Coca-cola markets its products by creating unique experiences for its customers. An example is the "Share a Coke" campaign, where the company printed different names on Coca-Cola cans. I believe that this strategy effectively enhanced customer loyalty by developing a positive attitude from consumers and achieving the self-actualization needs of consumers. This strategy can be effective in a saturated market where customers look beyond quality and price when purchasing products due to the availability of a wide range of alternatives.
In conclusion, the marketing campaign adopted by Coca-Cola effectively creates a significant differentiation of teh company from its competitors. Furthermore, the community engagement strategies have enabled the company to achieve high brand awareness. These marketing strategies have positively contributed to the growth and development of the company.
