Memo

We can see that they drink is really refreshing. This advertisement really shows how Pepsi-Cola is refreshing and satisfactory. A Pepsi on a hot, sunny afternoon is simply amazing, whether one is spending the day with their family, friends, and couple, at a party or even while working. Drinking a Pepsi can make your life simply better; it makes you forget about your problems. Even if you are not on the beach, you can pull out a chain in your back door porch, pull out your bucket of Pepsi with a bunch of ice. Get a little table, set it on the side of your chair, turn your Pandora on and put your life in pause and enjoy the hot sunny afternoon as if you were out on the beach with your friend. It can’t get better than that can

     PepsiCo. Incorporated and The Coca-Cola Company are the two largest and oldest archrivals in the carbonated soft drink (CSD) industry. Coca-Cola was invented and first marketed in 1886, followed by Pepsi Cola in 1898. Coca-Cola was named after the coca leaves and kola nuts John Pemberton used to make it, and Pepsi Cola after the beneficial effects its creator, Caleb Bradham, claimed it had on dyspepsia. The rivalry between the soda giants, also known as the "Cola Wars", began in the 1960’s when Coca-Cola's dominance was being increasingly challenged by Pepsi Cola. The competitive environment between the rivals was intense and well-publicized, forcing both companies to continuously establish and

Realizing that Part A had some flaws, and could prove to become very expensive for those patients who were chronically ill and might not be able to afford treatment within the given coverage guidelines of Medicare Part A, CMS devised an optional Medicare Part B program, commonly referred to as “physician services”.  Medicare Part B not only adds additional insurance, but also covers other health care needs, particularly those not covered by Part A.  This Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) does not cover the services 100%, but rather 80%, where the beneficiary would only be responsible for the remaining 20%, also known as a coinsurance.

In the long term prospects, Pepsi will fare better because of its better marketing and advertising strategies, more widely accepted and more market share.

Pepsi is a world famous carbonated soft drink made by American company PepsiCo. Its distinctive blue packaging makes a huge contrast with its long-time rival’s signature red packing, Coca-Cola. First introduced as 'Brad's Drink' in North Carolina, USA at 1893 before renaming to Pepsi at 1898, Pepsi has always trying to be the dominant brand in soft-drink market while completing with Coca-Cola, known as the Cola War, where the two brands used a series of television advertisements and marketing campaigns trying to get more influence in the soft-drink market among the consumers. Pepsi launched its new commercial advertisement ‘Live For Now Moments Anthem’ in April 2017, as a part of its previously launched Pepsi's first global campaign ‘Live For Now’ in April 2012. The protest-themed advertisement, however, not only was nowhere near Pepsi’s original expectation, but it causes a huge ethical issue, backlash and controversy that made Pepsi took down the advertisement and issue an apology in less than a few days.

These two-company’s economic characteristic include their market size and growth rate from the early 2000’s to 2010. Coke and Pepsi have struggled for years in the carbonated and non-alcoholic sector. According to Barbara Murray (2006c) "But as the pop fight has topped out, the industry 's giants have begun relying on new product flavors and looking to noncarbonated beverages for growth.” (Murry, 2006). For instance, Coke boasts in the advertisement as the king of the soft drink; as a consumer of both products, I agree. About 15 years ago, I was selected to participate in a critiquing of Coke and Pepsi products. Additionally, my travel to Africa in 2007 and 2010 provided the same raving review for the Coke Cola products. Apparently, Coke and Pepsi have been rivals for ages locally, regionally, nationally, multinational, and globally, therefore, one expects them to have an on-going rivalry when marketing the high-energy beverages.

The most significant challenge that faces Pepsi is how to continue to produce in popular dark carbonated beverage indefinitely, but also diversify its product line sufficiently enough to capture as much market share as possible as the new non-carbonated trend continues to gain in consumer salience.

PepsiCo’s corporate strategy had diversified, in 2008, the company into salty and sweet snacks, soft drinks, orange juice, bottled water, and ready-to-eat drink teas and coffees, purified and functional waters, isotonic beverages, hot and ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, grain-based products, and breakfast condiments. Strategies that kept their brands at the top were tied to new product innovation, close relationships with distribution allies, international expansion, and strategic acquisitions. A new element of PepsiCo’s corporate strategy was product reformulations to make snack

Last year, Coca-cola saw its sales decreased in the European market. In order to increase the sales, Coca-Cola needs to define a new strategic communications plan. As mentioned above the image of Coca-Cola has been damaged quite a lot for the past 2 years by different factors. A hard work needed to deal with consequences of this damage in the image of the company.

According to PepsiCo SWOT, “it is better equipped to satisfy the needs of customers with a wide variety of successful products” (2008). PepsiCo managed to present almost every type of drink and food brands. The merchandise that is earned is the majority of their revenue. This makes them extremely at risk to change any of their marketing products. However

Belch and Belch (2001) stated that the ultimate goal of an organization is to create brand loyalty, which in return, ensures continued patronage. Pepsi Cola is one of the world’s most popular drinks holding about 29.3% of the entire fizzy drinks market (Esterel, 2011). Pepsi cola is a brand known for reinventing itself with its various logo changes. These rebranding campaigns have been strategically positioned to keep the Pepsi brand relevant within its target audience, the youth. Pepsi still desires to be perceived as trendy, and appealing to the younger generation. The rebranding campaigns are meant to appeal to the forth-coming generation and eventually create brand loyalty. Pepsi have adopted a brand campaign set to distinguish them from other brands. They present the brand as a contemporary product as opposed to a classic relic and thus they grab the attention of the youth. It is therefore very important to understand the loyalty consumers have towards a “brand” that has undergone several changes that include facelifts and general rebranding. It should however be noted that any one of these evolutionary trends will always have consequences. It would be interesting to unravel how much of a success Pepsi has achieved over the years especially with its most recent rebranding

Pepsi-Cola brand is a brand that has been established within the refreshment industry since the 19th century. Pepsi pride the business of consumer products in beverages and snacks, on being one of the best in the world. They seek

Pepsi Co started in 1965 and became one of the world 's highest end user product businesses with a number of important and precious trademarks (Bongiorno, 1996, p 70).
