“ COMPANY’S PROFILE “
History of coco cola
Doctor John Pemberton
Coca-Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta Georgia in May of 1886. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle; all this was done in his backyard. The name Coca Cola was actually given to John Pemberton by his bookkeeper Frank Robinson . Frank Robinson had excellent penmanship. He first scripted "Coca Cola" into the flowing letters which has become the famous logo we know and love today.
14
The soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886. About nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales were a loss. Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut. In 1887, another Atlanta pharmacist and businessman, Asa Candler bought the formula for Coca Cola from inventor John Pemberton for $2,300. By the late 1890s, Coca Cola was one of America's most popular fountain drinks; Candler's aggressive marketing of the product takes credit for that. With Asa Candler, now at the helm, the Coca Cola Company increased syrup sales by over 4000% between 1890 and 1900. Advertising was an important factor in John Pemberton and Asa Candler's success and by the turn of the century, the drink was sold across the United States and Canada. Coca Cola began selling syrup to independent bottling companies licensed to sell the drink. Still today, the US soft drink industry is organized on this principle .
15
EVOLUTION OF coca -cola Coca-ColaÂŽ originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.
1894 – A modest start for a Bold Idea In a candy store in Vicksburg, Mississippi, brisk sales of the new fountain beverage called Coca-Cola impressed the store's owner, Joseph A.Biedenharn. He began bottling Coca-Cola to sell, using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson. Biedenharn sent a case to Asa Griggs Candler, who owned the Company. Candler thanked him but took no action. One of his nephews already had urged that Coca-Cola be bottled, but Candler focused on fountain sales.
1899 The first bottling agreement Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee Believed they could build a business around bottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler,Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead obtained exclusiverights to bottle Coca-Cola across most of the United States (specifically excluding Vicksburg) for the sum of one dollar. A third Chattanoogalawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their venture.
16
1900-1909 ‌ Rapid growth The three pioneer bottlers divided the country into territories and sold bottling rights to local entrepreneurs. Their efforts were boosted by major progress in bottling technology, which improved efficiency and product quality. By 1909, nearly 400 Coca-Cola bottling plants were operating, most of them family-owned businesses. Some were open only during hot-weather months when demand was high. 1916 ‌ Birth of the contour bottle Bottlers worried that the straight-sided bottle for Coca-Cola was easily confused with imitators. A Group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute,Indiana won enthusiastic approval in 1915 and Was introduced in 1916. The contour bottle became one of the few packages ever granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most recognized icons in the world -even in the dark!
1920s ‌ Bottling overtakes fountain sales As the 1920s dawned, more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the U.S. Their ideas and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were 17
a huge hit after their 1923 introduction. A few years later, opentop metal coolers became the forerunners of automated vending machines. By the end of the 1920s, bottle sales of Coca-Cola exceeded fountain sales.
1920s and 30s ‌ International expansion Led by longtime Company leader Robert W. Woodruff,
Chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, the Company began a major push to establish bottling operations outside the U.S. Plants were opened in France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Belgium, Italy, Peru, Spain, Australia and South Africa. By the time World War II began, Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44 countries.
1940s ‌ Post-war growth During the war, 64 bottling plants were set up around the world to supply the troops. This followed an urgent request for bottling equipment and materials from General Eisenhower's base in North Africa. Many of these war-time plants were later converted to civilian use, permanently enlarging the bottling system and accelerating the growth of the Company's worldwide business. 18
1950s … Packaging innovations For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type -- the traditional 6.5-ounce contour bottle, or larger servings including 10-, 12- and 26-ounce versions. Cans were also introduced, becoming generally available in 1960.
1960s … New brands introduced Following Fanta® in the 1950s, Sprite®, Minute Maid®, Fresca® and TaB® joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb® and Mello Yello® were added in the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke® and Cherry Coke®, followed by POWERADE® and DASANI® in the 1990s. Today hundreds of other brands are offered to meet consumer preferences in local markets around the world. 1970s and 80s … Consolidation to serve customers
As technology led to a global economy, the retailers who sold Coca-Cola merged and evolved into international mega-chains. Such customers required a new approach. In response, many small and medium-size bottlers consolidated to better serve giant international customers. The Company encouraged and invested 19
in a number of bottler consolidations to assure that its largest bottling partners would have capacity to lead the system in working with global retailers.
1990s ‌ New and growing markets
Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or underdeveloped for decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company invested heavily to build plants in Eastern Europe. And as the century closed, more than $1.5 billion was committed to new bottling facilities in Africa.
21st Century The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local communities. This heritage serves the Company well today as people seek brands that honor local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was true a century ago, strong locally based relationships between Coca- Cola bottlers, customers and communities are the foundation on which the entire business grows.
20
2001 … launched the new fridge pack in USA a thinner longer 12 pack design.
2005 … innovative aluminum contour bottles introduced commonly called M5 as the magnificent five bottles., Coca Cola zero a zero calorie coca cola with real coca cola taste launched.
2006 … coca cola turns 120. Launches the “every drop counts” campaign to make the consumers remind of the variety of products coca cola offers.
2007 … launches the PET bottle which uses 5% less plastic than the other PET bottles. Opens up new world of coca cola in Atlanta Georgia on may 24th.
21
Brands of Coca-Cola Coca-Cola Zero® has been one of the most successful product launch hes in Coca Cola’s history. In 2007, Coca Cola’s sold nearly 450 million cases globally. Put into perspective, that's roughly the same size as Coca Cola’s total business in the Philippines, one of our top 15 markets. As of September 2008, Coca-Cola Zero is available in more than 100 countries.
Energy Drinks For those with a high-intensity approach to life, Coca Cola’s brands of Energy Drinks contain ingredients such as ginseng extract, guarana extract, caffeine and B vitamins.

Coca-Cola速 And The Olympic Games
Coca-Cola and the International Olympic Committee Partnership Renewal On August 1, 2005, The Coca-Cola Company and the International Olympic Committee announced the renewal of their historic partnership for an unprecedented 12 years.

25

26
coca-cola in India
Coca-Cola was the leading soft drink brand in India until 1977 when it left rather than reveals its formula to the government and reduces its equity stake as required under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) which governed the operations of foreign companies in India. After a 16-year absence, Coca-Cola returned to India in 1993, cementing its presence with a deal that gave Coca-Cola ownership of the nation's top soft-drink brands and bottling network. Coke’s acquisition of local popular Indian brands including Thums Up (the most trusted brand in India21), Limca,Maaza, Citra and Gold Spot provided not only physical
27
manufacturing,bottling, and distribution assets but also strong consumer preference. Thiscombination of local and global brands enabled Coca-Cola to exploit the benefits of global branding and global trends in tastes while also tapping into traditional domestic markets. 84 Leading Indian brands joined the Company's international family of brands, including Coca- Cola, diet Coke, Sprite and Fanta, plus the Schweppes product range. In 2000, the company launched the Kinley water brand and in 2001, Shock energy drink and the powdered concentrate Sunfill hit the market. From 1993 to 2003, Coca-Cola invested more than US$1 billion in India, making it one of the country’s top international investors.22 By 2003, Coca- Cola India had won the prestigious Woodruf Cup from among 22 divisions of the Company based on three broad parameters of volume, profitability, and quality. Coca-Cola India achieved 39% volume growth in 2002 while the industry grew 23%
28
nationally and the Company reached breakeven profitability in the region for the first time.23 Encouraged by its 2002 performance, Coca-Cola India announced plans to double its capacity at an investment of $125 million (Rs. 750 crore) between September 2002 and March 2003.24 Coca-Cola India produced its beverages with 7,000 local employees at its twenty-seven whollyowned bottling operations supplemented by seventeen franchisee-owned bottling operations and a network of twentynine contractpackers to manufacture a range of products for the company. The complete manufacturing process had a documented quality control and 84 assurance program including over 400 tests performed throughout the process The complexity of the consumer soft drink market demanded a distribution process to support 700,000 retail outlets serviced by a fleet that includes 10- ton trucks, open-bay three wheelers, and trademarked tricycles and pushcarts that were used to navigate
29
the narrow alleyways of the cities.25 In addition to its own employees, Coke indirectly created employment for another 125,000 Indians through its procurement, supply, and distribution networks.
global community with the world’s largest selling soft drink concentrates since 1886, returned to India in 1993 after a 16 year hiatus, giving a new thumbs up to the Indian soft drink market. In the same year, the Company took over ownership of the nation’s top soft-drink brand and bottling network. It’s no wonder our brands have assumed an iconic
status in the minds of the world’s consumers.
30
A Healthy Growth to The Indian Economy Ever since, Coca-Cola India has made significant investments to build and continually consolidate its business in the country, including new production facilities, waste water treatment plants, distribution systems, and marketing channels.
Coca-Cola India is among the country’s top international investors, having invested more than US$ 1 billion in India in the first decade, and further pledged another US$100 million in 2003 for its operations.
A Pure Commitment to The Indian Economy The Company has shaken up the Indian carbonated drinks market greatly, giving consumers the pleasure of world-class drinks to fill up their hydration, refreshment, and nutrition needs. It has also been instrumental in giving an exponential growth to the country’s job listings.
31
Creating Enormous Job Opportunities With virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola being made in India, the business system of the Company directly employs approximately 6,000 people, and indirectly creates employment for more than 125,000 people in related industries through its
vast
procurement,
supply,
and
distribution
system.
The Indian operations comprises of 50 bottling operations, 25 owned by the Company, with another 25 being owned by franchisees. That apart, a network of 21 contract packers manufacture a range of products for the Company. On the distribution front, 10-tonne trucks – open bay threewheelers that can navigate the narrow alleyways of Indian cities – constantly keep our brands available in every nook and corner of the country’s remotest areas. These are only some of the facts that speak about our commitment to the growth of the Indian Economy. 32

Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd maintained its leading position in soft drinks in India, followed by PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt Ltd in 2006. Whilst the retail volume shares of Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India slipped in 2006, as a result of the growing health concerns caused by the aftermath of the pesticides controversy, both maintained a comfortable lead over the other manufacturers. Parle ,Bisleri Ltd has steadily gained shares from the carbonates giants over the review period, to emerge as the third ranked company in 2006. The battleground for beverages has moved from carbonates to bottled water and fruit/vegetable juice, with manufacturers turning their attention towards these healthier beverages, as consumer interest continues to surge forward. A number of new players have entered fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water, vying for a slice of the growing pie. 52
While cricket had always been the most popular sport in India, with new technology coming into cricket from coverage to sports gear to day/night versions of the game, it was set to acquire the status of a religion in the subcontinent. Pepsi picked up the opportunity early on by not only contracting the rights to all Tests and One Day Internationals (ODIs) played in India, but also signing up top performers early such as Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid and creating some very cutting edge and memorable advertising campaigns with them. The distribution network of Coca cola had 6.5 lakh outlets across the country , which the company is planning to increase to 8 lakhs . On the other hand Pepsi Co's distribution network had 6 lakh outlets across the country which it is planning to increase to 7.5 Lakh .

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK HCCBPL has a wide and well-managed network of salesmen appointed for taking up the responsibility of distribution of products to diverse parts of the cities. The distribution channels are constructed in such a way that the demand of customers is fulfilled at the right place and the right time when they need it. A typical distribution chain at HCCBPL would be:
Production --- Plant Warehouse --- Depot Warehouse --- Distribution Warehouse --- Retail Stock --- Retail Shelf --- Consumer
The customers of the Company are divided into different categories and different routes, and every salesman is assigned to one particular route, which is to be followed by him on a daily basis. A detailed and wellorganized distribution system contributes to the efficiency of the salesmen. It also leads to low costs, higher sales and higher efficiency thereby leading higher profits to the firm.
57
SWOT ANALYSIS 1. STRENGTHS:路 DISTRIBUTION NETWORK: The Company has a strong distribution network consisting of a number of efficient salesmen, 700,000 retail outlets and 8000 distributors. The distribution fleet includes different modes of distribution, from 10-tonne trucks to open-bay three wheelers that can navigate through narrow alleyways of Indian cities and trademarked tricycles. 路 STRONG BRANDS: The Coca-Cola has been named the world's top brand for a fourth consecutive year in a survey by consultancy Interbrand. It was estimated that the Coca-Cola brand was worth $70.45billion. People all over the world enjoy coca cola products more than 1.3 billion times per day. 路 COST OF OPERATIONS: The production, marketing and distribution systems are very efficient due to forward planning and maintenance of consistency of operations, which minimizes wastage of both time and resources, leads to lowering of costs. 58
2: WEAKNESSES: · LOW EXPORT LEVELS: The brands produced by the company are brands produced world wide thereby making the export levels very low. In India, there exists a major controversy concerning pesticides and other harmful chemicals in bottled products including Coca-Cola.Therefore, people abroad, are apprehensive about Coca-Cola products from India. . SMALL SCALE SECTOR RESERVATIONS LIMIT ABILITY TO INVEST AND ACHIEVE ECONOMIES OF SCALE: The Company’s operations are carried out on a small scale and due to Government restrictions and ‘red-tapism’, the Company finds it very difficult to invest in technological advancements and achieve economies of scale.
3: OPPORTUNITIES : · LARGE DOMESTIC MARKETS: Coca-Cola India claims a 60.1 per cent share of the soft drinks market; this includes a 42 per cent share of the cola market. Other products account for 18.1 per cent market share, chiefly led by Limca. 59
路 EXPORT POTENTIAL: The Company can come up with new products, which are not manufactured abroad, like Maaza etc and export them to foreign nations. It can come up with strategies to eliminate apprehension from the minds of the people towards the Coke products produced in India. 路 HIGHER INCOME AMONG PEOPLE: Development of India as a whole has lead to an increase in the per capita income thereby causing an increase in disposable income. The beverage industry can take advantage of such a situation and enhance their sales.
4: THREATS: 路 IMPORTS: As India is developing at a fast pace, the per capita income has increased over the years .If consumers shift onto imported beverages rather than have beverages manufactured within the country, it could pose a threat to the Indian beverage industry as a whole in turn affecting the sales of the Company.
60
· TAX AND REGULATORY SECTOR: The tax system in India is accompanied by a variety of regulations at each stage on the consequence from production to consumption. Therefore, this can limit the growth of the Company and pose problems. · SLOWDOWN IN RURAL DEMAND: Low per capita disposable income, large number of daily wage earners, poor roads; power problems; and inaccessibility to conventional advertising media. All these problems might lead to a slowdown in the demand for the company’s products. · CHANGING OF CONSUMERS PREFERENCE: The Company should keep a eye on the changing preferences of the consumers.
61
Challenges and Risks Being a global company provides unique opportunities for their Company. Challenges and risks accompany those opportunities. Their management has identified certain challenges and risks that demand the attention of the nonalcoholic Beverages segment of the commercial beverages industry and their Company. Of these, their key challenges and Risks are discussed below :
Evolving Consumer Preferences: Consumers want more choices. They are impacted by shifting consumer Demographics and needs, on-the-go lifestyles, aging populations in developed markets and consumers who are empowered with more information than ever. They are committed to generating new avenues for growth through their core brands with a focus on diet and light products. They are also committed to continuing to expand the Variety of choices they provide to consumers to meet their needs, desires and lifestyle choices. 62
Increased Competition and Capabilities in the Marketplace: Their Company is facing strong competition from some wellestablished global companies and many local participants. They must continue to selectively expand into other profitable segments of the non-alcoholic beverages segment of the commercial beverages industry and strengthen their capabilities in marketing and innovation in order to maintain their brand loyalty and market share. All these challenges and risks—obesity and inactive lifestyles, water quality and quantity, evolving Consumer preferences, and increased competition and capabilities in the marketplace— have the potential to Have a material adverse effect on the non-alcoholic beverages segment of the commercial beverages industry anon their Company; however, they believe their Company is well positioned to appropriately address these challenges And risks.
63
Criticisms relating to Coca Cola The Coca-Cola Company and its products have been criticized by various sources for various reasons including negative health effects resulting from consumption of its products, exploitative labor practices, high levels of pesticides in its products, building plants in Nazi Germany which employed slave labor, environmental destruction, monopolistic business practices, hiring paramilitary units to murder union leaders, and marketing unhealthy products to children.
64
Environmental issues In India, there exists widespread concern over how CocaCola is produced. In particular, it is feared that the water used to produce Coke may contain unhealthy levels of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. It has also been alleged that due to the amount of water required to produce Coca-Cola, aquifers are drying up and forcing farmers to relocate.
Pesticide use In 2003, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a nongovernmental organisation in New Delhi, said aerated waters produced by soft drinks manufacturers in India, including multinational giants Pepsico and Coca-Cola, contained toxins including lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos — pesticides that can contribute to cancer and a breakdown of the immune system. Tested products included Coke, Pepsi, and several other soft drinks (7Up, Mirinda, Fanta, Thums Up, Limca, Sprite), many produced by The Coca-Cola Company. 65
CSE found that the Indian produced Pepsi's soft drink products had 36 times the level of pesticide residues permitted under European Union regulations; Coca Cola's 30 times. CSE said it had tested the same products in the US and found no such residues. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo angrily denied allegations that their products manufactured in India contained toxin levels far above the norms permitted in the developed world. David Cox, Coke's Hong Kong-based communications director for Asia, accused Sunita Narain, CSE's director, of "brand jacking" — using Coke's brand name to draw attention to her campaign against pesticides. Narain defended CSE's actions by describing them as a natural follow-up to a previous study it did on bottled water.
In 2004, an Indian parliamentary committee backed up CSE's findings, and a government-appointed committee was tasked with developing the world's first pesticide standards for soft drinks. Coke and PepsiCo oppose the move, arguing that lab tests aren't reliable enough to detect minute traces of pesticides in complex drinks like soda. The Coca-Cola 66
Company has responded that its plants filter water to remove potential contaminants and that its products are tested for pesticides and must meet minimum health standards before they are distributed. Coca-Cola had registered a 15 percent drop in sales after the pesticide allegations were made in 2003.
As of 2005, Coke and Pepsi together hold 95% market share of soft-drink sales in India.
In 2006, the Indian state of Kerala banned the sale and production of Coca- Cola, along with other soft drinks, due to concerns of high levels of pesticide residue On Friday, September 22, 2006, the High Court in Kerala overturned the Kerala ban ruling that only the federal government can ban food products.
67
BENCHMARK
Cocacola ranks no.1 brand in the world by the business world survey followed by companies like Microsoft and IBM. Cocacola is the market leader in the whole world in beverage industry. Business week magazine ranks Cocacola on 4th position in Indian FMCG industry. Cocacola enjoys approx 60% market share in Indian beverage Industry.
68
INTIAL DIFFICULTIES From a historical standpoint, Coca-Cola and Pepsi were facing obstructions even before entering the market in the late 1980’s. Coca-Cola’s past venture in India had ended on bad terms with the Indian government BEVERAGES Alcoholic Non-Alcoholic Carbonated Non-Carbonated Cola Non-Cola Non-Cola
when they refused to offer up their trade secrets. During the absence of foreign investment in the soft drink industry in India a local company, Parle, became the market leader. Parle invested a great deal into their leading brand, Thums Up, and played a dominant role in the soft drink industry until the liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991. After this time many of the political and legal obstacles facing Coca-Cola and Pepsi were lessened.
69
POLITICAL CHALLENGES
Other political challenges hindered the success of Coca-Cola and Pepsi in India as well. In 2003, when the United States and Britain invaded Iraq, the All-India Anti-Imperialist Forum called a boycott on goods from America and India. Indian’s protested American companies for the war and specifically targeted Coca-Cola and Pepsi products. While the war was beyond control for these two companies, management perhaps could’ve done more to not only attempt to predict the backlash from Indian consumers due to the war, but also could’ve created advertisement campaigns to address the situation.
While political and legal factors produced problems for Coca-Cola and Pepsi, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi did a lot of things to prevent that situation from happening. Both companies heavily participated in the cultural festival of Navratri in western India to promote their products and create brand awareness in a culturally traditional setting. 70
PRICING POLICY FOR INDIAN MARKET Coca-Cola and Pepsi also made the right moves by adapting to cultural barriers in India. One such barrier was the affordability of products for Indians. Because India is a country where people are known to live on very little a day, the idea of getting people to spend what little they have on a soft drink could be quite a stretch. However Coca-Cola India went with an aggressive pricing policy and reduced the price of their soft drinks in 2003 from 15% to 25% nationwide. To compete competitively in the market, Pepsi reduced their prices as well. This move allowed both companies to offer products that were affordable to the target market in India but also encouraged more Indians to consume Pepsi and Coca-Cola products.
Both companies also created smaller sized bottles to allow for lower prices for Indian consumers. Coca-Cola and Pepsi created bottles ranging in size from 200 ml to 500 ml to adapt to cultural needs and increase their sales. By offering smaller sized bottles many consumers also increased the frequency in which they were purchasing the soft drinks.
71
PROMISE OF COKE The basic proposition of our business is simple, solid and timeless. When we bring refreshment, value, joy and fun to our stakeholders, then we successfully nurture and protect our brands, particularly Coca-Cola. That is the key to fulfilling our ultimate obligation to provide consistently attractive returns to the owners of our business.
TARGET MARKET Coke’s commercials basically based on young generations, So, the young generation is the target market of Coke because they want to represent Coke with the youth and energy but they also consider about the old people they take then as a co-target market.
72
EXPANDING TARGET MARKET In last 2 years Coke has come back in aggressive manner. · Attractive brand name · Brand differentiating Attractive Brand Name Now the consumers know the Name of Coke, because Coke is the name, which is the most popular after the word “ok”. So people can better differentiate brands with each other. Brand Differentiation Now different companies have got different brand names. So, people can distinguish between brands. Two major brands “coke” and “Pepsi” also have brand names.
73
THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRICE Opportunities If Coke is considered a luxury product. Then there is the tax rate system 15% - sales tax 20% - excise duty 27% - goes to government 03% - In making Budget After paying all these taxes coke has to pay electricity charges. We have to spend on distributions. After paying all these expenses Coke’s margin squeezed and consumers have to pay for increasing tariffs. These are the opportunities through which we can increase the price and can get profits.
Threats There are much more threats in increasing prices. Because same problem of substitute. If Coke increase the price lets say 1 rupee. Then people definitely won’t go for coke. They have the best substitute of Coke that is Pepsi. So these are the threats in increasing prices. Coke will lose the margin of its profit and can face loss.
74
MARKETING STRATEGY
Our local marketing strategy enables Coke to listen to all the voices around the world asking for beverages that span the entire spectrum of tastes and occasions. What people want in a beverage is a reflection of who they are, where they live, how they work and play, and how they relax and recharge. Whether you're a student in the United States enjoying a refreshing Coca-Cola, a woman in Italy taking a tea break, a child in Peru asking for a juice drink, or a couple in Korea buying bottled water after a run together, we're there for you. We are determined not only to make great drinks, but also to contribute to communities around the world through our commitments to education, health, wellness, and diversity. Coke strives to be a good neighbor, consistently shaping our business decisions to improve the quality of life in the communities in which we do business. It's a special thing to have billions of friends around the world, and we never forget it. 75

The conclusion of the study is that in these 22 villages there are total 375 outlets out of which 228 outlets are coke exclusive,12 outlets are pepsi exclusive,46 are are in shared state and rest 89 outlets not selling any cold drink.
107
61% market is captured by coke, 3% market is captured by pepsi, 12% market is in shared and 24% market still not selling any cold drink. Therefore , this % of market yet not covered by any soft drink company. Hence ,There is huge potential area that is of 24% in these rural markets .So, company can expand Its market share by capturing this potential market as soon as because competitors having same eye on this market. In this research I found that only 30% retailers are satisfy outher wise other 70% are unsatisfied by the company and they sale coco cola products just due due to its market demand . They were unsatisfied due to company’s schemes , hordings ,rack,stand, counter ,cooling equipments and normally products are not available at the delivery person according to their demand .

FINDINGS
The most popular flavour is Thums up! In the whole market. Coco-Cola is demanded as a substitute of Thums Up! The second most popular flavour is Sprite. Thums Up! Has the highest sale from Coco-Cola company. Pepsi provides more schemes then Coco-Cola. In the peak season retailers facing problem of cooling and storage of bottles, they need an colling equipment as a VisiCooler. In rural market : » Thums Up! , Sprite & Coca-Cola are in huge demand. » Limca & Fenta were less demanded . » Mazza & Minute pulpy orange having neglegeable sale.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The company must try to make different brands of coco-cola available at every retail outlet whether it is large or small,otherwise the consumer may go for substitute. Sales people and delivery persons should monitor the market whether stocks are available or not and they deliver to each and every retailer of coke when they do supply. Company can also provide the racks , boards , counter and stands by this retailer feels that company provide them other then revenue so,it becomes company’s satisfied retailer Company should do this because it is also a mean of Advertising. Display material should be provided to the retailers on more regular basis to increase the sales level. Maintenance work of Vigicooler; i.e. Staplizer & cooling problem are common ,company must improved it. The company should take steps to replace damaged or unsellable & less water content coco-cola goods frequently from the retailers.
