Chapter 4 Marketing Research Marketing Research • designs the method for collecting information • manages and implements the data collection process • analyzes the results • communicates the findings and their implications Failure of Coca-cola • With nearly 1 billion Coca-Cola drinks sold every single day, it is the world’s most recognized brand • Yet in 1985 the Coca-Cola Company decided to terminate its most popular soft drink and replace it with a formula it would market as New Coke Competition between Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola • Compete for more than 100 years • In the late 1950s, Coke outsold Pepsi by a ratio of more than five to one. • In 1960s, Pepsi repositioned itself as a youth brand. By narrowing its focus, Pepsi was able to position its brand against the old and classic image of its competitor Pepsi Challenge • 1970s, Pepsi testing consumers blind on the difference between its own brand and coca-cola • More than 80% believe Pepsi tastes better • In 1981, Coke’s number one status was starting to look vulnerable. New Coke • The Atlanta-based company conducted 200,000 taste tests to see how it fared. • The results were overwhelming. Not only did it taste better than the original, but people preferred it to Pepsi-Cola as well • However, if Coca-Cola was to stay ahead of Pepsi-Cola it couldn’t have two directly competing products on the shelves at the same time. • It therefore decided to scrap the original Coca-Cola and introduced New Coke in its place. “Angry” Customers • The trouble was that the Coca-Cola company had severely underestimated the power of its first brand. • On 23 April 1985, New Coke was introduced and a few days later the production of original Coke was stopped. • A large percentage of the US population immediately decided to boycott the new product. Surrender • ‘We have heard you,’ said Goizueta at a press conference on 11 July 1985. • He then left it to the company’s chief operating officer to announce the return of the product. Why did the New-cola research fail? • Focus too much on product itself • did not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola A wonderful American mystery • When Coca-Cola was launched in the 1880s it was the only product in the market. • As such, it invented a new category and the brand name became the name of the product itself. • Throughout most of the last century, Coca-Cola capitalized on its ‘original’ status in various advertising campaigns. • In 1942, magazine adverts appeared across the United States declaring: ‘The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola itself. It’s the real thing.’ Destined to fail • If you tell the world you have the ‘real thing’ you cannot then come up with a ‘new real thing’. • So despite the tremendous amount of hype which surrounded the launch of New Coke it was destined to fail • Cost over US $10 million Lessons from New Coke • Do the right market research. Despite the thousands of taste tests CocaCola carried out on its new formula, it failed to conduct adequate research into the public perception of the original brand.
