Developing the Marketing 
Mix 
 
 The marketing mix is probably the most crucial 
stage of the marketing planning process. 
 Product 
Consumers will buy the coke product 
because of the high standards and high 
quality of the Coca Cola products. 
 Positioning 
Coca Cola and Franklins both make soft 
drinks; although Franklins may try to 
compete they will still be seen as down 
market from Coca Cola.
 Price 
Price is a very important part of the 
marketing mix as it can effect both the 
supply and demand for Coca Cola. The price 
of Coca Cola’s products  
is one of the most 
important factors in a customer’s decision to 
buy. 
 Pricing Strategies and Tactics 
Once customer loyalty is established as seen 
with Coca Cola it is then able to slowly raise 
the price of its product. 
 Pricing Methods 
Over the years Coca has lost ground here in 
its pricing but has regained its strength as it 
employed the Competition-based pricing 
method which allowed it to compete more 
effectively in the soft drink market.
 
 Promotion 
Coca Cola also utilizes below the line 
promotions such as contests, coupons, and 
free samples. 
 Place and Distribution 
One key element of the “Place or 
Distribution” aspect is the respective 
distribution channels that Coca Cola has 
elected to transport and sells its product.
