PepsiCo, Inc. is among the most successful consumer products companies in the world, with 1998 revenues of over $22 billion and 151,000 employees. The company consists of: Pepsi-Cola Company, the world's second largest beverage company; Frito-Lay Company, the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of snack chips and Tropicana Products, Inc., the world's largest marketer and producer of branded juices. PepsiCo's brand names are among the best known and most respected in the world. Some of PepsiCo's brand names are 100 years old, but the corporation is relatively young.

humanitarian efforts and other areas of need. they encourage employee volunteerism through a double-match of contributions to organizations in which they are active, as well as through volunteer days and other opportunities. In addition, PepsiCo is involved in hundreds of community organizations, including many focused on diversity and inclusion. As their market grows increasingly diverse, they have made a very focused effort to promote diversity as a genuine competitive advantage. Among other initiatives, this effort includes: Appointing executives dedicated to managing diversity. Developing multi-year plans to promote diversity. Creating diversity advisory boards. Creating networks to mentor and support minority and female employees. These efforts have been widely recognized.

3.1 Environment and Safety Their environmental and safety records are strong. Their

beverage containers are recyclable and they have consistently reduced the amount of materials used to manufacture their containers. Pepsi-Cola cans contain more than 50% previously used aluminum cans. Their glass bottles contain up to 35% previously used glass. In the United States, Pepsi-Cola will begin using recycled plastic in 2002, with a goal of using 10% recycled material in its plastic bottles by 2005. All their divisions recycle. Tropicana recycles orange and grapefruit peels as cattle feed; Frito-Lay similarly recycles leftover potato peels. Frito-Lay reuses millions of delivery boxes that once were discarded after a single use. In the area of safety, PepsiCo facilities to its employees the maximum level of safety equipment.

4 CORPORATE CITIZEN

1898 Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist, renames

"Brad's Drink," a carbonated soft drink he's created to serve his drugstore's fountain customers. The new name, Pepsi-Cola, is first used on August 28.

Page 3: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

1902 Bradham applies to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark for the

Pepsi-Cola name.

1903 In keeping with its origin as a pharmacist's concoction, Bradham's

advertising praises his drink as "Exhilarating, invigorating, aids digestion."

1905

A new logo appears, the first change from the original in 1898. Pepsi-Cola's first bottling franchises are established in Charlotte

and Durham, North Carolina.

1906 Pepsi gets another logo change, the third in eight years. The

modified script logo is created along with the slogan, "The Original Pure Food Drink." There are 15 U.S. Pepsi bottling

plants. The Pepsi trademark is registered in Canada. Syrup sales rise to 38,605 gallons.

1907 The Pepsi trademark is registered in Mexico.

1909 Automobile racing pioneer Barney Oldfield becomes Pepsi's first

celebrity endorser when he appears in newspaper ads describing Pepsi-Cola as "A bully drink…refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer for a race." The theme "Delicious and healthful" appears, and will be used intermittently over the next two decades.

1920 Pepsi appeals to consumers with "Drink Pepsi Cola. It will satisfy

you." The price of sugar on the New York Stock Exchange reaches 26

cents per pound. Bradham gambles on the price going higher and buys large stocks of sugar. By the end of the year, sugar demand slows on the open market and the price drops to a catastrophic low of two cents per pound.

1923 Pepsi-Cola Company is declared bankrupt and its assets are sold to

a North Carolina concern, Craven Holding Corporation, for $30,000. Roy C. Megargel, a Wall Street broker, buys the Pepsi trademark, business and goodwill from Craven Holding Corporation for $35,000, forming the Pepsi-Cola Corporation.

1932 The trademark is registered in Argentina.

1934 Pepsi begins selling a 12-ounce bottle for five cents, the same

price charged by its competitors for six ounces.

1939 A newspaper cartoon strip, "Pepsi & Pete," introduces the theme

"Twice as much for a nickel" to increase consumer awareness of Pepsi's value advantage.

1940 Pepsi makes advertising history with the first advertising jingle

ever broadcast nationwide. "Pepsi-Cola hits the spot/Twelve full ounces that's a lot/Twice as

much for a nickel, too/Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you." "Nickel, Nickel" will eventually become a hit record and will be translated into 55 languages.

1940

CEO Walter Mack adopts the standardized, embossed twelve-ounce bottle, which debuts with the "Pepsi-Cola" label blown and baked into the glass. A new logo, with more rounded script letters, is adopted. Mack sponsors a nationwide essay contest which ultimately leads to the hiring of Allen McKellar and Jeannette Maund, among the first African Americans hired in a professional capacity by a major U.S. corporation.

1941 In support of America's war effort, Pepsi changes the color of its

bottle crowns to red, white and blue. A Pepsi canteen in Times Square, New York, operates throughout the war, enabling more than a million families to record messages for armed services personnel overseas.

1943 The "Twice as much" advertising strategy expands to include the

theme "Bigger drink, better taste."

1946 World War II demands that sugar be rationed again. To counter the

effects of rationing, Mack purchases a sugar plantation in Cuba, which proves to be a highly profitable venture. Pepsi's theme line becomes "Bigger Drink, Better Taste."

Pepsi-Cola moves into Latin America.

1947 International profits reach $6,769,000. Pepsi moves into the

Philippines and Middle East.

1948 Corporate headquarters moves from Long Island City, New York, to

midtown Manhattan.

1949 "Why take less when Pepsi's best?" is added to "Twice as much"

advertising. Pepsi's theme line appeals to Pepsi lovers during hard times with "Why take less when Pepsi's best?"

Former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, the late Ron Brown, becomes the first African American to appear in a national consumer campaign when Pepsi initiates a campaign targeting the African-American market.

1950 Alfred N. Steele becomes President and Chief Executive Officer of

Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Steele's wife, Hollywood movie star Joan Crawford, is instrumental in promoting the company's product line. Pepsi-Cola's advertising keeps pace with consumer tastes as Steele pioneers the promotion of Pepsi-Cola as an experience rather than a bargain.

The "Twice as much for a nickel" slogan gives way as "More Bounce to the Ounce" takes Pepsi into the energetic decade.

1953 Americans become more weight-conscious, and a new strategy

based on Pepsi's lower caloric content is implemented with "The Light Refreshment" campaign.

1954 "The Light Refreshment" evolves to incorporate "Refreshing

Without Filling."

1956 A total of 149 Pepsi-Cola bottling plants operate in 61 countries

outside the U.S.

1958

Sometimes referred to as "the kitchen cola," as a consequence of its longtime positioning as a bargain brand, Pepsi now identifies itself with young,

fashionable consumers with the "Be sociable, have a Pepsi" theme. A distinctive "swirl" bottle replaces Pepsi's earlier straight-sided bottle

1959 Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and U.S. Vice President Richard

Nixon meet in the soon-to-be-famous "kitchen debate" at an international trade fair. The meeting, over Pepsi, is photo-captioned in the U.S. as "Khrushchev Gets Sociable."

1961 Pepsi further refines its target audience, recognizing the increasing

importance of the younger, post-war generation. "Now it's Pepsi, for those who think young" defines youth

As a state of mind as much as a chronological age, maintaining the brand's appeal to all market segments. Harvey C. Russell joins Pepsi-Cola, becoming the first African American named a Vice President in a major U.S. corporation.

1962 Pepsi receives its new logo, the sixth in Pepsi history. The

"serrated" bottle cap logo debuts, accompanying the brand's groundbreaking "Pepsi Generation" ad campaign.

1963 In one of the most significant demographic events in commercial

history, the post-war baby boom emerges as a social and marketplace phenomenon. Pepsi recognizes the change, and positions Pepsi as the brand belonging to the new Generation – The Pepsi Generation. "Come alive! You're in the Pepsi Generation" makes advertising history. It is the first time a product is identified, not so much by its attributes, as by its consumers' lifestyles.

1964 A new product, Diet Pepsi, is introduced into Pepsi-Cola

advertising.

1965 Expansion outside the soft drink industry begins. Frito-Lay of

Dallas, Texas, and Pepsi-Cola merge, forming PepsiCo, Inc. Military 12-ounce cans are such a success that full-scale commercial distribution begins. Mountain Dew launches its first campaign, "Ya-Hoo Mountain Dew…It'll tickle your innards."

1966 Diet Pepsi's first independent campaign, "Girl watchers," focuses

on the cosmetic benefits of the low-calorie cola. The "Girl watchers" musical theme becomes a Top 40 hit. Advertising for another new product, Mountain Dew, a regional brand acquired in 1964, airs for the first time, built around the instantly recognizable tag line, "Ya-Hoo, Mountain Dew!"

1967 When research indicates that consumers place a premium on

Pepsi's superior taste when chilled, "Taste that beats the others cold. Pepsi pours it on,” emphasizes Pepsi's product superiority. The campaign, while product-oriented, adheres closely to the energetic, youthful lifestyle imagery established in the initial Pepsi Generation campaign

1969 "You've got a lot to live. Pepsi's got a lot to give" marks a shift in

Pepsi Generation advertising strategy. Youth and lifestyle are still the campaign's driving forces, but with "Live/Give," a new awareness and a reflection of contemporary events and mood become integral parts of the advertising's texture.

1972 Preliminary trade agreement is signed between the U.S.S.R. and

PepsiCo, Inc.

1973 "Join the Pepsi people, feeling' free" captures the mood of a nation

involved in massive social and political change. It pictures us the way we are – one people, but many personalities. Pepsi receives its new logo, the seventh in Pepsi history. The logo evolves into a boxed look with minor typeface changes occurring throughout the next decade.

The third Mountain Dew slogan, "Put A Little Ya-Hoo in Your Life," debuts.

1974 First Pepsi plant opens in the U.S.S.R. Television ads introduce the new theme line

1975 The Pepsi Challenge, a landmark marketing strategy, convinces

millions of consumers that Pepsi's taste is superior. Pepsi Light, with a distinctive lemon taste, introduces an alternative to traditional diet colas. The two-liter Plastishield bottle is INTRODUCED

1976 "Have a Pepsi day" is the Pepsi Generation's upbeat reflection of

an improving national mood. "Puppies," a 30-second snapshot of an encounter between a very small boy ven smaller puppies, becomes an instant commercial classic.

1979 With the end of the '70s comes the end of a national malaise.

Patriotism has been restored by an exuberant celebration of the U.S. bicentennial, and Americans are looking to the future with renewed optimism. "Catch that Pepsi spirit!" catches the mood and the Pepsi Generation carries it forward into the '80s.

1982 With all the evidence showing that Pepsi's taste is superior, the

only question remaining is how to add that message to Pepsi Generation advertising. The answer? "Pepsi's got your taste for life!" a triumphant celebration of great times and great taste.

1983 The soft drink market grows more competitive, but for Pepsi

drinkers, the battle is won. The time is right and so is their soft drink. It's got to be "Pepsi Now!"

1984 A new generation has emerged – in the United States, around the

world and in Pepsi advertising, too. "Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation" announces the change, and the most popular entertainer of the time, Michael Jackson, stars in the first two commercials of the new campaign. The two spots quickly become "the most eagerly awaited advertising of all time". Lemon Lime Slice, the first major soft drink with real fruit juice, is introduced, creating a new soft drink category, "juice added." In a subsequent line of extensions, Mandarin Orange Slice goes on to become the number-one orange soft drink in the U.S. Diet Pepsi is reformulated with NutraSweet (aspartame) brand sweetener.

By the end of the year, the New Generation campaign earns more than 58 major advertising and film-related awards. Pepsi's campaign featuring Ritchie is the most remembered in the country, according to consumer preference polls.

1986 7-Up International is acquired in Canada. "Dew It Country Cool" becomes the new slogan for Mountain Dew.

Pepsi broadens Mountain Dew popularity with the introduction of Diet Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is the sixth-largest brand in the industry, supporting double-digit growth annually for the past eight years.

1987 After an absence of 27 years, Pepsi returns to Times Square, New

York, with a spectacular 850-square-foot electronic display billboard declaring Pepsi to be "America's Choice."

1988 Michael Jackson returns to "New Generation" advertising to star in

In San Antonio, Texas, Elmer Doolin bought the recipe for an unknown food product – a corn chip – and started an entirely new industry. The product was Fritos brand corn chips, and his firm became the Frito Company.

That same year in Nashville, Tennessee, Herman W. Lay started his own business distributing potato chips. Mr. Lay later bought the company that supplied him with product and changed its name to H.W. Lay Company. The Frito Company and H.W. Lay Company merged in 1961 to become Frito-Lay, Inc.

Today, Frito-Lay brands account more than half of the U.S. snack chips industry.

Created in 1965 by researchers at the University of Florida for the school's football team, "The Gators," Gatorade is now the world's leading sport's drink.

5.4 Quaker Foods North AmericaThe Quaker Oats Company was formed in 1901 when several

American pioneers in oat milling came together to incorporate. In Ravenna, Ohio, Henry D. Seymour and William Heston had established the Quaker Mill Company and registered the now famous trademark. Seymour wanted his product to be a symbol of honesty, integrity and strength. The figures of a man in Quaker clothes became the first registered trademark for breakfast cereal and remains the hallmark for Quaker Oats today.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, John Stuart and his son, Robert, and their partner, George Douglas, operated the largest cereal mill of the time. Ferdinand Schumacher, known as "The Oatmeal King," had founded German Mills American Oatmeal Company in 1856.

Combining The Quaker Mill Company with the Stuart and Schumacher businesses brought together the top oats milling expertise in the country as The Quaker Oats Company.

The first major acquisition of the company was Aunt Jemina Mills Company in 1926, which is today the leading manufacturer of pancake mixes and syrup.

In 1986, The Quaker Oats Company acquired the Golden Grain Company, producers of Rice-A-Roni.

PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company in 2001. Its products still have the eminence of wholesome, good-for-you food, as envisioned by the company over a century ago.

6 PepsiCo, Inc. Code of ConductPepsiCo is committed to providing safe and healthy work

environments and to being an environmentally responsible corporate citizen. It is their policy to comply with all applicable environmental, safety and healthy laws and regulations.

They are dedicated to designing, constructing, maintaining and operating facilities that protect their people and physical resources. They believe that protecting the environment is an important part of good corporate citizenship. They are committed to minimizing the impact of their business on the environment with methods that are socially responsible, scientifically based and economically sound. They encourage conservation, recycling and energy use programs that promote clean air and water and reduce landfill waste.

7 Great People The last competitive advantage of PepsiCo mentioned is less

tangible, but every bit as fundamental to their success. It involves people and values. They believe that, as a company,

they are defined by their relationships with their consumers — employees, partners and of course, their shareholders. Their destinies are very directly linked: As they grow, shareholders should grow as well. They are going to grow as long as Pepsi continues to attract, develop and retain world-class people. As part of this effort to have a world-class team, they strive to foster a diverse and inclusive work environment — one that allows all their employees to achieve professional growth and fulfillment, without regard to gender, ethnicity or other differences.

This Part of their executives' compensation is linked to the achievement of diversity goals — related to hiring, promotion and turnover — within the context of each operating unit's Affirmative Action Plans. And, in fact, their divisions achieves all their diversity goals. With business partners, they try to engage in relationships that are mutually beneficial. They can achieve sustainable success only if their partners & their bottlers succeed alongside them. Their retail customers — from the multinational supermarket chain to the single unit convenience store — should be able to earn a fair and reasonable profit selling their products, and they should provide them with the best opportunities for sales and profit growth. And their consumers, the people who eat and drink what they make, should get great quality and value every time they buy their brands.

"Growth with Integrity" is an idea that binds them all together. They are focused and beautifully positioned to grow. And they

continue to close in on their ultimate goal of being the world's very best consumer products company.

8 Social Aspects:

8.1 DOES PEPSI DONATE TO CHARITY? Community involvement is important to Pepsi-Cola Company

because their products touch the lives of so many people. That's why they make numerous in-kind and monetary donations each year to support local and national charitable organizations.

8.2 DOES PEPSI SUPPORT THE ENVIRONMENT? Pepsi-Cola has a strong history of caring for the environment. Their

goal is to have the least possible impact on the environment, and so far they have been very successful. Among their environmentally friendly initiatives are the "Please Recycle" message on each and every container that they make, and their contributions to a number of programs designed to stop littering and promote recycling.

Pepsi-Cola is committed to being an environmentally responsible corporate citizen. In their offices, they use their resources wisely and actively recycle cans and paper. They not only strive to meet local and state environmental laws, but also try to exceed them by being industry innovators.

In 1995, Pepsi was one of only 20 companies honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

8.3 WHAT'S FRESHNESS DATING?

At Pepsi-Cola, quality, taste and consumer satisfaction are their highest priorities. They take great care to ensure that Pepsi-Cola brands deliver the best taste available in soft drink refreshment. That's why since 1994, they have listed a freshness date on all of their packaging to ensure their loyal consumers can enjoy the best tasting beverages possible.

While their products are never harmful when consumed after this date, they do recommend drinking the product by then to ensure its flavor is at its best. Also, by storing Pepsi in a cool place, great taste is guaranteed!

8.4 SHAREHOLDERSPepsiCo (symbol: PEP) shares are traded principally on the New

York Stock Exchange in the United States. The company is also listed on the Amsterdam, Chicago, Swiss and Tokyo stock exchanges. PepsiCo has consistently paid cash dividends since the corporation was founded.

9 Exceptional Innovation Capabilities

Without question, innovation is the single greatest driver of growth for PepsiCo and their product categories. After years of making innovation a high priority, PepsiCo has experience and capabilities unrivaled in their industry. Frito-Lay has by far the world's greatest institutional knowledge of snacks and snack consumption. Pepsi-Cola, a longtime leader in new products and packaging, recently added the creative resources of SoBe. And the combination of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute and the Tropicana Nutrition Center gives them unmatched expertise in the growing segment of "functional" beverages that offer nutrition or other health benefits consumers value.

The beauty of innovation is the way it differentiates their products in the marketplace. New products and packages — or changes to existing ones — give consumers exciting new reasons to buy their brands. Equally important, innovation gives retailers a great new reason to feature them prominently. That's a big competitive advantage. So they grab every opportunity to differentiate their products through innovation.

Differentiation also occurs in manufacturing. Frito-Lay patented a new process to produce more intense flavors in its Ruffles Flavor Rush snacks by coating the entire chip, front and back. For Tostitos Scoops, Frito-Lay developed technology to make tortilla chips, typically flat, in a three-dimensional spoonlike shape suited to scooping salsa or dip. Sounds easy. It's not.

New, more convenient packages also help them stand out from the competition. Tropicana's new 14-ounce plastic orange juice bottle is elegantly contoured to fit easily in the hand and the automobile cup holder. Similar thinking inspired Frito-Lay to create Go Snacks. These smaller versions of their traditional brands come in a plastic canister that also fits easily in hand and cup holder. On-the-go consumers can "pour" the snacks directly into their mouths. In one more example of innovative packaging, the Gatorade E.D.G.E. bottle is ergonomically designed for optimal thirst quenching. In a business where consumers

24

Page 25: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

demand great taste, innovative flavors also make their products distinctive. For example, Mountain Dew Code Red, a new version of Mountain Dew "with a rush of cherry flavor," hit the market in 2001 and became one of the most successful new soft drinks ever.

11 Water World - the battle for a global brand

The world's drinks giants Coca Cola and Pepsi are among the world's most recognised brand names. As the popularity of bottled mineral water continues to reach new highs and take share from these carbonates, questions of the first truly global water brand are beginning to surface. Among those best placed are Europe's big players. Can Evian, Volvic or Perrier create the Coke & Pepsi of the water world?

12 Current Corporate Strategy:

12.1 Growth and Integrity The 2001 results show that people across this company recognize

that the single biggest reason for the merger is growth. Growth, after all, is what PepsiCo is about. It always has been. Growth is important. But equally important is how they get there. Growth and integrity have gone together at Pepsi for as long as their existence. And they will do everything in their power to ensure that continues. In fact, they literally designed PepsiCo so they can fulfill their ambitions for growth without ever having to cut corners, compromise their integrity or otherwise violate the sacred trust placed in PepsiCo by their shareholders, their employees and so many others.

12.2 Built to Grow It starts with a laser focus on "convenience." Convenient, easy-to-

consume products are the fastest-growing part of the global food and beverage industry. Around the world, people are spending hundreds of billions of dollars each year on foods and drinks that fit their busy lifestyles. And they're spending more each year. It's a vast opportunity.

It's also an area they know very well. They have been making and selling convenient products for decades. In that time they have become the leader in convenient foods and drinks in the United States and the world they compete in. Far more exciting, they are better equipped than any other company for continued success in this big, expanding worldwide market.

13 Product Portfolio:

13.1 HOW DO they MAKE PEPSI?

Actually, there's no secret to how to make Pepsi (except for the recipe). But there is a system. And that system, plus a lot of hard work, is what enables Pepsi-Cola and the independent Pepsi-Cola bottlers all around the world to bring the consumes that high-quality, consistently refreshing Pepsi taste each time they open one of pepsi's products.

The system starts with the finest ingredients available -- kola nuts, vanilla beans, flavor oils, citrus, sweeteners and the purest waters we can distill. Then they add the best technology and all the care we can muster to blend their ingredients.

And during the 100-plus years they have been making soft drinks, they have also created their own exacting production and quality standards, monitored with constant testing to guarantee quality and consistency in their products.

Finally, they have their own local distribution system. It's designed to make sure that the Pepsi consumers open at home is as fresh and delicious as it was when they sealed it at their plant. And it serves every city and town in the world.

13.2 QUALITY At every level of Pepsi-Cola Company, they take great care to

ensure that the highest standards are met in everything they do. In

30

Page 31: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

their products, packaging, marketing and advertising, they strive for excellence because their consumers expect and deserve nothing less. They promise to work toward continuous improvement in all areas of their organization.

At every step of their manufacturing and bottling process, strict quality controls are followed to ensure that Pepsi-Cola products meet the same high standards of quality that consumers have come to expect and value from them. They also follow strict quality control procedures during the manufacturing and filling of their packages. Each bottle and can undergoes a thorough inspection and testing process. Containers are then rinsed and quickly filled through a high-speed, state-of-the-art process that helps prevent any foreign material from entering the product. Additional quality control measures help to ensure the integrity of Pepsi-Cola products throughout the distribution process, from warehouse to store shelf.

13.3 WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN PEPSI PRODUCTS?

They only use the finest ingredients to make Pepsi-Cola products. To guarantee their consumers consistent quality, each ingredient must pass Pepsi-Cola's high standards, rigorous quality control tests and strict bottling procedures.

All ingredients are listed on the label in order of decreasing amount. Pepsi-Cola products contain natural flavors, including extracts of the kola nut, vanilla beans and flavor oils derived from natural sources such as citrus and other fruits. Caramel (made from corn sugar) adds color and flavor to our colas. Their ingredients add a refreshing taste: phosphoric acid in colas; citric acid and sodium citrate in Mountain Dew, Slice and Diet Pepsi.

They also put a freshness date on every can and bottle. Soft drinks may lose some flavor over time so their freshness date tells consumers when the product is freshest and best tasting.

Every can and bottle of Pepsi-Cola products has a Nutrition Facts panel, which shows the number of calories and other nutrients per serving. There is essentially no fat in any Pepsi-Cola products. The main ingredients found in Pepsi-Cola products include carbonated water, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, potassium and caffeine. For a complete breakdown by ingredients by product, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Mountain Dew, Slice, Mug Root Beer, Aquafina or FruitWorks is recommended.

. Aspartame: Aspartame is a sugar substitute used in their diet

beverages and many other food products. Aspartame is made of the same building blocks as protein, so it is considered a "nutritive

sweetener," but the very small amounts used in diet drinks contribute no calories.

Acesulfame-K: Acesulfame-K (or "Ace-K") is a non-nutritive, calorie-free sweetener. A blend of Acesulfame Potassium and Nutrasweet is used to provide taste and sweetness to Pepsi ONE.

Sodium: All of their products are "low sodium" and contain less than 110 mg per eight-fluid- ounce serving. A number of beverages have less than 35 mg sodium per serving, so they are considered "very low sodium" products.

Potassium: Potassium in Pepsi-Cola products may come from water or as part of certain ingredients. For example, potassium may be combined with benzoic acid, which helps prevent spoilage and flavor changes. Potassium is an electrolyte that helps meet the mineral needs of active people.

Caffeine: Caffeine provides a characteristic flavor to soft drinks. Caffeine is naturally found in coffee, tea and chocolate. There is no caffeine in Caffeine-Free Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, Fruitworks, Aquafina, Slice, MUG Root Beer/Cream Soda, Sierra Mist or Caffeine-Free Mountain Dew.

16 NEW CORPORATE MISSION:

To create superior customer value and maximize shareholders equity by developing new products and reaching more markets. Our success depends on the quality, our product they must be safe, economically efficient and environment friendly. We take care all our stakeholders and work as a family and

59

Page 60: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

provide equal opportunity to all our employees to develop and grow with their own company.

17 Objectives1 Increase Profitability and shareholders wealth 2 Cost Cutting by improving methods of production 3 New product development4 To enter new markets for existing products5 Improve quality of our products6 To enhance corporate image and become world’s number one

organization in soft drink industry7 More opportunities for employees to develop and grow8 Safe guard natural environment

18 Corporate Strategy:

18.1 Strategy related to specific Brand:

MirindaIndustry is relatively attractive and Business strengths needs more

concentration at the same time company holds moderate market share. Company should follow Invest/grow Strategy

Pepsi ColaIndustry is attractive and Business strengths are good at the same

time Pepsi holds good market share. Company can follow Selective investment strategy.

Diet PepsiIndustry attractiveness is high but total market is size is

comparatively small. Business holds relatively good strengths. In such case company can make selective investment.

Mountain DewIndustry attractiveness is medium and Company is lacking

business strengths. In such case company have two choices either it can make some investment to get the desire capabilities or it can Harvest.

7 Up

60

Page 61: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

Industry attractiveness is high and Business strengths are good . Therefore there is no need to make huge investment rather selective investment can be make in some areas of interest.

SliceIndustry attractiveness is moderate and same in case of business

strengths. Company need to make investment to over come the weak point its has.

AquafinaIndustry is highly attractive but business is lacking some required

strengths. So think that company must make investment to over come its weak points.

18.2 Other Corporate Strategies:

18.2.1 New product development:From our analysis of whole case study and relevant information

gathered we come to know that there is a room for new product in company product mix offered in Pakistan. Company may introduce some of its exiting products in Pakistan or come up with entirely new product that could compete with Local Brand like ROOH AFZA, NORUS, etc.

18.2.2 Strategic Alliance, There’s Strength In Numbers Strategic alliances occur when two separate businesses join

together to offer a broader set of skills or services to joint clients, to the mutual benefit of both companies. An alliance between companies that provide different, but complementary, services or products allows both companies to create an advantage over competitors by broadening the scope of their operations.

Alliances can make your business more valuable to your client, expand your business, multiply your sales force, and give you a dependable supplier of the aligned service or product.

There are no rules restricting alliances: Large businesses may join with small businesses and vice versa; small businesses may band together, or large businesses may collaborate with each other. But there are three basic characteristics that most successful alliances share:

The alliance benefits both partners. Good agreements open new doors for the partners and allow room to evolve as future opportunities occur.

Successful alliances create new value through collaboration. Partners must value the skills each party brings to the alliance.

61

Page 62: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

For an alliance to flourish, both parties must be involved in managing the partnership. An alliance without trust and respect is doomed to failure.

Pepsi Co can have strategic alliance with other up stream and down stream organization, this will give them competitive edge over their competitors. While going for an strategic alliance Pepsi must concentrate on what they do best, and bring added value to their customers.

19 Marketing Strategy

19.1 SEGMENTINGThey are committed to marketing their products to all groups,

treating all customers with respect, sensitivity and fairness, while providing some of the greatest products on earth.

Early in its history - as far back as the 1940s - Pepsi-Cola recognized the importance of diversity. Pepsi pioneered targeted marketing and national lifestyle advertising featuring minorities. they developed education and sports programs spotlighting minorities. they partnered with many groups to create programs that contribute to minority communities. they sponsored major music tours by entertainers such as Michael Jackson and Tina Turner. they support minority media and interests. Over the years, their success has been recognized with numerous awards. Most importantly, their products are purchased and enjoyed by all groups of consumers.

19.2 PACKAGING Providing their consumers with easy-to-use, convenient and

innovative containers is one of their top priorities. Package introductions they have made over the years include the industry's first two-liter bottle; the first company to respond to consumer preference with lightweight, recyclable, plastic bottles; The Cube, an easy-to-store 24-pack; Big Slam, the wide-mouth one-liter bottle; as well as our three-liter bottle, designed to provide consumers with extra value (not all products and packaging is available in all markets).

Their local bottlers, many of which are privately owned, franchise operations, make all packaging decisions. Most of their bottlers are following the industry-wide trend to use plastic packaging due to environmental considerations. The industry is now making greater use of fully recyclable aluminum cans and PET plastic bottles.

The "CUBE" is Pepsi's new innovative 24-can multipack. It was dubbed the "CUBE" by consumer focus groups, which are a small test

62

Page 63: Pepsi Strategic Marketing

Strategic Marketing Pepsi Cola

market population that's invited by Pepsi-Cola to give the company feedback before the introduction of a new package or product. The consumer focus groups Pepsi used for this product coined the name the "CUBE" and it stuck!

Polyethylene terephthalate, or "PET plastic," is a form of polyester used to make strong, lightweight, shatter-resistant bottles for soft drinks, water, juice and other non-food products. Bottles made from PET plastic, which are marked with the number one code on the or near the bottle of the bottle, are recyclable into products including new containers, fiberfill for sleeping bags and coats, fabric, carpet, auto parts, film and more

19.3 PRICINGProviding quality products at the lowest possible price has always

been one of Pepsi's main concerns. One of the ways they have been able to assist this effort is by expanding their use of inexpensive and recyclable plastic bottles.

The soft drink industry today is confronted with a bewildering array of price increases. Their expenditures for labor, ingredients, transportation and more all continue to rise. The cost of aluminum alone has increased dramatically since last year. Across their entire system however, they have been cutting overhead and re-engineering their manufacturing process in order to keep their prices competitive. It is their policy to limit any price increases to the retail trade to the lowest possible extent.

19.4 Distribution Service They should go to market through a distribution network offering

extraordinary strength and flexibility. Their goal should be to put their products within easy reach of the consumer. Their distribution systems must be design to help then to achieve their goal. Because practices and customs vary by market and because retail customers have different needs, Therefore they Should have several successful models for service that they use around the world.

19.4.1 Direct Store Delivery Vast and powerful direct store delivery (DSD) systems are at the heart of

that network. Through these systems they take snacks and drinks directly to tens of thousands of distribution outlets, from the tiniest convenience store to the largest warehouse outlet. They and their bottlers actually take products into the store and set them on the shelves. That helps to ensure that their

products are fresh and that fragile items like potato chips are handled with care. It also allows them to merchandise their brands for maximum visibility and appeal. Their systems can move new products into distribution very quickly, sometimes as fast as a week. And because they call on retail customers so frequently, they know very quickly how a new product is selling.

At the same time, DSD provides big financial benefits to retailers. Since they handle the products and do the merchandising, retailers save on labor. And because their products typically are sold and restocked every few days, while retailers pay for them on 30-day cycles, they add a lot to a store's cash flow.

19.5 Promotion Promotion is the specific mix of advertising, personal selling, sales

promotion, and public relations a company uses to pursue its advertising and marketing objectives.

Objectives The objectives that are met by promoting are to move the target

market through the following phases: Unawareness -> Awareness -> Beliefs/Knowledge -> Attitude ->

Purchase Intention -> PurchaseIt is believed that consumers cannot skip over a phase, but they

need to move through them. Promotion is used to move the target market from one phase to another to finally purchase.

The Offer The offer needs to be identified before you begin any promoting.

What are you offering the target customer? What do you want the target market to do?

19.5.1 PEPSI ADVERTISING For over 100 years, Pepsi-Cola has produced some of the finest

soft drinks ads available anywhere in the world. From today's "Joy of Cola" campaign starring "Pepsi Girl" Hallie Eisenberg to yesterday's "Nickel, Nickel" (1939), their ads are as memorable as the products they produce. Both electronic and print media is used for promotional purpose.

19.6 Pepsi’s brand management

The bond arising from the customer's entire experience with the brand leads to a relationship that can last forever. As the alignment grows stronger, so does the brand. People love it. And they buy it.

Thus, born in corporate boardroom, pepsi has become a social artifact, having stolen its way into the popular lexicon and created history. This forever brand has continued to survive in spite of the changes taking place all around it. And the passage of time has failed to tarnish its glory. Who cares what it is made of? What matters is only that its tangy flavor has quenched the thirst of millions, its swoosh of effervescence has soothed parched souls since the 1890s and its scarlet hue has painted the world in to its three colours.

on one hand we have a marketing meltdown that is flagellating at least 50 per cent of all brands, on the other we have Pepsi that has continued to achieve meteoric growth despite all odds. This begs one question: what makes this forever brand different? The search for the right answer is what has driven an extensive research effort over the past few years to extract the essence of the success and to study the core ideas that have clicked so well with the consumers. In the campaigns of this forever brand-five ways have been identified to the consumers' heart: self-statement, emotion, perception, virtual benefit, pride and values.

19.6.1 Self-statement

Consumers prefer pepsi because it expresses their (desired) character and identity. This is all about the brand's power to tell a sharp, crisp and precise story about them. pepsi helps its consumers define their identity and express it. Within a split second, Pepsi can draw a complete picture of the consumer character, personality and identity. This forever brand is found to express precisely that personality or character trait aspired to by the consumer. To make the brand the 'megaphone' for what the consumer wants to express, Pepsi is powered by a provocative ideology that the consumers want to proclaim.

19.6.2 Emotion Consumers prefer Pepsi because they love the brand. To generate

feelings so powerful that consumers have to buy the brand out of love, Pepsi is positioned as an ally to the consumers on an important emotional stance, which their marketers identify as the key behind it. The bond arising from the customer's experience with Pepsi leads to a relationship that can last forever. As the alignment grows stronger, so does the brand. People love it. And they buy it.

19.6.3 Perception The way people perceive Pepsi is the result of programmes deeply

ingrained in their minds. Consumers prefer the brand because perception and behavior programmes point to it as the only logical choice.

19.6.4 Virtual benefit Consumers prefer this brand because it offers a compelling

(virtual) benefit. To shape a virtual edge over competitors, with the unique flavor, Pepsi, refreshes one to feel as cool as ice.

19.6.5 Pride and values Consumers prefer Pepsi because it creates an inner satisfaction

that they are still young.

19.7 Game plan of Pepsi: ConclusionThree main strategic imperatives for Pepsi

19.7.1 Owning and broadening the categoryPepsi should strived hard to 'own' the category by making their

brand's personality thoroughly distinct and then tried to broaden the way consumers think about the category and the brand. Here Focused should be on six primary personality traits viz. youthful, fun, adventurous, exclusive, outdoorsy and romantic.

19.7.2 Capturing all occasions Pepsi can enhance is competitive position by seeking out every

possible sales opportunity by crowding sales channels and by maximising penetration and by using alliances to build presence quickly.

19.7.3 Building high-credibility personalities Pepsi must enhance their credibility and inspire trust in consumers.

But broadly, they seem to distinguish themselves most in the areas of trustworthiness, leadership and intelligence, Company must communicate confidence so that customer feel that this soft drink is safe and they can always enjoy it

The world around Pepsi is changing beyond recognition. And so is the temperament of the custodians of civilization. In order to keep pace with the times, this legendary brand went ahead to make small compromises with the fascinating changes around it while its core identity remained as unaltered as a genetic code. Pepsi must try to enhance its credibility, command trust, capture mind shares, earn loyalty and generate shareholder value
