EXECUTIVE SUMMARYEXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project analyzes the marketing mix in soft drink industries. It also analyzes the asset utilization in the market.

Through this project, I came to know as to how the marketing mix plays an important role in soft drink industries. Pepsi and its competitor Coca Cola adopted similar marketing mix strategy. Both of the soft drink companies have same product line and prices also quite match and the other tool of marketing mix Place.

Through this project I came to know. I also came to know various problem faced by shopkeepers with respect to non availability of glow sign board, crack bottles, chilling equipments and some other small problems.

During my survey shopkeepers were completing about non availability of promotional schemes with respect to its competition. On the basis of data analysis the market share of Pepsi come to 56% and its competitor Coca cola holds 44% % of market share. (NAND NAGRI).The basic difference in the percentage is due to taste and


preferences of the customer. The sale also depends on the owner of the shop. MOUNTAIN DEW and SLICE is the market king whose sale is max because it’s strong and great taste among youngsters.

Pepsi also launched a new orange juice based drink, which is known as TROPICANA TWISTER, this product is lying in introduction stage of its PLC (Product life cycle). It is a substitute of coke’s orange juice MINUTE.

I would like to suggest & request on behalf of the sellers that Company should provide boards, glow-sign board, counters and chilling equipments to maximum possible Shops. If Company considers this request the sale of not only shops but also the company’s sales will also increase.

I delivered some conclusions about certain important issues through my project report this could be of a great help to the Company. As we know that there is cut throat competition between Pepsi and Coke. Pepsi should give prompt response to suppress the sale of Coca-Cola by giving proper schemes and discount to retailers at right time at right place in right ways. This ultimately helps to increase the sale of Company.

HISTORY OF PEPSIHISTORY OF PEPSI

Pepsi-Cola was first made in New Bern, North Carolina in the United States in the early 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Brad ham. In 1898, “Brad’s drink” was changed to “Pepsi- Cola” and later trademarked on June 16, 1903. There are several theories on the origin of the word “PEPSI”.


The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following:

Caleb Brad ham bought the name “Pep Kola” from a local competitor and changed it to Pepsi-Cola.

“Pepsi-Cola” is an anagram for ‘Episcopal’ - a large church across the street from Brad ham’s drugstore. There is a plaque at the site of the original drugstore documenting this, though PepsiCo has denied this theory.

Another theory is that Caleb Brad ham and his customers simply thought the name sounded good or the fact that the drink had some kind of “pep” in it because it was a carbonated drink, they gave it the name “Pepsi”.

As Pepsi was initially intended to cure stomach pains, many believe Brad ham coined the name Pepsi from either the condition dyspepsia (stomach ache or indigestion) or the possible one-time use of pepsin root as an ingredient (often used to treat upset stomachs). It was made of carbonated water, gar, vanilla, rare oils, and kola nuts .Whether the original recipe included the enzyme Pepsi is disputed.

In 1903, Brad ham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a rented warehouse. That year, Brad ham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1905, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1898. In 1906, the logo was changed again. In 1909, automobile race pioneer Barney Old-field endorsed Pepsi-Cola in newspaper ads as “A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race”.

In 1929, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt - in large part due financial losses \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 Coca-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.

Pepsi-Cola is a soft drink commonly called Pepsi, which is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold worldwide in stores, restaurants and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s, by pharmacist Caleb Brad ham. The brand was trademarked on June16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the years, including Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi blue, Pepsi Gold, Pepsi Jazz and Pepsi Next.


Company profileCompany profile

PepsiCo engaged with various kind of operations .So some of them is being focused in this project such as:

The three main teams in the in the production and the distribution of the carbonated soft drinks are the concentrate producers, the bottlers and the retailers who are actually responsible for the sales of the product. The concentrate producers produce the concentrate and them sell it to the bottlers, who adds a sweetener to the carbonated water and then pack it in the bottles and cans. These bottlers can be either the Pepsi itself or the franchisees who work on the behalf of Pepsi. One half of the sale of the Pepsi is through the company owned bottlers (COBO) and other half of the sale is through the franchisees bottlers (FOBO). FOBO’s had the right to the product and then sells it in the defined territory and is not allowed to market the competitive brand. Then through the distribution channel the product reaches to the retailer who finally sells the product to the consumer. The principle retail outlets for the CSD are the supermarkets, convenience stores, fountain services and thousands of small outlets.

Purchase and consumption patternPurchase and consumption pattern

Industry research suggests that the purchase of the soft drink is unplanned, i.e. sometimes it is more and sometimes it is less depending on the demand in the market, the schemes that are provided to the retailers, the displays provided, and the incentives given and on the relationship of the salesman and the retailers. The sale of soft drinks is a seasonal affair. The sale increases tremendously during the summer season and falls down during the winter season. But we can say undoubtedly that the demand of Pepsi is round the year either big or small because it not only satiates the thirst but consuming Pepsi is also a fashion among the youngsters and a status symbol among them.

How Pepsi being manufactured?How Pepsi being manufactured?

WaterWater; the water is available through the municipal supplies or through the borings. This water is then treated by reverse osmosis process to obtain germ free water. The water is also treated with some


chemicals so that the water that is obtained is pure and ready for consumption. The water is also passed through the sand in order to filter it. This water thus obtained is soft and can be used for manufacturing process of the carbonated soft drinks. The same water is also used for washing of the used bottles.

Sugar syrup preparationSugar syrup preparation: : The next step is the preparation of the sugar syrup, which is further used to prepare the final concentrated syrup. In this the sugar is added to the germ free water and heated to about 85 degrees of temperature in a steam jacketed stainless steels tank of adequate capacity with an protester, so that the sugar gets well dissolved in the syrup. The solution is boiled for about 20 minutes so that the syrup gets bit thick. This also kills the germs present in the water; the syrup is then filtered through the filter press at a high speed so that further impurities can be removed from the syrup. Then this syrup is cooled to a definite temperature with the help of a S.S (stainless steel) Plant Heat Exchanger.

Processed syrup: In the preparation of the processed syrup, additional water is added to the raw syrup in the correct quantity along with some essence. The solution is mixed thoroughly with a protester provided in the S.S tank and allowed to mature according to the specified time limit. This time differs for each flavor.

Beverage preparation: In this step the ready syrup is passed through the intermix unit where more water is added to the syrup to prepare the final product. Now this beverage is chilled to a very low temperature and is pumped into the saturator carbonator. Carbonator is the stainless steel vessel consisting of a number of S.S film plates. This vessel is a pressure vessel where high pressure is maintained, so that the C02 gets well mixed with the cold water. The S.S plates forms a very thin film of the beverage on the plates. After this the beverage is filled in the glass bottles under high pressure, so that no air remains inside the bottles because this can spoil the soft drink.

Filling: Filling of the beverage in the bottles is done through the automatic counter pressure filters, which fills the bottles at a high speed, and the bottles are crowned with the caps automatically.

Cleaning of the bottles: Washer, which consists of the soaking compartments. These compartments contain caustic soda and a number of jets where soft and hot water is dispensed. Bottles, which come back from the markets, are washed with the help of bottle caustic soda solutions are used to clean the bottles. These cleaned bottles are then inspected before they go for refilling. They are passed


through the bottle conveyer process. Then they are passed through the Lim-Light inspection machine and then through the Mit-Mirror machine for finding out the cracks. After all these inspection the bottles are sent for refilling .The bottles are again checked and then packed in the group of 24.

Quality Control (QC): The success of any industry depends on the quality of the product it provides. Therefore quality measurements are done on each step in order to ensure that the product that finally reaches the consumer is fit for consuming. The packed bottles are checked for the gas content, sugar content, organic and for the microbiological quality. Here the quality invariable remains the constant because of the continuous on - line checking.

PepsiCo names first woman CEOCFO Indra Nooyi to succeed

Steve Reinemund, putting her among The leading women in

corporate America.

August 2006

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Soft drink and Snack Company PepsiCo Inc. announced Monday that chief financial officer Indra Nooyi will take

over from Chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund this October. She becomes the first woman to hold the post and enters the list of leading

women in corporate America.

Reinemund, who has seen PepsiCo (Charts) pass rival Coca-Cola (Charts) in terms of market capitalization in December for the first time

in its history, will remain as chairman of the company until his retirement.

Indian-born Nooyi, who was ranked No. 11 in Fortune's list of the most powerful

women in business, joined the company in 1994 and was named CFO in 2001.

Reinemund cited personal reasons for his decision to retire.

"My family is entitled to more time from me than the responsibilities and

obligations of continuing as PepsiCo's CEO requires and deserves," Reinemund said in a statement. "It was, in many respects, the toughest and easiest decision of my

life."

"Steve did a remarkable job in maintaining discipline and consistency at Pepsi over the last several years. Indra is

a super talent. No doubt, under her leadership, Pepsi will not miss a beat in

this transition," said John Sicher, editor of trade publication Beverage Digest.

Nooyi's current responsibilities will be divided between two PepsiCo veterans: Richard Goodman, who is CFO of PepsiCo International and

Hugh Johnston who is currently a senior vice president with the company.

She becomes the fifth CEO in PepsiCo's 41-year history. As CFO, analysts credited her with transforming the company's global strategy

at a time when both Coke and Pepsi face a challenging sales environment in their core domestic market for core carbonated soft

drinks as more health-conscious consumers buy more juices and water.

HOW PEPSI COLA ENTERED IN INDIAHOW PEPSI COLA ENTERED IN INDIA

Coca Cola the cola giant quit the Indian market in the year of 1977 due to some non-friendly FERA regulations, which were imposed in international companies due to a change of government at the center. The government was a strong follower of the swadeshi pattern and in that procedure Coca Cola was asked to dilute its equity of 42% in accordance with government policies. Coke was not interested in this proposal rather it decided to quit the Indian Market.


Pure drinks shifted from coke to Campa Cola, but the first drink to pop up in the Indian market after exit of Coke was Double Seven. At this time a new chapter of the Indian soft drink industry was unfolded. The time from 1977 to the early 80’s was a golden period for Pane Products that owned the famous brands of Thumps Up, Gold Spot (orange)and Limca. Thumps Up was leading the Indian market and was the most lovable drink of the Indian customers. The drinks from Parle products were quite famous amongst the Indian customers but they were also not utilizing the full market potential. At present times it sounds very odd that in a huge population of 600 million the total sale of the cold drinks was a thin 200 cases only.

PRODUCT POSITIONINGPRODUCT POSITIONING

Pepsi prefers to position itself as the beverage choice of “NEW GENERATION”, or just as the “PEPSI GENERATION”.

These terms adopted in Pepsi advertising campaigns are referring to the market that marketers refer to as GENERATION X. The Generation X consumer is profiled to be between the ages of 18 to 29. They have high expectations in life and are very mobile and active. They adopt a life style of living for today and not worrying about long-term goals. Though Pepsi’s main emphasis is on this segment but they also have a focus on the 12 to 18 year old market.

The rich deep blue coloring represents eternal youthfulness and openness. Marketing plan like “YEH DIL MAAGE MORE”, “GOT ANOTHER PEPSI”, “YEH PYASS HAI BADI” AND “YEH HAl YOUNGISTAN MERI JAAN” have made Pepsi one of the coolest brands recognized among teens in the top five and the only beverage product in this category.

SWOT ANALYSISSWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

Varun Beverages is franchise owned bottle operation (FOBO) of world’s most famous soft drinks giant PepsiCo.

Varun Beverages uses state of the art and fully automatic machines and technology for the production.

It has a very strong distribution network and well-built market and currently holds almost all the parts of the state.

WEAKNESS

Purity and quality of the products are estimated manually.

Promotional activities in the rural market are not up to the mark as compared to the urban market.

It’s one of the popular brands PEPSI in Cola flavor is lagging behind with its nearest competitor only due to high sugar content and less thrilling taste.

More emphasis is given to the large dealers.


PEPSI has only one cola flavor where as its competitor have Coke and Thumps Up.

OPPURTUNITIES

It should give more incentives to the dealers in the new areas, where there is a huge market potential

It should adopt automatic and computerized quality control system for its products.

More lucrative schemes to be launched regularly, specially during off seasons so as to attract more and more customers.

Apart from sponsor films, cricket and music it should also sponsor to different fashion shows, quizzes and debates in schools and colleges

The consumption rate is higher in Khichripur.

Company should think about the modern trade and find out the potential ones because the new generation have a high ratio of these modern trade.( like super markets, retail stores, malls)

Establish the vending machines around the metro stations, malls, railway stations, collages, cinema halls, etc.

THREATS

One of the products of their competitor in the Cola segment has a very good market share due to its taste.

Coca-Cola is now spending more and more to boost up the sale, so Varun Beverages should also have to go a head and think about it.


FIELD WORKFIELD WORK

Execution & Analysis of “EDS Program” - East Delhi

The EDS Program is a analytical program that was started for the purpose of analyzing the overall sales of Pepsi products.

My job was to visit all the retail outlets in East Delhi which were covered by EDS Program and check the level of awareness among the retailers about the cold drinks.

During the initial stage of the project, I came to know about the tricks of the trade through route riding. On visiting retailers on various routes, I realized how important a strong distribution channel was for a company to be able to retain its position as an industry leader. I used to visit all the retail outlets of a particular route each day and learnt how to negotiate with retailers, how to tackle the various problems related to visi-coolers, schemes, etc. Having done this, an overall market scenario of the distribution channel and methods became clear.

In the process of increasing the level of awareness about the schemes, I also tried to make the retailers understand how easy it is to sell cold drinks to the consumer and I also focused them about the new twister display scheme, and how to get benefited by adopting schemes. In this way I tried to motivate them to purchase more and


more of the various products. So both the company and the customer will able to increase his profits.

Pepsi provided format to all summer trainees.

I went to the outlets owner in my given areas and made filled format by self.

I had to visit only those outlets, where soft drink was being sold.

INFORMATION REQUIRED INFORMATION REQUIRED

The information that was required

Name of the shop.

Name of the shopkeepers. Addresses of the shops. Numbers of Glass bottles of all brands of Pepsi. Number of Glass bottles of warm stock of all brands of Pepsi and

Coke. Chilling equipments which the shopkeepers were using (PCI

means Pepsi or CCX means Coke and Own fridges). Status of the stock (PBI or CCX or MIX) available in the shop. Do you have SINE BOARD of Pepsi or Coke? Do you have PLASTIC RACK of Pepsi or Coke? Do you have GRAVITY RACK of Pepsi or Coke? Do you have AIR HANGER of Pepsi or Coke? Do you have WALL PAINTING of Pepsi or Coke? Do you have COUNTER TOP of Pepsi or Coke?

LIMITATION OF LIMITATION OF THE PROJECTTHE PROJECT

The limitation of the project was:

I had to cover the maximum number of outlets so it was a rather difficult task to give time to each and every outlet surveyed.


The outlet owners treated me as the employee of the company, and use to start telling me the various problems faced by them.

Sometimes the owners were not present on the spot for any clarifications.

Many of the shops were found closed during the day hours, which was also a big problem in meeting those outlet owners.

The sales man faces lot of problems.

The shopkeepers were not ready to answer the questions easily as they were not happy with the services given by Pepsi.

The transportation was not up to the mark.

The nature or behavior of outlet keepers was very harsh.

COMPARATIVE SITUATIONCOMPARATIVE SITUATION

No two companies are more similar or more different; Pepsi’s main competitor is coca-cola company. Both have been selling thirst quenchers (for 100 yr) that are now global brands. Their bottles move through the words pervasive distributor network.

Coke is mainly franchisee driven operation with the company supply its soft drink concentrate (secret position) to its bottle around the world.

Coke management realizes that a soft drinks convenient as well as expulse. Accordingly the companies’ expertise lies in consumer marketing.

Through product differentiation coke plans to reach out to the consumer by enhancing consumers accessibility to the product with larger, multi server packs (330m1 cans, 600ml and 1lt glass bottles and 2 It. pet bottles), all competitive priced coke, therefore plans to enter Indian homes.

Also coke will be experimenting with mobile dispensing units at beaches and stadiums’, going out towards consumers; the idea is to reduce the effort span as much as possible.

The problem environment was the existence of the other soft drinks, which were present in the market. The main problem was the company Coke because it has also many products in the market. Which are giving tough competition to the products of Pepsi.

The other main problem was the soft drinks of various other flavors, which are not the product of Pepsi or Coke. Like the fruit juices and other type of drinks like Rasna, Sunfill, Frooti, Real Juice etc.

FINDINGS ANDFINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONSOBSERVATIONS

Company holds good position in the market with its brand “MOUNTAIN DEW” & “SLICE”.

Goodwill of company is very good; customers prefer Pepsi brands much.

Some people have tendency to switch over other brands. Retailer’s complaint about non-availability of variety of flavor in

peak Seasons. MOUNTAIN DEW” & “SLICE” is demanded more than any

other flavor.

“THUMPS-UP” & “LIMCA” is more in demanded in comparison to other products of PEPSI.

Every one prefers his profit, so retailers always ask for schemes, so some times they sell competitor’s product due to schemes, to increase their profit.

Small retailer sells both Pepsi & Coke, which is available to them in time, so that mixed outlet are more in number.

The Route Agents were not found motivated. An old phrase in our course is that motivated people are more productive then productive people are more motivated. So motivation is an inevitable factor not in this segment but everywhere.

During my survey I came through an incidence where I found that an individual was trying to sell duplicate bottles of Pepsi at Deepak Agency, after which proper action was taken against that individuals.

During my survey I came through an incidence where I found that an individual was selling the Pepsi and Coca Cola soft drinks which came from the M.P. territory. This is directly loss of the distributor, which is related to concern area.


RECOMMANDATIONSRECOMMANDATIONS

Company should be given more and more scheme to the retailers as the Coke people is doing and benefits of scheme should be reachable to each retailer weather it is big or small.

Then selection process the sales man should be paid more attention because as they are the word of mouth for the company so they should be selected properly.

The company should also give schemes to the customers to increase their sales.

Schemes should be honestly distributed to each small and big outlet owners.

Product should be provided on time when demanded. If sales person make any kind of promise to the retailer’s and

shopkeeper. They must fulfill it. Gift or discount to be given if any outlet achieves its target given

by the company. Monopoly outlet should be created. Customer executive should visit the area regularly and sort out

the problem faced by the retailer or exclusive counters. I also suggest that company officials must conveying meeting

with distributors so as to listen to their grievances & suggestions to enhance the business of the company.

The company should provide proper channel for the redressed of problems faced by shopkeepers.

Company should sponsor important events like Game, hold shows, bring celebrities to increase sales.

Company should offer tour packages for customer with products on lottery basis.

There should be surprise check by the company to ensure whether a benefit of schemes provided by the company reaches to small retailer or not. And take corrective measures in case of default.

Shopkeeper’s feedback should be taken. Company should try to tap the youth under age group of 8 to 25,

basically students of school & college through their canteens, cinema ball, cyber café, and game parlor.

The company should introduce some scheme or policy for the route agents of the distributor. This will result in increase of sale


of the product, as agents will make more efforts to sell the product. This will also force route agents not to take leaves frequently dining season.

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS

On the basis of my study I have came to the following conclusions which can be illustrated as follows:


The Company should give bigger chilling equipments to the outlets because due to the shortage of storing they are unable to keep bigger stocks.

Exchanging of the chilling equipments should also be done. Lack of motivation was assessed in employees of the company

as well as salesman who are working under distributor. The company has not properly focused on chilling equipments,

Dealer Boards, Racks, Hangers, Paintings, Counter tops etc. “MOUNTAIN DEW” & “SLICE” is the market king. Maximum

people have preferred it to other brands. This survey shows that all types of shops want to get involved in

this soft drink business. Transportation vehicles must visit frequently. The soft drink market has great scope in future but it has to face

tough competition with fruit juice milk based product market.
