If Pepsi can do well in economic recession then it could do even better in economic booms but it must stay in touch with consumer tastes and trends. In the 1990’s to increase brand loyalty to Pepsi, they launched the Pepsi Stuff campaign. Consumers of Pepsi were awarded points through label packaging they could use the points to buy merchandise.
