Marketing Plan - Coca-Cola Company

The following marketing plan forms the basis for the introduction of an innovative new

product by the Coca-Cola Company. The analysis allows us to outline the best strategies

to follow for the achievement of the company's strategic goals. "Bubble Buzz" will be

marketed as a unique functional drink while striving to reinforce the company's status as

the leader in innovation and successful product launches. The marketing strategies will

enable to reach a market size of an estimated 8,688,300 people (targeted) with a

forecasted sales growth prospect of 7.3% over the next 4 years ($243,029.47 profits),

while satisfying the needs of the still-unserved market for ready-to-drink bubble tea.

Success will be reflected by a sizeable capture of market shares within this market, while

strategically carrying the company up to the top spot as the market leader in the

functional drinks segment of soft drinks. Export potential will be considered in China.
