COMPANY PROFILE

Present soft drink boon in India was attributed to the legacy of Coca Cola, which was there in INDIA till 1977. In todays market the Coca-Cola (Coke, Thumps Up, Fanta, Limca, Sprite, Vanilla Coke, etc.) hold a 62% market share that appears to bear concentrated rush to beg a big share in the soft drink market.Various national & multinational firms are engaged in soft drink market due to increase in its demand day by day. As far as INDIA soft drink market is concerned there are major company’s engaged having a big completion to capture the soft drink market are namely Coca-Cola & Pepsi. While Campa Cola & many local cola’s still notice in the Indian Market.Pepsi Cola attacked Coca-Cola before World War II. Coca Cola dominated the American soft drink industry, Pepsi cola was a drink less to manufactures & with a less satisfactory taste then Coke. Where as Coca-Cola major selling point was more drink for the same price and Pepsi emphasized on advertising.During World War II Pepsi & Coke both enjoyed increased sale. After the war Pepsi sale was started to fall relatively to Coke, resulting the Coca-Cola had starting to click the Market share. A number of factory contributed to Pepsi problem were poor image, poor taskforce, poor quality control etc. At that point Alfred.N.Steeler came to the presidency of Pepsi cola with a great reputation for merchandising. He and his staff recognized that the main hope lay transforming Pepsi from a cheap imitator of Coke into a class on soft drink manufacturer.By 1955 all Pepsi’s major weakness had been overcome, resulting sales had climbed substantially. These actions from 1955 to 1960 led to a considerable sales growth for Pepsi.

In India another company engaged in soft drink market is Coca-Cola. It is one of the most widely known, accepted and admired trademarks of the world. Coca-Cola was their in India till 1977, when the Indian Government banned it due to strong resentment against multinational company’s Coca-Cola was re-launched again in India in September 1993 at “HATHRAS” near Agra. The India people welcomed the come back of their most loved Cola in the country with great enthusiasm and vigor.Coca-Cola marked its re-launching with acquiring five Parley drinks viz. Thumps Up, Gold Spot, Limca, Citra, Maaza, Soda.Soft drink industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. The basic idea behind the rapid growth of this industry is due to following reasons:

Page | 7

Page 8: coca cola

• The great corporate war between Coke & Pepsi, who left no stone unturned, for monopolizing the India Soft Drink market.

• The basic ideology of these two giants is to promote soft drinks as a food item in India hold.

• The long hot summers in India have increased the consumption of soft drinks

HISTORY OF COCA-COLA

Jon Styth Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia it was May 1861 when the pharmacist concocted a caramel colored syrup in three–legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first distributed the new product by carrying Coca-Cola in a jug cown enjoys in a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, producing a drink that was proclaimed “Delicious and Refreshing”.

Dr. Pemberton’s Partner and bookkeeper, Mr. Frank Robinson, suggested the name and penned as “Coca-Cola” in the unique flowing script that is still famous worldwide today.

Dr. Pemberton’s sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright Red wooden kegs. Red has been a distinctive color associated with the No.1 soft drink brand ever since. For his efforts, Dr. Pemberton grossed $ 50 and spent $ 73.96 on advertising, by 1891, Atlanta chemist as a G.Canler had acquired complete ownership of the Coca-Cola business.He purchases it from the Dr.Pemberton family for $ 2300. With in 4 year his merchandising flair helped to expand the consumption of Coca-Cola to over $25 million.

Robert W. woodruff become the president of the Coca-Cola company in 1923 and his more than six decades of leadership took the business of commercial success making Coca-Cola an institution the world over.

Coca-Cola begins as a never tonic, but candy merchant Joseph A. Biedenharn of Mississippi was looking for awry to serve refreshing beverages. He responded to this demand began offering bottle Coca-Cola using syrup shipped from Atlanta, during a hot summer in 1894.

MARKETING MIX

MARKETING MIX & STRATEGY Marketing mix of any organization consists of 4 ps i.e. Product, price, place and promotion having its own significance, that varies from one organization to the other. in coca – cola the information about all the 4 P`s that can be available to me is given here:

PRODUCT: Product mix of coca-cola consists of the various brand packs and flavor given in the table. Product strategy of the coca-cola is to promote all brands available in the brand packs and to introduce the product in new flavor is also introduced.

PRICE: Regarding the pricing policy or the price to the distributor is not disclosed to me, but as done for the different product of the company, company has priced the product same as that of its major competitor or the market leader.

PLACE: The coca-cola company in India is governed from its corporate office located at Gurgaon in Haryana . It governs the working of five zones covering whole India these zones are –north zone , eastern zone , western – zone , southern zone and Andhra Pradesh zone . These zones are divided in to various. Plant, which govern the area assigned to them. The area is the various distribution centers called distributors and C&F agents. Then come the retailers / customer for the company’s product.They receive good from distributor and c&f agent. Finally consumer is there, having the product from the consumer’s shops or delivered to their home, it is more clearly visible through this chart. The coca-cola company, which gave its reach to the mouth of billion of people all around the world having a wide distribution, network. In India, the pace and speed at which coca-cola has widened its business is really amazing. Distribution network is the biggest strength of the company.

PROMOTION: this past of the marketing is playing a very vital and important role in the current situation in India. Looking at the competition and promotion and advertising budget of both the companies coca-cola and Pepsi, one can easily estimate the importance of this. The promotion mix of coca-cola is divided in to top line promotion and below the line promotion. Top line promotion includes the promotion designed and done by the company’s corporate office of gurgaon and the office of Bombay T.V ads , design of banner , and other p-s done by the company simultaneously all around India with no difference in designs etc fall in this category .

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

• Retailers are reluctant to discuss the problems in detail and are not willing to provide the exact information of each brand and sizes to the researcher.

• The no. of outlet sample was less to draw any conclusion of channel wise sales.• The time period of study is just 8 weeks, under such constraints the study cannot be

undertaken comprehensively. • Geographically area of Delhi was a big one and outlet were locationally scattered in the

nature. Thus was a difficult thing to cover even a single route in a day.• It being a dynamic market, where competition is cut throat, even outlet change their response

very frequently, thus at a time are biased.

Page | 25

Page 26: coca cola

FINDINGS

Following are the findings of the survey, which I observed during the survey:

• According to analysis Salesman informed more about the promotional schemes as compared to other,so the schemes are available to the retailers.

• Cash is more demanding item in market by outlets as because it gives them a financial support to their business.

• Coca Cola provides better promotional schemes then Pepsi.

Page | 26

Page 27: coca cola

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

These are the following suggestions, which I recommend to the distributor.1 Launching schemes which should act as counter attack schemes for competitors2 In order to raise the sales and compete the market the distributor should give some extra

scheme to its retailers.

3 New frequently scheme should be launched.

4 In short-term scheme for 6 month should be launched in comparison to other brand.
