Coca-Cola widely uses TV media, outdoor advertisements, cold drink equipment and other publicity means in major cities, and uses the vivid management method of point-of-sale to promote the rapid development of Coca-Cola in China market. In the mid-199s, Coca-Cola has initially completed the distribution work in major cities, and the domestic traditional beverages in various places have been hit hard.
