Marketing Mix of Coca Cola

PRODUCTION The Coca-Cola Company produces the concentrates and syrups used

in its drinks at 30 principal companies owned and operated manufacturing plants worldwide. The production process is very secretive thus limiting the availability of production locations.

Product line Coca cola have 70 main products with 400 baewarages brands in

which the most important are Coca cola, Fanta,Sprite,Kinley etc

Pricing  Coke was a company ruling the markets before Pepsi entered.

Earlier the price of coke was cost based i.e. it was decided on the cost which was spent on making the product plus the profit and other expenses.

But after the emergence of other companies especially the likes of Pepsi, Coca-cola started with a pricing strategy based on the basis of competition. Nowadays more expenses are spent on advertising my soft-drink companies rather than on manufacturing

Manufacturing and target marketManufacturing Coca-Cola Enterprises CCE is one of the world’s largest marketers,

producers and distributors of Coca-Cola products. CCE buys concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company and combines it with other ingredients to create some of the most popular beverages in Belgium, Great Britain, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

Coca cola target market Coca Cola's target market is young adults to middle-aged people.

Although, even kids cannot resist soda intake, it is not advisable for kids to consume soda because of its unhealthy effect to the body. Coca Cola has been successfully dominating its target market for years.

The company's beverages are generally for all consumers. However, there are some brands, which target specific consumers. For example, Coca-Cola's diet soft drinks

How Coca-Cola uses Face book & Twitter

Face book

PromotionFace book Coca Coca-Cola has attracted 63 million fans to its main Facebook page, And one of the privileges that come with its international celebrity is the

ability to leave its Face book page unattended for long periods of time. While other consumer brands such as ASOS and Red Bull push out

several updates per day in order to keep their fans interested, Coca-Cola often goes more than a week without posting anything

Furthermore, as Coca-Cola doesn’t have its own stores its social strategy isn’t focused on driving people to its shops or to an ecommerce platform.

Instead it’s all about maintaining the brand image and raising awareness of its ad campaigns.

, in the past 12 months the company has used its Face book pages to publicise its Olympics and Euro 2012 ad campaigns.

Compared to a number of other brands I’ve looked at the level of engagement on Coca-Cola’s page is actually quite low.

Coca-Cola also has Face book pages for its other products such as Diet Coke and Coke Zero

Coca-Cola also has a number of Face book apps, including one called ‘When will happiness strike called ‘Ahh Giver

PromotionTwitter

PromotionTwitter As is common with most global brands, Coca-Cola has separate

Twitter feeds for each of the local markets in which it operates. It also has dedicated pages for various products and sub-brands,

including Diet Coke, Coke Zero, its racing teams, and the company’s long-deceased founder Doc Pemberton.

The main Twitter feed has just over 700,000 followers and has tweeted more than 75,000 times, which makes it among the most active brands I’ve looked at.

It responds to a huge number of mentions each day, including complaints, follow requests, compliments and general chitchat. And the social team even has a Spanish speaker among the ranks.

there are probably still hundreds of @mentions going unanswered which Coca-Cola could probably address by adding more staff to the social or customer service teams. 

It has a clearly defined audience and could easily use Twitter to communicate with its customers and increase brand loyalty, however it prefers instead to use it primarily as a broadcast tool.

PromotionAdvertisementCoke's advertising is pervasive, as one of Woodruff's

stated goals was to ensure that everyone on Earth drank Coca-Cola as their preferred beverage

1941 saw the first use of the nickname "Coke" as an official trademark for the product, with a series of advertisements informing consumers that "Coke means Coca-Cola". In 1971 a song from a Coca-Cola commercial called "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", produced by Billy Davis, became a hit single

Coca cola has always been effective in his AdvertisementThe Coca-Cola Company purchased Columbia Pictures in

1982, and began inserting Coke-product images into many of its films

Olympic games, at the 1928 games in Amsterdam, and has been an Olympics sponsor ever since

Since 1978, Coca-Cola has sponsored the FIFA World Cup

Coca-Cola is the official soft drink of many collegiate football teams throughout the nation

Coca-Cola has a long history of sports marketing relationships, which over the years have included Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and the National Hockey League

AdvertisementIn mass mediaCoca-Cola has been prominently featured in countless

films and television programs. Since its creation, it remains as one of the most important elements of the popular culture. It was a major plot element in films such as One, Two, Three, The Coca-Cola Kid, and The Gods Must Be Crazy among many others. It provides a setting for comical corporate shenanigans in the novel Syrup by Maxx Barry. And in music, in The Beatles' song, "Come Together", the lyrics said, "He shoot Coca-Cola, he say...". The Beach Boys also referenced Coca-Cola in their 1964 song "All Summer Long" (i.e. 'Member when you spilled Coke all over your blouse?

E procurement strategies of Coca cola

The product must be in the catalogueUsers must be able to find what they needThe data must be rightUsers must want to use the system

Coca cola’s Information SystemDifferent types of information systems are needed for

different companies. Each company has individual needs and requirements and finding the right information system mean the difference between success and failure.

They started out with an old system called the legacy system. This turned out to be very inefficient, it was not user friendly and a lot of costs were incurred

They also did their financial plans manually on spreadsheets and were submitted as hard copies. This made it very difficult to update information and was a very big issue as they began to expand globally.

As they were growing an integrated business management system was needed to handle the different aspects of their worldwide corporation. They decided to incorporate Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM).

feel like you want its products. Targeted advertisements on websites mean that Coca-Cola has greater control over who sees their ads and when they see them.

Advantages of Coca cola over Pepsi1. Coke and Pepsi are very active in social

media, and I think their hard work is helping to build up a bank of trust with their audiences. But coca cola is producing much better then Pepsi on Social media then Pepsi. Coca-Cola also has been working in many different ways to use social media to create trusting customer relationships. For example, Coke has the second most popular page on Face book (after President Obama's) with more than 5 million fans.

strategies of promotions but Pepsi always have a upper hand over coca cola eg

Pepsi advertisements often focused on celebrities, choosing Pepsi over Coke

The blind taste challenge2. Pepsi home page is more attractive then

Coca cola3. Pepsi electronic commerce can also make

Criticism

Coca-Cola has been criticized for alleged adverse health effects, its aggressive marketing to children, exploitative labour practices, high levels of pesticides in its products, building plants in Nazi Germany which employed slave labour, environmental destruction, monopolistic business practices, and hiring paramilitary units to murder trade union leaders. In October 2009, in an effort to improve their image, Coca-Cola partnered with the American Academy of Family Physicians, providing a $500,000 grant to help promote healthy-lifestyle education; the partnership spawned sharp criticism of both Coca-Cola and the AAFP by physicians and nutritionists.

Bolivia has been reported to consider banning Coca-Cola prior to January 2013

Rumours

Coca-Cola contains material making it unsuitable for vegetarians and Muslims.

Some products of the Coca-Cola Company contain alcohol.

Suggestions

Focusing on its advertising and differentiation can increase its profits.

Changing consumer lifestyle; by becoming health conscious and preferring substitute products. Coke can relatively diversify and offering health conscious products.

Coke must Use social media effectively not only for awareness but for marketing also

Coke must introduce Online sides for booking not only in India but in other countries too

In Pakistan coca cola E commerce is not very impressive it should enhance its e commerce

ConclusionCoca cola is one of the most productive and

famous brand of a world with strong marketing base but E commerce is good but not as effective as expected from such a world leader
