  • Coca-Cola: a Powerful Brand – an Effective Marketing Strategy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eLibrary National Mining University Zaloznykh K., Kaimashnikova K. T.V. Kogemyakina, research supervisor Kriviy Rih Economic Institute of National Vadim Hetman Economic University of Kyiv COCA-COLA: A POWERFUL BRAND – AN EFFECTIVE MARKETING STRATEGY Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or business to business. It's important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact. Brand looks like the relationship between a product and its customer. A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. Brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It's a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without. For the last several years, when we ask people to think about a successful brand, we often ask them to think of Coca-Cola because, well, Coke is it. That’s why we decide to investigate the world’s powerful brand – coca - cola. The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world, and one of the largest corporations in the United States.

  • Wie Viel Zucker Enthalten Die Getränke?
    Wie viel Zucker enthalten die Getränke? Aufgabe: Berechne den Zuckergehalt der Getränke. Verwende dazu die Sipcan- Getränkeliste! 4g Zucker= 1 Würfelzucker Zuckergehalt gesamter Anzahl der Getränk in g/100 ml Zuckergehalt Würfelzucker in Gramm Coca Cola (500ml) Pepsi Cola (500ml) Fanta Orange (500ml) Rauch Eistee Zitrone (500ml) Rauch Happy Day Orange (330ml) Cappy Apfel gespritzt (500ml) Pago Erdbeere (330ml) Römerquelle Emotion Birne Melisse (500ml) Dreh & Trink Kirsche (200ml) Capri Sun Multivitamin (200ml) Almdudler Original (500ml) Mezzo Mix (500ml) Red Bull Organics Bitterlemon (250ml) Köse Mualla Als Faustregel gilt: Getränke sollten maximal 6,7 g Zucker pro 100 ml enthalten ! Zutatenliste: Hier gilt: Je weiter vorne eine Zutat in der Zutatenliste angeführt ist, desto größer ist ihr Anteil im Produkt. Als Faustregel gilt: Je niedriger der Fruchtanteil, desto mehr Zucker wird bei süßen Getränken zugesetzt. ! Hinweis: Mehr Fruchtanteil bedeutet auch mehr Gehalt an Vitaminen und Mineralstoffen. Nicht umsonst zählt 1 Glas 100%-iger Fruchtsaft auch als Obstportion und eigentlich nicht als Getränk. Getränke nach Alphabet sortiert Aufgrund des großen Angebots an verschiedenen Produkten, in denen unterschiedliche Mengen an Zucker enthalten sind, soll die Getränkeliste eine einfache Orientierungshilfe zur Produktauswahl bieten. Bei der Getränkeliste, die vom unabhängigen vorsorgemedizinischen Institut SIPCAN – Initiative für ein gesundes Leben erstellt wurde, handelt es sich um einen Praxisleitfaden. Neben dem Zuckergehalt bietet die Liste auch Informationen, ob ein Produkt Süßstoffe oder Koffein enthält. Weitere Informationen, wie über den Fruchtanteil, oder ob ein Produkt biologisch ist, finden Sie, sofern auf der jeweiligen Produktverpackung erwähnt, in der Online-Checkliste auf www.sipcan.at oder in unserer kostenlosen App (Suchbegriff „SIPCAN“).

Plan Summary AMP is an energy drink product that has been in desperate need of a re-branding. The current brand appeals mainly toward males. This is because of the masculine look of the product, as well as its current advertising being geared towards males who play sports. Its advertisements mainly list the product as being able to enhance ones skills and endurance on the playing field. Due to this way of advertising, other demographics are left out. Our plan would shift the focus to other demographics, specifically toward women. Our solution to this would be to re-brand the product to have two separate lines: one for women and one for men. The male product line will stay the same as the current line that is available now. However the women's product line will feature a sleek new look that is both feminine and attractive. The advertising for this brand new line will gear the product towards those who enjoy the nightlife.
