Originating to as early as 1880, Dr Pepper has become one of the most famous producers of carbonated drinks around the world. On May 7, 2008 the brand was spun-off from its parent company, Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, or CSAB. The company was split into two with Dr. Pepper Snapple Group controlling its beverages operations and Cadbury Plc controlling the confectionary operations.

    Pepsi-Cola began as a drink developed by a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham in his drugstore in 1893. The soft drink was made to be a tonic to aid in digestion and as a refreshing drink that gives an energy boost. This concoction made of pepsin and kola nuts was originally called “Brad’s Drink” named after its inventor, but was later changed to Pepsi-Cola to be more marketable. Originally, this beverage was sold in drug stores and at soda fountains, but was later sold in bottled form to facilitate mass distribution. The Great Depression was a major setback for many American companies and there was no exception for Pepsi. However, the company strived to remain strong and offered its product for five cents in the mid thirties while touting that their product offered twice as much for half the price of Coke’s product. During this time their ad campaigns and marketing tactics worked and their company continued to remain profitable despite a harsh economic climate. Pepsi marketed its products to virtually everyone, young and old, but they often utilized creative marketing tactics to entice new customers to try their products. In the mid 1940’s Pepsi began a marketing campaign to gain more popularity with African American customers whom the company decided where not getting adequate attention with regards to marketing and advertising. PepsiCo today now has interests in many different brands and product lines. Some of their most notable brands familiar to consumers today are Pepsi-Cola, Frito-Lays, SoBe, Tostitos, Sabra, Near East, Pasta Roni, Sun Chips, Cheetos, Quaker, Doritos, Sierra Mist, and Dole to name a few. There is an even more diverse product portfolio that includes products marketed to international consumers to suit their individual tastes. The major suppliers for Pepsi-Cola Company include packaging…

    The severity of this of this problem is showing in exhibit 1. Where total case sales of the first 5 months of 1992 were 6,8 million the sales of the first 5 months of 1993 were 15,3 million cases. So that’s an increase of 225% in sales. And when you look at figure 1 you can really see the severity of the problem. Because normally the first five months are only 27,91% of the total sales in a year. So normal sales volume would be 24,3 million cases. But if the increase in demand stays at the same level in the second part of 1993 then total predicted sales for all Snapple products will be 54,8 million cases.…

    The company feels the Coca-Cola product is almost similar to its product. It takes on parts of its characteristics by having the name Mr. PiBB which is close to Dr. Pepper, more like creating a name for an entity. Mr. PiBB flavor was of cherry this Dr. Pepper possessed. And because both products look alike, as in they both had the same color customers might tend to switch products. So this similarities were a threat to them because they felt people might like it better than Dr. Pepper and that the Coca-Cola bottler who are currently on a franchise with them might end up giving up on Dr. Pepper and switching to Mr. PiBB. To them, this will actually means that a big drop in the sales could result, which will affect their company’s profit margin. Management of Dr. Pepper Co. are doing their best to their product into some part of the country and the world, with the competition it might start lagging behind in achieving its goal in pursuit of growth because portion of its market share will have been taken over by Mr. PiBB.…

    From being a practically unknown soft drink company to now being one of the highest performing of the 1000 largest manufacturing firms, Dr. Pepper has evolved to become an international beverage organization. Dr. Pepper began its roots back in 1880, in Waco, Texas, when a young soda jerk invented a soft drink which he named after his father-in-law (Dr. Pepper). Robert Lazenby began to market the drink on commercial basis in 1885, and it was not until 1922 that an extensive sales and distribution program was initiated. The current president of the organization is Mr. Woodrow Wilson Clements together with Joe K. Hughes who is the executive VP of the firm.

    Dr Pepper likely depends more heavily on advertising to gain market share because their product is completely different then the anchor products offered by Coke or Pepsi. Both of which are cola based products, whereas Dr Pepper is a different pepper flavored based soda. Additionally Dr Pepper is held by Cadbury Schweppes, a company who holds the third largest share of the U.S. soft drink market, behind the Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo. Inc. Given those two facts it can be inferred that Dr Pepper must spend more proportionally on advertising to appeal to the niche market soda consumer who may not like cola based sodas or cola drinkers who are looking for a similar but different alternative to cola based sodas. The Dr Pepper brand and Cadbury Schweppes together don’t really offer a like for like substitute to Coke or Pepsi rather they offer an alternative product, so lowering price to gain market share most likely wouldn’t work because the loyal Coke and Pepsi drinkers wouldn’t stop drinking their favorite cola soda to save a few cents by drinking Dr Pepper.…
