INTRODUCTION

Beverage industry is one of the fast growing industries in India .it can be divided

into two sections i.e. carbonated and non-carbonated. the carbonated drinks that can

be further classified into cola, lemon orange, mango and apple segments.

Marketing includes all the activities like promotion, distribution, advertising etc.

To fulfill all the segments of consumers. Marketing is also to convert social needs into

profitable opportunities. So this topic provides all the essentials to theoretical

knowledge with practical knowledge and to inculcate the efficiency. it is also

requirement for the company to improve their service and product quality for achieving

their ultimate goal.

As far as the soft drink market is concerned, it is facing the cut throat

competition because of the availability of a large number of indirect as well as direct

competitors. Single company offers the soft drink to the market in different taste and

flavors. In this industry entire range of flavors are produced by other competitors also.

More often it becomes impossible to differentiate between the same flavors of two

different brands, when served in plane container, range also. All these factors together

make the situation complicated. besides both corresponding brands have the similar

price.

STRENGTH & WEAKNESSES

OF PEPSI CO.

Pepsi Cola throughout its 100 years of existence has developed much strength. One of the

strengths that have developed Pepsi into such a large corporation is a strong franchise system.

The strong franchise system was the backbone of success along with a great entrepreneur spirit.

Pepsi’s franchise system and distributors is credited to bring Pepsi from a 7,968 gallons of soda

sold in 1903 to nearly 5 billion gallons in the year of 1997.

Pepsi also has the luxury to spend 225 million dollars in advertising a year. This

enormous ad budget allows Pepsi to reinforce their products with reminder advertising and

promotions. This large budget also allows Pepsi to introduce new products and very quickly

make the consumer become aware of their new products.

Pepsi-Cola provides advertising, marketing, sales and promotional support to Pepsi-Cola

bottlers and food service customers. This includes some of the world's best-loved and most-

recognized advertising. New advertising and exciting promotions keep

Pepsi-Cola brands young. The company manufactures and sells soft drink concentrate to

Pepsi-Cola bottlers. The company also provides fountain beverage products.

Pepsi also has had the good fortune of making very wise investments. Some of the best

investments have been in their acquiring several large fast food restaurants.

They have also made wise investments in snack food companies like Frito Lay, which at

present time is the largest snacks company in the world.

16 | P a g e

Probably high on the list of strengths is Pepsi’s beverage line up. Pepsi has four soft drinks

in the top ten beverages in the world. These brands are Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, and

Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi. Pepsi also has the No.1 tea in the United States, Lipton Tea. Some

other strong brands are All Sport, Slice, Tropicana, Starbucks, Aquafina and a license

agreement with Ocean Spray Juices.

Pepsi Cola like any company has weaknesses. Ironically, the one strength that has been

credited for most of its success in the past has now become a weakness for Pepsi. This former

strength is the franchise system. The franchise system in Pepsi Corporate view has become a

liability. Pepsi in today’s market must be able to act as one instead of several separate units.

The franchise system has become a hurdle to Pepsi because many of these franchises

have become very strong and will not be dictated by PepsiCo on how to handle their operations.

Some of these franchises are unwilling to support certain Pepsi products and at times produce

their own private label products that are in direct competition with Pepsi products.

Secondly the franchisees are not willing to make capital expenditures to keep up with

Coca-Cola who is a firm believer in reinvesting into their infrastructure (Coca Cola at present

time does not operate a franchise bottling system).

As mentioned earlier Pepsi has tried to elevate this problem by spinning off their interest

in fast food restaurants but at present time are still guilty by association to many of the large

fountain accounts. The franchise system has also affected fountain sales due to the fact

17 | P a g e

franchisees are not willing to buy expensive fountain equipment to place in accounts mainly

because the profit margin is so low and could take years to recoup their investment. Pepsi also

has a weakness in the international beverage market.

Unfortunately for Pepsi they were a “Johnny Come Lately” into this arena. Pepsi has

tried to enter this market by trying to do in three years what took Coke 50 years to do. This area

will take years for Pepsi to mature simply due to Coke’s dominance in the international market

and the strong ties that Coke has developed with these markets and their governments.

Pepsi customers buy nearly five billion gallons of soft drinks per year. Pepsi customers

buy their products because of taste, price, packaging and promotional factors and of a wide

variety of brands. Pepsi customers also buy their products due to the high accessibility of Pepsi

brands.

Pepsi products are distributed to many outlets. For example, supermarkets where Pepsi

buys large shelf area and display areas so the customer can find them easier, viz, Convenience

stores, Restaurants, Movie theaters and almost and other conceivable spots.

Pepsi has a competitive advantage over Coke because of the image it portrays. Pepsi

promotes itself as the choice of the “New Generation”. Pepsi gets this advantage by

implementing such large marketing projects like “Project Globe”.

This marketing plan, which Pepsi spent 637 million dollars over five years, is to introduce

the new rich deep blue coloring of its packaging. The rich deep blue coloring represents eternal

youthfulness and openness. Marketing plans like this made Pepsi one of the coolest brands

recognized among teens in the top five and the only beverage product in this category.

18 | P a g e

Another competitive advantage that Pepsi has is in their product Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew has grown a staggering 74.1% over the last five years. Mountain Dew has a

6.3% market share and has recently become the No.4 soft drink in America. At this current pace

Mountain Dew will be come the first non-cola to reach the 1billion gallon mark in one year.

Pepsi also has an advantage as an innovator in their field. They are the first soft drink

makers to introduce a new one-calorie soda called Pepsi-One with, just approved by the FDA,

Ace-K

.

This new sweetener is slated to be a break through for diet soda in which it limits the

after taste associated with diet soda and brings a more cola taste to the product. Pepsi has

always been a strong No.2 against Coke and have become one of the world’s largest

Companies. As far as market share is concerned Pepsi stands strong.

PEPSI-THE INDIAN EXPERIENCE

• Pepsi is one of the most well known brands in the world today available in over 160

countries. The company has an extremely positive outlook for India. "Outside North America

two of our largest and fastest growing businesses are in India and China, which include more

than a third of the world’s population." (PepsiCo’s annual report, 1999)

• This reflects that India holds a central position in Pepsi’s corporate strategy. India is a

key market for PepsiCo, and at the same time the company has added value to Indian agriculture

and industry. PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and is concentrating in three focus areas – Soft

drink concentrate, Snack foods and Vegetable and Food processing.

• Faced with the existing policy framework at the time, the company entered the Indian

market through a joint venture with Voltas and Punjab Agro Industries. With the introduction of

the liberalization policies since 1991, Pepsi took complete control of its operations. The

government has approved more than US$ 400 million worth of investments of which over US$

330 million have already flown in.

• One of PepsiCo’s key strategies was to develop a completely local management team.

Pepsi has 19 company owned factories while their Indian bottling partners own 21.

The two advertisements tags: ‘yehi hai right choice baby’ and ‘nothing official about it’

immediately ring a bell- it’s got to be Pepsi.

20 | P a g e

The advertisement tag ‘yehi hai right choice baby’ was the first ‘Hinglish’

slogan ever used in the in the Indian market. This slogan proved to be the best

suited one for Pepsi and it was a mega hit and at that moment of time.

Pepsi in a short span of its operations in India has found a place in the

hearts and minds of the Indian consumers. The success has primarily been due

to the innovative and passionate Indian team, which has been built over the

years. Pepsi is a trendsetter managed and run by Indians, where important

decisions are taken locally.

Pepsi started its operations in India in 1989 and since then PepsiCo has

set up a fully integrated operation in India viz. Manufacturing, Research &

Development, Marketing, Distribution and Franchising- covering fruit/vegetable

processing, Exports, Snack Foods & Beverages. In the mean time Pizza Hut

and Frito Lay’s are the examples in this regard only.

Pepsi has 40 bottling plants in India, out of which 16 are company owned and

24 are owned by Indian franchisees. One of the major player in franchisee is

RKJ Group.

The RKJ group is India's leading supplier of retailer brand Carbonated

and Non-Carbonated soft drinks, with beverage manufacturing facilities in India

and Nepal. Its experience in the beverage industry dates back to the sixties

when it had the first franchise at Agra.

21 | P a g e

It has the license to supply beverages in the territories of Western U.P.,

part of M.P., half of Haryana, whole of Rajasthan, Goa, 3 districts of

Maharashtra, 9 districts of Karnataka and whole of Nepal. The group has in total

18 bottling plants in India & Nepal and is responsible for producing and

marketing 44% of Pepsi requirement in India.

This group has brought name and fame to the Pepsi as in all this regions

Pepsi is at the commanding position and in the mean this group has diversified

itself into ice cream, suiting and shirtings, restaurants, beer plant in Mauritius &

edible oil plant in Sri Lanka

Pepsi's Global Strategy

When the "You're in the Pepsi Generation" advertising campaign launched in 1963, it may have been the first time a brand was marketed primarily with an association to its consumers' aspirational attitudes. A decidedly youth-oriented strategy, the campaign hoped to hook young Baby Boomers while they were still young. In 1984 Pepsi launched another long-running campaign, "The Choice of a New Generation," and in 1997 they debuted the "GeneratioNext" concept.

46 | P a g e

The newest campaign slogan, introduced this year, is "More Happy,"

which definitely coincides with one concrete example of "more" in the packaging of Pepsi products today—more designs. Many more. At least 35 distinct design ideas will grace the packaging of Pepsi's cans and bottles this year alone, and this design strategy may continue indefinitely.

Though not "generational" in word, the campaign certainly has a youth-oriented feel with package designs, advertising, and websites that are fun and playful. PepsiCo worked closely with Peter Arnell and Arnell Group, based in New York City, to devise a comprehensive new strategy that would connect with Pepsi's core consumers. Arnell reinvented the Pepsi package as a meaningful and appealing communications tool for the latest generation of youth that are not overwhelmed by media, music, or digital distractions.

Experiental packaging

Arnell Group (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnicom Group) is a design and brand creation firm specializing in experiential design and product innovation, preferring to take complete branding and packaging projects from first concept to complete market solutions. Peter Arnell, currently chairman and chief creative officer of Arnell Group, formed the Arnell Group Innovation Lab in 1999 to place invention and innovation at the forefront in a collaborative laboratory for corporations interested in designing for next generation products and experiences. Arnell applied many of his philosophies in the Pepsi project.

Peter has taken a classic and turned it into a modern, innovative, and relevant marketing and communications tool," said Ron Coughlin, chief marketing officer, beverages, PepsiCo International. The new global look launched in February with eight new package designs across cans and bottles, and the campaign is unfolding in a similar manner overseas. The can designs roll out one at a time approximately three weeks apart to enhance the anticipation of discovery and to pique the interest of collectors.

Product innovation today must be driven by deep consumer meaning and connectivity," says Arnell. "It is less about unmet needs and more

47 | P a g e

about giving people what they haven't asked for but are dying to have. Using design to turn packaging into personal consumer-powered media helps create the ultimate supportive and inspiring relationship between Pepsi and its youth audience."

Thinking globally

The Pepsi can designs roll out one at a time, but the two-liter Pepsi bottles will have three or four designs out at any given time.

Mike Doyle, creative director at Arnell Group, explains that there was a great depth of exploration and research that was conducted before even beginning to formulate a new Pepsi packaging strategy. PepsiCo and Arnell Group traveled extensively to emerging markets to find key consumer product drivers for youth cultures and to learn how the Pepsi brand was perceived in different countries.

They found, somewhat surprisingly, that there were very few differences around the world in how consumers felt about Pepsi's fun, effervescent brand image. "The brand equity is really consistent," says James Miller, marketing director, Pepsi-Cola North America. They also found many consistencies in youth cultures around the world in how today's youth is preoccupied with newness, discovery, and personalization of their possessions. Miller describes the design campaign's goal as "sustainable discovery," where the consumer audience is constantly intrigued and engaged.

Designers at Arnell Group created the dozens of new and vibrant designs with only a handful of blue and gray shades. Each design tells a story of sorts and each can design has a unique website address on the side of the can. The first one on the "Your Pepsi" can allows web users to design a digital billboard that will appear in Times Square, and one coming shortly will allow users to mix their own music online.

"We redefined packaging as media in the marketplace for Pepsi," says Doyle. "It speaks to youth in their language." Doyle believes that the designs succeed because they are able to capture the audience's mind space. "The designs are reflecting back to the culture instead of talking to the culture or imposing on it."

Reassuringly Pepsi

Pepsi actually asked their loyal consumers what brand elements would have to remain so that they would be intuitively reassured that their favorite drinks were not changing and the brand they trusted was still essentially the same. Their answer was direct and consistent. Pepsi-lovers needed to see three elements for sure—the Pepsi "globe," the iconic Pepsi blue, and the familiar tilted Pepsi capital letters.

Arnell Group updated the primary logo substantially and cleverly without really redesigning its key elements. The most recent logo design had the Pepsi wordmark on top of and slightly overlapping the iconic Pepsi red-white-and-blue "globe." On the previous can design, the wordmark wrapped halfway around the can, and the globe was off-center. The new cans and bottles have un-bundled the word and globe, making the newly centered globe more of the hero, and the smaller Pepsi wordmark less prominent.

Television ad campaigns are reinforcing the globe-centric approach by featuring a boulder-sized Pepsi globe in various settings careening to and fro like a pinball. In the ads and on the front of most of the new packages is the reassuring tag line: "Same Pepsi inside, new look outside." Miller explains that it is customary and important to reassure consumers for at least six months in situations like this.

Miller also sees today's youth as demanding authenticity from the products they come into contact with in their day-to-day experiences. The new Pepsi design strategy is versatile because it can be authentic and stay current, and it could also make introducing special seasonal or regional designs more intriguing and less disruptive. "This is a new way of using packaging as media," explains Miller. "The consumer is looking for more variety and expecting more from their brands. They want to have a dialogue with their favorite brands."

PEPSI GLOBAL LOGO

While taking to consumers some years back, Pepsi carried one exercise consumers, "Take a piece of paper and draw what Pepsi means to

50 | P a g e

you".

Interestingly, a lot of consumers especially kids drew the Pepsi's globe.

What is the globe? Well, its red, white and blue which says a lot of things.

Secondly, It has an incredible balance, modem kids says it has some incredible yin and yang.

Thirdly, it has a quality of complete harmony.

Lastly, it speaks about openness and eternal youthfulness.

The biggest thing about the globe is that it is 3 dimensional logo, which no other brand has.

In the Pepsi logo, blue colour has been underlined and used as a background colour. Blue colour. Blue colour is associated with cold and refreshment. Blue Jeans are a favorite piece of clothing for the youth's worldwide. Thus the colour hits the 2 dimensions:

It supports the product quality-Refreshment It reinforces consumer's affection for their favorite things.

SUSTAINABLE ADVANTAGE

Three major sustainable advantages give PepsiCo a competitive edge as we operate in the global marketplace.

Three major sustainable advantages give PepsiCo a competitive edge as we operate in the global marketplace:

1. Big, muscular brands; 2. Proven ability to innovate and create differentiated products; and 3. Powerful go-to-market systems.

Making it all work are our extraordinarily talented and dedicated people.

When we take these competitive advantages and invest in them with dollars generated from top-line growth and cost-saving initiatives, we sustain a value cycle for our shareholders.

In essence, investing in innovation fuels the building of our brands.

This in turn drives top-line growth.

Dollars from that top-line growth are strategically reinvested back into new products and other innovation, along with cost-savings projects.

Thus, the cycle continues.

THE INDIAN SOFT DRINK HISTORY

Gold Spot is considered as the first branded soft drink in India it was introduced by Parle in early forties. Coca-Cola was the foreign soft drink to be introduced in Indian markets. The Coca-Cola Company entered India in the early fifties, when four bottling plants were set up at Mumbai, Kolkotta, Delhi, and Kanpur. Coca-Cola enjoyed a good beginning and dominated the market. Parle exports private limited, the major domestic player, and later in 1970 introduced “Limca” lemon soft drink. Before Limca’s they had attentively introduced “cola Pepino” which was soon withdrawn from the market following the confrontation with Coca- Cola.

65 | P a g e

In July 1977 Coca-Cola left India following a public dispute over shareholding Structure and imports permits. Coca-Cola left a big gap, which was filled by several companies who came forward pushing different brands in market. Parle Products introduced their Cola “Thumps Up”, pure drinks introduced

“Double Seven” “Thrill”, “Rush”, “Sprint”. At the same time various regional soft brands played an independent role in their respective territories like “Duke”, “mangola”.

After coke was asked to leave India Pepsi began to lay plans to enter this huge market. Pepsi started its operations in April 1989 for beverages snack foods and export business. In 1990 first Pepsi Cola was produced in India. In the next year 1991, production of Mirinda and 7up started, the production of Slice Teem, Fountain Pepsi started in 1993.

Coca-Cola came back again in India in October 1993 and was launched in Agra.It joined hands with Parle Exports Pvt. Ltd. To enter India and gradually took over the same company. The nineties also saw a new foreign entrant Cadbury Schweppes that rolled out Canada dry and Crush in metropolitan cities. Pepsi entered the cloudy lemon market category by launching its Mirinda lemon in 1998.

In May 1999 a notification, presented the prevention of food adulteration (fourth amendment) Rules 1999, allowed the use of the artificial Sweeteners, aspartame and acesulfame potassium in The formulation of soft drinks-which was what made the entry of Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke. Coca-Cola also rolled out its popular clear lemon drink Sprite in India in the same year 1999.

Soft drinks can trace their history back to the mineral water found in springs.

Soft drinks can trace their history back to the mineral water found in natural springs. Bathing in natural springs has long been considered a healthy thing to do; and mineral water was said to have curative powers. Scientists soon discovered that gas carbonium or carbon dioxide was behind the bubbles in natural mineral water.

The first marketed soft drinks (non-carbonated) appeared in the 17th century. They were made from water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the Compagnie de Limonadiers of Paris were granted a

66 | P a g e

monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft drinks. Vendors would carry tanks of lemonade on their backs and dispensed cups of the soft drink to thirsty Parisians.

Joseph Priestley

In 1767, the first drinkable man-made glass of carbonated water was created by Englishmen Doctor Joseph Priestley.

Three years later, Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman invented a generating apparatus that made carbonated water from chalk by the use of sulfuric acid. Bergman's apparatus allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts.

John Mathews

In 1810, the first United States patent was issued for the "means of mass manufacture of imitation mineral waters" to Simons and Rundell of Charleston, South Carolina. However, carbonated beverages did not achieve great popularity in America until 1832, when John Mathews invented his apparatus for the making carbonated water. John Mathews then mass-manufactured his apparatus for sale to soda fountain owners.

Health Properties of Mineral Water

The drinking of either natural or artificial mineral water was considered a healthy practice. The American pharmacists selling mineral waters began to add medicinal and flavorful herbs to unflavored mineral water.

They used birch bark, dandelion, sarsaparilla, and fruit extracts. Some historians consider that the first flavored carbonated soft drink was that made in 1807 by Doctor Philip Syng Physick of Philadelphia. Early American pharmacies with soda fountains became a popular part of culture. The customers soon wanted to take their "health" drinks home with them and a soft drink bottling industry grew from consumer demand.

67 | P a g e

The Soft Drink Bottling Industry

Over 1,500 U.S. patents were filed for either a cork, cap, or lid for the carbonated drink bottle tops during the early days of the bottling industry. Carbonated drink bottles are under a lot of pressure from the gas. Inventors were trying to find the best way to prevent the carbon dioxide or bubbles from escaping. In 1892, the "Crown Cork Bottle Seal" was patented by William Painter, a Baltimore machine shop operator. It was the first very successful method of keeping the bubbles in the bottle.

Automatic Production of Glass Bottles

In 1899, the first patent was issued for a glass-blowing machine for the automatic production of glass bottles. Earlier glass bottles had all been hand-blown. Four years later, the new bottle-blowing machine was in operation. It was first operated by the inventor, Michael Owens, an employee of Libby Glass Company. Within a few years, glass bottle production increased from 1,500 bottles a day to 57,000 bottles a day.

Ninety years after the invention of what become one of the most favored drinks globally in 1988. Pepsi entered India flanged with heavy resources and riding the winds of change of a newly opened economy. First, Pepsi has only franchise unit. Pepsi gave his concentrate to small factory and they make beverage.

In 1988, Pepsi set up its offices in India. In this company Pepsi operates as PEPSI Foods Pepsi Co. India Holdings and Pepsi India marketing.

The mission was to change the tastes and life style of a common Indian, who identified soft drinks and beverages as a few available cold drinks, squashes and concentrates.

When it came to a refreshing drink conservative consumers would back to traditional nimboo pani, jaljeeram lassi etc.

Although India has a per capita consumption as low as 3 per person as compared to 400 in USm India has one of the largest number of potential consumers in a world with a population of an arab, Every Indian

All the activities of Pepsi Foods Pepsi Co, India Holdings and Pepsi India Marketing Company are controlled by business Unit (BU) located at GURGAON. This BU is divided into various marketing units (MU's). All except the North and Market Units have common borders with states comprising them.

The market units demarcate the areas, which are "Coboised" i.e.Have Company owned bottling operations(COBO). In these units there are company owned bottling plants while in other areas the operations are run by a franchisee these areas are referred to as Fanchisee Owned Bottling Operations (FOBO'S) and some and in some others Joint Venture operate.

COBO - In the COBO, the company has total control of the decisions and implementations undertaken, but for this the company has to invest its own money.

FOBO - The FOBO’S are independent to take their own marketing and operational decisions with no major interference form the company.

The FOBO's are supplied the concentrate from the company and they have to run the show, there after. Pepsi maintains ownership of the trademarks and is primarily responsible for ownership in a local bottling operation. This helps Pepsi maintain strong trademark on the other party's resource and expertise. The PCI workflow concentrates on Selling, Making and Delivering Pepsi- Cola.

Pepsi -Cola is a company with a "Low margin, high volume business" Pepsi Co. deals in the carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD's) Market.

CSD's fall in two categories-Cola and flavors. Coals concentrate on Pepsi whereas flavors deal with orange and Lemon. In India the flavors are Mirinda Orange and Lime. Slice is a fruit Juice concentrate based Drink.

Starting out in 1989, with that name of "Lehar Pepsi", the company has grown leaps and bounds ever since with competition increasing with reentry of coke a few years ago. Thanks to an early lead and a better understanding of the market, India remains amounts the handful of markets worldwide where Pepsi is ahead of its archival Coke.

Despite being the global Pepsi has build its success on meeting out

the Indian customer's needs. Pepsi has made its brand synchronize with localized events and traditions. Pepsi maintained its top of mind awareness with roadside signage and reminders. The partner type relationship with bottles, FOBOs as well as COBOs cover most of the company adequacy.

One of the strongest weapons in Pepsi's armory is the flexibility it has empowered its people with. Ht Pepsi every employee, may be a manager of a salesman, have an authority to take whatever steps he or she feels will make the consumers aware of the brand and increase its consumption. Thus Pepsi believed in establishing and nurturing creditability of the salesman and making the joint commitment to grow business in accounts, All these factors together led to a high froth in the Indian market and constantly increasing market share.

the transfer are distributors and retailers.

DISTRIBUTORS

Distributors are appointed agents of the company who make orders to the company by paying in advance through drafts, stock the products in their godowns and supply them to outlets through their fleet of delivery was and a team of salesmen and drivers. They are allowed to sell to company's product to the retailers in a specified area. The company divides this area into routes. Each route is covered by one unit i.e. one de livery van, one salesman one driver, one helper etc. These units and godown are their main investment. Distributors have to invest in empty bottles and crates too, so t hat they can maintain a specified quantity of reserve stock and facilitate the quick ratation of glass crates.

The company evaluates its distributors at the end of the year and makes plans for the next year. Company fixes the targets for each distributor according to market size, last year’s sales, potential growth assumption based on deposit of empties and installation of coolers at outlets. Distributors are awarded with a fair margin of RS. 10 per crate for their service. This margin could be increased for the sale above the targets, company offers are met with distributors before appointing them. Distributor complying with many schemes and contests for its customers for pushing different brands and giving various services. Company also offers many gifts like, briefcase, and handbags. T-shirts, caps etc.to encourage the distributors. If distributor does not agree with the conditions of these agreement company may reduce the area of distributor or may even terminate the relationship.

RETAILERS

The sale of particular soft drinks depends a lot entirely on retailer’s wish. Like if he does not keep Aquafina and if his shop is at the prime location then certainly the customer with turn towards other cola drinks like Bisleri, Bailley ,Kinley etc. This all goes to prove that retailer is king. So retailers require special focus from the company.

FINDING & ANALYSIS

89

FINDINGS:-

Shop owners have not been properly communicated about the Pepsi terms & conditions of providing cooling equipment. They asked us as how they could get cooling equipment from the company.

Distributor is not very active regarding it.

SUGGESTIONS:

Pepsi can enhance its program of providing cooling equipment to more no. Of outlet owner which will compel them to keep only the Pepsi Products in these coolers/freezers.

IMPACT

It will increase the popularity &brand image of Pepsi in the eyes of outlet owners, which is equally important for increase sale.

It will help the shopkeepers in providing chilled Pepsi products to the ultimate customers all the time by increasing their capacity of chilling.

STATUS

Status tells us the exact nature of outlets. It tells weather the outlets have only PEPSI products or only coke products or a mix of both. By studying this one can identify those shops, which has the potential and capacity of becoming the exclusive Pepsi outlet. This will help in two ways:

90

1. It will increase the sale and market strength of Pepsi.

2. It will simultaneously sustain the sale of its competitor products.

The Anti Pepsi Outlets surveyed in DEHRADUN = 70

Exclusive PEPSI outlets = 0

Exclusive COKE outlets = 56

Outlets having both types of soft drinks = 14

Hence among 70 anti Pepsi outlets, 14 keep both Coke and Pepsi but Pepsi in very less amount.

S uggestion

If proper attention is given then many of the shops in these areas have the capacity & will to become the exclusive Pepsi outlets. In my View those shops which have a good regular sale of 5 to 10 cases per day should be targeted to convert them in exclusive outlets.

Initially the survey was to start with the route vehicle of the distributor of that area. Two days had to be devoted with the route vehicle and noting down the name of the outlets and other particulars where ever their route vehicle visited the outlets. It was to get familiarized with the area. The next couple of days had to be surveyed individually in the same area trying to find out those outlets in that area which was not attended by the route vehicle. This was how the whole survey was to be conducted.

The main aim of this survey was to find out those outlets which are either new or remain unnoticed/unattended by the route vehicle or where the Pepsi products were not reaching.

For Pepsi these outlets is going to be the main focus of the survey. It was to know the exact strength of outlets of the area which were not selling Pepsi or selling very less. The trainee was required to collect the following information from each outlet he surveyed.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSON

The summer training project was focused on “Analysis of Anti Pepsi

Behavior of the Retail Outlets”

110

Pepsi is superior brand than coca-cola but from some time its market

share has come down due to various reasons. In India the company is running with very fast speed. The popularity of Pepsi is better than coke. It has bright future. It has democratic and communicative style of functioning.

Conclusion has been drawn:-

1- proper approach to the retailers at the time of tie ups is required.

2-The retailer’s satisfaction is low.

1- Company does not provide schemes properly.

2- No provision for regular replacement of damage of bottles.

3- Many complains of retailers does not listen by the company.

4- Many retailers want monopoly but company does not provide.

Suggestion Regarding Improvement

CE needs to personally contact with retailers who help in knowing the activities of the distributors as well as help in Promoting the business.

111

It should focus its attention to the untapped market where it can

considerably increase its market share.

Distributors should from time to time take the pain of finding out the requirement of retailers and the problem they are facing.

The process of visi installation should be made easy.

There should attention be paid to the repairing of visi out of order.

Pepsi should work hard more to increase its market share in some areas like Cantt. Road, Hazrat Ganj etc.

Advertisement and publicity in the untapped market by way of signage, racks, paintings, banners, hoarding etc. should be expanded.

Margin to retailers should be taken care off and may be possible ought to be increased without increasing the overall price.

Distributors should check the working of route agents or salesman on regular basis.

Shortages of the product during the summer season if possible should be reduced. It communicates bad message among the retailers as well as the consumers.

Signages & merchandise should be installed against the sale performance of the outlets as well as the need of the market.

Survey by the top officials should be made in the un tapped areas to access the real situation and should be done as a surprise visit instead of planned visit.

112

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

It is well know fact that constraint and limitations are bound to be present in any study do this also has some limitation as:-

113

1- The survey has been conducted only in few areas of Dehradun due to

limited time.

2- It is very difficult to make people understand the significance of conducting survey.

3- Lack of retailer’s interest to answer the questions is also an important limitation.

4- Lack of knowledge of area has affected the research.

5- The information given by the client may be false and biased.
