INTRODUCTION PepsiCo, Inc. is currently one of the most successful consumer products company in the world with annual revenues exceeding $30 billion and has more than 480,000 employees. PepsiCo, Inc. began as a successor to a company incorporated in 1931, known as Loft Inc. Once known as Pepsi-Cola, the company expanded its business and adopted its current name, PepsiCo, after a merger with Frito-Lay in 1965. This merger dramatically increased PepsiCo's market potential and set the foundation for the company's tremendous growth. PepsiCo's products are recognized and are most respected all around the globe. Currently, PepsiCo divisions operate in three major US and international businesses: beverages, snack foods, and restaurants. In each of these businesses, PepsiCo has attained a leadership position as being the world leader in soft drink bottling g, the world largest snack chip producer, and the world largest franchised and company operated restaurant system. The corporations increasing success has been based on high standards of performance, marketing strategies, competitiveness, determination, commitment, and the personal and professional integrity of their people, products and business practices. PepsiCo's overall mission is to increase the value of our shareholders' investments through sales growth, investments and financial activities. PepsiCo believes their success depends upon the quality and value of their products by providing a safe, whole some, economically efficient and a healthy environment for their customers; and by providing a fair return to their investors while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.

Beverages

PepsiCo's beverage business was founded in 1898 by a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham who created a special beverage, a soft drink, in the back room of his drug store in New Bern, North Carolina. This new soft drink called "Brad's Drink" had a unique mixture of kola nut

extract, vanilla and rare oils. Caleb began to advertise his new creation with the theme "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion" and renamed it as "Pepsi-Cola." Caleb Bradham began his cola operation in 1902. The Pepsi Cola Company was headquartered in the back room of his drug store where he packaged the syrup for sale to other soda fountains. The business increased, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was officially registered with the US Patent Office. And as a result, Caleb Bradham began to franchise Pepsi-Cola to many independent investors. By the end of 1910, Pepsi-Cola was franchised in 24 states. Until World War I, Pepsi-Cola Company achieved 17 years of success and a new theme was introduced, "Drink Pepsi-Cola. It will satisfy you." However, after the war years, Caleb Bradham suffered bankruptcy. As a result, Pepsi-Cola became a subsidiary to Loft Incorporated, a large chain of candy stores and soda fountains. Today, Pepsi-Cola Company is a major division of PepsiCo's corporate structure. PepsiCola Company now produces and markets a wide range of beverages to retail, restaurants and food services in more than 191 countries and territories around the world and brings in a annual revenue of $23 billion. There are 200 plants in the US and Canada, as well as, 530 plants throughout the rest of the world, that produces Pepsi-Cola's beverages. Since the creation of Pepsi-Cola in 1898, Pepsi-Cola Company has introduced 13 beverages that wear the Pepsi-Cola trademark. Five of Pepsi-Cola's brand names: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7 UP, and Mirinda, each brings in annual revenue in consumer sales of $1 billion. In 1992, a partnership between Thomas J. Lipton and Pepsi was formed. This partnership produces, markets, and distributes Lipton Brew, Lipton Brisk and Lipton Fountain Ice-Tea. And in 1993, Pepsi Max a low calorie cola was created and introduced only for the international markets. Pepsi Max is now produced in over 40 countries and is the third largest-sellingcola brand outside the US. PepsiCo is continuing to expand and introduce new alternative beverages in the market. There are four alternative beverages that are currently being tested in our market today. Mazagran, a cold sparkling coffee based beverage, Aquafina, bottled water, and a low fat milk shake called Smooth Moos. The latest beverage was launched on May 22, 1996 in Philadelphia. Pepsi-Kona, a new cola, is a combination of the Pepsi-Cola flavor and the Kona blend of coffee. Snack foods PepsiCo's food business started in 1932 at the birth of both, the Frito-Lay Company, a producer of corn-chips and H.W. Lay Company, a producer of potato chips. In 1961, the Frito-Lay company merged with the H.W. Lay Company to form Frito-Lay, Inc. Today, Frito-Lay Inc., is a major division in PepsiCo's corporate structure. The Frito-Lay Inc., is the worlds number one snack food company in the US and in most of its 39 international markets. Frito-Lay manufactures, distributes and markets snacks all over the world. In 1995, Frito-Lay Company marketed more than 150 varieties of snack food products worldwide and representing over half of the sales of snack chips in the United States. Some of their products include: Lay's

and Ruffles brand potato chips, Doritos and Tostitos brand tortilla chips, Frito's brand corn chips, Cheetos brand cheese flavored snacks, Rold Gold brand pretzels, and a variety of dips and sal sas. Since 1990, in the United States alone, volume has grown 9 percent annually. In 1966, PepsiCo launched its international snack foods operations. Currently, Frito-Lay's snack products are available in 81 countries and territories outside North America. RESTAURANTS PepsiCo is the largest restaurant system in the world. The restaurant segment is engaged in the operation, development, franchising, and licensing of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC concepts. In 1977, Pizza Hut became a part of PepsiCo and is currently the leader among the pizza restaurant chain in the United States. Taco Bell, the largest Mexican-style restaurant in the United States, became a part of PepsiCo's restaurant system in 1978. (Today, Taco Bell operates in 4,800 restaurants in the US and in 94 countries and territories worldwide. In 1986, KFC joined PepsiCo and is the leading fast-food chicken restaurant in the US T here are more than 5,000 company operated, franchised, and licensed KFC restaurants in the US. PepsiCo's restaurants have a record for growth and have produced more than $5 billion in revenues. PepsiCo restaurant system has more than 8,000 units outside the US and is operated in more than 90 countries. PepsiCo's Food System (PFS) is the corporation's restaurant supply company and is responsible for the consolidation of manyrestaurant activities. PFS distributes to Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, more than $3 billion worth of restaurant equipment and supplies each year. However, in January of 1997, PepsiCo announced it would be splitting from its restaurant business after being in it for nearly two decades. PepsiCo is planning to concentrate on its faster growing Frito-Lay and Pepsi businesses. FINANCIAL INFORMATION PepsiCo was formed back in 1965 through a merger between Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito Lay, Inc. PepsiCo has enjoyed success in its earlier years, but of late, profits have been declining. Consider that net income fell from $1.990 billion in 1995 to $1.865 billion in 1996; this represents a 6% decrease. Internationally, Pepsi is facing even more problems, with an $846 million loss in 1996. Pepsi plans to address this problem with an aggressive marketing campaign described later. PepsiCo's stock, listed under the trading symbol PEP, is found on the New York Stock Exchange, which is its principal market, as well as on the Amsterdam, Midwest, Swiss, and Tokyo Stock Exchanges. Currently it has a market capitalization of $55.2 billion, with 1.53 billion shares outstanding, and approximately 207,000 shareholders. The stocks earning per share through the end of 1996 was $.75, which is down 25% from last year's earnings per share of $1.00 at the end of 1995 . As of July 18, 1997 the 52 week range for the stock has been from a low of $28 to a high of $39.50. Quarterly cash dividends have been paid since PepsiCo was

formed in 1965, and the dividends per share have increased for 24 consecutive years. Last year, 1996, PepsiCo paid an annual dividend of $.50, which represents a dividend yield of 1.39%.

The History Of Pepsi-Cola

1893--Caleb Bradham, a young pharmacist from New Bern, North Carolina, begins experimenting with many different soft drink concoctions; patrons and friends sample them at his drugstore soda fountain. 1898--One of Caleb's formulations, known as "Brad's Drink," a combination of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils and cola nuts, is renamed "Pepsi-Cola" on August 28, 1898. PepsiCola receives its frist logo. 1902--The instant popularity of this new drink leads Bradham to devote all of his energy to developing Pepsi-Cola into a full-fledged business. He applies for a trademark with the U.S. Patent Office, Washington D.C., and forms the first Pepsi-Cola Company. The first Pepsi-Cola newspaper advertisements appeared in the New Bern Weekly Journal. 1903--"Doc" Bradham moves the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a rented warehouse; he sells 7,968 gallons of syrup in the first year of operation. Pepsi's theme line is "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion." 1904--Bradham purchases a building in New Bern known as the "Bishop Factory" for $5,000 and moves all bottling and syrup operations to this location. Pepsi is sold in six-ounce bottles. Sales increase to 19,848 gallons. 1905--Pepsi-Cola's first bottling franchises are established in Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina. Pepsi receives its new logo, its first change since 1898.

1906--Pepsi gets another logo change, the third in eight years. The modified script logo is created with the slogan, "The Original Pure Food Drink." There are 15 U.S. Pepsi bottling plants. The Pepsi trademard is registered in Canada. Syrup sales rise to 38,605 gallons.

The federal government passes the Pure Food and Drug Act, banning substances such as arsenic, lead, barium, and uranium, from food and beverages. This forced many soft drink manufacturers, including Coca-Cola, to change their formulas. Pepsi-Cola, being free of any such impurities, claimed they already met federal requirements. 1907--Pepsi-Cola Company continues to expand; the company's bottling network grows to 40 franchises. Pepsi-Cola sells more than 100,000 gallons of syrup. Pepsi trademark is registered in Mexico. Syrup sales rise to 104,026 gallons. 1908--Pepsi-Cola becomes one of the first companies to modernize delivery from horse drawn carts to motor vehicles.

Roy C. Megargel, a Wall Street broker, buys the Pepsi trademark, business and good will from Craven Holding Corporation for $35,000, forming the Pepsi-Cola Corporation. 1928--After five continuous losing years, Megargel reorganizes his company as the National Pepsi-Cola Company, becoming the fourth parent company to own the Pepsi trademark. 1931--U.S. District Court for Eastern District Virginia declares the National Pepsi-Cola Company bankrupt, the second bankruptcy in Pepsi-Cola history. The Loft candy company acquires the National Pepsi-Cola Company. Charles G. Guth, president of Loft, assumes leadership of Pepsi and commands the reformulation of Pepsi-Cola syrup formula. 1933--By the end of the year, Guth's new Pepsi-Cola Company is insolvent. In a series of moves, he acquires Megargel's interest in the company, giving himself 91% ownership of Pepsi. 1934--A landmark year for Pepsi-Cola. The drink is a hit and to attract even more sales, the company begins selling its 12-ounce drink for five cents (the same cost as six ounces of competitive colas). The 12-ounce bottle debuts in Baltimore, where it is an instant success. The cost savings proves irresistible to Depression-worn Americans and sales skyrocket nationally.

Caleb Bradham, the founder of Pepsi-Cola and "Brad's Drink," dies at 66 (May 27th, 1867February 19th, 1934). 1935--Guth moves the entire Pepsi-Cola operation to Long Island City, New York, and sets up national territorial boundries for the Pepsi bottler franchise system. 1936--Pepsi grants 94 new U.S. franchises and year-end profits reach $2,100,000. 1938--Walter S.

In 1998, PepsiCo acquired Tropicana; and in 2001 acquired The Quaker Oats Company.

MARKETING STRATEGY Pepsi is known in the marketing world as a convenience product, one that is purchased without much consideration. So how is it decided which brand of soft-drink to buy? Annually, soft-drinks are a $5 billion business that is why the techniques for marketing and ensuring Pepsi's purchase are so important.

In response to last year's success of the Pepsi Stuff Campaign, on May 13, 1997 they unveiled "Pepsi Stuff '97." This is a promotion in which you buy Pepsi products, receive points on the boxes and cans, and then redeem them for items in their catalogue. Pepsi was very successful last year with this campaign, attracting over 30 million participants. One major problem though was 21 year old John Leonard taking serious a television commercial that jokingly offered a military jet as a prize for 1 billion Pepsi points. Pepsi points were also purchasable, so Leonard rounded up five investors to purchase enough points to acquire the jet. Pepsi is now involve in a legal battle over this matter, even though the Pentagon has stated it is not possible to buy one of the jets. Taking into account the controversy of the jet, Pepsi has taken consideration to offer prizes in "Pepsi Stuff '97" that are legally attainable. They include "Fantasy Stuff" prizes, such as throwing out the first pitch at a World Series game or feeding the ball to Shaquille O'neal for a $25,000 slam-dunk. Success in the soft-drink market also involves forming strategic alliances with companies to capture market share. Pepsi has secured two major deals this year, one with Warner Brother's International Theaters, and the other with Major League Baseball. The Warner Brother's alliance gives Pepsi exclusive pouring rights at all existing and projected Warner Brother's International Theaters. This includes 358 movie screens at 43 theaters in 6 countries, including: Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and Japan. The significance of this deal according to Vince Gennaro, President of the Fountain Beverage Division at Pepsi, "Nearly half on the world's movie fans are between the ages of 15 and 24. Together with Warner Brother's, we intent to inject a whole new dimension of excitement into their regular trip to the multiplex." Pepsi's five year deal with Major League Baseball gives them exclusive rights to use baseball's trademarks and team logos in al advertising, packaging, merchandising, and promotions. Pepsi has forged a reputation as appealing to the teenage audience, which is why Major League Baseball believes its deal with Pepsi will attract a younger audience, which was partially lost due to aggressive marketing campaigns by pro football and basketball, as well as the 1994 strike. "Project Blue" is an international venture the Pepsi hopes will transform its international marketplace presence. It represents a $500 million investment, including the system-wide conversion of bottles and cans, coolers and vending machines, as well as trucks and other transports. The new design features a striking blue "grid" background; bold vertical typography; and a three dimensional globe that evokes the company's "ball" icon. Currently Coca-Cola is associated with red, which is why Pepsi is attempting to create brand association and awareness with the color blue. According to John Swanhaus, Pepsi-Cola Company's Senior Vice President of International Sales and Marketing, "Blue is modern and cool, exciting and dynamic, and most importantly it's a color that powerfully communicates refreshment. Ultimately, we believe that owning blue will give us a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace. Pepsi, with their aggressive marketing, also engage in creative ventures. Three such cases include an innovative web site, the world's first commercial in space, and buying screensaver ad space in schools. The web site, called Pepsi World, combines breakthrough technology with powerful content. If features movie previews, origin al interactive games, first-run articles, new music, digital art, national Net-Promotions and more. This site allows Pepsi to aggressively

market their brand name in a revolutionary way. The site is constantly being re-invented to remain at the forefront of the Cyberculture. Pepsi is also breaking ground by filming the world's first commercial in space. It is part of Pepsi's partnership with the Russian Mir Space Station. For the ad, two cosmonauts film the deployment of a large-scale replica of Pepsi's new blue can, which was described in the "Project Blue" section. The can itself is actually a fully orbital spacecraft built by International Space Enterprises.

It was invented in Marion, V Tennessee in 1948, and across the United States in 1964. When removed from its characteristic green bottle, Mountain Dew is bright green-yellow and cloudy. Unlike lemon-lime soft drinks such as Sprite, 7 Up, or Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew contains concentrated orange juice. The closest imitator is Coca Cola's Mello Yello Ingredients Contains: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, concentrated orange juice and other natural flavors, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preserves freshness), caffeine, sodium citrate, gum arabic, erythorbic acid (preserves freshness), calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), brominated vegetable oil, and yellow 5. Today's marketing target is radically different. The drink is mainly marketed to people in the 2030 year old demographic group, and Mountain Dew advertising creates a connection between the drink and extreme sports. The name Mountain Dew was first trademarked by two brothers, Barney and Ally Hartman, who ran a bottling plant in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Aqua Fina

Aqua Fina is pure water for drinking. Pepsi uses their own water treatment facilities to purify municipal tap water used in making soft drinks. Municipal tap water passes through a reverse osmosis process, pushing already filtered tap water at high pressure through fiber glass membranes to remove even the tiniest particles. Then carbon filters removed chlorine and any other particles that might give the water any taste or smell. However all this filtering removed even good particles that killed bacteria. So Pepsi had to add ozone to the water to keep bacteria from growing. The result is Aqua fina water with no taste or odor. Pepsi believes that aqua fina will compete with the spring waters already in the market. Further Pepsi licenses its bottlers to use the Aquafina name and sell them the filtration equipment. Because the process used tap water that is relatively inexpensive, Pepsis aqua fina competes well on price with the spring waters.

Pepsi-Cola Pepsi-Cola, most commonly called Pepsi, is a soft drink produced by PepsiCo which is sold worldwide in stores, restaurants and vending machines. The brand was trademarked on June 16, 1903, though the drink was first made on August 28, 1898, by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. There are many variants of Pepsi, including Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Samba, Pepsi Blue and Pepsi Gold. Pepsi-Cola Type Cola Manufacturer PepsiCo, Inc. Country of Origin USA Introduced 1903

PRICE Pricing is one of the four p's of the marketing mix. The other three aspects are product management, promotion, and place. It is also a key variable in microeconomic price allocation theory. Pricing is the manual or automatic process of applying prices to purchase and sales orders, based on factors such as: a fixed amount, quantity break, promotion or sales campaign, specific vendor quote, price prevailing on entry, shipment or invoice date, combination of multiple orders or lines, and many others. Automated systems require more setup and maintenance but may prevent pricing errors. Price is the amount of money and/or other items with utility needed to acquire a product. Every marketing activity including pricing should be directed towards a goal. Thus management should decide on its pricing objective before determining the price itself. PepsiCo sets the prices of its products according to the prices of its competitors PepsiCo always try to sell its products at reasonable prices. The products of Pepsi are easily available and are sold at affordable prices all over the world. The main objective of pepsi is to make its products available for all classes of people. Pepsi also sells its products at discount prices at special occasions. For instance PepsiCo reduces the price of its 2.5l bottle of Pepsi from forty five rupees to forty rupees during the Ramadan and the Eid seasons. This increases the sales of Pepsi during the Ramadan and Eid seasons. During the summer season the prices of Pepsi goes high and decreases in the winter season. The increase in the price of Pepsi during the summer is due to its increase in consumption.

Pepsi sets the prices of its products in accordance with the prices of its competitors mainly the coca cola company. To increase its sales Pepsi introduced a 2.5L jumbo bottle of Pepsi at 50 R.S. Thus people get an extra 0.5 L of Pepsi for an increase in just 5 R.S. In Pakistan the snack products introduced by PepsiCo include Kurkura, Lays and Cheetos. The prices of these products are relatively low as compared to their rivals. For example a box of Pringles cost about 95 R.S but a large pack of Lays is for R.S 20. Lays has also introduced a smaller pack of R.S 10. Kurkura is a new product launched by PepsiCo. The introductory price of Kurkura is R.S. 20 and it comes in two flavors. The Main competitor of Aqua life pure drinking water is Nestle. The prices of nestle drinking water bottle of volume 500 ml is R.S 10 whereas the price of Aquafina bottle of volume 500 is also R.S 10. Olpers is the milk introduced by PepsiCo. The main competitors of Olpers milk include good milk, Haleeb, Nurpur and Nestle. All these fall in the same price line.

Distribution objective of Pepsi is to make pepsi available at an arms length i.e whenever we need pepsi it should be there at the stores and outlets. As 250 ml is a convenience product, Pepsi and its bottlers are making extensive distribution. Pepsi (Riaz Bottlers) uses the direct distribution method for distribution of its products. Products are distributed without the help of middleman like distributors. Company owns its distribution network.Products are distributed by company transport.

Incentives to Distributors Pepsi gives some incentives to distributors or retailers. Most common are: 1. Free bottles for achieving target. 2. Provides freezers whose sales reaches a specific limit. 3. Rate discount Credit Facilities Usually credit facilities are not provided by the companies. Most sales are made on cash bases. The sales man goes to retailers-outlet, take the empty bottles and replace them with new bottles and get the payments but the credit facilities are given to few organisations like PIA, SHELL, CALTEX and AVARI. This credit is short term. Number of outlets:

In the initial stage the number of outlets were about 1 thousand now there are 15 thousand outlets in lahore. Target market: Pepsi targets both young and old. Pepsi claims that their targeted customers are satisfied with the products and services they offer. 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. For instance, much has been written about the "sense of place", a well-known phenomenon in human society in which people strongly identify with a particular geographical area or location. Another instance of its use is as an identifier of a location that is noted for a particular characteristic, such as Stonehenge defining its location as a unique place. It may refer to something as macroscopic as, say, New York City, or something as specific as a spot on a shelf. However, in most Wikipedia articles that use it as a link, it is referring to location in a geographic, and not a specific placement, sense. Since 1982, Pepsi-Cola has conducted a structured program of purchasing quality products and services from suppliers who are designated as Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). The steadily increasing business with minority and women-owned firms has improved our company's supplier base. It has also helped to strengthen the suppliers' firms as well as the minority community infrastructure with regard to such benefits as employment, training, rolemodeling, buying from other minority and women-owned businesses, and supporting community organizations. We're extremely proud of what our M/WBE program has accomplished. It has enabled us to enter into partnerships with hundreds of firms whose contributions to our success have been enormous. When it comes to business, minority and majority goals are more alike than different. It's up to us to reaffirm those bonds and to act on them in ways that benefit us all. Swot Analysis Strength: 1. Company Image: It also is a reputable org. and is well known all over the world. Perception of producing a high quality product. 2. Quality Conscious:

They maintain a high quality as Pepsi Cola International collect sample from its different production facilities and send them for lab test in Tokyo. 3. Good Relation with Franchise: Throughout its history it has a good relation with franchisers working in different areas of the world where they have the production facilities. 4. Production Capacity: It has the highest production capacity i.e. 60,000 cases per day is not only in Pakistan but also in South Asia. 5. Market Share: It has a highest market share i.e. 62% in Pakistan and leading a far step head from its competitors. 6. Large No. of diversity businesses: This is also its main strength as it ahs diversity in many businesses such as i. Pepsi beverages ii. Pepsi foods iii. Pepsi Restaurants. 7. High Tech Culture: The whole culture and business operating environment at Pepsi-Cola-West Asia has quick access to a centralized database an they use computers as business tools for analysis and quick decision making. 8. Sponsorships: They mainly use celebrities in their advertising campaigning like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younas etc. Also sponsor social activates programme like music etc. Weakness: 1. Decline in taste: During the last years, it was published in Financial post that there has been big complaints from the customers with regard to the bad taste that they experienced during the span of six months.

2. Political Franchises: Such as in Pakistan, Hamayum Ahkhtar is its franchisee who has a strong political support from a political party which is in opposition. In; their era in government less taxes are imposed on them but relation increases as they come in opposition. So the selection is not appropriate as this thing is harmful to their image as well as the strategies. 3. Short term Approach: They have a lack of emphasis on this in their advertising such as currently when they losses the bid for official drink in the 96 cricket world cup. They started a campaign in which they highlight the factor such as nothing official about it. 4. Weak Distribution: They lack behind in catering the rural areas and just concentrating in the urban areas. Threats: 1. Imitators: They also have a problem of imitatiors as receives complaints from customers that they find take product in disguised of Pepsis product. 2. Government Regulation: They face problem if government employ taxes on them which force them to raise the price of their product. 3. Corporations shortage problem: Again this is also a serious threat from it suppliers as if supplier is unhappy with the company. He may reduce the supply and exploit the company. This action will surely affect the production process.

Opportunities: 1. Increase Population: As almost in all over the world growth rate is increasing which in turn increases the demand of products and necessities and especially in Asia the market is growing at a faster rate as compare to other continents. So they have to attract new entrants. 2. Changing social trend:

As in all over the world people are rushing towards fast food and beverage because of life which ahs become much faster, it provide the company a favour to capture this fast moving market with its take away product. 3. Diversification: They may enter in garments business in order to promote their brand mane, by making sports cloths fro players which represent their name by wearing their clothes.
