			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Your new travel guides?Mary Kay and David McLane take over Charleston Resort Maps operations</strong></p>
<p>CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA…</p>
<p>Resort Maps, creator of more than 90 customized travel maps across the United States, England and Puerto Rico, recently announced Mary Kay and David McLane as the new owners of their Charleston, South Carolina operations. The Charleston residents took over the publishing of the South Carolina map for Judy Warner, effective October 1, 2009.</p>
<p>Resort Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps of towns and cities, distributed free to area visitors at rest and travel information areas as well by advertisers. The Best of Charleston Map highlights local attractions, restaurants, accommodations, retail shops, real estate and other services in the greater Charleston area. Each advertiser on the map is represented with a display ad surrounding the perimeter of the map, including a color-coded grid locator and their actual building drawn, highlighted and labeled, making it easy to locate.</p>
<p>“Resort Maps is a great business opportunity for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it’s a great product that provides a great vehicle for advertisers to showcase their businesses while offering invaluable service to people visiting Charleston,” said David McLane. “The other main appeal of the Resort Maps business opportunity is that it fits our lifestyle and gives us a chance to get to meet and know more people in the Charleston community.”</p>
<p>Hailing from central Pennsylvania, David and Mary Kay purchased a second home in Charleston in 2006. Since that time, both David, a clinical psychologist, and Mary Kay, healthcare and retails sales, retired from their respective careers.</p>
<p>“We’re extremely excited about this opportunity. We fell in love with Charleston on our first visit and it’s always been a popular destination for tourists, particularly as people stay closer to home during their vacations,” said McLane. “The Best of Charleston map offers a real treasure trove of things to do for people vacationing in the area or just down for a day or two. Our free ‘souvenir style’ maps can be found not only at the local advertisers’ shops but also at many non-advertiser locations throughout Charleston.”</p>
<p>These same colorful maps can be found on-line at www.resortmaps.com. Here you will find interactive maps of all 90+ resort areas to choose from. These interactive maps allow the viewer to read a description of each business as they scroll over each building and to connect to the website of the business for further information.</p>

<p>Resort Maps began creating and publishing maps in the northeastern U.S. back in 1986. In an effort to continue the company’s growth and simultaneously maintain the quality of the product, Resort Maps became a franchisor in 1993. Since adopting the franchise model, Resort Maps has grown steadily to more than 90 maps distributed across 20 states as well as towns and cities in England and Puerto Rico.</p>
<p>“We publish over 20 million maps per year in more than 90 cities and towns for a good reason. Our maps are fun, easy-to-read and they really do make you want to stop and see some of the local attractions before heading to the next part of your trip. Our advertisers like them for that very same reason,” said Peter Hans, president of Resort Maps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>AdzZoo Review ? Is AdzZoo A Legitimate Opportunity And Should You Join?</strong></p>
<p>In this AdzZoo Review, I will be going into some information about the company itself, the AdzZoo advertising campaigns, the compensation plan and most importantly, what it takes to be truly successful with a business like AdzZoo.</p>
<p>AdzZoo is an internet advertising company that markets advertising through a network marketing, or multilevel marketing, business model. Currently, AdzZoo has over 8,000 representatives and is growing, mostly from the efforts of field leaders who are building their teams offline using opportunity meetings and face-to-face recruiting presentations. Through this network of representatives, AdzZoo markets internet advertising to small business owners all across the US, and soon in Canada. With over 45 million small business owners in the US alone, there is an obvious market for representatives to target.</p>
<p><strong>What Does AdzZoo Do For Small Business Owners?</strong></p>
<p>With advertising costs going through the roof, smart and savvy business owners are starting to use the internet to advertise their business. Unlike offline forms of marketing where you are putting ads in front of an un-targeted audience, the internet allows business owners to position their ads in search engines, like Google and Yahoo, directly in front of potential customers who are actually searching for them or them or their product. This benefit alone can significantly increase their customer base, simply because they are marketing to a highly targeted audience. On top of this, business owners can actually target potential customers that are demographically local to them, which increases the likelihood of having a spike in walk-in customers. As I mentioned earlier, with print ad costs skyrocketing, business owners can potentially spend less money with an internet advertising campaign and yet reap better results.</p>
<p>The beauty of this from a customer standpoint is that they can outsource all their advertising to AdzZoo. Instead of getting on a computer for hours each day and attempting to do it by themselves, they can order an on-going ad and let the experts at AdzZoo put their advertising together and monitor it. Thus, freeing them up to focus on building their business.</p>
<p>As far as competition goes, there are many traditional businesses that offer internet advertising and SEO services, but their pricing is astronomical compared to AdzZoo&#8217;s pricing. There&#8217;s also not many network marketing companies offering similar services. Recently, AdzZoo added Facebook ads and the ability for business owners to text their customers with sales and incentives. Time will tell what this will do for customer acquisition and customer retention, but one thing is for sure, AdzZoo is using cutting-edge technology to give their representatives an edge when approaching customers.</p>
<p><strong>The Company Leadership</strong> <strong>And Training</strong></p>
<p>The company is based in McDonough, Georgia and was officially launched in March 2010.  The company co-founders have decades of experience in business and in direct sales, with four of them (Don Rutt, Bill Olive, Bill Anderton and Hubert Humphrey) coming from, and achieving a tremendous amount of success, in A.L. Williams, now known as Primerica, back in the 80&#8242;s. With co-founders willing to dip into their own pockets, along with other resources and the fact that AdzZoo is debt free and profitable, it seems that funding will not be a major problem for the company.</p>
<p>The training is pretty much what you would expect from leaders who are from the 80&#8242;s and 90&#8242;s era of network marketing. New reps are trained to give belly-to-belly, flipchart presentations and attend weekly opportunity meetings. There isn&#8217;t a wide selection of tools that are utilized with the exception of one or two different sales brochures. And as far as internet marketing goes, with the exception of a opportunity webinar done once a week, there really isn&#8217;t much of a platform for people who want to focus on building a business via the internet. With that said, the training is very good and very professionally done. So if you don&#8217;t mind approaching friends and family and prospecting people you come into contact with, the marketing model shouldn&#8217;t be a problem for you.<br /><strong><br /> The Business Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>AdzZoo offers several ways you can profit from building a business. There is also an opportunity to make upfront and passive residual income just from selling the ads. However, just like other network marketing, or multilevel marketing, companies, the majority of the income you&#8217;ll make is by recruiting and building a sales team to market the ad campaigns. So the question you should be asking yourself is: Can you sponsor enough people to build a team? Well, if you are into giving belly-to-belly presentations and approaching your friends and family, then yes you can, as long as you&#8217;re willing to go to work and invest a tremendous amount of time (which isn&#8217;t a bad thing). However, if you want to build an AdzZoo business using the internet and working primarily from home, then AdzZoo&#8217;s internet platform (and just the nature of the service which doesn&#8217;t require, but works best if you meet the business owner) may not be for you. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it can be done but at what cost?</p>
<p>With that said, if you already know business owners and want to sell the ads, you can certainly make good income and even build residual income when your customers continue to run the ads. But if you&#8217;re looking to sponsor people and build a huge organization, it&#8217;s critical that you find a marketing system you can use otherwise you&#8217;ll find yourself spending hours at Starbucks or Barnes &amp; Nobles trying to find your next recruit.</p>
<p>In closing, AdzZoo is a very credible and legitimate business opportunity. The leaders are proven and documented and know how to make decisions in favor of the reps. The compensation plan is very lucrative as long as you can build a sales team that is willing to go into businesses to promote the advertising packages. However, without the ability generate leads on a daily basis and personally sponsor a large amount of people, you&#8217;re going to have a hard time building your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>From Small Business To Big Business: Chik-Fil-A</strong></p>
<p>Before there was Chik-Fil-A S. Truett Cathy started what is known today as the Dwarf House Restaurant in the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Hapeville in 1946. It was there across from a Ford plant that Cathy&#8217;s restaurant served to for three shifts a day that he invented the chicken sandwich. At the time the concept of fast food was just taking off but it was centered on beef hamburgers. Cathy discovered a way to pressure cook chicken in peanut oil that allowed the chicken to be cooked quick enough that he could compete with the hamburger chains springing up at the time.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It wouldn&#8217;t be until 1967 that the first Chik-Fil-A restaurant would be opened. But once Cathy did open that store he decided it had to be based around the chicken sandwich. In fact one of the company&#8217;s slogans is &#8220;We didn&#8217;t invent the chicken, just the chicken sandwich&#8221;. This actually happens to be a true story.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Today the chain of fast food chicken restaurants has managed to grow to over 700 stores. And they even still operate a small Dwarf House chain in the Atlanta, Georgia area. In fact the original Dwarf House location is still open. This chain actually has an extra front door dwarf sized of course that children and some adults can use if they really want to. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One surprising note for the restaurant chain is that all of their locations are closed on Sunday&#8217;s. This of course is almost unheard of in the fast food industry. But Cathy who is devoutly religious believes that Sunday&#8217;s should be for church or at least should be spent with family.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Probably the most famous aspect of Chik-Fil-A has to be the cows. In their advertising they feature a couple of Holstein cows that typically hold signs that read &#8220;EAT MOR CHIKIN&#8221;. These cows of course would prefer the public to eat more chicken thereby saving more cows. The cows are advertised nationally but also have many regional variations often being featured on billboards. The cows which were introduced in 1994 have since become the company&#8217;s official mascots. They even have their own calendar that you can buy.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
And so Chik-Fil-A and the Dwarf House were both born from a single idea that managed to change an industry at the same time. It was a simple thing really just a chicken sandwich. Today that might not seem like much but what an impact it has had. Every fast food chain in the country features them on their menus and so to do many sit down restaurant&#8217;s. Sometimes all you need is one good idea to change an industry and build a business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How to post effective online classified ads that actually works</strong></p>
<p>Classified ads are the best way to advertise about products and services you offer for sale or you wanted to buy and you can even promote your website or business with classified ads. The key to generating lots of views and replies depends a lot on how you write them and somewhat on where you place them.</p>
<p><strong>Here some tricks and tips on writing an effective classified ad:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Find good free classified sites: </strong>Your first step before you write your first ad is to find good   free classified ad sites to post to. You can start this by doing a search on your favorite search engine. Search for terms like <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.adsglobe.com">free ads, online classifieds, free advertising</a> etc&#8230; Once you have found sites, compare these sites on Alexa. Alexa can give you far more detail on how the site ranks and other sites that link to it, and may even lead you to other free classified ad sites.</p>
<p><strong>Ad presentation:</strong> Now in developing your ad, use an eye-catching headline and images in your free classifieds. So be creative and also realize that in eye tracking studies it has been determined that text near an image gathers nearly 90% of the reader&#8217;s attention for the first few seconds. Make the image and text work together and have a good balance. In headline capitalize only the first letter of each keyword and use no more than 10 words.</p>
<p><strong>Body of Ad:</strong> Now write about body of the ad. In body include the most important information that a buyer/seller would want to know about the product or service. In the body you are most likely looking to draw people to your capture page so your ad needs to create interest and action. Each sentence should have a purpose and contain the key words you think people would search for. So that search engines will rank your ad more highly.</p>
<p><strong>Ad description</strong>: While<strong> </strong>writing a classified ad description, about your product or service or business, be honest and use your own words.</p>
<p><strong>Check for Spelling: </strong>Correct spelling and grammar will make people take your ad more seriously. So be sure with spellings and grammar.</p>
<p><strong>Read the guide lines of site: </strong>Read the guidelines for each site. This can help you write a more effective ad, and it can also help you make sure that your ad gets accepted.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t lie about your product:</strong> Don’t lie about what you are selling or offering or important information you leave about your ad. In the first you may get high traffic but once you are found out, the buyers or sellers will avoid you.</p>
<p><strong>Choose correct category:</strong> Think of appropriate category for your ad. Miscategorized ads don&#8217;t reach potential customers.</p>
<p><strong>Capitalization:</strong> Only use caps where it&#8217;s completely necessary. Usually the headline is one place you can use caps to emphasize particular words. Throughout the body, having whole sentences capitalized is a no-no.</p>
<p><strong>Price of your product:</strong> Think carefully about price of product you are offering. If you want to sell your items as soon as possible, or you want to attract customers quickly, set a low price and state it up front in your advertisement. If, however, you want to get a good price and you don&#8217;t mind waiting, list your price as &#8220;negotiable,&#8221; or &#8220;Prices/rates vary, please call/email,&#8221;  are phrases you can write to indicate that you do have a price in mind, but the details are too complicated to fit in the ad space. Also check <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.dealsglobe.com/">deals coupons sales</a> sites to see the latest bargain price for this product or service.</p>
<p><strong>More ads the better:</strong> Finally, be sure to keep in mind that this is often a numbers game so the more ads the better. Run your ads on as many classified sites as you can and make sure they have a good amount of users as well.</p>
<p><strong>Prompt the reader:</strong> Prompt the reader to take next step. That is to visit your site where the sales letter will do selling for you. Creating a sense of urgency helps and so does a time-limited offer. Use instructions like click through now, visit our site today; here’s is link to click&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Where to post your ad:</strong> One of the secrets to getting more from your ads is to post your ads where your potential customers are.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t use “cheap” marketing words:</strong> such as, “earn ,000/week”, “read my story about how to earn ,000/month from home”, and their kinds. You will not attract intellectual audiences. Write it in simpler way; let it sound smart and rational.</p>
<p><strong>Stress on the benefits and features of your product/service</strong>: What you write at classified ads may be your only chance to make people curious. You should be able to motivate them to find more information.</p>
<p><strong>Submit your free advertisement</strong>: Some websites will post your free advertisement immediately. There are some that will need you to confirm the advertisement and may take a few days to be posted to the website.</p>
<p><strong>Preview your ad:</strong> Preview and Submit your free advertising ad. Make sure review your ad before submitting.</p>
<p><strong>Use testimonials:</strong> Testimonials are a terrific way to let the prospect know how it will feel when they get their hands on the product or service that you&#8217;re promoting.</p>
<p><strong>Proof read your ad: </strong>Have a friend or family member proofread your ad. Fresh eyes can catch typos and let you know if something sounds weird or seems unclear.</p>
<p><strong>Contact information:</strong> Remember to leave contact information. When you write a classified ad, listing your town, e-mail, phone number, and the best time to call is the minimum requirement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coca-cola&#8217;s Big Mistake: New Coke 20 Years Later.</strong></p>
<p>On the night of April 22, 1985, somewhere near Purchase, NY, Roger Enrico, president of Pepsi-Cola USA, was smiling. And who could blame him? He was about to declare victory in the longest running war in cola history &#8211; a knock-down, dragout affair between two companies the likes of which the world had never seen before. Little did Enrico know that what was starting out as a victory over big red rival Coca-Cola was about to snowball into a summer-long soap opera epic. He probably had butterflies in his stomach much the same as Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta and president Don Keough but for very different reasons.</p>
<p>When morning dawned on April 23rd, it was an average Tuesday in every way possible. But the world was about to learn that the fate of their favorite cola, with the most well-known trademark on Earth, was destined for the most drastic change in its nearly 100 year history. And no one was ready.</p>
<p>For several years prior, Pepsi-Cola had been slowly closing the marketshare gap between the two cola giants and as the Pepsi Taste Challenge had indicated, people seemingly wanted a slightly sweeter cola with less bite than Coke had. No matter how much The Coca-Cola Co. spent on advertising, no matter what they did&#8230; the gap with their biggest rival was closing fast &#8211; something drastic had to be done.</p>
</p>
<p>According to a New York Times report, Coca-Cola came upon the new formula while developing Diet Coke, which was introduced in 1982. With Coca-Cola executives mindful of their slipping market share, they began their own taste tests using Coca-Cola and several new variations. In testing a number of taste formulas, the company found one that stood out. When it was put in a Coke can and compared side by side with the old formula in blind taste tests, the new product was chosen by consumers 62 percent to 39 percent.</p>
<p>Over the Christmas holidays in 1984, top Coke executives including Goizueta, Keough, Brian Dyson and Ike Herbert decided unanimously to change the Coke formula just shy of its 99th anniversary.</p>
<p>While the new formula was being finalized, a set of commercials for the brand re-launch were being filmed with actors unaware they were pitching a new formula.</p>
<p>The brand re-launch was kept top secret &#8211; even Coca-Cola bottlers and the majority of Coke employees weren&#8217;t told of the impending reformulation until the day before the infamous New York press conference. For bottlers who knew all too well the lagging sales numbers, the reformulation was welcome news. Goizueta and Keough received a standing ovation from bottlers as Goizueta proclaimed to them in a private gathering, “Now we&#8217;re back in the ballgame.” The euphoric feeling was short-lived.</p>
<p>Ironically, the meeting with bottlers on April 22 was held in the Woodruff Arts Center, named after Coca-Cola &#8216;boss&#8217; Robert Woodruff, who had dedicated most of his life to the company and promoting the original formula. Woodruff passed away only a month before the reformulation announcement.</p>
<p>The Press Conference Heard Around the World</p>
<p>April 23, 1985 is one of those days in history that Coke drinkers remember well. It ranks up there with other world events where you always remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news. If Goizueta had taken a moment to open up the morning paper that day before heading to Lincoln Center to make his earth-shattering announcement, he might have been fuming. Since word had leaked out several days before the formula change press conference, Roger Enrico took out a full page ad in major newspapers across the United States the day of the Coke press conference, declaring that the Cola Wars were over &#8211; Pepsi had won. To celebrate their victory, Enrico declared that Friday, April 26, 1985 would be a company-wide holiday for Pepsi employees.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to say what Goizueta thought of his rival&#8217;s cocky newspaper announcement &#8211; he probably figured it was only a matter of time before the &#8216;new&#8217; formula Coke made people forget they&#8217;d ever heard of Pepsi. Afterall, Goizueta himself said that New Coke was the surest move ever made.</p>
</p>
<p>Goizueta and Keough walked onto a stage at Lincoln Center for a press conference with 700 journalists and film crews &#8211; along with satellite feeds to media in Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles. The world was watching.</p>
<p>The lights dimmed and a montage of Coca-Cola feel-good moments were shown &#8211; shots of Americana with Coke imagery&#8230; the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, wheat fields, Eisenhower and JFK, and Families. When the commercials were finally over, the lights returned and Goizueta took to the podium. “The best has been made even better,” he announced, reading from his prepared notes. “Some may choose to call this the single boldest marketing move in the history of the packaged goods business. We simply call it the surest move ever made. Simply stated, we have a new formula for Coke.”</p>
<p>When the floor was finally opened up to questions from the press, they were anything but kind.</p>
<p>“Are you 100 percent certain that this won&#8217;t bomb?” a St. Louis reporter questioned.</p>
<p>Another journalist asked Goizueta to describe the new taste. At first he stumbled, then found the words he was searching for. &#8216;I would say it is smoother, uh, uh, rounder, yet, uh, yet bolder&#8230; a more harmonious flavor,&#8217; Goizueta responded.</p>
<p>When asked if the company was changing the formula in response to the Pepsi Challenge, Goizueta lost his composure. &#8216;Oh gosh no,&#8217; he said. &#8216;The Pepsi Challenge? When did that happen?&#8217;</p>
<p>Question after question was pelted towards Goizueta and Keough.</p>
<p>A final question was asked that left a bitter taste in the confident C.E.O.&#8217;s mouth, asking whether diet Coke might be reformulated, &#8216;assuming that this is a success&#8217;.</p>
<p>“No. And I didn&#8217;t assume that this is a success. It is a success,&#8217; Goizueta snapped.</p>
<p>And just like that, the press conference was over.</p>
<p>The early publicity that New Coke received was mixed &#8211; but largely favorable. More than 80 percent of the U.S. population was aware of the new formula within days of the announcement.</p>
<p>The Coca-Cola Company took to the streets of Atlanta for its huge sampling campaign. In New York, workers who were renovating the Statue of Liberty were the first in New York to get cans of New Coke.</p>
<p>Coke spared no expense with red and white balloons, fireworks, New Coke samples, and airplanes dragging advertising banners through the skies. It was pagentry at its grandest.</p>
<p>But it didn&#8217;t take long for the public to react to the formula change and it was perhaps the biggest collective rejection in the history of consumerism.</p>
<p>Soonafter, Coke loyalists asserted their dislike for New Coke in ways you had to see to believe.</p>
<p>Dan Lauck, a television journalist from San Antonio drank nothing but six-and-a-half ounce bottles of Coke &#8211; at a rate of 15 per day. He regularly skipped breakfast and lunch just so he could continue to drink Coke while managing his weight. He hated New Coke, and he knew he&#8217;d never switch. When he heard the news about New Coke, he immediately went out and bought 110 cases of the original.</p>
</p>
<p>Members of the press, mindful of the public&#8217;s obvious dislike for New Coke, ran their own taste tests, surveys and public opinion polls. The results were obvious by the endless stories printed in the month of May as the media reported the bad taste that folks were left with.</p>
<p>Houston Astrodome crowds booed New Coke commercials on the stadium&#8217;s giant video screen. Novelty songs were written about when &#8216;Coke WAS it&#8217;. And yes, even Coca-Cola delivery drivers were assaulted.</p>
<p>Mark Pendergrast, author of the popular book For God, Country &amp; Coca-Cola doesn&#8217;t recall a lot of personal memories of April 23, 1985 &#8211; at the time, he rarely drank Coca-Cola and New Coke certainly wasn&#8217;t an issue that affected him much at the time. But in researching and writing his history book about The Coca-Cola Company years later, he had a unique perspective, unjaded by a formula change that insensed cola connoisseurs across North America.</p>
<p>“It was amazing that everyone was having this gigantic nervous breakdown about it. When I researched and wrote the book I interviewed a bunch of people for whom it did mean everything.”</p>
<p>In the late 1970s and early 1980s, America had lost its identity, Pendergrast says. From Watergate and Vietnam, to high inflation and very rapid change in the country. It caused a loss of confidence by the American public.</p>
<p>“All kinds of things were changing under our feet,&#8217; he says. &#8216;Coca-Cola was really a symbol of something that was seemingly solid and it represented something that wasn&#8217;t changing. So when they changed it, it really hit people where they hurt because of the slide of our culture into disfunction. People were looking back nostalgically on a time which certainly had its problems but where we seemed to be more together as a country.”</p>
<p>Marketing experts suggested that the company&#8217;s original studies and taste tests had missed one very key aspect &#8211; they had failed to take into account the world&#8217;s loyalty to the 99-year-old drink and their emotional attachment to it. Studies had focused on taste alone rather than brand preference. And when taste testers blindly chose New Coke over original Coke, they were never told that New Coke would ultimately replace the original.</p>
<p>Admittedly, it was a mistake but in some folks&#8217; minds, it was a national disaster.</p>
<p>And then there were the angry calls and letters that the Coca-Cola Company&#8217;s head office was flooded with.</p>
<p>In early May, it was about 1,000 calls a day to the 1-800-COKE consumer hotline. By June it was 8,000 calls a day.</p>
<p>Richard Mix, one of the leading authorities on Coke bottle collecting, and resides just outside Atlanta, came close to working for the Coke call center that same spring.</p>
<p>“In 1985 I was in college at The University of Georgia. When The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke in April I was applying for summer internships at numerous companies. The day after I accepted an internship at Rockwell I got a call from Coke offering a summer job in the consumer product information center. They had to expand the call center due to the major increase in consumer calls. After much consideration, I decided to stay with my commitment and work at Rockwell,” he says.</p>
<p>Mix often wonders what would have happened career-wise had the call from Coke come a day earlier.</p>
<p>How to sell the world a New Coke?</p>
<p>Bill Baver worked for The Coca-Cola Company for some 37 years on the delivery route and then in the pre-mix area of the company. Fortunately, he retired nearly a full year before the introduction of New Coke in &#8217;85 and avoided the consumer backlash.</p>
<p>The reaction of the introduction of New Coke in 1985 by consumers certainly didn&#8217;t come as a shock to Baver. &#8216;Because we&#8217;ve been living on it since we were weaned,” he points out. “I might have been bitter in 1985 because I wasn&#8217;t happy with my pension &#8211; I probably drank more whiskey than Coke at that time anyway,” Baver jokes.</p>
<p>Though he doesn&#8217;t envy the salesforce that had to go out and try to sell New Coke to a dissatisfied public, Baver has no doubts about how he would have done it. “I would still be going out there and telling you it&#8217;s the best damn drink in the world. I&#8217;m just that type of guy. I&#8217;d swear that it&#8217;s the best thing there is and nothing&#8217;s different although we know there is.”</p>
<p>But some Coke drinkers weren&#8217;t content with any explanation or sales pitch.</p>
<p>In Marietta, Georgia, a Coca-Cola delivery man was assaulted by a woman with an umbrella while he stocked a grocery store shelf with New Coke. “You bastard,” she yelled, “you ruined it &#8211; it tastes like shit!” When a nearby Pepsi driver snickered at the scene, she blasted him as well. “You stay out of it! This is family business. Yours is worse than shit!”</p>
<p>The Company Conceeds Defeat:</p>
<p>June sales of New Coke dropped off the map. To make matters worse, a 57-year-old Seattle man, Gay Mullins, founded a group he called the Old Cola Drinkers of America. Together with his supporters, he garnered significant media attention by publically dumping New Coke down the sewer while the media filmed his every move. Mullins also filed a class-action lawsuit against Coca-Cola to force the company to return to the original formula. It was thrown out of court.</p>
<p>Nearly 40,000 letters of protest piled up at Coke&#8217;s head office in Atlanta.</p>
<p>It was finally becoming clear to Coca-Cola what must be done.</p>
<p>On July 11, less than 3 months after the introduction of New Coke, the Company acknowledged they had made a major miscalculation. Once again Goizueta and Keough faced the press to announce the return of Coca-Cola Classic.</p>
<p>“There is a twist to this story which will please every humanist and will probably keep Harvard professors puzzled for years,” said Keough at the press conference. “The simple fact is that all the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on the new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people.</p>
<p>“The passion for original Coca-Cola &#8211; and that is the word for it, passion &#8211; was something that caught us by surprise&#8230; It is a wonderful American mystery, a lovely American enigma, and you cannot measure it any more than you can measure love, pride, or patriotism.</p>
<p>“Some critics will say Coca-Cola made a marketing mistake. Some cynics will say we planned the whole thing. The truth is we are not that dumb and we are not that smart.”</p>
<p>As the press conference came to a close, Keough presented Gay Mullins with the first case of Coca-Cola Classic.</p>
<p>Suddenly, it was a love-fest for Coca-Cola, with newspapers across North America splashing the news across front pages everywhere. Letters and calls continued to come in from consumers, but this time they were messages of delight, relief, and thanks.</p>
<p>For Coke aficionados, all was right with the world again.</p>
<p>For nearly a year afterwards, both Cokes co-existed side by side. But confusion in the marketplace about how to sell both simultaneously, a lack of shelf space, and a shrinking market share of New Coke helped it disappear from most North American markets.</p>
<p>All told, the New Coke fiasco cost The Coca-Cola Company -million to research and develop. After a few dismal months in 1985, the cola giant roared back with the help of a grateful American public. The marketing blunder of epic proportions had inadvertently taken its misguided company to the top once more.</p>
<p>Pendergrast says he has often thought about what other products, if they had changed the flavor of the product, would have caused such an incredible uproar. “I can&#8217;t think of a branded product that that would be true of.”</p>
<p>The Happy Accident Remembered:</p>
<p>In 1995, The Coca-Cola Company held a celebration honoring New Coke&#8217;s 10th Anniversary. Roberto Goizuetta addressed Coke employees at the event saying, “We set out to change the dynamics of sugar colas in the United States, and we did exactly that &#8211; albeit not in the way we had planned. But the most significant result of ‘new Coke’ &#8211; by far,” Goizueta said, “was that it sent an incredibly powerful signal &#8230; a signal that we really were ready to do whatever was necessary to build value for the owners of our business.”</p>
<p>Two years later, Goizueta succumbed to cancer &#8211; but the company forged ahead without their longtime leader. Goizueta drank New Coke right up until his death, insisting it was still the best tasting cola the world over, no matter what the consumer said.</p>
<p>Pendergrast says that if the company is smart, they&#8217;ll hold a similar celebration to mark the 20th Anniversary of New Coke as they did for the 10th Anniversary. “They should make a big deal of it because the moral of it was perfect for the company as Don Keough said at the time &#8211; anything that gets all this attention and gets our favorite customers rushing back to thank us is a pretty good thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>What if New Coke Hadn&#8217;t Happened?</p>
<p>With nostalgic memories of Coca-Cola being ressurected as &#8216;Coca-Cola Classic&#8217; in July of 1985, it begs the question &#8211; what if New Coke had never happened? What if it had all been just a dream? And what if the company had introduced New Coke in 2005 instead of in 1985 &#8211; what would the reaction have been?</p>
<p>Pendergrast doesn&#8217;t think it would have caused nearly the commotion today as it did 20 years ago. “I doubt that you would have as much of a reaction. I hope I&#8217;m wrong &#8211; maybe I&#8217;m just jaded. I think it would cause an uproar, but maybe not as much.&#8221;</p>
<p>And with the company&#8217;s many brand extensions taking over coolers around the world with Vanilla Coke, Coca-Cola With Lime, Cherry Coke, C2, and others on the horizon, is there a chance of a Coca-Cola reformulation ever happening again?</p>
<p>“Never say never,&#8221; Pendergrast says. “But I doubt they will ever attempt it again in our lifetime. If they did, they would probably have enough brains to keep the old one and just offer the new one as a line extension. If they had offered New Coke as an alternative but have kept the old one, I don&#8217;t think they would have had such a problem.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the otherhand, if The Coca-Cola Company hadn&#8217;t reverted back to Coca-Cola Classic in the summer of 1985 and stayed with New Coke, Pendergrast believes the beverage landscape would look much different than it does today. “I think Pepsi would be the dominant soft drink in the country today by far. I think it would have been a total disaster.&#8221;</p>
<p>Baver disagrees. “I don&#8217;t feel that Pepsi could have overtaken Coke because we had the other products. Sprite killed 7UP, it hurt them badly. We had Fanta, Tab and Diet Coke, at that point in time there&#8217;s no way Pepsi could have surpassed Coke I don&#8217;t think.&#8221;</p>
<p>These days, when Pendergrast hears the words &#8216;New Coke&#8217;, he immediately thinks of Bill Cosby appearing in commercials “trying to make it all better,&#8221; Pendergrast jokes.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s a wonderful quintisentially American love story, and a crazy story. The moral of it is that people are capable of getting excited about the stupidest things but it&#8217;s also quite touching. I like that sort of story. I hope that we are capable of being just as excited nowadays, 20 years on, as we were then. But I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>New Coke (Coke II) faded from most U.S. markets by the early 1990s. In Chicago, however, sales of Coke II remained strong and continued to flourish for years; it was finally shelved in 2002.</p>
