Did you know the soft drink Coca-Cola, which you probably have drank at least once in your life, is a profitable niche?

You can turn a nice stream of income with the Coca-Cola Market Niche, that appeals to a wide range of people any age and in any country.

In this post I'm going to share with you how to make money in online affiliate marketing with this popular soft drink company as your niche.

HOW DID COCA-COLA START

If you want to make money in any niche, it is important to know as much about it as possible, so you can create in dept engaging content.

What you are about to read you may not have even known and it will make you understand why the name Coca-Cola was chosen in the first place.

In 1886, Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta, Georgia by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton. It was meant to be a non-alcoholic medicinal tonic.


This nerve stimulant, brain tonic was to be used for headaches, exhaustion and personally for him, his morphine addiction from a Civil War injury.

The original recipe contained two key ingredients for flavor and effect: Coca Leaf Extract (where cocaine comes from) and Kola Nut Extract.

YOU MEAN THE STORY OF COCAINE IN COCA-COLA IS TRUE?

Yes, you read that right! Coca-Cola (Coca Leaf-Kola Nut) wasn't invented for being the popular soda pop it is today, not by a long shot.

Coca Leaf Extract was a common ingredient in medicines and tonics in the late 1800's and it didn't become illegal in the U.S. until 1914.

The Coca-Cola being sold at that time had about 9 mg of cocaine per glass. Talk about putting a little ZING in ones day with a glass of Coke.

In 1903, Coca-Cola removed the cocaine entirely from the ingredients. However, they still use the Coca Leaf Extract to this day for its flavor.


The only difference is that the Coca Leaf Extract they use now is "decocainized" a chemical process designed by the U.S. Government.

Since the early 1900's Coca-Cola has been using the Stepan Company, a New Jersey-based chemical company to remove the cocaine.

Coca-Cola and Stepan Company are the ONLY U.S. companies that have an agreement with the U.S. Government to import up to 500 metric tons of Coca Leaf.

Read the Full Story about the "Secret" New Jersey chemical plant that makes the Coca-Cola flavor & cocaine.

Stepan Company is supervised by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) to make this decocainized flavor ingredient for Coca-Cola.

Once the flavoring ingredient is made, the cocaine that is extracted is then sold to NJ-based pharmaceutical companies for medical use.

I know where this chemical company is. I live within 15 miles of it and I pass it everyday while working, but you can't get close to it with its heavy security.

WHAT IS THE COCA-COLA MARKETING NICHE?


"The global leader in the 'sparkling soft drinks' / 'cola' category with a strong emotional/brand positioning as the iconic, timeless, happy and universally refreshing beverage."

Simply put, Coca-Cola DOMINATES the entire soft drink market on a global scale. No other soft drink manufacturer can even come close.

This dominance is MASSIVE in scope. For example:

  • They are the creators of Cola-flavored soft drinks worldwide.
  • When it comes to moments of joy, happiness, togetherness and universal appeal Coca-Cola has slogans like "Taste The Feeling" again worldwide.
  • Truly the global #1 soft drink brand recognized and present in 200+ countries.
  • Coca-Cola is mainstream, though not the cheapest Cola drink but very affordable.
  • Everyday refreshment and special occasion appeal for friends & family meals, parties, movie theaters and their iconic Christmas Santa campaigns.
  • Though they advertise mainly to teens and young adults, their target audience is extremely broad including all ages, genders, social and economic groups.
  • Coca-Cola have many popular soft drink brands under its umbrella like: Sprite, Fanta, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and many others.

Considering all of the above, it is easy to see that the Coca-Cola Marketing Niche is in a league of their own. No one in the world can surpass them.

There is no stopping this brand and they vigorously defend and even expand their niche market. They own a lot of patents like bottle shape and color.

Coca-Cola's massive global Marketing Budget, focused mainly on emotional storytelling, is estimated between $4-5 Billion per Year.

In short, the Coca-Cola Marketing Niche is not just about Cola. It's the Original, Most Famous, Emotionally stable Cola that defines the entire category worldwide.

I've known the story of its history for a long time, although I thought it was created in 1896, not 86.

Either way, I stopped drinking all soda, anything that contains carbonated sugar at least 20 years ago. In fact, for a variety of reasons, I've spent years bashing it. I won't go into that here.

However, it never occurred to me to consider the things you mentioned that could be very profitable.

You amaze me with your insight about so many things

Thanks for a great eye-opener.

Fascinating story Rob, Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

You are most welcome !

I never stop thinking of that story every time I hear it.

I guess that can explain the real reason why coca cola was decocainized.

Myra ♥️

I personally do not drink soft drinks, but every time I do take a drink of Coca-Cola, I always think about how it once was. lol

So, hypothetically, if i wanted to start a Coca-Cola brand store in my country, based on your research you are saying that the chances of success would be higher than normal?

1

Pretty much. It is a widely recognized and popular brand, all over the world. If you were to select a specific niche that isn't too broad and has appeal to your local audience, it can be a money maker.

These 2 suggestions
- Coca-Cola Toys (Lighted Model Railroad Train Sets, Brand Name Coke Diecast Semi Trucks, Radio Controlled Cars, Stuffed Animals), and
- Coca-Cola Brand Clothing (Brand Name and/or Logo Shirts, Hoodies, Hats, Sweatpants, Jackets, Christmas Themed Coca-Cola Santa Clothing)
Would fit nicely in our environment. Thanks for the idea, appreciated.

My pleasure! Happy to have shared this.

Back when I was an eBay Power Seller, the Coca-Cola brand Toys was always a popular seller. I even kept some for myself as display collectibles because they looked so neat!

how do you think the niche will fare with the latest law suit against them? fascinating about the 'coke' aspect ..

1

I doubt it will have any impact at all on the niche. It's not like Coca-Cola hasn't had its fair share of lawsuits in their more than 100 years in business and they keep growing.

They are a global brand that goes far above and beyond soft drinks and food items. They did after all survive the public outcry when it contained cocaine in 1903, which is why they removed it.
