1.7 BENEFITS:
The functions of Advertisement, & that purpose its ethics, may be discussed below –
1. It increases demand for commodities & this result in increased production
Advertising :
a) Creates & stimulates demand opens & expands the markets;
b) Creates goodwill which loads to an increase in sales volume;
c) Reduces marketing costs, particularly product selling costs;
d) Satisfied consumer demand by placing in the market what he needs.

modern business if his methods of selling were most costly than those of his rivals.”

advertiser.
1.8 WHY AND WHEN TO ADVERTISE
Advertising as a tool to marketing not only reaches those who buy, but also those whose
opinions or authority is counted for example a manufacture of marble tiles building boards
advertises not only to people who intend to built houses but also to architect & engineers. At
time its is necessary for a manufacturer or a concern to advertise things which it does not sell
but which when sold stimulates the sales of its own product. There are concerns like electric
heaters, irons, etc. because the use of these increases the demand for their products.
Advertising should be used only when its promises to bring good result more economically &
efficiently as compared to other means of selling. There are goods for which much time &
efforts are required in creating a demand by sending salesman to prospective buyers than by
simple advertising them. Naturals when there are good profits competitors will be attracted &
they should be kicked out as and when sufficient capital is available by advertising on a large
scale.
 Immediate result may not justify the increased expenditure but it will no doubt secure future
sales.

 The History of Coca Cola in brought following below:

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink and is often reffered to simply a coke(a registered trademark of
The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944). It sold in stores, restaurants,
and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by the Coca-Cola Company of
Atlanta, Georgia, Originally intended as a patent machine when it was invented in the late 19 th
century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Giggs Candler, whose
marketing tactics led coke to its dominance of the world Soft-drink market throughout the 20 th
century.

The most common cola drinks under the coke brand name is Diet Coke, with others including
Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Coca-Cola Vanilla, Lime or Coffee.
The longest running commercial Coca-Cola soda fountain anywhere was Atlanta’s Fleeman’s
Pharmacy, which first opened its door in 1914 Jack Fleeeman took over the pharmacy from his father
and ran it till 1995; closing it after 81 years.

On April 23, 1985 Coca-Cola amiod much publicity attempt to change the formula of drink with “New
Coke” Follow-up taste tests revealed most consumers prefer the taste of New Coke. The company
gave into protest and return to a variation of the old formula using high fructose corn syrup instead
of cane sugar as the main sweetner, under the name Coca-Cola Classic on July 10, 1985.

In January 2009, Coca-Cola stopped printing the word “Classic” on the labels of 16-US-fluid-ounce
(470ml) bottles sold in the parts of the Southeastern United States. The change is part of a larger
strategy to rejuvenate the product’s image. The word “Classic” was removed from al Coca-Cola
produts by 2011.

Coca-Cola introduced the 7.5-ounce mini-can in 2009, and on September 22, 2011. The company
announced price reductions asking retailers to sell eight-packs for $2.99. That same day, Coca-Cola
announced the 12.5-ounce bottle, to sell for 89 cents. A 16-ounce bottle has sold well at 99 cents
since being re-introduced, but the price was going up to $1.19.

In 2012, Coca-Cola would resume business in Myanmar after 60 years of absence due to US imposed
investment sanctions against the country. Coca-Cola with its partner is to invest USD 5 Billion in its
operations in India by 2020.[www.slideshare.net]

2.3 LOGO DESIGN

The famous coco-cola logo was created by John Pemberton’s bookkeeper Frank Mason Robinson in
1885. Robinson came up with the name and choice the logo’s distinctive cursive script. The type
face used known as Spenserian script was developed in mid- 19 th century & was the dominant
from of format handwriting in United States during that period.
Robinson also played a significant role in early coco-cola advertisement. His promotional
suggestions to pemberton included giving away thousands of free drink coupons & plastering the
city of Altanta with publicity banners & streetcar signs.

2.4 Competitors

Pepsi, the flagship product of PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company's main rival in the soft
drink industry, is usually second to Coke in sales, and outsells Coca-Cola in some
markets. RC Cola, now owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, the third largest soft drink
manufacturer, is also widely available. Around the world, many local brands compete with
Coke. In South and Central America Kola Real, known as Big Cola in Mexico, is a growing
competitor to Coca-Cola. On the French island of Corsica, Corsica Cola, made by brewers of
the local Pietra beer, is a growing competitor to Coca-Cola. In the French region
of Brittany, Breizh Cola is available. In Peru, Inca Kola outsells Coca-Cola, which led The
Coca-Cola Company to purchase the brand in 1999. In Sweden, Julmust outsells Coca-Cola
during the Christmas season. In Scotland, the locally produced Irn-Bru was more popular
than Coca-Cola until 2005, when Coca-Cola and Diet Coke began to outpace its sales.In the
former East Germany, Vita Cola, invented during Communist rule, is gaining popularity.
In India, Coca-Cola ranked third behind the leader, Pepsi-Cola, and local drink Thums Up.
The Coca-Cola Company purchased Thums Up in 1993. As of 2004, Coca-Cola held a
60.9% market-share in India. Tropicola, a domestic drink, is served in Cuba instead of Coca-
Cola, due to a United States embargo. French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla
Cola are competitors to Coca-Cola in the Middle East.
In Turkey, Cola Turka, in Iran and the Middle East, Zamzam Cola and Parsi Cola, in some
parts of China, China Cola, in Slovenia, Cockta, and the inexpensive Mercator Cola, sold
only in the country's biggest supermarket chain, Mercator, are some of the brand's
competitors. Classiko Cola, made by Tiko Group, the largest manufacturing company in
Madagascar, is a serious competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions. Laranjada is the top-
selling soft drink on Madeira
2.5 ADVERTISING
Coca-Cola's advertising has significantly affected American culture, and it is frequently
credited with inventing the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in a red-and-white
suit. Although the company did start using the red-and-white Santa image in the 1930s, with
its winter advertising campaigns illustrated by Haddon Sundblom, the motif was already
common. Coca-Cola was not even the first soft drink company to use the modern image of
Santa Claus in its advertising: White Rock Beverages used Santa in advertisements for
its ginger ale in 1923, after first using him to sell mineral water in 1915. Before Santa Claus,
Coca-Cola relied on images of smartly dressed young women to sell its beverages. Coca-
Cola's first such advertisement appeared in 1895, featuring the young Bostonian
actress Hilda Clark as its spokeswoman.
1941 saw the first use of the nickname "Coke" as an official trademark for the product, with a
series of advertisements informing consumers that "Coke means Coca-Cola".In 1971 a song
from a Coca-Cola commercial called "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", produced by Billy.
Davis, became a hit single.The typeface You 2 that was created for the "Share a Coke".
campaign.Coca-Cola sales booth on the Cape Verde island of Fogo in 2004.Coke
advertisement in Budapest, 2013.Coke's advertising is pervasive, as one of Woodruff's
stated goals was to ensure that everyone on Earth drank Coca-Cola as their preferred
beverage. This is especially true in southern areas of the United States, such as Atlanta,
where Coke was born.
2.6 SPORTS SPONSHERSHIP
Coca-Cola was the first commercial sponsor of the Olympic games, at the 1928 games in
Amsterdam, and has been an Olympics sponsor ever since. This corporate sponsorship
included the 1996 Summer Olympics hosted in Atlanta, which allowed Coca-Cola to spotlight
its hometown. Most recently, Coca-Cola has released localized commercials for the 2010
Winter Olympics in Vancouver; one Canadian commercial referred to Canada's hockey
heritage and was modified after Canada won the gold medal game on February 28, 2010 by
changing the ending line of the commercial to say "Now they know whose game they're
playing".
Since 1978, Coca-Cola has sponsored the FIFA World Cup, and other competitions
organized by FIFA. One FIFA tournament trophy, the FIFA World Youth Championship from
Tunisia in 1977 to Malaysia in 1997, was called "FIFA — Coca-Cola Cup". In addition, Coca-
Cola sponsors the annual Coca-Cola 600 and Coke Zero 400 for the NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina and Daytona International
Speedway in Daytona, Florida.
Coca-Cola has a long history of sports marketing relationships, which over the years have
included Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball
Association, and the National Hockey League, as well as with many teams within those
leagues. Coca-Cola has had a longtime relationship with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, due
in part to the now-famous 1979 television commercial featuring "Mean Joe" Greene, leading
to the two opening the Coca-Cola Great Hall at Heinz Field in 2001 and a more recent Coca-
Cola Zero commercial featuring Troy Polamalu.
Coca-Cola is the official soft drink of many collegiate football teams throughout the nation,
partly due to Coca-Cola providing those schools with upgraded athletic facilities in exchange
for Coca-Cola's sponsorship. This is especially prevalent at the high school level, which is
more dependent on such contracts due to tighter budgets.
Coca-Cola was one of the official sponsors of the 1996 Cricket World Cup held on the Indian
subcontinent. Coca-Cola is also one of the associate sponsors of Delhi Daredevils in
the Indian Premier League.
In England, Coca-Cola was the main sponsor of The Football League between 2004 and
2010, a name given to the three professional divisions below the Premier
League in soccer (football). In 2005, Coca-Cola launched a competition for the 72 clubs of
The Football League — it was called "Win a Player". This allowed fans to place one vote per
day for their favorite club, with one entry being chosen at random earning £250,000 for the
club; this was repeated in 2006. The "Win A Player" competition was very controversial, as
at the end of the 2 competitions, Leeds United A.F.C. had the most votes by more than
double, yet they did not win any money to spend on a new player for the club. In 2007, the
competition changed to "Buy a Player". This competition allowed fans to buy a bottle of
Coca-Cola or Coca-Cola Zero and submit the code on the wrapper on the Coca-Cola
website. This code could then earn anything from 50p to £100,000 for a club of their choice.
This competition was favored over the old "Win a Player" competition, as it allowed all clubs
to win some money. Between 1992 and 1998, Coca-Cola was the title sponsor of
the Football League Cup (Coca-Cola Cup), the secondary cup tournament of England.
Between 1994 and 1997, Coca-Cola was also the title sponsor of the Scottish League Cup,
renaming it the Coca-Cola Cup like its English counterpart. From 1998 to 2001, the company
were the title sponsor of the Irish League Cup in Northern Ireland, where it was named the
Coca-Cola League Cup.
Coca-Cola is the presenting sponsor of the Tour Championship, the final event of the PGA
Tour held each year at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, GA.
Introduced March 1, 2010, in Canada, to celebrate the 2010 Winter Olympics, Coca-Cola
sold gold colored cans in packs of 12 355 mL (12 imp fl oz; 12 US fl oz) each, in select
stores.
In 2012, Coca-Cola (Philippines) hosted/sponsored the Coca-Cola PBA Youngstars in the
Philippines.
2.7 CAUSE
In 2012, Coca-cola is listed as a partner of the (RED) campaign, together with other brands
such as Nike ,Inc , Girl, American Express & converse. The campaign’s mission is to
prevent the transmission of the HIV virus form mother to child by 2015 ( the campaign’s

3.11 HEALTH EFFECT

Since studies indicate “soda and sweetened drinks are the main source of calories in [the] American
diet”, most nutritionists advice that Coca-Cola and other soft drinks can be harmful if consumed
excessively, particularly to young children whose soft drink consumption competes with, rather than
complements, a balanced diet. Studies have shown that regular soft drinks users have a lower intake
of calcium, magnesium, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin A. The drink has also aroused criticism
for its use of caffeine, which can cause physical dependence (caffeine addiction). A link has been
shown between long-term regular cola intake and osteoporosis in older woman (but not between
long-term regular cola intake and osteoporosis in older woman (but not men). This was thought to
be due to the presence of phosphoric acid, and the acid was found to be same for caffeinated and no
caffeinated colas, as well as the same for diet and sugared colas.

A common criticism of coke based on its allegedly toxic acidity levels has been found to be baseless
by the researchers; lawsuits based on these notions have been dismissed by several American courts
for this reason. Although numerous court cases have been filed against the Coca-Cola Company
since the 1920’s, alleging that the acidity of the drink is dangerous, no evidence corroborating this
claim has been found. Under normal conditions, scientific evidence indicates Coca-Cola’s acidity
causes no immediate harm.

The 2008 Nobel Prize ( a parody of the Nobel Prizes) in Chemistry was awarded to Sheree Umpierre,
Joseph Hill and Deborah Anderson for discovering that Coca-Cola is an effective spermicide, and to
C.Y Hong, C.C Shieh, P. Wu and BN Chiang for proving its not.
