EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

Beverage Industry is one of the fast growing industries in India. It can be divided into two sec-
tions that i.e. carbonated & Non – carbonated. The carbonated drink for the classified into cola,
lemon, orange, mango & apple segments. Marketing includes all the activities like promotions,
distribution, advertising etc. To fulfill the all segment of the consumers marketing is also to con-
vert social needs into profitable opportunities.
The project is “Strategy for marketing through retail outlets”
PepsiCo are facing problems regarding product and display of the product in the premises of the
outlets so as the result the sale of the product has not been achieving the sales target set by the
company.
So this topic entire essential to theoretical knowledge & to inculcate the efficiency. It also re-
quirement for the company to improve their service and quality for achieving their ultimate goal
The topic has been given by the company to collect information about the current status given by
the company to the retailer for selling of every branch soft drink of PepsiCo.
The main objective of the research was to know the company’s position in the soft drink market
by doing brand display and trading schemes.
This study covers marketing through retail outlets. During my study I covered all the major areas
of the south – Goa. I surveyed around 100 retail outlets. This study covers all the majors dimen-
sions considered essential for proper sale and merchandising management. Some of them include
sales support trade schemes, profit schemes and looking after the proper re – imbursement on
trade scheme are very much essential step to be taking by PepsiCo. The retailer in the Goa seems
to be unhappy with the support material provided by the PepsiCo, which it has to look into Im-
mediately Company executives must try to build good relationship with the retailers by address-
ing their problems continuously.

1.1.5 Brand Name & Detail:-
PEPSI
Brand History
Pepsi is a hundred-year-old brand loved by over 200 million people worldwide. The
largest single selling soft drink brand in India, Pepsi is ubiquitous on just about every
social occasion.
 Youngistaan loves it. 200 million people worldwide love it. But what has made Pepsi the
single largest selling soft drink brand in India is actually a formula concocted a century
ago in a faraway continent.
 1886, the US. Caleb Bradman, a man with a plan formulated a blockbuster of a diges-
tive drink and decided to call it Brad’s drink. The potion was to become Pepsi Cola in
1898, and eventually, Pepsi in 1903.
 Since its inception, Pepsi has always been at the forefront of the beverage industry and
has come up with revolutionary concepts such as Diet Pepsi, 2l bottles, recyclable plas-
tic cola bottles and the enviable My Can.
Brand Advantage
 Pepsi has become a friend to youth and youth culture. Over generations, youngsters
have grown up with Pepsi and have shared an emotional connect with it unlike with any
other cola brand. Be it parties, hangouts with friends, or just another day at home, a day
is never complete without the fizz of Pepsi!
 Pepsi has always fuelled youth passions like cricket, Bollywood, music and now football.
Youth icons like MS Dhoni, RanbirKapoor, Didier Drogba, VirendarSehwag, Sachin
Tendulkar, Priyanka Chopra and DeepikaPadukone have endorsed Pepsi since its
launch in India.
 Pepsi Changed the Game during the 2011 cricket world cup by challenging convention,
celebrating the unorthodox and by becoming the official sponsor of everything that was
unofficial about the sport! Change the Game even as a thought has gained enormous
popularity and generated tremendous buzz.
 Taking the same theme forward in 2012, Pepsi changed the game yet again by taking
the lead in celebrating the exciting new platform of football. Having brought the biggest
international football stars and pitching them against the mighty Indian cricketers in a
classic faceoff for Pepsi – is something which only a brand like Pepsi can deliver.

7 UP
Brand History
7UP, the refreshing clear drink with a natural lemon and lime flavour was created in 1929. 7UP
was launched in India in 1990 and its international mascot Fido Dido was used for advertising in
1992 to position the brand as a cool drink for youngsters. Fido became an instant hit with his
trendy look, laid-back attitude and unconventional take on life. During the brand’s early years in
India, 7UP gained market leader status in the lemon lime category by being one of the first to be
nationally distributed besides being marketed as a healthier alternative to other soft drinks.
Brand Advantage
For the past two years, 7UP’s ambition as a brand has been to capture and own the lemon re-
freshment territory within the clear lime category. ‘Lemon’ has proven to be a clear and relevant
differentiator for the brand. Further, the emotional connect with the idea of upliftment through
refreshment has led to an impressive payoff for the brand.
After establishing itself as ‘The Lemon Drink’ in January 2009, 7UP has continued to build on
the theme of mood upliftment with its new tagline ‘Mood Ko Do Lemon Ka Lift’.

AQUAFINA
Brand History
Aquafina was first launched in the US in 1994. With its unique purification system and great
taste, Aquafina soon became the bestselling brand in the country.
In India, Aquafina’s journey began with its launch in Bombay in 1999 and it was rolled out na-
tionally by 2000. On the strength of its brand appeal and distribution, Aquafina has become one
of India’s leading brands of bottled water in a relatively short span of time.
Brand Advantage
Aquafina goes through a five step state-of-the-art purification process to give consumers pure
water and perfect taste.
Aquafina has been built through refreshing and sharp advertising. The ‘What a Body’ campaign
has helped the brand to drive premium, modern and youthful imagery in an otherwise undifferen-
tiated category.
Bottled across India in 19 plants, Aquafina is available across more than half a million outlets.
Catering to diverse consumer needs and occasions, it is available in various pack sizes like
300ml, 500ml, 1 ltr and 2 ltr bottles and in bulk water jars of 25 ltrs.
Aquafina is the face of PepsiCo’s water conservation initiatives and builds awareness about Pep-
sico’s efforts to replenish and restore the water table through its pack labels.

MIRINDA
2012 Brand Campaign
Mirinda has always stood for great bold taste that unleashes uninhibited fun. Taking the
promise forward, Mirinda launched two new exciting flavors- Orange Mango and Or-
ange Masala which appeal to the Indian palette. While Orange Mango is the perfect mix
of the sweet candy taste of mango flavor and the tanginess of original Mirinda Orange;
Orange Masala tickles the taste buds with a hint of fruit masala flavor added to Mirinda
Orange. The launch was supported by a robust 360-degree campaign including out-
door, online and a consumer engagement programme to bring alive the taste experi-
ence.
Brand History
Mirinda is an international soft drink brand from Spain that was launched in India in
1991. The irresistible taste of Mirinda was communicated through our 1996 ‘Mirinda
Men’ campaign, the 2000 ‘Taste Pe Atka, Mirindaaaa’ campaign and the ‘Taste Aisa-
Chaye Character FislaJaye’ campaign of 2003.
In 2008, the brand decided to up the ante and deliver a brand philosophy that would
resonate strongly with consumers. Consequently, Mirinda adopted a bold and vibrant
colour, great orangey taste and sparkling bubbles that encouraged one to be more care-
free, spontaneous and playful and occasionally give in to an impulse of uninhibited fun.
This was conveyed through the ‘PagalpantiBhiZarooriHai’ campaign with Asin in 2008.
In 2009, Mirinda established orange as the core of the brand with ‘Orange Dikha-
TohMooh Bola Mirindaaaa’.

SLICE
Brand History
Slice was launched in India in 1993 as a refreshing mango drink and quickly went on to
become a leading player in the category.
In 2008, Slice was relaunched with a winning product formulation that made consumers
fall in love with its taste. With new pack graphics and clutter-breaking advertising, Slice
has built a powerful appeal.
Brand Advantage
With the launch of the ‘Aamsutra’ campaign in 2008, its winning taste and appealing
pack graphics, Slice created a great deal of excitement in its category and celebrated
the indulgence in mangoes like no other brand had done before.
While other players have portrayed the mango as a simple and innocent fruit, Slice cel-
ebrates the sheer indulgence and sensuality involved in consuming a mango. The crea-
tive ‘Aamsutra’ idea communicates the experience of extreme sensuous pleasure
through the act of drinking Slice.
Slice was the first brand ever in the Juice and Juice Drinks category to sign on Bolly-
wood diva Katrina Kaif as the brand ambassador for Slice.
In 2009, Slice took the notion of indulgence to a whole new level with the launch of the
‘Slice Pure Pleasure Holidays’, giving its consumers a chance to win luxurious all-
expenses-paid holidays to dream European destinations like Paris, Vienna, Greece and
Venice.

1.2.4The Competitive Area among PepsiCo and Coke:
The soft drink market all over the world as been witnessing a neck-to-neck battle between the
two major players; Coca Cola and Pepsi since very beginning The thirst quenchers are trying
hard to have the major piece of the apple of overall carbonated soft drink market. Both the play-
ers are spending their energies in building capacity, infrastructure, promotional activities etc.

PepsiCo is facing the completion mainly by Coke. It has a competition for all its products by
Coke.
Both the competitors have distinct vision and priorities about the Indian soft drink market.
Through having so much difference and distances with one another, they both consider India as a
huge potential market as per the capita consumption hare in more 3 servings per year against in
International of 80. Throughout they are putting best efforts to woe Indian consumer who has to
work for 1.5 hours to buy a bottle cross over for both the athletes running for getting for No.1
position.
Coca-Cola is well set with its 53 bottling sites throughout the country giving it an edge over
competition by possessing a well built manufacturing and distribution set up on the other side of
picture, Pepsi, with two more year in India, has been able to set an image of winner this giants
are ready to turn every stone of opportunity with a mind set of long tenure this time.
Pepsi is quite aggressive in approach to Indian Consumer. They are desperately working in the

amount on visibility of its blue-red and white logo. They have been going with aggressive mar-
keting by putting Sachin Tendulkar and now Shahrukh Khan is there advertisement to endorses

STRENGTHS
1. Product diversity. PepsiCo has several hundreds of brands, which include: carbonated and
noncarbonated drinks, water, savory and whole grain-based snacks. Product diversification
strengthens PepsiCo because it doesn’t have to rely on few key products or seasonal sales and
isn’t significantly affected by changes in customer tastes.
2. Extensive distribution channel. PepsiCo products are served to more than 10 million stores per
week in more than 200 countries.
3. CSR. The firm recognizes its role in a society and engages in education, recycling, water us-
age reduction, obesity fighting and other projects throughPepsiCo Foundation, thus increasing its
brand awareness and customer loyalty.
4. Competency in mergers and acquisitions. The key to PepsiCo growth is its successful mergers
and acquisitions of beverage, bottling and snacks companies. PepsiCo acquired such brands as
Gatorade, Tropicana, Doritos, Quaker Oats and many others.
5. 22 brands earning more than $1 billion a year. The company doesn’t have to rely on one or
two of its product to bring most of the revenues. Instead, Pepsi has 22 brands that contribute sig-
nificantly to its income, serving different industries and satisfying various consumer tastes.
6. Successful marketing and advertising campaigns. More than $2 billion spent on advertising
over 2012 resulted in PepsiCo’s growing market share over its main competitors, including Coca
Cola Company, which spent even more on advertising.
7. Complementary product sales. In its annual financial report, PepsiCo revealed one of its stud-
ies results that about 30% of customers who buy its snacks also buy its beverages. PepsiCo’s de-
cision to diversify its product range is firm’s competitive advantage too.
8. Proactive and progressive. According to New York Times food industry writer Melanie Warn-
er, PepsiCo, by many critics, is considered to be most proactive and progressive food company.
WEAKNESSES
1. Overdependence on Wal-Mart. More than 13% of PepsiCo revenues come from Wal-Mart
store chain. Wal-Mart has a significant buyer power and can easily dictate prices over PepsiCo
leaving it with very small margins. In addition, if PepsiCo would lose Wal-Mart it would lose
13% of its revenue and competitive advantage.
2. Low pricing. PepsiCo usually prices its products lower than its competitors. Low price is asso-
ciated with low quality and PepsiCo products are usually perceived as ones.
3. Questionable practices. PepsiCo is using and selling tap water but places view of mountains
on its water bottle labels, thus deceiving people that it is mountain spring water when it is not.
PepsiCo has also been criticized for using water in India with higher than allowed amount of pes-
ticides in it.
4. Weak brand awareness. The Coca Cola has the largest share market of beverages in the world
and much stronger brand awareness than Pepsi, placing it at competitive disadvantage.
5. Too low net profit margin. PepsiCo’s net profit margin is 9.7% compared to Coca Cola’s
18.55% and Nestlé’s 11%.
OPPORTUNITIES

1. Growing beverages and snacks consumption in emerging markets. PepsiCo has made large
investments in BRIC countries to expand its market share as these countries represent the fastest
growing food and beverages markets in the world. If PepsiCo is successful it will increase its
revenues and global market share significantly. In addition, it will be able to rely less on US
market.
2. Increasing demand for healthy food and beverages. Due to many programs to fight obesity,
demand for healthy food and beverages has increased drastically. PepsiCo has an opportunity to
further expand its product range with beverages and snacks that have low amount of sugar and
calories.
3. Further expansion through acquisitions. So far, PepsiCo has been successful in acquiring other
companies and adding new growing brands to its portfolio.
4. Bottled water consumption growth. Consumption of bottled water is expected to grow both in
US (PepsiCo’s largest bottled water market) and the rest of the world.
5. Savory snacks consumption growth. The same opportunity PepsiCo has in growing its revenue
selling snacks as this market is also expected to grow.
THREATS
1. Changes in consumer tastes. Consumers around the world become more health conscious and
reduce their consumption of carbonated drinks, drinks that have large amounts of sugar, calories
and fat.
2. Water scarcity. Water is becoming scarcer around the world and increases in both cost and
criticism for PepsiCo over the large amounts of water used for production.
3. Decreasing gross profit margin. PepsiCo’s gross profit margin was decreasing over the past
few years and may continue to decrease due to higher water and other raw material costs.
4. Legal requirements to disclose negative information on product labels. Some researches show
that particular ingredients, consumed in extra large quantities, in some of PepsiCo products could
cause cancer. For this reason, many governments consider to pass legislation that requires dis-
closing such information on product labels. Products containing such information may be per-
ceived negatively and lose its customers.
5. Strong dollar. More than 50% of PepsiCo’s income is from outside US. Due to strong dollar
performance against other currencies PepsiCo’s income should fall.
6. Increased competition from Snyder’s. Snyder’s increase its US savory snacks market share by
1.6% and almost all of it was taken from PepsiCo.

CHAPTER-7
CONCLUSION

7.1 Conclusion
 PepsiCo is selling most of its products through eatery and convenience outlet; PepsiCo
should try its sales through the other format of outlet.
 As it is evident from the survey that only Pepsi and Mountain Dew are the highest selling
brands; PepsiCo must focus on increasing the sales of Mirinda by offering the retailer’s
handsome margin on it and by using more advertisement and promotion of this brand.
 The sales of PepsiCo are high during the month of April to June, the sale of the product
are comparatively low during the other season, therefore PepsiCo should come up with
the innovative promotional technique to increase the sales during the off season or to
maintain the uniform sale throughout the year.
 PepsiCo should provide attractive display scheme to the retailers to motivate them to sell
move PepsiCo products and promote it to the customer as their competitor are providing
handsome amount of money to their retailers for proper display.
 PepsiCo should maintain sufficient inventory of their product during the summer season
to their manufacturing plant.
 PepsiCo should take crucial step so that the Visi-Cooler given by them should be filled
with PepsiCo products as much as possible, not with their local brand or competitors.
 PepsiCo should encourage the retailers through innovative scheme and by arranging year-
ly contest between the retailers for display.
 The PepsiCo retailer should display the more crates within the premises of their shop so
that it would be visible to the customer and it will lead to generate more sales in the out-
let.
 The amount on advertisement could be reduced, if emphasis is given on the strategies to
have long term relationship with indirect channel partners who directly come in contact
with the end-users.
 The performance levels of the Visi Cooler provided by PepsiCo are of excellent quality.
 It is not just enough to devise attractive schemes for the retailers; the company should al-
so ensure that it is being implemented properly and retailers get what they promised off.
 As the findings of the market survey show that many retailers deal with both Pepsi and
Coke brands, PepsiCo has to keep in mind the stiff competition that there in the market
while devising marketing strategies

CHAPTER-8
SUGGESTIONS

8.1 Suggestions
 As it was found in the survey that in Fatorda, Boada, Benaulim the sale of Pepsi is very
less and customers are complaining about their irregular service, therefore these areas
should be more focused by keeping an eye on their distributors.
 They should increase another distribution channel in this area as the market is very huge
in this area.
 Some customers are also complaining that the distributors are not giving them regular
schemes, so the company should send a supervisor every after 6 months for the survey, to
maintain good relationship with the outlets and also to find out if there is any problem in
their service quality.
 Though it is not found during the study, PepsiCo can provide brand display scheme and
glow signboard in order to motivate them to sell and display more PepsiCo Product.
 The damage product should be replaced as soon as possible.
 The sign board should be provided to all retailers.
 Another brand of cola flavor should have strong taste and more fizz so as to attract the
customer who like thumps up more than pepsi.

CHAPTER-9
LIMITATION

9.1 Limitation of the study:
 Since the product under study was consumer goods, which require a large sample to have
a correct study, a sample size 100 respondents was too small for it. But time and money
did not allow researcher to have large sample and also to manage a sample would also be
difficult by researcher alone.
 Mostly stress is given to primary data it was difficult to collect secondary data from the
organization and distributors.
 Some of the respondents were not co-operative and many of them seem to be having no
interest.
 The study has not intended on a very large scale, have the possibility of errors, which
cannot be rule out.
 It is impossible to find out all the problem faced by PepsiCo in a span of one month.
 Area of collection was specified.
 It was extremely difficult to persuade retailer to respond to the questionnaire.
 The Company does not provide any financial assistance.
 The time allowed for the project was short it was impossible to study deeply in that peri-
od.
