The soda making process is too time consuming, and inconvenient when a person can simply can go to the store to purchase. Consumers can either be very loyal to the brand or fickle. Influx in prices can make consumers switch very quickly. However, there are typically incentives associated with loyalty. There are giveaways and contest that entices the customers to keep purchasing. For example, Snapple does this with a real fact on every lid. I personally know people that will buy the product just to read the facts.

Entering a healthy-beverage market segment can potentially improve as well as expand Coca-Cola image. The new market segment will reel in even more consumers for the company, only

For new companies to enter the marketplace where Coca-Cola and Pepsi control the majority they need to spend time heavily on branding. The company should be easily recognizable on shelves by name and packaging. Taking, for instance, Voss Artesian Still Water, this water basically like any other water bottle, but the company decided to place the water in glass cylinder bottles reusable for use noticeable to consumers to grab their attention. A company should also give consumers a variety when it comes to their products whether it be types of drinks or flavors. Consumers like that can pick and choose what they want and they can choose with an array of options from sodas, teas, energy drinks, or sports drinks. With the negative connotation that soda drinks receive and slowing sales beverage companies should look toward the future when entering the beverage market and give consumers other options when purchasing
