PLACE

‘Place’ is defined as the way in

which a company makes a

product or service available to

consumers. This includes all

aspects of distribution as well

as the manner in which items

are displayed in shops. In the

soft drinks market shelf space

is critical. If products cannot be

seen, they cannot be

purchased. In order to

guarantee itself adequate shelf

space, Sprite went to

exceptional lengths.

SWOT• Strengths – Manufactured by the Coca-Cola company therefore very well

funded, clear colour (good for people with braces or dental appliances), caffeine-free; versatile: can be mixed with other juices to create different taste sensations.

• Weaknesses – Contents of the product are all chemical based which may cause health conscious people to avoid it; 7UP’s (major competitor) website is far more informative than that of Sprite. it offers nutritive facts and answers to frequently asked questions which the Sprite website lacks. Infrequent promotional campaigns and a mixed up voice of communication.

• Opportunities – People tend to believe that high amount of bubbles in Sprite settles down stomach; People who limit their caffeine intake prefer lemon lime soft drinks.

• Threats - 7UP (major competitor) has recently been made a healthier soft drink. As well as competition from other brands in the lemon lime soft drink field
