INTRODUCTION
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines, Worldwide (The Coca-Cola Company claims that it is sold in more than 200 countries.). It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola, pop, or in some parts of the U.S., soda. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and Western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors. The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand name. The most common of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola. However, others exist, including Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola, Diet Coke Caffeine- Free, Coca-Cola Cherry, Coca-Cola Zero, Coca-Cola Vanilla, and special editions with lemon, lime, or coffee. In response to consumer insistence on a more natural product, the company is in the process of phasing out E211, or sodium benzoate, the controversial additive linked to DNA damage and hyperactivity in children, of Diet Coke. The company has stated that it plans to remove the controversial additive from its other products, including Sprite and Oasis, as soon as a satisfactory alternative is discovered.

INTERNATIONAL HISTORY

6 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

Coca-Cola Enterprises, established in 1986, is a young company by the standards of the Coca-Cola system. Yet each of its franchises has a strong heritage in the traditions of Coca-Cola that is the foundation for this Company. The Coca-Cola drinks. Company However traces the its beginning business Thomas to 1886, in when 1899 B. an Atlanta two pharmacist, Dr. John Pemberton, began to produce Coca-Cola syrup for sale in fountain bottling F. began and when Chattanooga businessmen, Benjamin Joseph Whitehead,

secured the exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca -Cola for most of the United States from The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola bottling system continued to operate as independent, local businesses until the early 1980s when bottling franchises began to consolidate. In 1986, The Coca-Cola Company merged some of its company -owned operations with two large ownership groups that were for sale, the John T. Lupton franchises and BCI Holding Corporation's bottling holdings, to form Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. The Company offered its stock to the public on November 21, 1986, at a split-adjusted price of $5.50 a share. On an annual basis, total unit case sales were 880,000 in 1986. In December 1991, a merger between Coca -Cola Enterprises and the Johnston Coca-Cola Bottling Group, Inc. (Johnston) created a larger, stronger Company, again helping accelerate bottler consolidation. As part of the merger, the senior management team of Johnston assumed responsibility for managing the Company, and began a dramatic, succes sful restructuring in 1992.Unit case sales had climbed to 1.4 billion, and total revenues were $5 billion.

DOMESTIC HISTORY
Coca cola started its operations in Pakistan in early sixties. The brand became very popular in a very short span of time and the company broadened its operations to meet its increasing demands. The coca cola inaugurated their plant in Multan at Vehari road in 1965. It is still situated at the

same place. Initially it was introduced as a franchise basis. The owners who took the franchise were not focusing on the quality of coke very much and they were unable to meet the standard of coke internationally. They were losing the market share against Pepsi. So the coca cola company now has taken over it in Pakistan. Here we would like to include some of the popular slogans of coke since the coke journey started. 1886 1908 1923 1934 1942 1956 1963 1993 2001 2003 2009 Drink Coca-Cola Get the genuine Enjoy thirst When it's hard to get started, start with a Coca-Cola The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola itself The friendliest drink on earth Things go better with Coke Always.

MARKET ANALYSIS: The market analysis investigates both the internal and external business environment. It is vital that Coca cola carefully monitor both the internal and external aspects regarding its business as both the internal and external environment and their respective influences will be decisive traits in relation to Cokes success and survival in the soft drink industry. INTERNAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The internal business environment and its influence is that which is to some extent within the businesss control. The main attributes in the internal environment include efficiency in the production process, through management skills and effective communication channels. To effectively control and monitor the internal business environment, Coke must conduct continual appraisals of the businesss operations and readily act upon any factors, which cause inefficiencies in any phase of the production and consumer process. EXTERNAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The External business environment and its influences are usually powerful forces that can affect a whole industry and, in fact, a whole economy. Changes in the external environment will create opportunities or threats in the market place Coca cola must be aware off. Fluctuations in the economy, changing customer attitudes and values, and demographic patterns heavily influence the success of Coca Colas products on the market and the reception they receive from the consumers. MARKET SHARE ANALYSIS Coca cola is now one of the largest corporations in the world, with a global work force of over 90,000 and revenues of $31.9 billion in revenues in 2009. Over the years, the brand equity of the coca cola trademark, as well as that of other coca cola produced brands, has established coca cola as prominent figure in the non- alcoholic beverage industry and allowed the company to keep both revenues and profits high. Market share analysis compares Coca Colas business sales performance with that of its competitors. In Pakistan Coca Cola looks to increase its market share from 30% to 35%.

PRICE STRATEGY
Trade Promotion
Coca Cola Company gives incentives to middle men or retailers in way a that they offer them free samples and free empty bottles, by this these retailers and middle man push their product in the market. And thats why coca cola seen more in the market. And they have a good sale in the market because according to the expert which product seen more in the market that sells more. Seen as sold They do agreements with a shop keepers and stores to exclusive sale in that stores. These stores are called as KEY accounts in their local language. And coke also invest heavy budget on these stores and offers them free samples and free bottles and some time cash incentives.

Different Price in Different Seasons 12 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

Sometimes Coca Cola Company change their product prices according to the season. Summer is supposed to be a good season for beverage industry in Pakistan. So in winter they reduce their prices to maintain their sales and profit. But normally they reduce the prices of their pet bottles or 1 litter glass bottle.

PROMOTION STRATEGIES

MARKETING STRATEGIES OF COCA COLA

Our local marketing strategy enables Coke to listen to all the voices around the world asking for beverages that span the entire spectrum of tastes and occasions. What people want in a beverage is a reflection of which they are, where they live, how they work and play, and how they relax and recharge. Whether you're a student in the United States enjoying a refreshing Coca-Cola, a woman in Italy taking a tea break, a child in Peru asking for a juice drink, or a couple in Korea buying bottled water after a run together, we're there for you. We are determined not only to make great drinks, but also to contribute to communities around the world through our commitments to education, 13 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

health, wellness, and diversity. Coke strives to be a good neighbor, consistently shaping our business decisions to improve the quality of life in the communities in which we do business. It's a special thing to have billions of friends around the world, and we never forget it.

POSITIONING

Coca Cola does its positioning on the basis of its taste. Once a business has decided which segments of the market it will compete in, developed a clear picture of its target market and defined its product, the positioning strategy can be developed. Positioning is the process of creating, the image the product holds in the mind of consumers, relative to competing products. Coca Cola and Franklins both make soft drinks; although Franklins may try to compete they will still be seen as down market from Coca Cola. Positioning helps customers understand what is unique about the products when compared with the competition. Coca Cola plan to further create positions that will give their products the greatest advantage in their target markets. Coca Cola has been positioned based on the process of positioning by direct comparison and have positioned their products to benefit their target market. Most people create an image of a product by comparing it to another product, thus evident through the famous battles between Coca-Cola and Pepsi products.

Developing the Marketing Mix or 4 Ps


The marketing mix is probably the most crucial stage of the marketing planning process. This is where the marketing tactics for each product are determined. The marketing mix refers to the combination of the four factors (price, promotion, product, and place) that make up the core of a businesss marketing strategy. In this step of the marketing planning process, marketing mix must be designed to satisfy the wants of target markets and achieve the marketing objectives. The most successful businesses have continually monitored and changed their marketing mix due to respective internal and external factors and have monitored the external business environment in order to maximize their marketing mix components.

Product
Many Products are physical objects that you can own and take home. But the word product means much more than just physical goods. In marketing, product also refers to 14 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

services, such as holidays or a movie, where you enjoy the benefits without owning the result of the service. Businesses must think about products on three different levels, which are the core product, the actual product and the augmented product. The core product is what the consumer is actually buying and the benefits it gives. Coca Cola customers are buying a wide range of soft drinks. The actual product is the parts and features, which deliver the core product. Consumers will buy the coke product because of the high standards and high quality of the Coca Cola products. The augmented product is the extra consumer benefits and services provided to customers. Since soft drinks are a consumable good, the augmented level is very limited. But Coca Cola do offer a help line and complaint phone service for customers who are not satisfied with the product or wish to give feedback on the products. BRANDING It is often hard to say exactly why we buy one companys product over another. Companies such as Nike and Adidas spend large amounts of money trying to win consumers away from their competitors who make products that are very similar. The popularity of the brand is often the deciding factor. Over the time Coca Cola has spent millions of dollars developing and promoting their brand name, resulting in worldwide recognition. 'Coca-Cola' is the most recognized trademark, recognized by 94% of the world's population and is the most widely recognized word after "OK". Coca Colas red and white colors and special writing are all examples of world-wide trademarks. PRODUCT LINE There are different brands of the Coca Cola Company, which are currently in use throughout the world. This company not only deals in the carbonated drinks but also other drinks. While launching its product, the marketing team considers the culture of the country. Major brands of coca cola Coke Sprite Fanta Diet coke Coke classic PROMOTION ADVERTISEMENT

SWOT ANALYSIS OF COCO COLA


STRENGTHS:
PRODUCT IMAGE /BRAND IMAGE:

It is rated as the worlds number one cold drink and is famed for its internationally well-known brand name Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola has been a complex part of world culture for a very long time. The product's image is loaded with over-romanticizing, and this is an image many people have taken deeply to heart. The

16 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

Coca-Cola image is displayed on T-shirts, hats, and collectible memorabilia. This extremely recognizable branding is one of Coca-Cola's greatest strengths. "Enjoyed more than 685 million times a day around the world Coca-Cola stands as a simple, yet powerful symbol of quality and enjoyment" (Allen, 1995). BOTTLING (SHAPE):

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 maintain a local approach. The bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent business people who are authorized 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. REGULAR SUPPLY :

The regular supply of the products is strength of the company. The products are regularly supplied to the dealers through proficient means of delivering and distribution has given Coca-Cola Pakistan an added advantage. Coke trucks supply the products regularly and always have the desired products for the dealers. AGGRESSIVE MARKETING STRATEGY:

Its marketing strategy is very aggressive which aids it in further and incessant production and distribution of its products. It gives trade offers to its dealers for storing more and more coke products and the signage strategies and agglomeration of all the marketing strategies proves that it has a very aggressive marketing strategy. This will help Coca-Cola Pakistan in strengthening its integrity in the CUSTOMER LOYALTY / TASTE LOVER :

The biggest strength of coco colas is the taste. We researched on it and ask too many people they like coco cola because it is not too much sweet as compare to others there is some secret ingredient which is highly confidential

WEAKNESS

Weaknesses for any business charge to be both minimized and monitored in adjustment to finer accomplish abundance and ability in their business's activities, although Coco Cola is very successful business company, with limited weakness. However they do have a variety of weakness that need to be addressed if they want to raise the next level. CENTRALIZED DECISION MAKING:

The decision making process in the company is highly centralized and the workers feel that there exists no proper authority existing in the firm. The salesmen feel dissatisfied for they are totally

17 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

powerless to make any decisions themselves. In dealing with their buyers they have not the slightest authority to allow them any credit or discount. POOR DISTRIBUTION:

Presently the market share of coca cola in Pakistan is only 14% however Pepsi has a market share of 77%.even though internationally coca cola is considered the number one brand. The problem however lies why is it that coke is unable to attain a strong hold in Pakistan. The answer to this is not simple, but through various reasoning one of the major attributes to this is coke has a weak hand on its distribution channel. In Karachi, Shops and stores put their names on painted branded boards, and are bought by the cola majors to stock only their brands, thereby obviating any sales pitch by their competitors. In this case coke has been beaten by Pepsi at various occasions . DOCUMENTATION & FORMALITIES:

Some time quick action is necessary but due to the centralized decision making it is not possible. However the competitors do use the local approach as per the area requirement. HEALTH PROBLEM:

Coca-Cola on the other side has effects on the teeth's 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
LESS AVAILIBITY:

The product is not available to the extent that it should be. If Coca-Cola wants to make an impact in the market they will have to do more than they are doing at the present moment. If we talking about the rural areas in Pakistan Coco cola is not frequently available as its competitors are. It is the reason that Coco Cola Company is unable to spread its roots in this market as it has done globally.

LACK OF PROMOTION:

Coca cola is very much conscious about their billboards, holdings and TV commercials but these Promotional activities have been greatly neglected in many areas especially interior sides of our providences. This indeed results in a high degree of difficulty for coke in penetrating the market .

OPPORTUNITIES
NEW MARKET:

We know that Coke came to Pakistan many years ago and since it is working hard to develop its market. We think that Coca-Cola can secure new dealers and buyers of its product as still large part of the country is still devoid of its products. It can promote its products in the younger

18 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

generation by targeting the new outlets being opened due to improved law & order situation and a growing population. Another new market is waiting for Coco Cola is the rural area where company need to address with its integrated marketing tools and strategies to make them aware and develop the taste of these people. TO MAKE CHANGES IN PACKAGING:

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. NICHE MARKETING:

Niche markets that ample companies do not ambition to serve

THREATS
SUBSTITUTE

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. The soft drink industry is very strong, but consumers are not necessarily married to it. Possible substitutes that continuously put pressure on both Pepsi and Coke include tea, coffee, juices, milk, and FAKE PRODUCTS:

In areas such as Liaqatabad, New Karachi, Glimmer etc Fake beverages by the name of coke are being supplied by unknown people. Such activities really hamper the companys name and its brand originality. Above all the fake beverages supplied are almost similar to the taste of the original Coke brand and not everyone can decipher the difference between the original and the fake product. This is in fact a great threat to Coca-Cola for unworthy people is taking advantage of its brand name and spoiling its good name in the market CONSUMER BUYING POWER:

It also represents a key threat in the industry. The rivalry between Pepsi and Coke has produce 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.

THE MANGO SEASON:

The mango season is a great threat to Coca-Colas operations and also its sales. According to statistics during the mango season Coca-Colas sales are reduced by about 25-30%. This is indeed

19 WALEED LAL BAKHSH

a huge blow to Coca-Cola especially since it is a fairly new company in the market. The greatest affect is on the revenue from the rural areas where mango drinks take over. However this is one factor that Coke cannot do anything about for it is not in their hands. If the mango season is to come nothing can be done about it. Economical and political issues. Competitors Schemes
