The findings from research clearly indicated that consumers “overwhelmingly” preferred the taste of the new formulation to the old one. Brimming with confidence. Coca-Cola announced the formulation change with much fanfare. Consumer reaction was swift but unfortunately for Coca-Cola, negative. In Seattle, retired real estate investor Gay Mullins founded the “Old Cola Drinkers of America” and set up a hotline for angry consumers. A Beverly Hills wine merchant bought 500 cases of “Vintage Coke” and sold them at a premium. Meanwhile, back at Coca-Cola headquarter, roughly 1,500 calls a day and literally truckloads of mail poured in, virtually all condemning the company’s action.

There are four major elements that make up the marketing mix: product, price, place, and promotion. A product can be described as everything that makes up a good, service, or idea, including product design, features, colour, packaging, warranty and service levels (Kerin et al., 2015). A price refers to the amount of money that a product will sell for. The place consists of the channels where a product is distributed, as well as the merchandising used to sell the product. And finally, promotion includes all of the ways in which consumers are made aware of a product, such as advertising, public relations, sales promotion, direct response, event marketing and sponsorship, and personal selling (Kerin et al., 2015).
A newsletter bragged about Coca-Cola becoming an American drink, a prime source of American value and principle, which boosted the morale of soldiers in World War II.

The speaker is a critical writer from the onion. This was written during the 1997, a few years after the so called “Cola War”.

Case Analysis: J. C. Penney Company, Inc. Founded by James Cash Penney in 1902, J. C. Penney Company, Inc. has grown into a major mid-tier retailer.

One of his major accomplishments can be recognized during the “cola wars” of the 80’s. Between the countless marketing strategies conducted by other beverage companies, and the release of the “new coke”, which created an American uproar, Keough was able to steer Coca-Cola into success. Although there were many difficulties, Keough was determined to keep the company on the right track, which he explains in his statement: “It is like a perpetual marriage, you get along to go along, you have difficulties, spats, but you have to sit down and say we are going to work this out” (Whalen and O’Dowd). At times I feel star struck thinking about the life and work of my grandfather, and he always made the time to sit down and have certain “talks” with his grandchildren. His words and insight would inspire us with hope about what we can accomplish with hard work, and would give us the perfect amount of push so that in hopes we will one day we could be as or more successful as
Cannibalising standard variants: Rising awareness of soft drinks-related health issues, in particular sugar levels, has sparked a trend for “better for you” beverages globally.

Brands are complex offerings that are conceived by organisations but ultimately resides in the consumers mind (De Chernatony, 2010). A brand thus signals to the customers the source of the products and services and protects both the competitor who would attempt to provide products and services that appear similar or identical (Aaker, 2004).

Segmentation, Targeting and positioning, also known as STP are an essential part in marketing today. This model is important for generating marketing communication strategies and it aids the marketers to prioritize schemes and deliver personalized and pertinent messages to diverse audiences.

Segmentation benefits the managers in finding out the area on which they have to concentrate on in terms of geography, demographics, social factors or behaviors.
This aims at developing a deeper consumer desire for the brand, thus giving people more reason to purchase Coke- Cola products instead of competing brands. This is the essence of differentiation.

Coca Cola was first introduced by John Styth Pemberton, a pharmacist, in the year 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first “distributed” the product by carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacob’s Pharmacy and customers bought the drink for five cents at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, whether by accident or otherwise, producing a drink that was proclaimed “delicious and refreshing”, a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed. Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.
