16Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 17: Sip Project (Pepsi)

S.M.V. Beverages (Jamshedpur) gets water from Sitampur Dam. This water being collected in huge tanks undergoes two different treatments resulting in soft water and treated water.Before ensuring production, this raw water is being treated in the water treatment plant. Soft water the municipal is passed through sand filter, carbon purified and salt charged softeners 9 to remove hardness). The water obtained after this treatment is called soft water. This soft water being kept with 2-4 PPM c12 in storage tank is used for bottle washing and the water being stored with c-12 goes to the boiler.

Treated Water:

The municipal water is at first treated with Ferrous sulphate (FeSo4 ), Lime (CaOH) and Chlorine. This process involved is called coagulation and it takes place in the reaction tank. From reaction tank the water moves on to the intermediate tank to be stored in the storage tank. From there it passes through the sand filter, carbon purifier, micro purifier and ultra violet light. Water obtained after this much treatment is called treated water and is used preparation of drink.

Bottle Washing:

Empty bottles coming back from market needs to be washed before filling. Washing of bottles is completely automatic process. This takes place in a machine having three chambers. Bottles are put on the conveyor and as they enter the machine they undergo three successive treatments. At first they are treated wath 4% caustic soda at 100-150 oF. In the next chamber they are treated with 2% caustic soda at 120 F and in the third chamber they are treated with soft water. The cleaned bottles are sent to inspection where the upper and lower portions of the watching successively against strong light.

5. INTRODUCTION TO PEPSI

History:

19Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 20: Sip Project (Pepsi)

Caleb D. Bradham was born in Chinquatin, North Carolina in 1866 to a well to do family. Caleb was a very well liked young man who was not only very smart but very popular as well. Caleb wantedto become a doctor and after graduating the university of North Carolina he entered medical school at the university of Maryland, Caleb’s father failed in his business. Caleb had to quit school and take a job, so he moved to New Bern, North Carolina and took a job in a teaching school.

Sometimes in the 1890’s Caleb created one such drink that become quite popular at the Bradham Pharmacy and the patrons started calling it “Brad’s Drink” in Caleb’s honor. However, Caleb prefferd another name for this drink and he decided to called it Pepsi-cola.

There has been some dispute as to whether or not the original Pepsi-cola actually contains pepsin as an ingredient. The term “Pepsi” in its name is surely an indicator. One of Pepsi-cola’s earliest known advertisement is found in the Feb 25th ,1903 New Bern daily journal and one of its claims was that it “Aids Digestion” a popular claim for items containing pepsin. Lastly another news paper and produced in 1908 flat out said “PEPSI-Colais an absolutely pure combination of pepsin- that what your stomach needs these day’s- acid phosphate and the juice of fresh fruits.”

In 1903 Caleb filed for a trade mark for Pepsi-Cola with the state of north Carolina and the document indicate that Pepsi_cola had been in continual use since August 8, 1898. However in 1906 Caleb had to register “Pepsi-Cola” a second time in the U.S. patent office believed these two name were too similar and since “Pep-Kola” had been trade mrked on the Feb. 15,1899, Pepsi-Cola had to come up with a new trade mark. Instead of changing the name of his product, Caleb bought the right to the “Pep-Kola” trade mark and re-applied for his trade mark in 1906. On these papers he gave the date Feb. 15,1896 as the earliest date Pepsi-Cola or names thus derived were used by him. However, August 28, 1898 is the date most people set as the date that Pepsi-Cola came into existing.

In any event, by 1902,Caleb had taken on an assistant named R.F.Buttler but better known as “ Uncle Dick” and while uncle Dick was put in charge of running the pharmacy, Caleb threw all his energy into Pepsi-Cola. In his first three months Caleb sold 2008gallons of Pepsi-Cola syrup. By the end of his first year ha had sold 7968 gallons of syrup. By 1904 he was selling 19,848 gallons a year and this is also the same year he started bottling Pepsi-Cola. A year later he also began selling Pepsi –Cola bottling franchises and than he started expanding rapidly. By 1910 he had 280 bottling franchises and covered at least 24 states. By 1907 he was selling over 100,000 gallons of syrup a year and in1915 Pepsi-Cola corporation had assets of over $1,000,000.

During world war I sugar prices to fluctuate wildly and that was assuming one could get their hands on a supply of sugar at all. Eventually the government implemented price controls to stabilize the cost of sugar but even that didn’t help with the erratic supply side of the sugar market. It was believed that once the war ended and the price controls were lifted sugar quickly jumped in price. To make matters worse it appeared that the cost of sugar was going to keep going up. Caleb and many other soft drinks manufactures decided to buy huge amount of sugar and thus protect themselves from even higher sugar prices. Bad decision sugar prices peaked at

20Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 21: Sip Project (Pepsi)

26? Per pound. During the previous couple of years Pepsi-Cola had been operating at a loss because of fluctuating sugar prices and supplies, but now they faced a loss so large it was unlikely they would be able to recover.

By March 2, 1923 “The Pepsi-Cola corporation” was bankrupt and two years later the “ The Pepsi-Cola corporation” was allowed to die for non payment of taxes. In 1934 at the age of 67 Caleb Bradham did not even able to hold onto his original drug store.

In 1923, when Pepsi-Cola went bankrupt its creditors had formed a corporation nmed “Craven Holding corporation”. Once the bankruptcy took place this new corporation paid $ 30,0000 for all of “The Pepsi-Cola corporation “ assets including the trade mark to Pepi-Cola. This was a pretty common practice for creditors as it made handling the bankruptcy easier. In july of 1923 a man named Roy megargel formed the Pepsi-Cola corporation” in virgina and purchased all of the assets of Pepsi-Cola from the craven Holding corporation for $ 35,000.

Loft owned and directly operated about 200 candy stores and the most of these had soda fountains. In 1931 these lofty candy stores had sold over 30,000 gallons of Coca-cola and guth believed that since this was wholesale quantity he warranted a jobbers (middleman) discount. Coca-cola disagreed with gruth and repeatedly turned down guth’s discount request. Now the Guth was ticked and Guth wasn’t the kind of guy you wanted to get mad. Guth didn’t just switch from buying coca-cola to buying a competitors product instead he bought Pepsi-Cola and become coca cola’s worst nightmare.

Megargel had contacted Guth and told him of the troubles he was having with Pepsi-Cola. Guth then made an agreement with Megargel and this is how it worked. Guth borrowed money from Loft Inc. ( he was short of case since his money was tied up in loft stock) and gave it to Megargel to buy Pepsi-Cola at the bankruptcy auction. Guth ten formed the “ Pepsi-Cola company”, a Delaware corporation with 300,000 shares of stock. After Megargel purchased Pepsi-Cola at the auction for $ 10,500. Megargel then owned 100,000 shares of the new company, Guth owned 100,000 shares and 100,000 shares would be kept by the new Pepsi-Cola company to raise money in the future. Megargel was also promised a salary of $25,000 a year for six years and after the six were up a2?? Royality for each gallon of Pepsi-cola sold.

MARKETING MIX

PRODUCT PRICE PLACE PROMOTION

Introduction:

Marketing needs a framework that begins and ends with the customer. Marketing tools by themselves do not achieve marketing objectives. There is an intermediate step between the deployment of marketing tools and achievement of marketing objectives. A marketing network consists of the company and its supporting stakeholders (customer, suppliers, distributors, retailers, ad-agencies and others). The operating principle is simple: build and effective network of relationship with key stakeholders, and profit will follow.

A set of marketing tolls the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives are called marketing-mix. These tools can be classified into four groups which are called the four P’s of marketing.

However some academicians feels that the four P’s of marketing have become redundant and needs to be replaced by the four A’s or four C’s of marketing.

To make its products available at right place, at the right time in the market, the sales department of the company plays major attention towards controlling the channel of distribution.

The company right from its beginning stage maintains single type of marketing channel.The name of channel is as follows:-

Company

Distributer

Retailer

Customer

At first soft drink is supplied to distributers directly. Retailer cannot take the delivery directly from the company. They have to take it from their respective or nearest distributors. The distributors selected on the basis of assurance given by them regarding minimum sales, which the have mention annually. The selection is also done in the basis of the financial position and reputation of distributing in the market. As for the example, in appointing distributer first priority is given to those people who are in cigarette business. Depending upon market each distributor in the initial stage deposit some security money. This varies between five to ten thousand.

The distributer selects the retailers. There is no relation between the company and its retailers. On the other hand there is no definite and fixed criterion for the selection of appointment of retailer from the side of distributers. Any one like “panwala”, “cigarette shop” or any other shopkeepers can have the stall for the sale of soft drinks and they are called retailer or dealers.

They have to give assurance to the concerning distributers for better sales and time of taking delivery they have to deposit security that is the change for the empty bottle with specified purchasing price.

The distributors at first have to seek the permission of the sales department for the number of cases of soft drink required by them. After getting the proper authority from the sales department, they take the delivery from shipping department paying the requisite either in cash or as demand draft.

Generally there is no compulsion on that part of distributers to provide the transportation facilities to there retailers. But the distributers of big areas like Ranchi, Jamshedpur and bokaro. Provide the transportation facilities to there respective retailers. The distributer and retailers are independent to sell as they want but are controlled to some extent by the company also, as they have to give some assurance regarding minimum sales. It happens to because they are given incentives also. They are fully independent to gear up the market, as the want. The company

32Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 33: Sip Project (Pepsi)

dose the gearing job itself also and times it advices them to the gearing up in a way, which is more profitable for all of them.

The distributers can be dropped if they fail to achieved the required the target of sales. They can also be dropped when they can not follow the instruction given by the company or when they charge high price or when they are engaged in black marketing, loading etc. but the company has not dropped any of its distributers till now.

The supply of soft drinks, to the distributers depends upon the UPS and down in sales. But in the initial stages the distributers have t sell up to a minimum target set by the company or as decided by an agreement between the company and distributers. In the later stages soft drink is supplied as and when demanded by the distributers.

Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 39: Sip Project (Pepsi)

Sample is a very useful term used knowingly or unknowingly by many. A common man used it for making personal decision. It is used in a routine, for automobiles, temperature etc. however; sampling is extensively used in marketing research.

There are two type of sampling methods:1. Probability methods 2. Non probability methods

Probability method includes:a) Convenience sampling b) Quota control sampling c) Judgmental sampling

A non probability method includes:a) Simple random sampling b) Systematic sampling c) Stratified sampling

In this project I have used convenience sampling method of collecting data.

SAMPLE SIZE:

Sample is one part of population representing characteristics population. To select a sample is an easy job but to collect an appropriate samples size is tough job. Sample should be unbiased. Sample must be drawn under some conditions of population. As population of the survey was too large and it was almost difficult to reach every person personally. I have selected 200 respondents of Pepsi product through survey method.

UNIVERSAL/POPULATION:

The term population or universe means the totally of all elements that are relevant to the scope of the problem under study. In this project my universe was RANCHI district in Jharkhand

Page 55: Sip Project (Pepsi)

STRENGTHS:

S.M.V. Beverages is franchise owned Bottled operation (FOBO) of world’s most famous soft drink giant Pepsi Co.

S.M.V. Beverages uses state of the art and fully automatic machines and technology for the product and bottling of soft drinks.

It has a very strong distribution network and well built market and currently holds almost all the parts of the state.

It has a very wide product mix.

WEAKNESS:

Purity and quality of the products are estimated manually.

Promotional activities in the rural market are not upon the mark as compared to the urban market.

Its one of the popular brands PEPSI in cola flavor is lagging behind with its nearest competitor only due to high sugar content and less thrilling taste.

More emphasis is given to larger dealers.

PEPSI has only cola flavor where its competitor has Coca-Cola has coke and Thumps-up.

The sales promotion schemes do not reach the retailers.

The price changed by the retailers is different from the print MRP.

55Institute of Science and ManagementPundag, Ranchi (Jharkhand)

Page 56: Sip Project (Pepsi)

OPPORTUNITIES:

It should give incentives to the dealers in the rural areas, where there is a huge market potential.

It should adopt automatic and computerized quality control system for its products.

More lucrative schemes to be launched regularly, specially during off season. So as to attach more and more customers.

Apart from sponsoring films, cricket and music it should also sponsor to different fashion shows, quizzes and debates in school and colleges.

The consumption rate is high in Jharkhand.

The present supply of all the flavours especially slice is not sufficient to fulfil the demand during summer season, which may be trapped profitably.

To take the help of CRM to get the competitive advantage over its competitors.

THREATS:

One of the products of their competitor in the Cola segment has a very good share due to its taste.

Coca-Cola is spending more and more and more to boost up the scale, so S.V.M. Beverages should also have to go ahead and think about it.

The entry of new company products. Like (Coca-Cola) would make the market more competitive.

The distribution of coca-Cola is very strong the outskirts of the city.

Threats from indigenous drinks like of sattu,lassi,sugarcane juice and other fruit juice that apart from quenching thrist has nutritive value.
