Marketing
Segmentation
PepsiCo provides different products in different countries depend on living standard and culture. Therefore, PepsiCo have to do
surveys and researches of customers needs and their lifestyles and target them with suitable products. Consumers will
purchase the products depend on their taste and preference. So, sales of the company may increase if the company provides
the products based on consumers requirement. In the Middle East, zero-calorie Pepsi Max posted strong growth, and
Mountain Dew surged ahead in markets like Nigeria and Pakistan. In Asia, new marketing drove double-digit growth in nonsugar colas in virtually all markets particularly in China and Thailand reported by Michael D. White, Vice Chairman, PepsiCo
CEO, PepsiCo International in the Pepsi Co 2007 annual report. Citizens of Middle East preferred Diet Pepsi Max because some
of them drink Pepsi for the purpose of refreshment. If PepsiCo provide Pepsi Free (calories and caffeine free) only in Middle
East, then the sales in Middle East is unsuccessful. This showed that PepsiCo has used market segmentation strategy and
success in booming the sales.
Socioeconomic
Pepsi was targeted on sport enthusiast, thus it provides sport drinks to fulfill them where it can enter a new market. In year
2007, PepsiCo has engaged with golfer Tiger Woods who is famous on playing golf to advertise this product (Amore, M 2007).
After signed the contract, the product name has changed to Gatorade Tiger where this product is mainly for athletes. With the
cooperation from Tiger Wood, the first product in the new market has hit store shelves in March 2008. This is one of the
strategies of PepsiCo to attract the consumers. Besides, David Beckham is also one of the soccer superstar engaged with
PepsiCo in the year of 2004 (David Beckham Beckhams Pepsi AD Hits Screens, 2004). He is footballs idol where can attracts
those fans to purchase Pepsi products especially when he won the soccer competitions.
Mostly, health experts will not encourage consumers to consume soft drink due to caffeine component inside soft drinks.
PepsiCo has done researches on some countries population such as Canadians, Australians and etc. They are always treat
health as their main concern, so PepsiCo targets those countries by manufacturing new and healthier products such as Diet
Pepsi and Pepsi Free in order to enter the market easily. Diet Pepsi is a beverage with low calories and sugar free while Pepsi
Free is caffeine free (List of Pepsi Types). These products are more suitable for on-diet and health concern people. Besides,
PepsiCo provides other beverages such as juice, fruit flavored energy drinks and mineral water to fulfill the consumers
requirements.
Conclusion
As a result, market segmentation is important to companies so that firms can easily enter the market and have a potential
growth. If PepsiCo does not target young population in the beginning, it is hard to occupy the market and compete with its
competitor which is Coca-cola. Pepsi can continue hire popular celebrities to advertise their products in different market such
