Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

3. By 1886, druggist and part-owner of nine different pharmaceutical firms,
John Styth Pemberton failed repeatedly in his quest to develop a patent
medicine
One attempt was to concoct a non-alcoholic version of the best-selling
French Wine of Coca
Of which alcohol and cocaine were the main ingredients
Pemberton dropped the mood-depressing alcohol and replaced it with an
extract of African kola nut
Pemberton, partner Frank M. Robinson and drug store owner Dr Joseph
Jacobs tasted the first-ever glasses on May 8, 1886
The taste test was a success. And the name?
Robinson called the new beverage Coca-Cola
It sold moderately well in drugstores and soda fountains of Atlanta
3
4. 4
Pemberton decided to sell two thirds of his share to Robinson
For $283.24
Then came Atlanta drug store owner and patent medicine manufacturer Asa
Griggs Candler
Who became the new driving force of the partnership
Who knew that the patent medicine days were over
He bought Pemberton’s remaining stake for $550
Dropped the drink’s medicinal claims and rebranded Coca-Cola as a simple
but highly refreshing drink
It’s an insight that remains alive and well right up to the present day
5. For Coca-Cola, Candler’s sales drive was two-pronged:
Make it available to as many customers as possible
Make it available where customers bought its competitors
He hired cotton buyers as new additions to the sales force
And sent them everywhere – they knew the country
And despite press campaigns against the evils of cocaine, by1891 syrup sales
had rocketed to nearly 20,000 gallons
And doubled a year later
By 1902, Atlanta’s Coke was selling in far away New England
As a first step in regionalised syrup production, Chicago got its own syrup
factory
Within 10 years, supported by a 25% turnover ad spend, Coca-Cola was
America’s single most advertised and best-known product
But with growth came distribution problems
5
6. Sure you could sell the syrup. But you couldn’t sell the drink
Because the bottles you put it in were prone to explode
Entrepreneur Joseph Biedenharn stepped in, sending Candler the first ever
two dozen cases of a new-style bottled Coke
Candler was hesitant but Biedenharn’s logic won the day:
Taking the drink to the people was simpler than taking the people to the
drink
By 1899, lawyers Benjamin Thomas and James Whitehead pushed Candler
on the potential of nationwide bottling
And bought the US Coke bottling franchise . For one dollar
By1917, Whitehead, short of capital, sold half of his share for $5,000
The sale literally created whole dynasties of bottling families
It divided the country by sub-licensing franchises to hundreds of people who
did have the capital
6
7. And it granted exclusive territories in perpetuity
Which made Coca-Cola omnipresent in the U.S. and created a bottling
network that persisted for most of company history
The franchises both made a lot of people wealthy
And gave Coca-Cola a breadth and depth of national distribution undreamed
of by other soft drink companies
With the final removal of cocaine, Coke was poised to become what it still is: a
drink
A fact which foreshadowed and inspired its advertising
By 1908, Good to the Last Drop became Coca-Cola’s new slogan
For 10 years, Coke sailed on smooth waters, but change was coming
In 1919, the Candler family sold out to Atlanta financier Ernest Woodruff
Who, new to the business and finding it problematic, soon passed the baton
to his son, Robert W. Woodruff
7
8. Who set about fixing the problems he found
He decentralized his sales team
Creating a team of ‘retail sales experts’ as opposed to syrup pushers
He turned his attention to the bottlers too
Who must do better for Coke than they did for its competitors
Woodruff provided the tools for the job
Coke now had its first modern CEO
1929: the year of that Coke icon, the top loading cooler
Which meant cold Cokes for everyone, everywhere
Bottle sales promptly exceeded fountain sales, as more retailers flocked back
to Coke
Further expansion came in the form of a syrup concentrate
Overseas bottlers could now add their own sugar, water and CO2
By 1930, 60 bottlers in 28 countries serviced sales in 76 countries
8
9. 9
Double the 1926 figures
But there was a cloud on the horizon. And its name was: Pepsi
As Pepsi appeared, one of Coke’s founding fathers disappeared: Archie Lee
Lee had been the master-advertiser from the start
But with his passing, the first half of the 1950s saw the company’s famous
advertising confidence begin to lose its way
Advertising was handed over to the ad agency giant, McCann Erikson
Whose executives convinced the company that they had to get into the
trenches and fight the upstart of Pepsi’s head on
The single brand strategy, for example, was past its sell-by date
It was time for Coca-Cola to make changes and to adapt to modern times: to
extend and to acquire
10. MINUTE MAID
In 1960, Coca-Cola purchased Minute Maid Company, which launched it as a
true beverage company.
Opening up a new market share for the company, with orange juice
marketed as an alternative drink to Coke
SPRITE
In 1961, Sprite was launched to compete with Seven-Up
The new brand accounted for full 1/6 of the total industry volume
TAB & FANTA
In 1963, Tab was launched as a private label to compete within the diet cola
category
Fanta was added, which further broadened the brand’s portfolio
11
11. DUNCAN FOODS
In 1964, Duncan Foods was purchased and jumpstarted the expansion of the
company into the tea and coffee categories
FRESCA
In 1966, Coca-Cola launched Fresca, a calorie-free, grapefruit-flavored soft
drink targeting the adult palate
NON-RETURNABLE BOTTLES/CANS
As bottle returning gained popularity in the early 1960s, Coca-Cola joined
the bandwagon
But by the end of the decade, 40% of the industry’s products came in one-way
containers
12
12. MODERN ADVERTISING
Coca-Cola’s advertising had also found its feet again, echoing the early
confidence and concision of Archie Lee
A new campaign direction prompted the biggest brand overhaul in history
(Project Arden)
SYRUP CONCENTRATE
The increasing size and geographic reach of the major retailers, who
exceeded the bottler territories, posed difficulties for Coke
After much bottler aggression, a deal was struck
After a price hike of 24%, the bottlers could buy concentrate which would
thereafter go up in price in line with the Consumer Price Index, instead of
when Coke felt like it
It was a move that would scar the company.
13
13. COLUMBIA PICTURES
In 1982, Columbia Pictures Industries was purchased by newly appointed
CEO Goizueta
But actors and actresses were a less tractable proposition than a bottle of
Coke
Five years later, Sony bought 51%. By 1989, Coke was no longer in
entertainment
DIET COKE
Launched on August 9,1982, Diet Coke was a sparkling success, the world’s
number 2 selling carbonated drink, next to Coca-Cola.
Diet Coke expanded further with the birth of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke in 1983,
Cherry Coke in 1985 and Diet Cherry Coke in 1986
New Coke was launched, benefitted Pepsi, and rapidly unlaunched.
14
14. COCA-COLA CLASSIC
In April 23, 1985, Coca-Cola Classic was back on the market
COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES
Goizueta regained control of the American bottling network
He bought the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York for $215M
Associated Coca-Cola Bottling Company for $417.5M
And both JTL Corporation and the bottling by Beatrice Foods for $2.4B
Creating Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) which later merged with Johnston
Coca-Cola Bottling Group in 1991
GLOBAL SPONSORSHIPS
Global events such as Olympics and World Cup benefited the brand greatly
15
15. 1897
First sales to Canada and Mexico
1906
First international bottler established in Panama
1972
Coca-Cola entered the Chinese market
1957
Sierra Leone became the 100th country
Coca-Cola now sold in 200 countries worldwide
The international unit case volume exceeds the unit case volume in the
United States
17
16. Early-mid 2000s: the company is split into bottling and non-bottling functions
via:
Bottling Investments
Corporate
Corporate Group has 8 regions - Europe, Eurasia & Middle East, North

Unit volume increases by 4%

450 more lines added to beverage portfolio, including Glacéau
On the bottling investments side, the newly owned Philippines set-up
stabilizes the business
20
19. Bottlers in the German market combined into one unit to ensure greater
consistency of approach
The company begins to take environmental concerns more seriously with its
production of the world’s largest PET bottle recycling plant
Muhtar Kent becomes CEO
2008
Despite the global economic problems in the second half of 2008, an extra
billion cases are sold
Beverages double sales to 22% within 8 years and deliver nearly 60% of
company growth
Glacéau increases Northern American case volume by double-digits,
launching in 5 new markets: Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Mexico and New
Zealand
21
20. Coke Zero grows with 35% share, hitting 52 new markets

22
21. 2010

huge cost, after the sale to CCE of Norwegian and Swedish bottlers
CEE North American bottling operation becomes an order of magnitude
larger, encompassing 75% of US bottler volume and almost 100% of

The company grows case volume by 5%, adding another billion cases of

in top line sales
The rising star of the company is Minute Maid Pulpy, the biggest driver of a
21% increase in still sales in Eurasia & Africa

24
23. BRAND BUILDING
From iconic advertising to the most liked page on Facebook via the most
effective global events sponsorships and mastery of the science of impulse
purchasing, Coke continues to set standards of marketing excellence across
the brand management spectrum
LOCAL FOCUS
Given the economics of bottling and canning - it’s expensive to ship
something that is 99% water over long distances - the company always had
to have a local focus on the operations side
OPTIMISM
97% of beverages consumed in the world aren’t provided by Coca-Cola. This
continuously feeds Coke’s unquenchable optimism for what the future holds
25
24. The Coca-Cola Company is one of the most written-about and best
understood packaged goods companies in the world
The mushrooming of the brand portfolio has not led Coke astray or
compromised the progress on the Coca-Cola brand itself; Coca-Cola Zero
has been one of the brand success stories of the 21st-century
This is now a very different company from the one that thought the market
for carbonated beverages had maxed out and they should get into the
movie business
Or the one that believed the Pepsi Challenge meant they had to launch New
Coke
It is a company that has manoeuvred itself into a very strong position to
capture future growth, particularly in emerging markets, while still
continuing to build its core
Given the scale of opportunity in emerging markets, Coke is now more
dependent on the performance of the US market than it has been for
decades
26
