearer the time of 2015 when financial forecasts are available. Conclusion The marketing strategy for Coca-Cola‟s new product will come into place in 2015, based on trends emerging now this plan has identified the carbonated drinks market has probably peeked and likely to be overtaken by healthier drinks as the market leader in the soft drinks market. Researching Coca-Cola‟s product range has identified the Diet Coke range as the most likely, with marketing pull to still succeed in the future. The diet coke range has combats health concerns which are found in the Coca-Cola flagship product. Coca-Cola is all about buying into a lifestyle, and the new lifestyle in 2015 will much more health conscious. In this report I have shown reason for Coke to tie themselves up with sports sponsorship to promote a brand image of health and fitness. The new beverage vessel is refillable in the hope of reducing pressure on landfill and showing coke as being a global and socially responsible company. The beverage container is styled to appear an essential for an active, fit lifestyle.
