EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PepsiCo India holding Pvt. Ltd Company is engaged in the process of manufacturing and selling soft drink and other food item in India. In Haldwani (Uttarakhand), PepsiCo is doing good business its major strength is its Brand name and good market share in this area. My project was divided into two part first part was EVERY DEALER SURVEY (to do visi-cooler survey across Haldwani and pure and charging Pepsi visi-cooler and racks). Second part was to find out ways of improving sales and distribution of PepsiCo in Haldwani.

The study was undertaken after having a full knowledge about PepsiCo routes with PepsiCo distributor vehicle for 20 days. The route ride was very useful in knowing the sales network and outlets where PepsiCo sells its product in Haldwani. This also helps me to complete second part of my project that is to find out ways of improving sales and distribution by finding gaps in sales and distribution and searching new market.

The objective of this study was visi-cooler purity and charging and find out ways of improving sales and distribution of PepsiCo in Haldwani.

The scope of this study was with the visi-cooler purity and charging company will increase its product visibility and its sales and by finding gaps and filling these gaps company can improve its sales and distribution.

For execution of the study methodology adopted is the collection of data through observation and questionnaire, processing, and analyzing data with the help of tables and graphs. The time period for this project was 60 days and the sample size is 125 which were selected from different routes in Haldwani. The outlets which were selected were the one where PepsiCo sell its product. The area of the project is Haldwani (Uttarakhand) and its location where the survey has been undertaken is:

NAINITAL ROAD, KATHGODAM, KALADUNGAI ROAD, RAMPUR RAOD, RAILWAY BAZAR, BAREILLY ROAD etc.

On the basis of the research I conclude that most of the retailer where selling both PepsiCo and Coco-cola product and there are couple of areas where company have a opportunity of improvement for increasing its sales and distribution like company Product availability, lack of communication between company and retailers, retailer not getting schemes and discount, behaviour of salesman with retailer were not good, poor services of cooler maintains staff, untimely distribution of product in few routes, no merchandising by the salesmen’s in outlets and there is good opportunity for the company to introduce Pre-sales and Tele sales in Haldwani.

On the basis of conclusion, I recommend that:

Company should ensure its product availability in the outlets.

Company customer executive should regularly go to market and take feedback from the retailers.

Company should improve the services of its cooler maintenance staff. Company should ensure that its distributors are distributing good in time. Company should provide proper training to distributor salesman. Company should ensure that retailers were getting various schemes and discount. Extra focus on monopoly outlets. Company should take quick action to solve retailers visi-cooler complains. Company should communicate its customer care number properly. Company should ensure its customer retention through effective trade promotion. Company should increase its manpower in Haldwani.

RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

This project is mainly divided into two parts.

PART FIRST: EVERY RETALIER SURVEY

In the first part I did EDS (every dealer survey) in which I visited all the routes with the distributor vehicles where the distributor supplies the product. I make a record of which company visi-cooler the retailer has, which company visi-cooler are more pure and pure and charge Pepsi visi-cooler. I also make a record of which company stocks (empty) is more in each outlet.

PART SECOND: FIND OUT WAYS OF INCREASING SALES AND DISTRIBUTION OF COMPANY IN HALDWANI

Any company can improve its sales and distribution by doing two things

First: By finding gaps in sales and distribution and filling these gaps.

Second: By finding new market for its product.

So I tried to find the gaps in sales and distribution of PepsiCo in Haldwani for this my first part of the project help me a lot after observing company sales and distribution I have prepared a questionnaire and did the retailer survey. I also find some untapped market in Haldwani were company have an opportunity to sale its product.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Preparation of questionnaire.

Getting the time of company T.D.M. and C.E.

Getting the time of retailers.

Getting the correct information.

Less cooperation of retailers.

Lack of information about company like which scheme is there in the market, what is the process of OYA scheme etc.

I tried to cover whole Haldwani but it was difficult as some outlets were 50-60 km away.

Data collected is on conveniences basis. So the reliability may be doubted.

HISTORY OF PEPSICO

It was first introduced in North Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham who made a pharmacy which sold the drink which was known back then as "Brad's Drink", and was later named Pepsi Cola possibly due the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.

In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1926, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1929, the logo was changed again. In 1929, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield endorsed Pepsi-Cola in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race".

In 1931, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt during the Great Depression-in large part due to financial losses incurred by speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar prices as a result of World War I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel bought the Pepsi trademark. Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again. Pepsi's assets were then purchased by Charles Guth; the President of Loft Inc. Loft was a candy manufacturer with retail stores that contained soda fountains. He sought to replace Coco-Cola at his stores' fountains after Coke refused to give him a discount on syrup. Guth then had Loft's chemists reformulate the Pepsi-Cola syrup formula.

RISE

During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the introduction in 1936 of a 12- ounce bottle. Initially priced at 10 cents, sales were slow, but when the price was slashed to five cents, sales increased substantially. With a radio advertising campaign featuring the jingle "Pepsi cola the spot / Twelve full ounces, that's a lot / Twice as much for a nickel, too / Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you," arranged in such a way that the jingle never ends. Pepsi encouraged price-watching consumers to switch, obliquely referring to the Coca-Cola standard of six ounces per bottle for the price of five cents (a nickel), instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the same price. From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's profits doubled.

ROUTE VISITS

I visited the routes with the distributor vehicles where the distributor supplies the product.

I observed the display of PepsiCo product in all route and each type of outlets.

Every morning I went to one corresponding route and observed all the techniques of selling product to the retailers by salesman.

I visited the following routes:

NAINITAL ROAD KATHGODAM ROAD KALADUNGAI ROAD RAMPUR ROAD MANGAL PARAO RAILWAY BAZAR ROADWAYS STATION NABBAI ROAD MUKHANI BARELLY ROAD AWAS VIKAS & SHUBHASH NAGAR

EVERY DEALER OR RETAILER SURVEY

1) Find out which company visi-cooler is there in outlets and its size.2) How many bottles are there in the visi-cooler and racks?3) I charge and pure PepsiCo visi-cooler and racks.4) I also check which company stock is more in the outlets?5) I tried to find out retailer problems and with the help of company C.E tired to solve it.6) I also check whether retailers were getting the sales promotion schemes and discount or

not.7) I enroll some retailers in company new sales promotion schemes in the last month of my

summer project.

5) Untimely distribution of product in few routes.

6) Find so many OYA, VISI-COOLER, D-FRIGDE of the company in different area which show that company has good market coverage but there is some area like BOLCK, FATEHPUR, DAMUADHUGA, KATHAGIRIA etc where company has an opportunity to enhance its business.

Page 30: pepsi co

CONCLUSION

Pepsi has more number of visi-cooler in the market.

Most of the retailers were selling both Pepsi and Coco-cola product.

There are certain gaps in company sales and distribution in Haldwani which are as follows:

Company product availability is average.

Relationship of salesman with the retailers was very formal instead of close relationship.

No merchandising by salesman in outlets.

Untimely distribution of product in certain routes like Rampur Road.

Lack of communication between company and retailers.

Level of service is not good.

Services of cooler maintenance staff are not satisfactory.

There is good opportunity for the company to introduce Tele-selling and Pre-selling in Haldwani.

Coco-cola visi-coolers are more pure as compare to Pepsi or any other company. Because they have more manpower as compare to Pepsi.

IILM GURGAON

Page 31: pepsi co

RECOMMENDATON AND SUGGESTION

1) Company should improve its market in KATHGODAM, RAILWAY- BAZAR, NAWABBI ROAD, and MUKHANI.

2) There are some untapped market like BLOCK AREA, , FATEPUR, DAMUADHUGA,

3) Company should ensure its product availability in the market and on self by accurately demand forecasting. Because product availability builds brand and store loyalty, which increase RIM selling.

4) Company should maintain close relationship with the retailers by improved downward communication. This can be done by visiting outlets regularly by company C.E.

5) Company C.E must visit different route on weekly basis and take proper feedback from the retailers and solve their service related problem.

6) The sales executive should try to avoid making false commitment for realizing short term goals.

7) Shortage of manpower in Haldwani. Haldwani is big market and company has only one employee which is not sufficient. Company should keep at least two employee in Haldwani or make an RSPM in this area.

8) Company should take quick action to solve retailer’s services related problems like visi-cooler complain .Because in this competitive world if we don’t take care of our customer quickly someone else will.

(If we keep our customer happy……..they will keep us in the business)

9) Company should properly communicate company customer care number to the retailer because most of the retailers don’t know whom to contact when there is any problem in company visi-cooler.

10) Company should do proper external communication as most of the retailers were complaining that they don’t know which scheme is there in the market, What is the process of applying OYA fridge and other facilities.

Company should ensure that the distributor’s salesmen are providing regular schemes to the retailer when it is there by surprise checks or visits.

11) Company should provide proper and regular training to the distributor salesman at least twice in a year because they are the one who are representing the company in this market.

IILM GURGAON

33

Page 32: pepsi co

12) Company should provide some incentive as motivation to the distributor salesman on the following basis:

a) Sales volume: whose sales volume is more?

b) Number of new account open: Those who open more new accounts.

c) Visi- cooler purity and charging: salesman whose route visi-cooler were more pure and charge with company product.

13) Company can outsource two – three employees during season time in Haldwani to ensure the visibility of company product. Who should pure company visi-cooler and charge it with company product. They can also work as pre-seller.

14) In order to motivate retailer to keep company visi-cooler pure. Company can provide some motivation like gifts, discount or schemes to retailer keeping pure visi-cooler this can be done on monthly basis.

15) Company should increase customer retention through effective trade promotion.

16) Extra focus on monopoly outlets because these outlet sell only Pepsi product and give good sales to the company. Company should give extra benefits, discount and other gifts to these shops and tries to keep them happy and make long relationship.

17) Company should open its own showroom or outlet in the city during season time on rent it will do two things first it will do marketing for the company and second it will also be used as an office where retailer can directly complain their problem.

18) Multiple distribution channels like ready stock, Tele-sales, pre-selling. Currently in Haldwani there is only ready stock company should introduce Tele-sales, and pre-selling to improve margins.

19) Company can ask the distributor to tie up with the Banquet halls or marriage halls. So they purchase only company product in any event held in their place.

20) Company can make a small distributor or sub- distributor for small areas where it is difficult for the company other distributor to distribute company product.

21) Company can use board displaying location and their distance from the road should be used having PEPSI written on them.
