Coca-Cola is no stranger to putting together promotions to boost the brand's visibility. Coca-Cola has been around for over 100 years so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Coke team are getting pretty darn good at marketing their wares. But when you've already done everything, how do you come up with a new marketing angle? Make it personal.

Personalising Products for Individuals

Coke's marketing campaign dubbed, 'Share a Coke' has proven to be a huge success in Australia and has recently come back for a second round. What makes Aussies so taken with this particular campaign from an already successful drink manufacturer? It turns out that everyone likes something they can call their own. We're talking personalised products, literally.

The 'Share a Coke' campaign encourages customers to purchase a Coke drink and share it with a friend, a prospect that becomes even more tempting when you notice that the drinks have individual names and nicknames on them. That's right, Coca-Cola researched the most common names in Australia and customised bottles with labels featuring the names as well as some popular Aussie nicknames (like "Mate" or "Champ"). The original campaign in 2016 actively pushed against a slump the company had been feeling so it's hardly surprising that they've brought it back for Summer of 2019/2020.

But Why Does This Campaign Work?

Because we all like to connect with each other and, as Coke discovered, we like to connect with brands too. Coke offered us something unique, something personal -- they gave us our very own Coke and we appreciated it. When you're working on marketing a brand it is important to consider exactly how your product and its associated promotion will make people feel. Emotions are powerful and if you can connect to your audience in this manner they will have an even more positive experience with your brand than ever before.
