...world, some fail after a few months and others continue to grow as the years pass by. What makes the company fail or grow is the way they plan out their market plans. The marketing plans have to be taken into deeply consideration and have to work with the company in order for them to do greatly. When the marketing plans succeed, so does the company. Marketing plan is when the marketer of the company comes up with an organized plan in which the company can reach their marketing objectives. There are two plans that come into play when working on the marketing plan. The first one is called the strategic marketing plan which is when the marketer puts out an outline based on the company’s abilities and introduces it to the rest of the company’s workers. The second plan is called the tactical marketing plan which is when things like the pricing, promotion, and etc. come to play (Kotler, & Keller, Marketing Management, 2009). One company has been around for a hundred years and would continue to be around for many more to come if they stay on the path they are on now. The name of the company is International Business Machines otherwise known as IBM. The International Business Machines makes and sells both computer hardware and software (Taft, D., 2011, pg. 1). Just knowing that IBM has been around for that many years proves that their market plan has worked for them and would continue to work.

...Final Marketing Plan MKT/421 February 20, 2014 Robert Thompson Final Marketing Plan for Pepsi GO Tea The history of Pepsi-Cola dates back to 1902 when a young pharmacist named Caleb Bradham began experimenting with mixing a combination of juice, spices, and syrups to create a new and refreshing drink to satisfy his customers. In these efforts, he succeeded beyond all expectations inventing the beverage know today as Pepsi-Cola. Our goal is to be the leading producer of healthy products to include our new Go-Tea. Pepsi explored the market and will now launch a new tea for its customers. The Pepsi Go-Tea “will offer a healthier choice of tea containing low sodium, no fat, carbonation, or sugars which is a major concern for the consumer (Tea Fact Sheet, 2013).” Pepsi will make its first priority to appease to the taste of the consumer and to ensure a healthy drink is produced in the most environmentally safe containers. Team B will introduce a new tea, named “Pepsi GO Tea.” Although the Brisk product is a subsidiary of PepsiCo, the company is looking to launch a new product named Pepsi Go Tea. This new tea will be different because the oils that produce the flavor for the teas normally diminish over time. PepsiCo will use loose tea leaves opposed to rudimentary tea bags. The loose tea leaves enable room for the tea leaves to swell and expand with room to infuse their flavors. In contrast, tea bags do not render such an option based...

...Pepsi Sales Bubble with Limited Edition Soft Drinks Marketing 5000 Online Course Case Summary: Pepsi and its partner in the Japanese beverage market, Suntory, are using limited edition soft drinks to boost market share and increase sales gaining edge on its competition, Coca-Cola. Because the Japanese market is challenging, introducing a new product is very difficult. Consumers in the Japanese market would rather hunt limited-edition products made specifically for certain seasons, regions, or reasons. Others have been successful with this type of marketing their so Pepsi decided to launch its new strategy marketing limited-edition soft drinks. With its first launch the company sold out within weeks demonstrating its effectiveness. Various brand of the limited-edition beverages were launched including Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Red, Carnival, and Ice Cucumber, all were successful in the company’s new marketing strategy. Pepsi’s strategy is to create a unique flavor that will be approved by the mass and not to reintroduce it to the market, keeping the limited-edition precisely “limited.” Not only is this strategy effective in the Japanese market, it is as well in the U.S. The appeal to consumers is the value as a collector’s item, due to their novelty, rather than a beverage that is to be guzzled down. “Given the competitive environment, the pressure from retailers to make new products perform, the speed with which consumer tastes change, and the cost of launching a new soft drink, Pepsi...

...With an emphasis on sales and profit margins and looking to increase their market share organizations began to shift their attentions towards the internationals landscapes and primarily Europe. With scope of responsibility for operations, finance, marketing, and technology services in the United Kingdom, France, Holland, Ireland and Scandinavia, Peter Kendal, Pepsi-Cola’s Regional Vice President of Northern Europe, had spent several years (1980-1982) positioning Diet Pepsi for success over other industry competitors especially Coca-Cola. Kendal, however, was faced with the reality that over the next 4 months Coca-Cola intended to introduce Diet Coke into the United Kingdom Market. Despite having only approximately $200,000 in advertising monies for the next several months, Kendal needed to present a plan of attack focusing on maintaining high operating margins and market share. Before formulating implantation strategies one must understand the landscape in which they operate. Traditionally, Coca-Cola had outpaced Pepsi-Cola by a ratio of 4:1 in international operations however Pepsi-Cola dominated the Europe and UK Diet segmentation and looked to maintain this momentum. Several other products occupied the space in which Pepsi competed including tea’s and coffee, squashes, and...

...Case Analysis: PEPSI-COLA UK Peter Kendall, regional vice president for northern Europe of Pepsi-Cola International, had a difficult situation where he was potentially being challenged by Coca-Cola entering the UK with the introduction of their successfully launched product “ diet coke” which was a growing segment in the US and would be in UK as well. Let us consider a SWOT analysis of PEPSI-COLA in UK as of 1982. Strengths: Pepsi-Cola definitely had a head start in the cola market in the U.K. After the worldwide recession, Europe was beginning to recover and UK had led the growth in 1982, with a 6.5% increase from 695 to 740 million cases. The Pepsi challenge, which was widely successful in the US, was also launched in the UK and was resulting in market share increase. Along with the success of the “Pepsi Challenge”, Diet Pepsi gained more market share due to the leverage of the Pepsi name along with their “upbeat” advertising techniques that essentially resonated better with consumers compared to TAB. Weaknesses: Although Pepsi had a head start in the UK, the Coca-Cola brand “Diet Coke” was a huge hit in the United States. It was increasing its hold in the diet beverage segment. Coca-Cola was also known to give huge price discounts to earn exclusive dealerships, which was also a huge threat to Pepsi-Cola. In regards to convenience, Pepsi-Cola had an unfavorable market percentage in vending machines (12% overall) compared to Coca-Cola with shares of 26% and 41%, respectively...

However, following a flurry of negative publicity for sugary drinks, one major factor for the market and Pepsi themselves to consider is the health implications. With sugary drinks being linked as a “root cause” for obesity, importantly, recent legislation has been introduced, for example, limiting advertising to children, a huge lucrative market segment that Pepsi and other companies in the market have traditionally...

...Paper University of Phoenix Christy Holley Environmental Factors for PepsiCo PepsiCo, one of the leading beverage and snack companies in the United States and abroad, is affected by both global and domestic environmental factors. These factors, along with changes in technology, all impact and shape the organization and affect marketing decisions. The article “PepsiCo Pops for China,” written by Ruthie Ackerman and published by Forbes.com, reviews Pepsi’s decision to invest billions into the Chinese market audience. This paper will review the article, identify environmental factors that shape the organization and impact marketing decisions, and discuss how technology plays a role in those decisions. Alternatives to Ackerman’s view of social responsibility to the company’s marketing decisions and activities will be analyzed, along with explanations of how ethical issues can make an impact. The accuracy of the article’s forecasts will be reviewed and further supportive references to conclusions made will be gathered, if necessary. Global and Domestic Factors Several macro-environmental factors shape the PepsiCo Corporation and impact marketing decisions. Demographics, economic climate, ecological and political issues, technology, and cultural concerns all affect where the company is headed desires and the decisions the company makes.

Culture refers to widely shared norms or patterns of behavior of a large group of people. It is the values, attitudes, beliefs, artifacts and other meaningful symbols represented in the pattern of life adopted by people that help them interpret, evaluate and communicate as members of society. The cultural dimension of international marketing research affects research topic, research design and plan, data collection and measurement, data analysis and interpretation. The article provides illustrative demonstration of the impacts of cross cultural differences (language, etiquette, non-verbal communication, norms and values) on the marketing mix: Product: A soft drink was introduced into Arab countries with an attractive label that had six-pointed stars on it. The Arabs interpreted this as pro-Israeli and refused to buy it. Place: A drinks company tried to introduce a two-litre drinks bottle into Spain unsuccessfully only to discover later that Spaniards had fridge doors large enough to accommodate the large size bottle.
