All of the flavors remaining were fruit flavored. Of all the fruit flavors, forty linear feet was taken up, or 19% of all of the space. Another way to organize this large space is exactly how this grocery store organized it, by brands. I have already mentioned the ruling brands in the soda industry, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, and then the cheaper “off-brands”. Coca Cola takes up the greatest amount of space, being the most successful in the soda industry.
A SWOT analysis, company objectives, target market, marketing mix, implementation and control will be given to give a clear perspective of Diet Coke’s marketing plan. In a SWOT analysis, regarding strengths, the Coca Cola Company has a high profile of branding, financial resources and customer loyalty.

1. Why was it important for Coke to reposition the brand away from being a "diet" brand and towards a mainstream "aspirational" perception? Pepsi Max, Coke Zero’s biggest competitor, was heavily discounted and as a result Coke Zero was up to 58% more expensive. Considering that 75% of cola is sold on price promotions, Coke Zero needed something to justify the price premium to be able to successfully compete. Coke Zero’s communication strategy was taste-led in a category which was already suffering from the stigma of perceived bad taste.

They can do somehow a better job in making sound investments and control the marketing with their products. I see that there were some challenges from some years especially when PepsiCo and Coco-Cola were at a war to compete each other with their businesses.

PepsiCo has shown the best current ratio and is able to pay off their debts, which Coca-Cola does not have that and is struggling to pay off their debts.
Coca-cola believed that as this segment aged, it would move on to healthier diet drinks and hence they needed to look into the “full-calorie” young segment. Figure 1 below graphically depicts this understanding. At that time the youth favored Pepsi’s high calorie content by even more overwhelming margins than the market as a whole. Thus Coca-cola zeroed-in on this segment and launched the “New” Coke (of course they substantiated their strategy with surveys and focus groups, the unbiased nature of these efforts is now being questioned) Fig 1 What went wrong: The purpose of segmentation is to break mass markets into
Explain Britvic’s Micro & Macro environment. A Microenvironment is all of the factors that directly affect the company .e.g. competitors and customers. So in the case of Britvic, as they bought Tango, Pepsi, Canada Dry and 7Up; this meant that their main competitors were Coca-Cola, Barrs and Fanta.

Coca-Cola is more likely influence by volatility and unpredicted external environment because Coca-Cola pursues a differentiation strategy where it relies on brand image developed through heavy advertising and promotion. In terms of vertical scope, Coca-Cola’s main activities are product development, brand management, and concentrate manufacture and distribution, all of this aspects are sensitively depending on external environment and rely on our daily life such food safety, customer’s expectation, climate change and district habits. Although there are many external factors influences Google Inc., but not that sensitive like Coca-Cola which is the entity company. Madonna knows she should compete with other authors and try best to publish attractive book to describe her fantastic world tour. Where are we competing?
