Innovative Marketing: Make Your Own Coke
2011, Aug 26
Coca-Cola has launched its new application
on Facebook called Freestyle . This application allows users to not only create
their own beverage, but also to name their creations. Out of 125 drinks
available under the brand such as Fanta and Sprite, users can mix and match
according to their preferences and make an innovative drink.
Quite interesting but do you get to drink
your own creation? Depends on where you're living. This is not just a virtual
campaign but Coca-Cola is actually rolling out vending machines which will let
you do the same.
These vending machines are currently
available in around 1,500 outlets in the US, but Coca-Cola plans to campaign
around Freestyle next year where they will also be integrating 2D
barcodes. So when you virtually make a
drink for yourself, the application will generate a barcode which you can scan to
the vending machine.
Freestyle is not just a Facebook
application, but can also be downloaded on your iPhone or Android phone.
Coca-Cola has integrated this digital campaign with outdoor advertising as well.
The brand already has a good presence on social networking sites and this could
help their case further. If successful, we might soon hear names like Coca-Cola
Grape or Lime Fanta.
Are you interested in experimenting with
your soft drinks? Let us know your thoughts
on this concept.
