INTRODUCTION

The pharmacy of Caleb Bradham, with a Pepsi dispenser, as portrayed in a New Bern exhibition in the Historical Museum of Bern. Pepsi was first introduced as "Brad's Drink" in New Bern, North Carolina, in 1883 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his pharmacy where the drink was sold. It was later named Pepsi Cola, possibly due to the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe.[1] Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.[2] In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore to 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 1909, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield was the first celebrity to endorse Pepsi-Cola, describing it as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race." The advertising theme "Delicious and Healthful" was then used over the next two decades.[3] In 1926, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1929, the logo was changed again. In 1931, at the depth of the Great Depression, the Pepsi-Cola Company speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar prices as a result of World War I. Assets were entered bankruptcy - in large part due to financial losses incurred by sold and Roy C. Megargel bought the Pepsi trademark.[4] Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again.

Market segmentation
Market segmentation is the process of dividing markets comprising the heterogeneous needs of many consumers into segments comprising the homogeneous needs of smaller groups (Guille M). Segmentation is usually done by demography, geography and socioecto segment consumer market is to use demographic variables such as age, gender and education level. Organizations that operate globally usually segment consumer market geographically. Besides, socioeconomic variables are to segment the market regarding the income, social class and also lifestyle (Guilleonomic variables.

Demography: Pepsi targets the young people since before until now because most of the teenagers Psychographics: The pepsi campaign attempts to capture the youth of today by focusing on their personality,lifestyle and attitude of youth through the advertisement.

Pepsis target market

Pepsi has aimed itself at a young audience with an age range of teens to mid twenties. With regards to their U.S website, which is ranked the 4th most visited in food consumer products, you can clearly see that from its layout, use of colours and wording that Pepsi is bright, funky and fresh; aimed at forward thinking young men and women. In poor contrast the Pepsi UK website focuses mainly on football and is centred on the Pepsi Max brand. This brand has generally been seen as male due to its colour schemes and also previous advertising campaigns based on high adrenaline sports. Therefore Pepsi Max is less appealing to women and so it the Pepsi UK website. The Pepsi adverts can be seen as targeting a potentially narrow demographic. Most Pepsi adverts today consist of high profile football players advertising their brand.

Pepsi Marketing Mix

While analysing a company's product, a common fallacy can be focusing on the final outlook of the product and that gives rise to a nave approach. Analysts should consider and analyse all major product decisions that the company may have carried out including quality, features, options, style, brand name, packaging, sizes, after-sales services, warranties, returns, etc. Moreover, the company's position, as well as marketing strategy in the market, can be judged on the basis of its product mix including width, length, depth and consistency (Proctor, 200). Width is the number of lines the firm carries, for example Sony has various lines including TV, video, cameras and laptops. Length is the number of items in the product mix, for example Toshibahas different types of TVs and laptops. Depth is the number of variants of each product offered in the line such as clock radios, car radios and pocket radios. Finally, consistency is how closely related the various product lines are in terms of the use to which
they are put, more commonly including electrical and entertainment products. So, using these bases for product strategy classification will lead to easy and effective analysis. Finally, one should attempt to identify what the company is actually aiming at through its product. There can be three possible product strategies in a company's action (Proctor, 2000). Either it aims the product at the market such as Erickson with new mobile phones to cater for the business class; it can be given a "face lift" such as Marks & Spencer's attempt with more customer-specific products; and it can be withdrawn, discontinued or eliminated such as Marks & Spencer closing down its unprofitable units across the globe. To write a valuable pricing analysis of a company, the key is to correlate its pricing strategy with its product position in the market. The company may use various pricing strategies such as penetration, skimming, competition-based pricing, psychological pricing,...

1. Product:
In marketing, a product is an ything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need. It is of two t ypes: Tangible (ph ysical) and Intangible (non ph ysical). Since services have been at the forefront of all modern marketing strategies, some intangibility has become essential part of marketing offers. It is therefore the complete bundle of benefits or satisfactions that bu yers perceive the y will obtain if the y purchase the product. It is the sum of all ph ysical, ps ychological, symbolic, and service attributes, not just the ph ysical merchandise. All products offered in a market can be placed between Tangible (Pure Product) and Intangible (Pure Service) spectrum.

PEPSI-PRODUCT:

2.PRICE:
IN economics an business,the price is the assigned numerical monetary value of good,services or assets.price is also central to marketing where it is one of the 4th variable in marketing mix. Pricing is a big part of marketing mix. Choosing the right price and the right pricing strategy is crucial to the marketing process. The price of the product is not some thing that is fixed.on the other hand price of the product depends on many other factors.the price may act as a way to attract target customers.

PEPSI-PRICE:
PEPSI desides it price on the basis of competition .the best thing about the company pepsi is that it is very flexible and it can come down with the price very quickly. The company is renowned to bring the price down even up to half if needed.but this risk taking attitude has also earned pepsi losses.though lowering the price would attract the customers but it would not help them cover up the cost incurred in production hence causing them losses. This was the situation earlier but now pepsi is fullfledged and growing company.it has covered all its losses and is now growing at the rapid rate.

3.PLACE:
Place is a term that has a variety of meanings in a dictionary sense, but which is principally used in a geographic sense as a noun to denote location, though in a sense of a location identified with that which is located there. In marketing, place refers to one of the 4 P's, defined as "the market place". It can mean a geographic location, an industry, a group of people (a segment) to whom a company wants to sell its products or services, such as young professional women (e.g. for selling cosmetics) or middle-aged family men (e.g. for selling family cars)

PEPSI-PLACE:
Pepsi has spread all over worldwide.pepsi when entering a new market does not go in alonebut it looks for partners and mergers.till now pepsi has collaborated with company like quaker oats,frito lays,lipton,starbucks.etc. Pepsi like coke has spread all over the world .it is because of this worldwide spread now it is coming up with advertisements which can be broadcasted in the different nation in the world.the recent example would be the pepsi advertisement having david beckham as it brand ambassador.

4. PROMOTION : Promotion is one of the four aspects of marketin g. Promotion comprises four subcategories: 1. Advertising 2. Personal selling 3. Sales promotion 4. Publicity and public relations The specification of these four variables creates a promotional mix or promotional plan. A promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the four subcategories, and how much money to budget for each. A promotional plan can have a wide range of objectives, including: sales increases, new product acceptance, creation of brand equity, positioning, competitive retaliations, or creation of a corporate image. PEPSI-PROMOTION: PEPSI is very famous for their promotion.pepsi first started with the blind taste tests known as the pepsi challenge.at malls, shoping centers and other public location ,a pepsi representatives set up a table with two blank cup,1 containig pepsi an 1 with coke.shoppers are encouraged to taste both the colas an then select which drinks they prefers.then if pepsi is reveled the shoppers are given a small price.the implication is that pepsi taste better then coke.
