INTRODUCTION OF STUDY
Management is a course which teaches the student to get the work
done properly from different available resource viz, man, machine,
Material, money, etc. So that there can be a satisfaction from the
Organization side and worker side who had a significant role in

achieving success. So for the fulfillment of the management
course, it gives emphasis to project report and student becomes
organized, learn how to plan in practical terms rather in terms of
theory only. A student tends to develop analytical and problem
solving skills, we necessarily becomes motivated and competitive.
In fact all the learning that goes on for the two years terms
becomes so much part of our thinking that we develop a well
rounded personality.
Soft drinks were started with the idea of quenching the thrust of the person
traveling. It was also felt that reliable pure water is not always available
everywhere. So people would depend on packed bottle and with the idea its
makers made these soft drinks available mostly at those places where water
was not available that is on highways and long distance trains.

Soft drink is a typical consumer product which is
generally purchased by consumer for preventing thirst
in summer and also for refreshment. Different type of
soft drinks is available in the market and more or less
the content of all soft drinks are identical. So the
market of soft drink is facing a high competition and
many companies are floating in the market with their
product. In such a situation different factors which
influence the people choice for soft drinks are e.g.
Taste, Quality, Image Easy availability of the product
cost and advertisement.

The two trading companies Pepsi and Coke have expended most of
their energies on widening consumption that is getting new drinks into the
field. This is reflected in the massive surge in distribution cover, which is now
expected to group to 8.5 lack outlets by the end of this year.

The contents of both brands (Pepsi and Coke) more or less same and
where two brands differ little from each other in taste or flavor marketers will
position against each other in terms of ontological differences.
A war of different image of reality than ensures. Ontology is that
branch of philosophy that asks what is real. Now the question is what is meant
by real in case of Cola wars. Real is that which is infinite and eternal. This is
not a definition proposed by religious leader and philosopher.
Coke claims that reality is to be found in the past. It is the real thing
because the formula for Coke is a timeless, mystery, secret like a law of
nature. Coke is appealing to the mystique of origin to the myth of the golden
age. This is the mythical timeless period before time began.
Coke's great marketing fiasco was new coke if Coke is the real
thing. It cannot change a product called new Coke suggested that either Coke
was not truly the real thing or that new Coke was an importer.

Catching on that new Coke had challenged that company basic
ontological appeal. Coke to the original formula calling it Coke Classic.
Pepsi on other hand claims the value not of the past but of the future
with its mystique of progress, science and technology the metaphysics of
progress began to be popular in the middle of the 19th century. Philosopher like
Hegel believed that reality the infinite and eternal is not to be found at the
beginning but at the end of time and history.
The market of soft drink in India has become very competitive. In

this competitive environment if a company wants to have edge over it must
have a good distribution strategy and better marketing service compare to its
rival.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

A project cum training is an essential part of MBA curriculum. This study was
conducted on “Sales Promotion and market research’’ in Vaishali for PEPSI
India.
On the following objectives survey was undertaken:-
1. To identify the organizational features of Pepsi.
2. To identify the company position in soft drink market.
3. To find out the promotional activities of competitors.

IMPORTANCE AND RELEVENCE OF THE STUDY

This Six Weeks training in an organization for partial fulfillment of MBA
Program, which is very much important for a student of MBA. This business
Administration course is not answer of all problems, which arise in practical
field. There are no certain formula for any particular problem but the aim of
this study is to develop the ability of decision-making. Right decision at right
time it self helps an organization to run smoothly.
The training in any organization gives us an idea of different
marketing activities And main emphasis is given on “Sales promotion and
Market Research” aspect and also it is how business is taken tactfully
when any problem comes to an executive so the way of problem solving,
right decision making and knowledge of different types of advertisement
and marketing activities gave much importance to the study. Though only
Eight weeks it was not possible to understand it, so deeply but an overall
idea could be developed.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Methodology is the producer for conducting the research.
Research Methodology should be carefully planned as accuracy. reliability
and adequacy of result depend on the research methodology followed. It gives
the researcher a guideline by which he can decide , which techniques and
procedures will be applicable to a given problem. Moreover, it also helps in
the evaluation of the research by other also. So far he research to be
purposeful and effectives.
RESEARCH APPROACH:--
In the competitive market of Vaishali Research becomes
indispensable. During My summer training, I was assign to further
information about product’s Knowledge, role of dealer and the
competitors stand in the market.
As the time for the training is limited, the period of my project
is Restricted to 45 days. For collecting the relevant information, I used
survey method, interviewing dealers and retailers in a planned manner with
the help of questionnaire.
RESEARCH DESIGN:--
Research Design is the blue print to study any problem. It is a plan for

collection, analysis and interpretation of the data in a manner that is
relevant to the research purpose with economy in procedure.
The following are the different types of research design:--

• Exploratory Research Design.
• Descriptive Research Design.
• Diagnostic Research Design.
• Experimental Research Design.
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN
All marketing researcher project must start with exploratory
research. The major emphasis is laid on the discovery of ideas and
insights. The exploratory study is particularly helpful in breaking broad
and vague problems into smaller , more Precise, sub-problem statement
hopefully in the form of specific hypothesis.
In the nut shell, we can say that exploratory study is the helpful in
formulating Hypothesis for the further research. In general,
exploratory research is appropriate for any problem in which a very
little knowledge is available.
DATA SOURCE

All the data is collected from two sources:--
• Primary Sources and

• Secondary Sources
The source of Primary Data are as follows:--
• Personal interaction with the various executives of Pepsi Co.

• Discussion with academic and organization guides.
• Personal observation carried out at Pepsi co and gathering
information,
through structured questionnaire.
The source of Secondary Data are as follows:--
• Company profiles and journals.

• Companies marketing manuals and magazines.
• Pepsi Co news etc.
Sampling Plan:-
After defining the research approach and instrument I

design a sampling plan as follow:--
• Sample size: --- Retailer dealing with cold drink.

• Sample size:--- 300 (three hundred) retailers are interviewed
for the
• Purpose of research through questionnaire.
• Data Collection Tools:-
Due to illiteracy among the retailers I used schedule containing closed
and open ended question.
Stages Involved in the Study:-
(1) Collection of list of retailers.
(2) Division of retailer on the basis of channels.
(3) Collection of information through schedule.
(4) Analysis of whole information on channel basis.
(5) Draw the conclusion.
(6) Recommendation.

LIMITATION
Although all the efforts have been taken to make the results of survey accurate
as possible the survey suffers from following limitations.
(i) Shorted of time factor was not sufficient to cover the varies aspect
outlined in the study because the area of research was a very wide.
(ii) As no stipend has been given to me so it was very
difficult to conduct the survey a wide range.
(iii) Transcription error pertinent during the research work.
(iv) During survey I found some retailer refocused in answering first of
all because they had no interest in such sort of work that consumed
their time but after being convinced motivated by me the got ready
to give the answer.

next two decades.
Historical Events - 1920
1920
Pepsi appeals to consumers with "Drink Pepsi Cola. It will satisfy you."
The price of sugar on the New York Stock Exchange reaches 26 cents per

price drops to a catastrophic low of two cents per pound.

Carolina concern, Craven Holding Corporation, for $30,000.

Ounce" takes Pepsi into the energetic decade.
1953

instantly recognizable tag line, "Yahoo, Mountain Dew!"
1967

taste when chilled, "Taste that beats the others cold. Pepsi pours it on"
emphasizes Pepsi's product superiority. The campaign, while product-

oriented, adheres closely to the energetic, youthful lifestyle imagery
established in the initial Pepsi Generation campaign.
1969
"You've got a lot to live. Pepsi's got a lot to give" marks a shift in Pepsi

commercial classic.
1979
With the end of the '70s comes the end of a national malaise. Patriotism has
been restored by an exuberant celebration of the U.S. bicentennial, and
Americans are looking to the future with renewed optimism. "Catch that
Pepsi spirit!" catches the mood and the Pepsi Generation carries it forward
into the '80s.
1982
With all the evidence showing that Pepsi's taste is superior, the only question
remaining is how to add that message to Pepsi Generation advertising. The
answer? "Pepsi's got your taste for life!" a triumphant celebration of great
times and great taste.
1983
The soft drink market grows more competitive, but for Pepsi drinkers, the
battle is won. The time is right and so is their soft drink. It's got to be "Pepsi
Now!"

become "the most eagerly awaited advertising of all time."

Ritchie is the most remembered in the country, according to consumer
preference polls.

History Of Soft Drink in India
Introduction of soft drink in the name of Coca-Cola was first created inl886 in
U.S.A. Dr. John. S. Perferton perfected the formula for coca-cola.
The Parle came up by introducing Gold Spot in orange flavor. At that time it
was really a challenging task for Parle to position i.e. Gold Spot in the market
against Coca-Cola because people were habituated of using foreign brands. So
first of all it was launched in Bombay and free sampling was down in hotels,
restaurants, office and clubs to make the people aware about the taste and
quality because it was quite different from Coca-Cola in these two attributes.
After a tedious effort of about 20 years it succeeded in establishing its
separate identity. It increased its production unit upto 29 it was than Coca-
Cola that had only 23 production unit at that time.

Thus Coca-Cola was the first foreign brand introduced in India during 1965
and the first Indian branded Soft drink Gold Spot which was launched in the
later part of 1940's.
During the region of Janata Party in 1978, the Indian Government cancelled
the collaboration with USA Coca-Cola Company. So the Coca-Cola Company
decided to wind up its operation than bowing to Indian Government.
This was the factor accelerated the growth of several Indian company who had
aggressively competing with each other to capture the market share of the
Indian soft drinks market.
Now soft drinks entered into the market in tetra package i.e. Frooti, Jumpin
(Godrej) and they are started grasping the market share of soft drinks in the
absence of Coca-Cola giant.
M.N.C. globally known as P.CI. (Pepsi-Cola International) entered in the
Indian market with the name of P.F.L. (Pepsi Food Limited). Both Pepsi and

Parle was the main bottler in India. There was a cut throat competition
between them.
Now Coca-Cola has entered into the market again and has acquired Parle
Export Pvt. Ltd. Thus in India Coca-Cola has become the close competitor of
Pepsi Food Ltd. and they are fighting each other. With more than 3,000
employees and Plants (20 owned and franchised) Pepsi sells upwards 165
millions cases annually through 850,000 retail outlets across the country. It
has more than 30,5,000 visi-cooler in the market. It generated annual sales of
approximately Rs. 3000 crore.
Its advertisement budget is 70-75 crore and its advertising agency is
Hindustan Thompson Association (H.T.P.) one of the oldest advertising
agency of India Mumbai based. The head quarter of Pepsi is Atlanta.

MARKET SERVEY
Study of the products
Definition/ Derivation of Products:
Soft-drink is a typical consumer product which is generally purchased
by consumers for quenching thirst in summer and also for refreshment. If we
come across the market we find that different types of soft drinks are available
in the market and more or less the content of all soft drinks of similar flavor
are same. The market is floating in the market with their products in different
brand names. For example in Cola flavor Pepsi Co. has Pepsi while Coca-Cola
has Thumps-Up and Coke similarly Pepsi Co. has Mirinda in Orange Flavor,
7-Up in cloudy'
lemon, Mirinda etc. Similar is the case in case of Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola
has also a variety of products covering all flavors that are being covered by
Pepsi Co. Besides these two Mac’s there are also some local producers who
also supply to the market some of the products.

The manufacturing of soft drinks involves mainly two processes:-
(a) Preparation of CO2 changed liquid

(b) Preparation of bottle for filling.
Usually water form bore well is being treated for disinfection and
softened before it is used in the plant. The treated water is converted into
syrup by adding sugar, additions like essence and chemicals etc. This syrup is
first chilled and then bought into the carbonator where carbon-dioxide (CO2)
gas is charged. The carbonated syrup is then pressure filled into washed
bottles returned by customers/ retailers/ distributors after giving a wash by
caustic soda on a bottle washer machine and are inspected for their through
cleanliness. Filled bottles are then collected in crates and stored for dispatch to
selling network.
Lumbini Beverages Pvt. Ltd. has been distribution their products through the
area distributors. L.B.P.L. has the following product line:--

Name Flavors Colour
Pepsi Cola Burnt Sugar
Mirinda ( O ) Orange Sunset
Mirinda ( L ) Lemon Tetrazine

Slice Mango CloudyMango
7 Up Lime Non-Colour
Soda Soda Lemon+Non Color
Mountain Lime + Light Green
Dew Lemon
These products are the choice of the new generation.
Thus it can be said that it is a product for mass-consumptions.

Distribution Channel

A set of interdependent organization involved in the process of
making a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer
or business user.
For the economic systems point of view the role of marketing
intermediaries is to transform the assortment of products made by producer
into the assortment wanted by the consumer. Produces make narrow
assortment of products in small quantities in the distribution channel
intermediaries buy the large quantities of many producers break the down into
smaller quantities and broader assortment wanted by the consumer. Thus the
intermediaries play an important role in matching supply and demand.
A distribution channel moves goods from producer to consumers. It
overcomes the times place and possession gaps that separate goods and
service from those who would use them.
Number of Channels:

(a) Direct Marketing Channel: A marketing channel that has no
intermediaries level.
(b) Indirect Marketing Channel: A marketing channel that has one or
more intermediaries.

FINDINGS
During my servey period I have observed that:--
1. There are shopkeepers who are ready to sell the product but are not ready
to getting regular supply of the product.
2 .I also found that some retail outlets were opened during the survey period.
3 They complained that they were not provide with openers, ice boxes,
fridges, poster and banners of Pepsi while the competitors of the Pepsi
product have supplies these things.
4 I also noted that competitor are dominant in some areas due to their
prompt and regular supply.
5 Through out the survey it was clear that 94 of the shops suffered from the
shorted of products, leakage and distribution.
6 Some complained that the delivery van does not reach at their doorsteps in
narrow street.
7 Most of them wanted additional schemes and incentives.

They were keen to satisfy all my queries. I am very greatful for the help and
cooperation extended by them.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENTH:--
 PEPSI is enjoying lower market share as compared to Coke in

Vaishali market.
 Punch line in more effective then others.
 Effective slogans Ye Dil Mange More Aha, Yeh Pyass Hai
 Badi, Youngistan Ka Waw, etc.
 Employees are dedicated to the PEPSI.
 PEPSI 200ml increased the over all sales of PEPSI.
 Advertising of PEPSI is much more effective, aggressive and

 mind blowing then Coke.
 Lunch of new flavors like Mountain Dew, and Mirinda Lemon

successfully running in market.
 In the rural areas and outskirts of the city where there is

maximum population is illiterate, Pepsi is having an edge. (As
compared to Coca-Cola, pronouncing Pepsi is lot more easy reason
for more demand of the Pepsi and its brands.)
WEAKNESS:--
 The shape of the bottle of Coke is much more attractive then
 PEPSI.
 Writing style of Coke is more attractive then PEPSI.
 Retailers are getting more gift & scheme from Coke then
 PEPSI.
 Short supply of PEPSI products is routine of the day
 Carats is not well outlook in comparison to Coke.
OPPORTUNITIES

1. Demand is more than the production. (Because of the heat the demand of
the soft drink raised drastically which is the good opportunity for the
company a rival brands are also finding it difficult to complete the
demand. Therefore PepsiCo. Has to increase the production.)
2. In the rural areas PepsiCo’s distribution network is far stronger vis-à-vis

to any of the competitor. Therefore it is viable to make it stronger, as
this can restrict the entry of the other brands in the rural market.
3. Kids demand for the Mirinda more as compared to any other orange
flavor soft drink brand.
4. With the launch of slice tetra PepsiCo has entered in to one more
segment o soft drink beverages, which was more or less captured by the
“Frooti” till now.
THREATS:-
1. Not able to meet the market demand during the peak season. (As the
plant capacity is very low the company is not able to meet the existing
demand during the peak seasons).
2. Pepsi is not picking up the empty bottles of Coca-Cola on the other hand
Coca-Cola is exchanging the Pepsi’s empty bottles with the filled bottles
of Coca-Cola. (This is hitting the Pepsi in two ways, firstly our bottles

are getting tucked with the Coca-Cola and creating shortage of empty
bottles of Pepsi in the market, and secondly when our salesman goes to
distribute the re-filled bottles in the market, he tends to meet with the
lack of sales at the end of the day despite of the increasing demand
because wherever he goes he found the empty bottles of Coca-Cola
everywhere which he is asked not to picked up.
3. There is lot of complaints are coming up about the impurities or leakage

of gas or leakage of carbonated water. (Within the last 30 days I met
around 50 such complaints because of which retailers were very angry
with the company.
conclusion
In the earlier chapters of this report various aspects of Soft Drink Industries
with particulars reference to Lumbini Beverages Pvt. Ltd. organization
structure, advertisement and Sales Promotion have been studied. Present
chapter is a summarize the whole reports. From the data analysis and survey
conducted I reached at following Conclusion:
1. The introduction of soft drink was due to necessary of traveling
particularly in the absence of availability of reliable waters. But the

meaning quietly changed with changing in time. It has become so
popular commodity fashion and habit instead of requirement of
quenching thirst.
2. The first branded soft drink in India was Gold Spot established 49 years
ago. Then came Coca-Cola.
3. Pepsi has all flavors that are Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, Mountain Dew,
Mirinda Lemon, 7-up, Slice and its market share is less than Coke
product that is Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta and Thumps Up.
4. Pepsi has strong market in eatery shop. Most of sweet house and betel
shop have exclusive counter of Pepsi.
5. Although the visi-cooler, Glow-sign board and Glass strength provided
by are more than Coke but still there are number of retailer who are
either not having these or they have been provided by others.
6. As I have divided all the channels in four categories more sales comes
from eatery shop, betel shop and general store.

7. It should be checked that whether our product is reaching to the outlets
timely and regularly or not.
8. One of the major drawbacks of Pepsi product that all flavors do not
reach at the different agency of Patna but competitor has that is why
competitor enters into Pepsi exclusive counter.
9. Some retailer claim that Pepsi taste is not as good as earlier they also
point out there is duplicate Pepsi (duplication).
10. Most of retailer are in the need of board but not
Provided by Pepsi Company.
11. Improvement on bottle cleaners should be done
Because some rust was found on the bottle necks
and also some bees etc. found in the bottle after the
bottle tapes uncorked.

Suggestions
After making an indebt study of channel of distribution the investigator is now

in a position to offer this suggestion for consideration.
(1) We should go for intensive distribution that is stocking the product in

as many outlets as possible.
(2) It is normally seen that the consumer are not very rigid in selecting
the soft drinks whenever they feel thirsty, they just ask the
shopkeeper to provide them soft drinks which is available and chilled.
So a company should provide the chiller, more margin of sale than
Coke and sometime credit facility and healthy scheme.
(3) The distribution of fridges/cooling machines are very improper. Many

outlets with very poor sales have fridges/ cooling machine where as

the outlets that have high potential of sales don't have cooling
machine at all.
(4) The company should make more exclusive retail outlets as compared
to Coke.
(5) The scheme and policies should be well known to the retailer and the
scheme should be crystal clear to understand.
(6) There were complaint from distributor and retailers about the shortage
of supply and non-availability of products of Pepsi Company in peak
season mainly 7-Up. The default may be from company side or from
the retailer side. But the effect and impact distorts the image of the
Pepsi Company and it continuous in such a situation the company of
Pepsi may loss it’s existing and prospecting consumers.
(7) Distributors and retailer’s feedback have to be timely and regular.

These should be good step towards maintaining proper-co-ordination
with the channel of distribution since the agent will be fully satisfied.
(8) The Salesman of the distributor should be honest and polite to

increase the sales and to maintain a healthy retailer ship between the
distributor and retailer.

(9) Vendor should visit every outlet day irrespective of the reason
whether they will buy or they won't. The distributor should look into
this matter immediately.
(10) A regular meeting of all the distributors with the management should
be held. This is good thinking because by the participative style of
management.
