Pepsi is a soft drink produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold in many places such as retail stores, restaurants, schools, cinemas and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. The brand was trademarked on June 16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the years since 1898. PepsiCo brands are available in nearly 200 countries and territories. Many of PepsiCo's brand names are over 100-years-old, but the corporation is relatively young. PepsiCo was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Tropicana was acquired in 1998 and PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company, including Gatorade, in 2001. PepsiCo (symbol: PEP) shares are traded principally on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. The company is also listed on the Amsterdam, Chicago, Swiss and Tokyo stock exchanges. PepsiCo has consistently paid cash dividends since the corporation was founded. PepsiCo World Headquarters is located in Purchase, New York, approximately 45 minutes from New York City.

Issues
?

Hard to differentiate product in terms of taste as product variety is very limited within cola based beverages. Coca-cola has such a strong base of loyal customers, who identify with the cola brand.

?

?

Consumer tastes are changing, away from carbonated drinks towards functional soft drinks. (Mintel, et al. 2009)

Pepsi’s Successes and Failures in Brazil and Germany
? ?

? ? ? ?

PesiCo has been operating in Brazil since 1953 “Pepsi?s heavy new investment in Brazil, which actually started early this year, is funneled through a joint venture with Baesa, a bottler based in Buenos Aires that operates in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.” PepsiCo in Germany made a smarter move by acquiring Punica, Germany?s premiere juice provider. PepsiCo is one of the world?s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of beverages Pepsi has very limited brands in Germany. Their struggles in Germany include Coca-cola and a rash of suicidal commercials for Pepsi Max that depicts a single lonely calorie committing suicide.

Conclusion
? ? ? ? ? ?

It can be seen then that differences do exist between Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola. This can be seen in the marketing variables which are the basis for segmentation such as age and geographic variables. In a competitive market, both companies must identify and target different market segments in order to remain at the cutting edge. Differences between the companies are evident with respect to product, pricing, place and promotion. Coca-cola relies heavily on value: quality is more than something we see or taste. (http://www.coca-cola.com). Pepsi, on the other hand, relies on its success resulting from superior products and high standards of performance (http://www.pepsico.com).
