Do you recall the old proverb about how computing would improve our lives? We would have more free time and live healthier, happier lives. The truth is that computers make information processing lightning quick. The computer and the Internet have introduced into our lives so much more information to process and so many more distractions. The conclusion? Today, we spend more time operating a computer (for pleasure and profit) than on any other solitary activity, with the possible exception of sleeping. And if you're a heavy computer user like me, sleep occasionally takes a back position to computer use. There are health risks associated with prolonged computer use. I have personally experienced back and shoulder pain, eye strain, and finger paralysis. Even stiff joints and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have plagued me. None of this was entertaining. But I have learned a few things of sufficient importance to share with you today. Here are some immediate steps you can take to reduce or eli...
"The package with the finest design currently in use."
On the six-and-a-half-ounce Coca-Cola bottle, Raymond Loewy stated that the people of Atlanta (the Coca-Cola base) believed that the Coke bottle was their greatest strength. They employed this in every advertisement and even trademarked it.
However, every asset has a corresponding weakness Guerrilla marketers understand this.
In the early 1930s, a combination of economic circumstances and guerilla tactics helped the minnows of the cola conflict emerge from the water. During the Great Depression, currency was scarce.
The key marketing strategy of Pepsi cola was the 12-ounce container that sold for the same price as a six-and-a-half-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola.
It was a brilliant strategy that was executed magnificently; it hit the mark, particularly with the young cola, as children favored quantity over quality. Pepsi employs this proverb and hits the mark. It was a flawless guerrilla assault. Coca-Cola spent approximately $15 million that year while Pepsi's advertising expenditure was $600,000 for a 12-ounce bottle.
Now soda was available. They cannot increase the capacity of each container without spending a billion dollars and their greatest strength is the 6.5-ounce bottle.
Guerrilla understands how to exploit the circumstance. Even a competitor with overwhelming strength. Pepsi is aware that it would be difficult for Coca-Cola to retaliate against a swift attack, and that there will be a two-year delay between the two companies' responses.
Then the final nail was driven into the coffin of Pepsi Generation. Coca-cola was a 100-year-old brand that people used to recognize, so older people were more eager to consume it. Younger people have a natural tendency to rebel against traditional methods of doing things and living. Pepsi generation increased the intensity. In 1964, the slogan "Come alive, you're in the Pepsi generation" gave the concept of flight.
The new Pepsi strategy was to position the competition as "out-of-step, out-of-touch, and out-of-date."
In addition, this strategy targets young people whose natural tendency is to compete with older generations. Pepsi also uses music, a traditional weapon of adolescents, to demonstrate their rebellious attitude. The younger generation began to identify with Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie. As a result, coke's lead was reduced from 2.5 to 1 to 1.25 to 1, and eventually, under the capable stewardship of John Shcoulley, Pepsi overtook coke as the market leader.
Reconsider what coke potency actually was.
