Strategies followed by the company

• One of Coca cola’s goals is to maximize growth and profitability to create value for our shareholders. Coca cola’s efforts to achieve this goal are based on:

• Transforming its commercial models to focus on our customers’ value potential and using a value-based segmentation approach to capture the industry’s value potential.

• Implementing multi-segmentation strategies in its major markets to target distinct market clusters divided by consumption occasion, competitive intensity and socioeconomic levels.

• Implementing well-planned product, packaging and pricing strategies through different distribution channels.

• Driving product innovation along with different product categories

• Achieving the full operating potential of various commercial models and processes to drive operational efficiencies throughout the company.

Distribution strategy

• The company operates a franchised distribution system dating from 1889 where The Coca-Cola Company only produces syrup concentrate which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold an exclusive territory.

• Hub and Spoke model for rural distribution channel, in which they divided the different categories of distributors according to the area they are covering.

Coca Cola Company makes two types of selling

• Direct selling -In direct selling they supply their products in shops by using their own transports. They have almost 450 vehicles to supply their bottles. In this type of selling company have more profit margin.

• Indirect selling -They have their whole sellers and agencies to cover all area. Because it is very difficult for them to cover all area of Pakistan by their own so they have so many whole sellers and agencies to assure their customers for availability of coca cola products.

Promotion

PUSH STRATEGY• Coca cola is using Push strategy in which they use its sales force and trade promotion money to induce

intermediaries to carry, promote and sell the product to end users i.e. consumers.

• For example-as coca cola is giving free pet bottles and other trade schemes to distributors, agency owners and retailers.

PULL STRATEGY• Coca-cola is also using Pull strategy in which they are using advertising and promotion to persuade

consumers to ask intermediaries for the company brand product by this way coca cola inducing customer to order it from shopkeeper.

Contingency planDeclining Consumer Demand

• Reduced consumer confidence and disposable income, together with challenging macro-economic conditions could lead to reduced demand for our products due to lower consumer spending. This trend continued in 2012 in our established and developing markets as the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis remains a key issue.

Foreign exchange

• Our foreign exchange exposure arises from adverse changes in exchange rates between the euro, the US dollar and the functional currencies in our non-euro countries.

• This exposure affects our results in the following ways:

• raw materials purchased in currencies such as the US dollar or euro can lead to higher cost of sales which, if not recovered in local pricing or through cost reduction initiatives, might lead to reduced profit margins;

• devaluations of weaker currencies that are accompanied by high inflation and declining purchasing power can adversely affect sales and unit case volumes; and

• As some operations have functional currencies other than our presentation currency (euro), any change in the functional currency against the euro impacts our income statement and balance sheet when results are translated into euros, as this exposure is unhedged.

• In 2012, we experienced devaluations in two of our markets.

Channel mix• The increasing concentration of retailers and independent wholesalers, on which we depend to distribute our products in

certain countries, could lower our profitability and harm our ability to compete.• In addition, the immediate consumption channel is under pressure as consumers switch increasingly to at-home

consumption.• This trend continued in 2012 with many in the hotel/restaurant/café segment going out of business.Climate Change• Climate change presents significant long-term risks to our business – from rising energy costs to threats to our agricultural

supply chain and availability of water. Adverse weather conditions could reduce demand for our products and the price and availability of key crops (e.g. sugar). Water scarcity could limit availability for our operations. Increased regulation on carbon emissions could increase costs for our business.

• In 2012, there was no significant change to this risk.Product quality• Contamination of our products could damage our reputation and depress our revenues.• In 2012, we experienced three public product recalls in Greece, the first in our business since its inception.Safety• Adverse safety performance can affect our reputation with customers, consumers, communities and employees. It also leads

to lost-time incidents, which represent both a human and financial cost to the business. Our highest risks are around road safety because of the amount of travel within our distribution infrastructure, and because road safety in general is a challenge in some of our emerging markets
