PepsiCo's Marketing Strategies and Brand Awareness of Slice in India

PREFACE
Today the Soft Drinks market is flooded with different brands of soft drink resulting into fierce competition. The companies have to adopt different marketing strategies in order to compete in this era to cope in the prevailing situation. In order the companies always strive to successfully introduce their products in the market with innovative ideas and pioneering strategies. As soon as the Indian Economy opened up the economy, the cola giants, PEPSI & COCACOLA jumped in and then conquered the Indian soft drinks market with their aggressive and ever changing strategies. They attacked almost all segments of the Indian consumer market that has now resulted into multiphase expansion of the Indian soft drink market. The amount of investment made by these companies in this short duration in India speaks for itself. Both Coke as well as Pepsi has already made an investment of more than US$ 700 million alone in the Indian market. Although these cola giants have worldwide presence but their focus in the Indian market is phenomenal. With its effective and efficient distribution network it is covering the need of entire population of the country. With ever changing customer tastes and preferences, it is very difficult to develop an effective programme. Proper sales promotion strategies should be set up in accordance to the market location. Top-notch service and regular feedback also helps in keeping up the pace.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project was undertaken for a period of eight weeks at M/s Varun Beverages Ltd (a Franchisee of PepsiCo) for the partial fulfillment of the PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) course from Maharishi Institute of Management, Noida. The objective of the project was to find out what are the constraints and adherence in applying the Visicooler plannogram and how to tackle them. To make retailers aware about the PepsiCo Visicooler Plannogram and ensure that they do follow it regularly to lure more customers and to ultimately increase its market share and their profit (by 30%). To complete this project, a survey was conducted on retailers with the help of a questionnaire in the region of East Delhi. The sample size was decided by Mr. H.S. Rana, which was of 150 retailers. All retailers selected in the sample had been asked about PepsiCo Visicooler Plannogram. After the survey, it was observed that PepsiCo Visicooler Plannogram has a vital role in increasing sales of the company and that the same would directly have an impact on the market share of the company. In East Delhi region, a lot of sales promotion activities had been already initiated by the company. Among these activities, PepsiCo Visicooler Plannogram was an absolutely new concept and it had an innovative way to attract both retailers & customers. The basic purpose of the sales promotion activities is to enhance the demand of products by temporarily increasing their value to the purchaser. A major area of improvement that the company should look at is retailers awareness about the new Visicooler Plannogram. The same came to light during the survey, wherein it was observed that most of the retailers do not have proper information even about retailer centric promotions (POG) being offered by the company. The Customer Executives, Salesman and Merchandiser of the company need to act as a bridge between retailers and company. They should be properly equipped by complete knowledge of the schemes so that they can give proper knowledge to the retailers.

With a fierce competition ranging amongst various companies involved in the field of soft drink, brand awareness and promotion are indispensable for the future growth prospects. In this project, I m going to discuss and analyze the awareness and positioning of Slice. In the field of juice based product in the market and the taste & preference of consumer. In this project, based upon marketing research, I defined the problem, collected, organized and analyzed the data; making deductions and evaluations; thereby reaching the conclusions. Brand awareness is not such an easy task; therefore, I m going to adopt a multiple strategy in defining the problem, evaluating the data and suggesting the recommendations.
Multiple strategy includes an extensive research on secondary data i.e. data which has already been collected by someone else; thereby making it much more valuable and appropriate by analyzing it in the perspective of new and the first hand data i.e. Primary Data, which happens to be original in character. It is absolutely essential to determine the various ways for the business to grow and succeed in a dynamic way and finding the root cause for the available problem, to discard it. Methodologically, marketing research uses several types of research designs namely; Qualitative techniques, Quantitative techniques, Conceptual and Empirical techniques, Descriptive and Analytical techniques etc. Researchers may adopt more than one research
designs i.e. a multiple research design strategy, but to achieve the aim and objective of the project, Quantitative Research Design has been adopted- which is generally used to draw conclusions, uses random sampling techniques to as to infer from the sample to the population- involves a large number of respondents- examples include Surveys and Questionnaires. Therefore, the entire marketing research project depended hugely for its success on an appropriate an effective Questionnaire as it is very rightly called the heart of the entire survey operation. If it is not properly set up: Then the survey and its outcomes are bound to fail. Hence first and foremost, I m going to define and explain the relevance and appropriateness of each and every questions which was made a part of the Questionnaire and how it moved the project towards its pre-determined objectives. To understand that better, we must have a look at the Questionnaire compiled.
Brand awareness is the ability of potential buyer to recognize or recall that a brand is a
part of a product category. In other words, the customer should be able to identify a firms product in the retail store or able to recall its brand whenever he or she thinks of the product class. Brand awareness has to be thought of as a continuous range from an uncertain felling that a brand is recognize to a belief that it is the only one in the product class. At the top end of the continuum is the brand that exists at the top of the customers mind. This is the happy and most desired condition that any marketer seeks. The next level is of all the other brands that are recalled by the customer in an unaided form. The customer is asked to recall as many as he or she is able to whenever one thinks of a product.
Shareholders
PepsiCo (symbol: PEP) shares are traded principally on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. The company is also listed on the Chicago and Swiss stock exchanges. PepsiCo has consistently paid cash dividends since the corporation was founded.
HISTORY OF PEPSI
Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina was a pharmacist. Like many pharmacists at the turn of the century he had a soda fountain in his drugstore, where he served his customers refreshing drinks, that he created himself. His most popular beverage was something he called "Brad's drink" made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts. "Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898 after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe. In 1898, Caleb Bradham wisely bought the trade name "Pepsi-Cola" for $100 from a competitor from Newark, New Jersey that had gone broke. In 1902, he launched the Pepsi-Cola Company in the back room of his pharmacy, and applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark. At first, he mixed the syrup himself and sold it exclusively through soda fountains. But soon Caleb recognized that a greater opportunity existed to bottle Pepsi so that people could drink it anywhere. The business began to grow, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was officially registered with the U.S. Patent Office. That year, Caleb sold 7,968 gallons of syrup, using the theme line "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion." He also began awarding franchises to bottle Pepsi to independent investors, whose number grew from just two in 1905, in the cities of Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina, to 15 the following year, and 40 by 1907. By the end of 1910, there were Pepsi-Cola franchises in 24 states.
Pepsi-Cola's first bottling line resulted from some less-thansophisticated engineering in the back room of Caleb's pharmacy. Building a strong franchise system was one of Caleb's greatest achievements. Local Pepsi-Cola bottlers, entrepreneurial in spirit and dedicated to the product's success, provided a sturdy foundation. They were the cornerstone of the Pepsi-Cola enterprise. By 1907, the new company was selling more than 100,000 gallons of syrup per year. Growth was phenomenal, and in 1909 Caleb erected a headquarters so spectacular that the town of New Bern pictured it on a postcard. Famous racing car driver Barney Old field
endorsed Pepsi in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race." After seventeen years of success, Caleb Bradham lost Pepsi Cola. He had gambled on the fluctuations of sugar prices during W.W.I, believing that sugar prices would continue to rise but they fell instead leaving Caleb Bradham with an overpriced sugar inventory. Pepsi Cola went bankrupt in 1923. In 1931, Pepsi Cola was bought by the Loft Candy Company Loft president, Charles G. Guth who reformulated the popular soft drink. Guth struggled to make a success of Pepsi and even offered to sell Pepsi to the Coca-Cola company, who refused to offer a bid. In 1940, history was made when the first advertising jingle was broadcast nationally. The jingle was "Nickel Nickel" an advertisement for Pepsi Cola that referred to the price of Pepsi and the quantity for that price. "Nickel Nickel" became a hit record and was recorded into fifty-five languages.
Company leadership
PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and in a short period of 20 years has grown into the largest and one of the fastest growing food & beverage business in the country. PepsiCo Indias growth has been guided by PepsiCos global vision of Performance with Purpose. This means that while businesses maximize shareholder value, they have a responsibility to all the stakeholders including the communities in which they operate, the consumers they serve and the environment whose resources they use.
Large investor: One of the largest US multinational investors in the country with an investment of over $1 billion, PepsiCo India provides direct and indirect employment to over 1,50,000 people across the country. Its beverage and snack food business is supported by 36 beverage bottling plants, (13 company and 23 franchisee owned) and three food plants. PepsiCo Indias diverse portfolio includes iconic brands like Pepsi, Lays, Kurkure, Tropicana 100%, Gatorade, Quaker and young but immensely popular and fast growing brands such as Nimbooz and Aliva. No.1 food & beverage business in India: PepsiCo India has not only grown to become the countrys largest food and beverage business but has also become a powerful and consistent driver of PepsiCos global growth. Over the last two years, India's beverage and foods businesses have been the largest volume growth contributors to PepsiCo across the globe. PepsiCo India has been frequently recognized for its industry-leading human resource practices, indovations, corporate values, and talent, and was one of the five top marketers of the country in 2009. A third of PepsiCo India's portfolio today comprises healthier products: PepsiCos portfolio reflects its commitment to nourish consumers with a diverse range of fun and healthy products, making the healthful choice an easier choice. As PepsiCo grows, the portfolio transformation will continue with a systematic plan to reduce added sugar, sodium and saturated fats in its products. Today, the portfolio includes several healthier treats like Quaker Oats, Tropicana juices, rehydrator Gatorade, Pepsi Max and Cheetos Whoosh. PepsiCo was the first in India to introduce the use of healthier oils for its snacks -- Lays Potato chips, Kurkure and Cheetos. Model partnership with over 22,000 farmers: PepsiCo has pioneered and established a model of partnership with farmers and now works with over 22,000 happy farmers across ten states. More than 45% of these are small and marginal farmers with a land holding of one acre or less. PepsiCo Indias farming program has improved their livelihoods and incomes by providing assured buy back of their produce at pre-agreed prices thus insulating them from open market price fluctuations. PepsiCo provides 360 degree support to the farmer through quality seeds, extension services, disease control packages, bank loans, weather insurance, and latest technological practices.
Global leader in water conservation: In 2009, PepsiCo India achieved a significant milestone, by becoming the first business in the PepsiCo system to achieve Positive Water Balance (PWB). This means that it replenishes more water than it consumes in its manufacturing operations. This has been validated by Deloitte Consulting. PepsiCo is leading a pioneering initiative to replace transplanting of paddy with direct seeding technology which has helped reduce water consumption in paddy cultivation by over 30% and has also cut down GHG emissions by 75%. In 2010, PepsiCo India saved 10.1 billion litres of water through various initiatives. For water related environment initiatives, PepsiCo India has received numerous awards such as CII National award for water management, Water Digest award for water practices and Golden Peacock award for water conservation among others. Care for the environment: Following its success in water conservation, the company is now focused on reducing its carbon footprint. Nearly 30% of its energy is today generated from renewable sources such as rice husk boilers and wind turbines. Initiatives such as agriculture waste boilers in our plants, installation of wind turbines, reduction of use of chemicals, reduction in weight of packaging and film used in product packaging, reduction in weight of metal crowns/polypropylene caps for plastic bottles, conversion of potato waste into bio gas help reduce load on the environment. PepsiCo India also partners NGOs and local administrations in three states of India to recycle household solid waste in an endeavor to keep cities clean. Its award-winning "waste to wealth" recycling program reaches 450,000 families. Exemplary employment practices: PepsiCo India believes in providing employment and growth opportunities to local talent. Its College of Leadership, ensures early identification of talent, and employees focused development through critical experiences. PepsiCo strongly believes in Winning with Diversity and Inclusion. PepsiCo has been offering employment to women employees at the same employment terms and equal growth opportunities as men. Today women comprise more than 25% of the companys leadership team in India. PepsiCo India currently employs over 100 differently-abled people and has won the prestigious Hellen Keller award from the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP).
PepsiCo Develops Worlds First 100 Percent Plant-Based, Renewably Sourced PET Bottle
Plant-based materials eliminate need for petroleum; significantly reduce bottles carbon footprint PepsiCo has unique ability to source plant-based materials for production PURCHASE, N.Y. (March 15, 2011) Building upon its heritage as an innovator and leader in environmental sustainability, PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) today announced it has developed the worlds first PET plastic bottle made entirely from plant-based, fully renewable resources, enabling the company to manufacture a beverage container with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. PepsiCos green bottle is 100 percent recyclable and far surpasses existing industry technologies. The bottle is made from bio-based raw materials, including switch grass, pine bark and corn husks. In the future, the company expects to broaden the renewable sources used to create the green bottle to include orange peels, potato peels, oat hulls and other agricultural byproducts from its foods business. This process further reinforces PepsiCos Power of One advantage by driving a strategic beverage innovation via a food-based solution. This breakthrough innovation is a transformational development for PepsiCo and the beverage industry, and a direct result of our commitment to research and development, said PepsiCo Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi. PepsiCo is in a unique position, as one of the worlds largest food and beverage businesses, to ultimately source agricultural byproducts from our foods business to manufacture a more environmentally-friendly bottle for our beverages business a sustainable business model that we believe brings to life the essence of Performance with Purpose. Combining biological and chemical processes, PepsiCo has identified methods to create a molecular structure that is identical to petroleum-based PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which results in a bottle that looks, feels and protects its product identically to existing PET beverage containers.
PepsiCo will pilot production of the new bottle in 2012. Upon successful completion of the pilot, the company intends to move directly to full-scale commercialization. "As You Sow applauds PepsiCo's innovative packaging design," said Conrad Mackerron, Senior Program Director of As You Sow, a San Francisco-based foundation, which promotes corporate social responsibility through shareholder engagement. "By reducing reliance on petroleum-based materials and using its own agricultural scraps as feedstock for new bottles, this advancement should deliver a double win for the environment and PepsiCo." With this development, PepsiCo continues its leadership position in environmental sustainability and driving progress against the global goals and commitments it announced in 2010 to protect the Earths natural resources through innovation and more efficient use of land, energy, water and packaging. Specific examples of PepsiCos recent environmental innovations and progress include: About PepsiCo PepsiCo offers the world's largest portfolio of billion-dollar food and beverage brands, including 19 different product lines that generate more than $1 billion in annual retail sales each. Our main businesses -- Quaker, Tropicana, Gatorade, Frito-Lay, and Pepsi Cola -- also make hundreds of other enjoyable and wholesome foods and beverages that are respected household names throughout the world. With net revenues of approximately $60 billion, PepsiCos people are united by our unique commitment to sustainable growth by investing in a healthier future for people and our planet, which we believe also means a more successful future for PepsiCo.

What's Inside Carbonated Soft Drinks Soft drink production begins with the creation of flavored syrup using a closely-guarded company recipe. The syrup is mixed with water and then carbonated by adding carbon dioxide gas under pressure. This carbonation creates the "tingly fizz" that gives soft drinks a refreshing taste. As with other foods, ingredients used in soft drinks are approved and closely regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ingredients used in soft drinks are found in a variety of foods. Ingredients may include: Water: Soft drink production starts with a pure source of water. Regular soft drinks contain 90 percent water, while diet soft drinks may contain up to 99 percent water. Drinking water often includes trace amounts of various elements that affect its taste. Because of this, bottlers use sophisticated filtering and other treatment equipment to remove residual impurities and standardize the water used to make soft drinks. Carbon Dioxide: When you open a soft drink bottle or can, the "pop" you hear and the "fizz" you see is the rapid escape of carbon dioxide gas caused by the sudden release of pressure on the beverage. Carbon dioxide, a colorless and odorless gas, is the essential
characterizing ingredient in all carbonated beverages. It is given off when we breathe and is used by plants to produce oxygen. But when dissolved in water, carbon dioxide imparts a unique taste. Bottlers buy pure carbon dioxide as a compressed gas in high-pressure cylinders. Carbon dioxide gas is absorbed into the flavored soft drink in a carbonator machine just before the container is sealed. Flavors: One of the most important ingredients in soft drinks is flavoring. Most soft drink bottlers mix many individual flavors to create distinctive tastes. Natural flavors in soft drinks come from spices, natural extracts and oils. Fruit-flavored soft drinks such as orange and lemon-lime often contain natural fruit extracts. Other flavors such as root beer and ginger ale contain flavorings made from herbs and spices. There are also some artificial or man-made flavorings used in soft drinks since some natural flavors are limited geographically, seasonally, or high demand. Colors: Many people don't realize how important color is to taste perception. Color affects our psychological impression of food. If you don't believe it, try eating a familiar food in the dark. The colors used in foods and beverages come from both natural and synthetic sources. Acidulants: Similar to fruit juices and many other food products, most soft drinks are slightly acidic. Acidulants add a pleasant tartness to soft drinks and act as a preservative. Some soft drinks contain a small amount of one or two common food acidulants Phosphoric Acid and Citric Acid. Occasionally, other acidulants such as malic acid or tartaric acid are also used. Preservatives: Soft drinks do not normally spoil because of their acidity and carbonation. However, storage conditions and storage time can sometimes impact taste and flavor. For this reason, some soft drinks contain small amounts of preservatives that are commonly used in many foods. Potassium: Potassium is another essential nutrient found in many natural and man-made food ingredients. Like sodium, potassium exists naturally in drinking water and, therefore, soft drinks. Small amounts of potassium are also found in some of the flavoring agents and other ingredients used in soft drinks.
Sodium: Sodium, in the form of various salts, is present in many natural and man-made compounds. It is an essential mineral nutrient responsible for regulating and transferring body fluids, as well as other important body functions. Although an adequate daily intake of sodium is necessary for good health, excessive consumption has been tied to high blood pressure in some people. Soft drinks are not significant sources of sodium in the diet. In Soft drinks are classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as "low" or "very low" sodium foods. Even people who are advised to restrict their intake of sodium by their doctor can usually drink and enjoy soft drinks with their doctor's approval. Sodium-free soft drinks are also available.

QUICK BRAND FACTS
Slice was launched in India in 1993 Slice Mangola was introduced in 1994
A thirst for growth

: There is no way you would have missed it. PepsiCos new Aamsutra commercial for its mango drink Slice. It makes an appearance, without fail, on almost every mass entertainment channel on television. The film opens with the leggy Katrina Kaif sashaying into her room, seducing, guess what? A bottle of Slice! Thick droplets of pulpy mango nectar cascade on her luscious lips to the drunken notes of Rasiya Flip to another channel and you might catch Coca-Colas Maaza Lao Aam Ki Pyaas Bujhao thats decidedly less in-your-face. Rather churlish, as a petulant father begs for mangoes from a fruitless tree, from the fruit vendor, until his imaginative son flips open a bottle of Maaza for him. The difference in the approach of the two cola companies is not surprising, given that CocaColas strategy has always been to cut its appeal across to the whole family. Proper to the core, unlike the more pesky PepsiCo. And therein hangs the tale. Of the two cola companies once again at each others necks but with a markedly different segment in mind. This time the fight is over a slice of the noncarbonated, packaged mango drink market that has been growing at 25% (in volume) over the past few years. The Rs 1,500-crore juice market (includes juices, nectars and fruit drinks) in India, according to industry estimates, logs sales of 600 million cases every year. Of this, almost 90% is consumed out of home. Only 10% of this 600 million cases (that is, 60 million cases) are sold in bottles and tetrapacks. The rest, 90% of the juices, are sold loose. Looking at the market from another perspective, Indians consume nearly 120 billion litres of beverages every year, out of which only 4% are ready-to-drink packaged beverages. This is true for both sparkling and still beverages, including fruit juices. Undoubtedly, this represents a huge opportunity for the ready-to-drink (branded) segment. The potential for growth is so vast that recently, Coca-Cola launched Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, an orange-based pulpy drink to extend its portfolio in the fruit juice drink segment.
The same year, it introduced Maaza in a 250-ml PET bottle priced at Rs 15, and a 200-ml tetrapack of Pocket Maaza priced at Rs 12, implying a saving of another Rs 3 per carry bottle. Slice, meanwhile, is available in 250-ml (Rs 10) and 200-ml (Rs 8) returnable glass bottles, besides 200-ml tetrapack (Rs 12) and 500-ml (Rs 22) and 1.2 litre (Rs 48) PET bottles. In 2008, rising to the mango bait, Slice decided to increase its stake in the game. It came out with a new 3D mango logo and brought Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif on board, thereby upping its ante in positioning Slice as a serious contender to category leader Maaza. The battlelines were drawn last year when Maaza launched a campaign that positioned the drink as the Bina Gutli Wala Aam (seedless mango), to make Maaza synonymous with mangoes, a la Thanda Matlab Coca-Cola. Thereafter, although Leo Burnetts Maaza Lao Aam Ki Pyaas Bujhao was thought of as a powerful metaphor for the irrepressible mango craving in most Indians, the general consensus is that in execution at least, JWTs Kaif commercial is more sensual, if not more memorable. Conceding to this erotic posturing, Homi Battiwalla, business head, juice and juice Drinks, PepsiCo India, says, Slice has seen powerful consumer momentum post the relaunch of 2008. The new formulation and the clutter-breaking positioning around Aamsutra has driven strong disruption in the juice and juice drink category. Meanwhile, a lot is happening in the rival camp as well. The spokesperson for Coca-Cola India claims the company managed to deliver its 10th straight quarter of growth in India with unit case volume increasing almost 28% in the last quarter of 2008. Slice and Maaza have to also contend with Daburs Real Mango juice and Parle Agros Frooti, though they operate in a different category. PepsiCo also has Tropicana and Tropicana Twister (in the health portfolio) in the pure juice category. The stakes are high for both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. In terms of consumer preferences, 85% of the 60 million packaged juice cases (that is, 50 million) are mango-based juices, nectars and drinks with Coca-Colas Maaza claiming a market share of 40% (of the 50 million cases) and Parle Agros Frooti and PepsiCos Slice, trailing not too far behind. The domestic
processing capacity of mango is 12,000 tonnes per day during the fruit season, according to market estimates. The Indian yearning for the continental fruit however is so strong that PepsiCo had to roll back its other fruit variants launched under the Slice umbrella in 2002. These extensions cost the brand in terms of both market and consumer mind share. While competitors Maaza and Frooti concentrated on the mango flavour, Slice frittered its energy into reworking the Slice portfolio. Observers contend that the promotional investment behind the brand was never consistent with the proposed goal. Slice didnt stick to a consistent positioning either. While Frooti and Maaza touted themselves as drinks based on real mangoes, Slice sold itself as a purveyor of joySimple Joy ka Raassomething that didnt really give it a strong positioning platform. By 2006, when PepsiCo realised the need to build the equity of Slice more aggressively, Maaza had created a strong position in the market along with leader Frooti. Slice was relaunched in 2008 in a new avatar. At last, Slice anchored itself as a mango drink. The brand launched a very smart campaignAamsutra. Commenting on the new competitive positioning of the two cola companies, Samit Sinha, managing partner of Alchemist Brand Consulting, says, To me, Slice appears to be gunning for a relatively olderlate teens and aboveaudience, while Maaza seems to be targeting children. In addition, Maaza is trying to position itself as the real mango drink, a perfectly acceptable and convenient alternative to eating fresh mangoes, thus adding an element of innocent, good fun and humour. Slice, on the other hand, is attempting to eroticise the fruit and turn it into a sexy brand. In short, as always, Maaza is going the safe routelow risk-low gain, while Slice has decided to take a higher risk and a more radical approach, the relevance of which, Im not entirely sure of, adds Sinha. The jury is still out on this one.
Fruits of labour Maaza was launched in 1976 in India. The Union Beverages Factory, based in the United Arab Emirates, began selling Maaza as a franchisee in the Middle East and Africa in 1976. By 1995, it had acquired rights to the Maaza brand in these countries through Maaza International Co LLC Dubai. In India, Maaza was acquired by Coca-Cola India in 1993 from Parle-Bisleri along with other brands such as Limca, Citra, Thums Up and Gold Spot. ParleBisleri still owns the Maaza brand in select markets (such as the US) through Maaza Beverages Inc. Maaza has a distinct pulpy taste as compared to Frooti and tastes slightly sweeter than Slice. Slice was introduced in India in 1994. Over the years, the brand has launched several distinct ad campaigns. Building on its positioning of Pyaar Ho Jayega, last year, it signed on Bollywoods leading siren Katrina Kaif as its first brand ambassador. Incidentally, she will also be the face for Slice Mangola, the mango drink of Mumbai. Last year, Slice associated itself with Bollywood movies and tied up with Yashraj films Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. In 2008, Slice relaunched with a new logo and a catchy tagline Absolutely Mangoluscious.

A customer, also called client, buyer, or purchaser, is usually used to refer to a current or potential buyer or user of the products of an individual or organization, called the supplier, seller, or services. The word derives from "custom," meaning "habit"; a customer was someone who frequented a particular shop, who made it a habit to purchase goods of the sort the shop sold there rather than elsewhere, and with whom the shopkeeper had to maintain a relationship to keep his or her "custom," meaning expected purchases in the future. The slogans "the customer is king" or "the customer is god" or "the customer is always right" indicate the importance of customers to businesses - although the last expression is sometimes used ironically.

ADVERTISING
Advertising is helpful to the consumer and also to the producers through the advertisement producers provide information and create awareness about the products among the consumers. There are different forms of advertisements - TV, radio, poster, magazines, newspapers, banners, boards etc. Among these, the TV media is the most popular. The great personalities of India are the brand ambassadors of the soft drinks. Pepsi-Cola provides advertising, marketing, sales and promotional support to Pepsi-Cola bottlers and food service customers. This includes some of the world's best-loved and mostrecognized advertising. New advertising and exciting promotions keep Pepsi-Cola brands young. At the base of every beverage business lays the secret formula of success, the concentrate. In India Pepsi Food Ltd prepares the concentrate. The plant is located at village Channo in Punjab. The company manufactures and sells soft drink concentrate to Pepsi-Cola bottlers. The company also provides fountain beverage products. Pepsi has continuously focused on the current teen generation and their advertisement reflects in every possible way. The company changes its advertisement strategy and image to reflect the targets interests. The advertisement strategy includes cool, hip promos to attract more of the target audience. The advertisement is mostly creative and has different elements like, music, sports etc.

THREATS: o Now the consumers are moving towards fruit juices. o F & B industry is mature o Big threat is from its rival Coke. o Size of company will demand a varied marketing program ; social, cultural , economic , political and governmental constrains .
FINDINGS
The market share of pepsi is higher than the other products and among the products, pepsi- mirinda & slice largest selling product. Sale is based on the display, so soft-drinks market introduced racks. It is the part of advertising a nd other part of the advertising is glow-signboards. Chilling equipment are main part of sales promotion. Pepsi rack availability in the market was at the large scale. Right execution daily score sheet after being implemented in patna has now been taken up throughout Bihar. In some cases products of Coke and Pepsi are placed together in warm display as well as in the same Visi coolers. The visibility of the coke products is more attractive because of its promotional tools and schemes. Kinley water, Kinlery soda and Maaza tetra pack are not available at all the retail outlets. All the flavors are not available at all the outlets at the same time. In Big Bazaar, due to more margin provided by coca cola, the availability and visibility of its products is more effective that of pepsi. The coca cola is providing more facilities to retailers. They provide good after sale services.
Some of the retailers of Pepsi are not happy with the service rendered by our delivery van. pepsi give good amount to key customers as a marketing support while coke does not give good amount as a marketing support while coke does not give good amount as a marketing support.

CONCLUSION
(1)
The whole analysis shows that are only two products dominating in the soft drinks market Slice (Pepsico product) & Mazza (Coca cola product). There is neck-toneck competition between these two Proucts. (2) coke has invested more in the market. Distribution of - VISI Coolers and display of Glow Signs board is far more than Pepsi. So, more investment is needed to break the brand establishment of Mazza and Sprite. (3) In all the areas in Sahibabad, almost all the retailers are not satisfied with the distribution network of the Pepsi products. (4) Most of the retailers want glow signboard chilling equipments, which they are asking from long time. (5) (7) In Cola segment, pepsi and in lime segment, slice is the main competitor of coke. All the products of Pepsi like 7 up & Slice are not provided when the retailers demand it.
RECOMMODATION
(1)
Pepsi should come out with an advertisement, which can block the customers mind and can change the customers perception about the product.
(2)
Pepsi is sweet and low fizz soft drink that everybody knows, so lots of people do not like, therefore to catch the customers, Pepsi should come with more fizz like ThumsUp.
(3)
Executives should take the feedback from the service of the salesman and the distributors.
(4)
Salesman should have better interaction with the retailers which results in by company from time to time.
(5)
The criteria to provide Glow Signboard, Flax board, VISI Cooler, and OYC should be changed and a separate department should handle this.
(6)
All the Pepsi products should be provided at required level to snatch the competitors market e.g. 7 up for Sprite, Mirinda for Fanta and Slice for Mazza which is dominating the market at present.
LIMITATIONS
1. The sample size is large as the time constraints were there and mainly profile of the customer was very elegant so it is very tuff to get an personal interview. 2. Most of the outlets keeps their data very confidential and sharing their data is very critical issue so it is very tough to do the survey on all segments. 3. The survey was done on only self-individual class. It may be possible that this results could not represent the exact result because the survey done on random sampling method. 4. The competitors are not forthcoming with details of their policies as it is confidential information. 5. A hundred percent accuracy cannot be maintained while conducting the survey because the respondents do not have all the information at the time of the interview and they are able to give only approximate figures. 6. Since most parameters are qualitative as the research deals with relative terms, all the data cannot be converted in quantitative terms and hence an objective analysis is difficult to carry out. 7. At the time of conducting interviews some of the respondents were reluctant to divulge the exact reason for their separation from the company. 8. The database relied on at many places is secondary data. The to authenticity Secondary data is subject
