The world has changed in many ways since pharmacist, John Styth Pemberton first introduced
the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia. The name and the product mean so many
things to hundreds of Millions of consumers around the globe. Coca-Cola products are served
more than 705 million times every day, quenching the thirsts of consumers in more than 195
countries in every climate. That's a long way to come after such a modest beginning...
May - Pemberton concocted a caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his
1886
backyard. He first "distributed" the new product by carrying Coca-Cola in a jug down
the street to Jacobs Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could enjoy a glass of CocaCola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was teamed
with the new syrup, producing a drink that was proclaimed "Delicious and Refreshing."
Dr. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and

they said that it was a decision that Pepsi tastes better. Roger Enrico, the president and CEO of
Pepsi-Cola wrote a letter to every major newspaper in the U.S. to declare the victory.
Coca-Cola management had to decide: Do nothing or "buy the world a new Coke". They
decided to develop the new formula.
1985 - July 10, eighty-seven days after the new Coke was introduced, the old Coke was brought
back in addition to the new one. This was greatly due to dropping market share and
consumer protest. The market share fell from a high of 15 percent to a low of 1.4
percent. This was said to be a classic marketing retreat. Coca-Cola executives admitted
that they had goofed by taking the old Coke off the market. The Coca-Cola company's
eight hundred number received eighteen thousand calls of gratitude. The comeback of
old Coke drove stock prices to the highest level in twelve years. This was said to be the
only way to regain the lead on the cola wars.
1993 - Coca-Cola exceeds 10 Billion cases sold worldwide.
1996 - The Summer Olympics will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, the home of Coca-Cola. For
more than 65 years, Coca-Cola has been a sponsor of the Olympics.

The term Fast Moving Consumer Goods refers to those retail goods that are generally replaced
or fully used up over a short period of days, weeks, or months, and within one year. This
contrasts with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances, which are generally
replaced over a period of several years. FMCGs have a short shelf life, either as a result of high
consumer demand or because the product deteriorates rapidly. Some FMCGs such as meat,
fruits and vegetables, dairy products and baked goods are highly perishable. Fast moving
consumer goods are simply the essential items that one must have in order to live Or at least
live well. The items are referred to fast moving due to the fact that they are the quickest items
to leave the shelves at a supermarket, and usually have the lowest price due to that fact. The

essential items, or fast moving consumer goods, are classified in several different ways and are
often categorized by the area in which people live, the demographics that constantly shop at the
stores, and if they are perishable items or not. However, these consumer goods are not strictly
limited to what is bought in store, as fresh food products or non-perishables.
Fast moving consumer goods are also applied to items that are part of home delivery, pick up
delivery, markets and stalls, items purchased at a chemist or pharmaceutical organization,
specialized stores, and tobacco or smoking paraphernalia stores. Fast moving consumer goods
are items in which everyone needs to live They are often of low cost and thus will not
determine a large profit for whichever company produces and sells the items, however due to the
large amount of turnover, they are deemed to produce enough profit to constantly produce and
sell more. These items are usually as follows: Fruit and vegetable, meats including; chicken,
beef, and fish, some cereals, dairy products like milk and some yoghurt (often the ones most
used for kids lunchboxes, or quick snacks), sugar and other drinking necessities like coffee and
cocoa, pasta and various noodles, not to mention the non edible products like toiletries,
shampoos and soaps which everyone needs in order to live a clean life. Of course, those are just
the simple basics; there are other products like spirits, beer and wine that are considered fast

There are companies that are considered under the guidelines of fast moving consumer goods
(from here on known as FMCG), for their ability to constantly produce the items that sell the
quickest. These are such companies like Nestle, Sara Lee, Procter and Gamble, Coca-Cola,
Kleenex and Pepsi. The interesting thing to notice is that all these companies either provide
confectionary or dairy items that are known not entirely as necessities, and also toiletry
companies
that
provide

and
tissues.
Most fruit and vegetables are excluded from these well known FMCG companies, due to the fact
that there are not only a few conglomerate companies that dominate the market of fruit and
vegetable production But rather millions of small companies that own their own crops and
wish to produce farmers-markets type quality of fruit and vegetables that is enjoyed by many
families for their freshness.

PRICING
PRICING POLICY FOR INDIAN MARKET
Coca-Cola also made the right moves by adapting to cultural barriers in India. One such barrier
was the affordability of products for Indians. Because India is a country where people are known
to live on very little a day, the idea of getting people to spend what little they have on a soft drink
could be quite a stretch. However Coca-Cola India went with an aggressive pricing policy and
reduced the price of their soft drinks in 2003 from 15% to 25% nationwide. To compete
competitively in the market, Pepsi reduced their prices as well. This move allowed both
companies to offer products that were affordable to the target market in India but also
encouraged more Indians to consume Pepsi and Coca-Cola products.

increase their sales. By offering smaller sized bottles many consumers also increased the
