In 1891, Asa Griggs Candler invented the most innovative marketing
technique of the times. He hired traveling salesmen to pass out
coupons for a free Coke. With a goal for people to try the drink, like it,
and buy it later on.
In addition to the coupons, Candler also decided to sell Coca-Cola syrup as
a patent medicine, claiming it would get rid of fatigue and headaches.
In 1898, however, Congress passed a tax on all medicines, so Coca-Cola
wanted to be sold only as a beverage. After a court battle, Coca-Cola was
no longer sold as a drug.Full Story
