The history of cold drink begins with the end of last century. Its history dates back

to the civil was in USA in 1860. At that time people were suffering from many diseases.

Problem at that time was how to cure all diseases since no remedies were

present at that time; it was a big question for American.

On May 8, 1886 Atlanta druggist Dr. John Stith Pemberton (former Confederate

Officer) invented ³Coca-Cola´ syrup. It was mixed in a 30-gal. Brass kettle hung over a

backyard fire. It was marketed as a ³Brain and nerve tonic´ in drugstores Sales

averaged nine drinks per day.

Frank M. Pemberton¶s bookkeeper was the person who suggested the name

³Coca-Cola´, which was chosen because both words actually named tow ingredients

found in the syrup. Robinson also thought that two ³C´ s would look well in advertising.

The first year¶s gross sales were $50 and advertising costs were $73.96. The

original formula included extracts of the African cola nut and coca leaves both strong

stimulants ³Coca-Cola´ was one of thousands of exotic patent medicines sold in the

1800s that actually contained traces of cocaine.

One summer in 1886, a customer walked into a drug store complaining of a

headache and requested a bottle of ³Coca-Cola´ syrup, to Get instant relief, he asked

the ³Soda Jerk´ to mix up a glass on the spot. Rather than walk to the other end of the


counter in order to mix it with cold tap water the clerk suggested using soda water. The

man remarked it really tasted great and soon after ³Coca-Cola´ was in fizzy, carbonated

from.

³Coca-Cola´ was first sold for 5c a glass as a soda fountain drink at Jacob¶s

Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1888, As a Griggs Candle bought the company for Dr.

Pemberton. Later that same year, Dr. Pemberton died. By 1914, Candler had acquired

a fortune of some $50 million. Baseball hall of Famer Ty. Cobb, a Georgia native, was

another early investor in the company. In 1894, Joseph, A Biedenharn, owner of the

Biedenharn Candy Company in Vicksburg, Mississippi, first bottled ³Coca-Cola´

By 1903, the use of cocaine was controversial and ³Coca-Cola´ decided to use

only ³spen coca leaves´. It also stopped advertising ³Coca-Cola´ as a cure for

headaches and other ills.

In 1929, after death, Griggs Candler¶s Family sold the interest in ³Coca-Cola´ to a

group of businessmen led by Ernest Woodruff for $25 million.

Woodruff was appointed president of ³Coca-Cola´ on April 28, 1923 and stayed

on the job until 1955.

The Coca-Cola Company is the largest manufacturer, distributor and Marketer of soft

drink concentrates and syrups in the world finished beverage products bearing the

before this they had introduced Cola Pepino, which was withdrawn in face of tough

competition from Coca-Cola.

to various Indian companies to show their caliber. At this time a new Parle products

introduced soft drink and Parle products introduced this and this was named thumps-up.

This was Coca-Cola drink, which had a burnt sugar colour.

This drink was introduced with a mighty saying ³happy day are here again´. As if

India following public disputes on share holding structure and imports permit, as per

Cola came back in the year 1993 after liberation and was launched at that time Parle

was the leader in the soft drink market and had more than 60% of that total share in the

soft drink. Coca-Cola joined hands with Parle and reentered India after 17 years, by

Research problem that has been assigned to me is ³Y ‘ ‘‘

 
‘ ‘  , which is the most needed step for expanding the market of coca-cola.

In this I visited to the owners of the outlets and I had to convince them to start the sale

of coca-cola¶s product in the market so that the company could increase its turnover.

By taking such a wonderful step coca-cola¶s folks not only wanted to increase

their turnover they also wanted to know the position of coca-cola in the market so that

they could take possible steps towards its growth because they think that the smallest of

action is always better than the boldest of intention and the main need of the research

was to bring coca-cola as the most active multinational company in the corporate world.

Gurgaon in Haryana. It governs the working of five zones covering whole India these

zones are: - Northern zone, Eastern zone, Western zone, Southern zone and Andhra

assigned to them. The areas are the various distribution centers called distributors and

C&F agents. Then comes the retailers/customer for the company's product, they receive

goods from distributors and C&F agents. Finally consumer is there, having the product

from the customer's shops or delivered to their home, it is more clearly visible through

speed at which Coca-Cola has widened its business is really amazing. Distribution

network is the biggest strength of the company.

oft drink business is built on two pillars - Brands and Distribution. We present

below comprehensive conceptual coverage of these and other key marketing concepts

1. Branding

2. Valuation of brands

3. Distribution

4. Marketing

6. Market segmentation and positioning

7. Advertising and promotions

A brand is name, term, sign, symbol or design or a combination of them which is

intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to

differentiate them from those of competitors'

A Trade mark is "a brand or a part of brand that is given legal protection because

it is capable of exclusive appropriation."

Manufacturers can use their own brands (known as Manufacturers' brands) or

brands of their distributors (Distributors' brands).

4‘
5G‘

Manufacturers/ distributors use brand names for a variety of reasons from simple

identification purposes to having legal protection for unique features of the products

from imitations and help consumers recognize certain quality parameters. In some

cases, brands are just used to endow the product with unique story and character which

itself can be a basis for product differentiation.

**
*A

 
‘ 
 ‘‘
‘ ‘‘  ‘ ‘

While brands can represent all types of goods or entities, they have special

importance for products. Brand equities are stronger in soft drink products as the

consumer is reluctant to try unknown brands/ unbranded products for the following

reasons

x These products individually account for a small part of household spending.

x Most of these products are for personal use.

x In many cases, it is difficult to differentiate a product on technical or functional

grounds and therefore the consumer is reluctant to switch to an unknown brand.

x Successful brands generate strong cash flows, which enable the owner of the

brand to reinvest a part of it in the form of aggressive advertisements/ promotions.

This reinforces the perceived superiority of a brand.

1;‘
‘
‘‘
 G‘

Soft drink companies spends enormous sums on building a brand equity by way

of:

0 advertisements/publicity

0 free samples -low entry price

0 promotions (schemes for dealers, consumers etc)

*A

Advertisement and promotion can induce trials but for sustained loyalty, the

manufacturer has to offer superior quality and value for money. Most successful brands

are founded on a chance discovery of a new product/ process or assiduous research

and development work. Major players invest in R&D on their existing brands and

improve the product quality continuously to maintain their edge over competitors.

+‘ . 2 - ‘/‘! ‘‘

Value of a brand is represented by the incremental cash flow resulting from a

product with a brand versus a product without a brand name or with weaker brand

name.

Brand valuation is a complex process and involves a lot of subjectivity. There are

no widely accepted techniques of brand valuation. There are several considerations

which cannot be standardized or quantified such as

x To pre-empt competition from taking over a brand

x ‡ Synergy with the company acquiring existing brands/ businesses

x ‡ Strategic entry into a new product category

x Prevent damage to existing brands. Many a times stiff competition results in price

cutting, aggressive promotions, lower margins for all the competing brands.

x Confidence in the acquirer of the brand to rejuvenate a languishing brand.


,‘ --!- ‘‘

Marketing or Distribution channel refers to the set of marketing intermediaries

which manufacturer's link together to reach their products to the ultimate consumers.

Depending on the product, nature of market and manufacturers' resources/strategy,

there can be one or more links between the manufacturer and consumer.

Manufacturer ± Retailers

Manufacturer - Wholesalers ± Retailers

Manufacturer - Stockists - Wholesalers - Retailers.

[ ‘‘‘ ‘

There are several benefits for a manufacturer particularly in case of consumer

goods to rely on these marketing intermediaries rather than develop one's own

distribution network.

x p         the basic marketing task by these intermediaries who

through their experience, specialization, knowledge of local conditions, contacts

and scale, offer services.

x Which manufacturers can scarcely do on their own.

x    most of these intermediaries in India are family owned outfits.

Their cost of operations and overheads are substantially lower.

x ÿ : Manufacturers can concentrate on their core activity and optimize return on

assets.

In India, there are over 5 million retail outlets dispersed all over the country. The

retailing industry provides employment to over 18mn people. 1 out of every 25 families

in India is engaged in the business of retailing. Ownership and management are

predominantly family controlled. However in sharp contrast to developed countries, unit

average size of a retail outlet in India is very small.

Organized retailing, however, has been a recent phenomenon and is relatively

undeveloped. There are no large super market chains/ shopping malls. Consumers are

unwilling to pay a premium for convenience shopping as their counterparts in the

western countries do. While small chain stores called Apna Bazaars and Sahakan

Bhandaars, which offer products at reasonable prices, have been fairly popular,

Department Stores and Food Stores are slowly gaining popularity. A large number of

corporates have recently ventured into retailing.

The retail outlet in India can be broadly categorized as follows:

0 Grocery stores

0 General purpose stores

0 Food stores

0 Pan bidi shops

0 Chemist/ drug stores

0 Cold chains

Under such strategy the B.B.L., Bareilly looks for ways to increase the market

share of its products in their market. Company always tries to encourage its customers

to buy and use more soft drinks in a satisfactory manner. This would make sense if,

most of its buyer are frequent buyers of soft drinks and could be sown the benefits of

using more soft drinks.

(i) First Company examine whether there are any potential user types in the

Low per capital consumption of Soft Drink in India may be linked to the inflated

prices of such drinks. But surprisingly in leaves a very low margin for bottlers also. With

a retail price ranging to Rs. 7 Rs. 10 per bottlers (300 ml) for consumer and Rs. 196 per

case (24 bottles) for retailers. A bottler must pay as such as 34% of the price per case

as Excise duty, Sales and turnover tax.

A further 10% goes into expenditure on local advertising and sales promotion.

Distribution and transportation cost takes care of another 10%.

Raw material costs, concentrates, Sugar, Citric Acid, Bottle caps etc. eat up

another 25%.

Production costs in terms of fuel, Power, Maintenance and labour up to 14%.

Thus leaving a bottler with a margin of 9%, again 4% of this would go into

overheads and interest charges, trimming down the margin to a skimpily 4-5% a bottling

operation, thus is viable only with large volume. (This is also one of the reasons of

FOBO being converted into COBO).

The consumer, obviously, shoulders most of the burden, Bottle cost are also

critical component of Soft Drink business.

Coke is positioning all of its beverages as all season¶s beverages rather than

only summer drinks, this will greatly help to increase consumption.


In summers Coca-Cola was coping with a change, CEO-Alex Born has replaced

David Short.

Coke has made India its home, Coke is experimenting with mobile dispensing

units at beaches and stadiums, going out towards consumers. ³Our goal is to have

Coke available within arm¶s reached of desire´ Nicholas once said (Retd. CEO).

While Pepsi wants people to come to them, Coke plans to go after consumer.

Coke¶s objective in the short run shall be to convert Pepsi drinks, rather than Thumps

Up drinkers to Coke.

³Promotion consists of those activities that are designed to bring a company¶s

goods or services to the favorable attention to customers´.

The promotional activities are concerned with:

a) Informing the people about product¶s distinctive want-satisfying characteristics

and its availability.

b) Reminding people periodically about the product and its role, and

c) Persuading the people prospective buyers that make people do what they might

not otherwise do that they do not really want to do.

characteristics in selecting them.

Advertising is the use of paid media by a seller to communicate persuasive

information about its products, service of organization. An advertising is a promotional

goal and generally used, by all business enterprises.

On the one hand, advertising can be used to build up a long term image for a

product (Coca-Cola ads.) land on the other to trigger quick sales (a sears ad for a

weakened sale). Advertising is an efficient way to reach numerous geographically

dispersed buyers at a low cost per exposure certain forms of advertising such as T.V.

advertising can require a large budget while other from such as newspaper advertising

can be done on small budget.

The questionnaire is the list of questions to be asked from the respondents.

It also contains a suitable space where the answers can be recorded.

The term questionnaire usually refers to a self- administrated process where

by the respondent himself reads the question and records his answers with out the

assistance of an interviewer. This is a narrow definition of questionnaire. While in my

study I asked the questions from the respondents and fill the questionnaire myself.

While preparing the questionnaire I thought to prepare a structured and non-

disguised questionnaire so that the objectives of the study could be clear to the

respondents.

‘ Most questionnaire studies made in marketing research are of this type they are
structured and non-disguised. In this type of questionnaire only structured questions are
taken into consideration so that the questions should be clear to the respondents.‘

Structured and non-disguised studies can be handled by telephone, mail or personal


interview. But I chose to take interview of the respondents so that I could also observe
the attitude of the respondents.

When research studies are taken in practical life, then for collecting the information

is also based on sample size. There are two important sources of collection of

information.

x Sample

x census

In case the data are collected from each member of the population of interest, it

is known as the census survey. If data are to be collected only from the some members

of the population then it is known as the sample survey. But in case of sample survey

for the accuracy of results the sample collected should represent the whole population

in the perfect manner. And survey method is an efficient method when the population is

very huge. But in my study I did census of the given population and the numbers of

respondents were more than 79.

‘ ‘‘ /
 ‘  5‘

sample size really depends on four factors-

x The number of groups and subgroups within the sample that will be analyzed.

x The value of the information in the study in general, and the accuracy require of

the results in particular.

x Cost of sample. Large sample size will require high cost.

x The variability of population.

1. The area of study is limited to the merchandising and route productivity aspects of the

system, while the marketing has other crucial areas too which were left uncharted

2. The study is limited to eastern region of coca cola which is a multinational company,

so the area plays as a constraint in the study.

3. The time period allotted for the study was only of two months, which may provide a

deceptive picture in comparison of the study based on long run.

4. The study was based on both primary and secondary data but the relevance of the

secondary data may not be justified.

5. The success of any survey depends upon the quality and integrity of the surveyor

who collect the basic data by expressing the subject under the study and on the

respondents who provides the data required by filling up the questionnaire .The

accuracy of the data collected solely depends upon the cooperation and truthfulness of

the person who is being interviewed.

6. Interaction skills as well as the behavior of the respondents also played as a

constraints during the research.

Findings are very essential these can often help us in performing at our best, expand

beyond our limits and achieve the things that would otherwise astonish us.

The topic horizontal expansion was assigned to me in whom I got a miraculous

opportunity to find the things regarding coca-cola¶s products but to expand the market of

any company is very anguish work. These are the certain steps taken by the company

which can make or mar the future of the company.

With the help of given project company¶s folks are also benefited because they

got to know lot of beneficial things and I am very pleased that they assured me that the

findings given by me will be taken into consideration seriously. There are certain

findings which are given below-

x Enlargement of market
x Sale of coca-cola¶s products in the market
x Most likely product
x Expedient business starting time
x Most gravitated chilling equipment
x Image of coca-cola in the market
x Company¶s sales per annum
x Availability of brands in market
x Complaints by outlets owners

·*

)=‘ 
5  ‘‘ : -

Enlargement of business was an important part of the study. In this part I got to

know that coca-cola¶s market is pervading with rapid growth. I found an important

point after getting responses from the customers that every year the business of

coca-cola is increasing with sufficient growth. I also got to know that many of the

owners of outlets were interesting in opening the sale of coca-cola in next season

because they told that the sale reaches on the culmination only in the summer

season. By getting such responses I found that the company must manufacture

more in summer so that the company can earn the maximum profit but I was also

puzzled to get to know that some of the owners were also interested in selling

coca-cola in winter but these kind of responses I found at only those places

where mostly population is educated. So I can suggest the company to

manufacture the products in winter also. Eventually I can state that the expansion

of coca-cola¶s business is up to the mark.

+=‘
‘‘
=
H‘ ‘‘
‘- during the project it

Was really important to get to know about the sale of coca-cola¶s

product in the market so that I could know the position of coca-cola in the market and as

well as market share of coca-cola. I got to know that most of the owners were interested

to sale the products of coca-cola in comparison to Pepsi. I got that owners were

·A
·‰

interested in selling the products of coca-cola because they were satisfied with the

quality of coca-cola¶s product. I also got to know that customers demand the coca-cola¶s

product that is why owners were interested in selling the products of coca-cola.

,=‘‘  ‘ : - there are several products which are being

manufactured by the company. But during the study I got responses from the customers

that there is one product of coca-cola which is most liked by the customers. That

product is thumps up. A thump up is the most likely product. So in my study I want to

suggest to the Company that company should consider the possible consequence that

why other products are not equally liked by the customers.

A=‘D  ‘ ‘


5‘ : - most of the owners of outlets wanted to

open the sale of cold drinks in the summer season because they thought to get high

sale in summer season only. I started my project in the month of June which is near

about last month of cold drinks sales season. That is why I got responses from the

owners of the outlets that they wanted to open the sale in next season. So the most

important finding is that the company should approach to the new outlets owners in the

beginning of the season. It means that the most appropriate months of approaching the

customers are march-April. If company takes possible steps towards the expansion of

business then company should approach to the customers in suggested months only so

that company can reach on the vertex without wandering here and there.

·‰
·£

5- ‘5
#
 ‘ 5‘ I : - there is some chilling equipment,

company is offering to the owners of the outlets. But after study I got to know that the

sale of chilling equipment is totally depending on the type of outlet. If any owner is doing

business on large scale then he needs defrizer if any one is doing business on medium

scale then he needs family fridge and some owners are also doing business on small

scale then they need ice box. Chilling equipment is basic need for the business of cold

drink but the important think is that most of the owners of the outlets want family fridge

because the family fridge takes small place to set. So I can state that the most

gravitated chilling equipment is family fridge. The cost of family fridge is in the market

worth rs.9000 while company is providing it only in rs. 6000. But after getting responses

from the customers I was astonished that some of the owners did not want to purchase

any kind of chilling equipment from the company because they wanted to use their own

family fridges which were being used in their families.

6- -
5 ‘‘
=
‘‘ ‘
: - to get more from business you need

put more efforts in the business, this is the simple concept adopted by the company.

They always follow it. After working for two months in the market I got to know that

coca-cola has wonderful image in the market in comparison to other cold drink

companies. After getting such miraculous responses from the customers regarding

coca-cola I got to know that coca-cola has also miraculous image in the market.

Because the owners of the outlets told me that the quality of coca-cola¶s products is

very good that is why they like coca-cola. I tried to get to know that why they like coca-

·£
··

cola then I found that quality is the most important factor in favor to the company. Some

owners told that they like coca-cola because of good services provided by the company

time and again while some outlets owners told that they like coca-cola because they get

good margin on the sale of coca-cola¶s products. Finally I found that overall image of

coca-cola is better in the market in comparison to other companies.

*=‘0
H‘
‘ ‘
: - when we got to know that company has good

image in the market then automatically it is clear that the sale of the company will also

be perfect in the market. During my study I got to know that in my area of study sale of

coca-cola¶s products was up to the marks. As I found that in my area of study the sale

was 5 to 6 lacks rs. Per annum. And I think that the sale of this much amount in only

one area is fine. But the important think is that the sale of coca-cola¶s products varies

product to the product. The sale of some products is more than other products.

8=‘ #

 ‘‘
‘‘
 - there are several brands which are being

sold by coca-cola in the market like coca-cola, thumps up, limca, sprite, fanta and

maaza etc. but the important think is that how many of brands are easily available in the

market. After study I got to know that among these brands few are easily available while

few are difficult to get for outlets owners. When I got responses from the owners then I

knew that limca and maaza are difficult to get. They told during communicatating with

··
·

me that they do not get these two brands from the distributors easily while there is a

huge demand for these brands also. While working on my topic I found company must

solve this problem as soon as possible because these kinds of things can make or mar

the market condition of any company. If company takes it into consideration frequently

then company must try to improve its distribution system. Finally I want to conclude that

that company should try to provide all the brands to the owners so that these two

brands can also be easily available to the customers.

(=‘0
‘‘ ‘; : - during working on the topic I got to know

that some customers were very hostile they were complaining about the company.

When I tried to get to know then I found that few owners of outlets were not satisfied

with services provided by the company. They were complaining about the distribution

system of the company. Distributors at different-different areas were not working up to

the mark. I found that the behavior distributors were not good and they do not deliver

goods to the outlets owners at the right time. Some owners were telling about the

schemes which were not being provided to the particular area. So there are certain

problems discussed above must be taken into consideration by the company as soon as

possible.

Suggestions and recommendations are very important for any company given by any

one because company can derive various benefits from the suggestions which are

suggested. During my study I got to know lot of things about the company. Like a coin

which has two faces every thing has two faces in the study I also got to know about

positive and negative faces of the company. There are various areas where company

has to improve for retaining the customers.

I got some points which have to be improved by the company¶s folks. These

points are given below-

1- low range of products

2- Distribution system.

3- Bad chilling equipment services.

4- Price discrimination in market

5- Low price of competitor¶s fridge.

6- False assurance.


c

)=‘2;‘
5 ‘‘ ‘ as we studied in our study that there are

several products which are being provided by the company to its customers. Like coca-

cola, thumps up, sprite, maaza, fanta and limca etc. but during my study I found that

there are some products which hare available in the market easily while some products

are not available easily to the outlet owners. These brands are specially fanta and

maaza. So I want to suggest to the company folk that they must provide al the brands to

the outlet owners in the perfect quantity so that the owners can provide these brands to

the final customers easily. For maintaining the supply of these products company must

produce these two brands in the perfect manner. Because these kind of things also

effect the goodwill and image of the company. So I want to suggest that as soon as

possible company¶s folks must remove this problem so that the customers of the

company can get any brand of the coca-cola at any time from any shop in the market.

The worse impact is that if the final consumers of the company do not get the products

of their own choice then they can switch off to the competitors and there will be worse

effect over the sell of the company. So this is the point of big concern which must be

taken into consideration as soon as possible.

c

+=‘ ‘ : - I think that distribution system pays a lot in every walk of

company¶s life. As I got to know during my study that there are several problems in the

distribution system of coca cola so I want to suggest some solutions but before giving

my solutions it¶s very important to get to know about the problems in the distribution

system. During my study when I met certain owners of outlets then I got to know that

they are facing several problems in their business because of bad distribution system.

As they told that they do not get their orders at the right time and they face loses

because of late delivery. And they also told when ever they go to the distributors with

their problems they do not get solution. I got to know that there is problem in the logistic

system of distributors some times outlets owners are also false assured by the

distributors. Through my personal experience I can judge that distributors of the

company do not take care of the

retailers and this thing affects the goodwill and image of the company. So the things

which are discussed above can be said the problems of the distribution system. Now I

come on my suggestion part, I want to suggest that company must remove this problem

the distribution system as soon as possible. For this company¶s folks must train the

distributors of the different-different localities that how to provide better services to the

retailers so that they can deliver goods to the customers at their needs and this thing

will help the company to improve its image.


,=‘!
‘ 5‘ I ‘ # s: - like the human body which can not live

without food same as the sale of cold drink is not possible without chilling equipments

perfectly. During my study I found that the services of chilling equipments are not up to

the marks. The owners of outlets order for the chilling equipment but they do not get it at

the right time with them. Some times it also happens that the small shopkeepers are

denied by the distributors for the supply of small chilling equipments like ice box. The

reason is that the distributors are not benefited too much from the sale of small chilling

equipments. I was also astonished to get to know that owners of out lets are false

assured regarding chilling equipments. They are told by the distributors that they will get

chilling equipments free of cost. When I met the owners of out lets then they complained

regarding this problem. So I want to suggest that company must take this problem into

consideration. This problem can also be removed by conducting some research in the

market. I want to recommend that if this problem will not be removed briskly than there

is a probability that the outlets owners who are selling coca-cola¶s products they can

switch off to the Pepsi.

4-   ‘ 
‘‘ ‘
: - the one of the most important

suggestions which I want to give is price discrimination in the market. During my study I

got to know that there is price discrimination in the market. Some outlets owners told

that are getting the goods at different-different prices; they also told that they are getting

the products at lower prices from the open market. It was very difficult to convince the


*

outlets owners for the sale of coca-cola¶s products at the actual prices which are

decided by the company because they are getting the same products from the market at

lower prices. So I want to suggest that this is the hazardous problem which is going on

in the market regarding coca-cola¶s products. I want to suggest to the folks of the

company to remove this price discrimination from the market. If this problem will be

running in the market continuously then it will affect the goodwill and image of the

company and it will be very difficult to expand the market of coca-cola. I want to give

advice that a research must be conducted so that the reasons can be found behind this

problem. As I got to know this the problem because of open market dealings in the

market. This can be removed by stopping such kind of dealings if any owner of outlet

want to purchase the products of coca-cola then he can purchase from the distributor of

the locality where the outlet is situated. If this thing will continue in the market then it

might harm the profitability of the company also. So it is very essential to solve this

problem and company can follow the suggestions given by me.

5- 2;‘  ‘‘  H‘ 5 : - I thought to suggest regarding this point

also because thing is also reducing the market of coca-cola. During my research I got to

know that the owners of outlets were complaining the higher price of the fridge given by

the company to the owners of the outlets. Because of this thing they were saying to

close the sale of coca-cola because were getting the fridge of Pepsi at lower price. So I

want to suggest to the company that it must reduce the prices of the chilling equipment

*
A

so the company can enhance its market power in the market of cold drink. I fond that

there is difference in the price of fridge of coca-cola and Pepsi. The price of family fridge

of coca-cola is Rs.6000 while the price of Pepsi¶s fridge is Rs.5000 only. That is the

reason that outlets owners were not interested in purchasing the fridge of coca-cola. It

will be beneficial for the sale of coca-cola to decrease the price of family fridge. If it

happens then the company can recover its part of profit from the increasing sale of the

products.

6- /
 ‘

  - I also want to give my suggestions regarding this problem.

While working in the market I found that the owners of the outlets were suffering from

the false assurance given by the distributors of the company. They assure falsely

regarding chilling equipments, regarding company¶s banners and boards of

advertisement etc. distributors assure falsely and tell to the owners of the outlets that

they will get chilling equipment free of cost but in reality it does not happen no owner

gets any chilling equipment free of cost. I was puzzled because some of the owners

were very hostile regarding this type of false assurances. Some distributors give false

assurance regarding banners and boards of the coca-cola free of cost but the owners of

the outlets do not get these types of banners until they continue their business minimum

for one year. So I want to suggest that this problem must be suggested as soon as

possible so that the goodwill of the company can be continued.

From this summer training and project titled  7‘1 ‘/‘-‘‘076‘

I have learned a lot about real practical work being done in the market I have also

watched & learned the practical applicability of the various things that we have studied

theoretically.

I observed on the basis of survey in Bareilly‘city that 0


=0
lay emphasis on

merchandising in order to become the ) brand in soft drink industry the report was

finds out the availability of different flavor and packs.

0
=0
adopt a good customer relationship management, it is focus on the,

segment of the product because each segment is affected by different sets of factor

which hamper or enhance sales. Each segment had its own Pros & Cons. So we have

to understand the various segment of soft drink industry that which flavor is existing

more in the market, Such as Thums-up strong brand of coke which is more popular in

young generation. I also observe about fate dealer, sub dealer, monopoly counter & its

marketing strategy. Such as fate dealer is influence wrong direction to the market. They

are supply product at high margin with low scheme.

As we know till now since ill soft drink industry the concept of brand loyalty is not in that

shape in which it is in countries. So company could take some steps to be to have a

good report with the retailers why supply them regularly and provide them with other

monetary benefit.
