There are many flavors launching by coke for example; vanilla, lime, lemon and cherry. But today we will focus on vanilla coke. In 2004, Coca-cola launched Vanilla coke in India, which was expected to boost Coca-Cola sales in India but it failed to excite the Indian palate.
Segmentation
Geographic
1) Internationally – Vanilla Coke launched to all around the world but it is not success to all areas.
2) Climate- Coca Cola’s consumption in the summer is 60% than 40% in the winter; therefore, the company's sales are higher in the summer. It also focuses in hot area in the world.
Demographic
1) Age – Vanilla coke target on teenagers and adult (13-40 years old)
2) Income – middle to high income because the price is higher than the ordinary coke
Psychographic
1) Lifestyle – it targets whoever interested in hip-hop and retro style because their advertisement is in retro-bollywood theme.
Targeting
Vanilla Coke uses "Full Market Coverage" targeting strategy which means that the company has more than single, well- defined, market segment. It serves almost all customer groups.
Recommendation

India knows vanilla ice-cream floating well and it sold to all
