Consumerism as an art

 

            Goizueta's goal was to ultimately have a tap in the kitchen marked "C" for coke, and began to view not only Pepsi but also all other beverages as potential competitors. Unfortunately for society this competition, although increasing choice in products for consumers, meant foreign companies had access to cultures and added their ideologies through food, media, fashion and so forth. Soon the soft drink market was well under way, through advertising, through fashion and through smart marketing such as selling 2 litre Coca-Cola bottles next to microwaveable popcorn in video stores in order to retain the company's goal of being within "arm's reach of desire", better understood by the consumer as the creation of "desire within arm's reach". .
             Television advertising accounts for roughly 25% of Coca-Cola's consumer pressure globally. In-store promotions have a greater affect on more sophisticated consumers such as the US, simply because of the way consumers process messages.

Customised packaging and graphics have been introduced in certain markets in order to appeal further to youth, for example in New York they launched a trendier and slimmer can.
