3. Price Adjustment Strategies
Setting the base price for a product is only the start. The company must then adjust the price to account for customer and situational differences. It takes time to find the ideal pricing level for the product that you are providing. Companies usually adjust their basic prices to account for various customer differences and changing situations.
Coca Cola is not the only exception. The price adjustment strategies they use for their products are: Discount and Allowance Pricing; Psychological Pricing and Geographical Pricing.
a. Discount and Allowance Pricing
Coca Cola use the Discount Pricing, which means a straight reduction in price on purchases during a stated period of time or of larger quantities. To be more specific, they apply the quantity discount to retailers, which is a price reduction to buyers who buy large volumes.

b. Psychological Pricing
Price says something about the product. In using psychological pricing, sellers consider the psychology of prices, not simply the economics. A small difference in price can signal product differences. For example, the price of Coca Cola products usually ends at $0.09 (~0.99 but not $1) to appeal their customers.
