Flanman 2,472 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Would you look for your name on the bottle and buy one or two ? Would it prompt you to buy some that ordinarily you wouldn’t ? Would it put you off and not buy one because it has someone else’s name ? FM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazaau 486 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I will take it any way it comes! You are probably only likely to buy an extra one for someone you know if your see their name there while getting your Coke fix. The one named Bogan would cause a few to choose another bottle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyno 2,403 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I was considering this the other day. Are all the names Anglo? I haven't seen any name ones that aren't. Is that just because I'm in a white bread suburb? To answer the original question, it doesn't make me buy more. But if I was buying 2 bottles and there were 2 Tyno bottles next to 2 Flanman bottles, I'd take the 2 Tyno ones. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flanman 2,472 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Tyno, there are multi national based names. The large bottles are in family names and the smaller bottles are in first names. I didn’t buy a bottle with my name on it - I just got sent a photo. However, I spent about 5-10 minutes looking through names whilst shopping the other day at Woolies. FM 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregb 192 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 One of my morning coffee shops has a can with the name of the establishment on it. On closer inspection it is a sticker, so there is probably some latitude for personalisation/customisation. Name on the bottle can would not be a primary driver of purchasing decision.

PeterW 181 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 When you see a Coke bottle with your name on it. I see a one-way express ticket to type 2 diabetes... Unless it's on the ironman run course or you get handed a cold bottle at the 35k mark of a marathon in which case I see "paradise". But in that case the appropriate name on it wouldn't be pretty!
