12. Competitive advantage in the Marketing strategy of Pepsi Collaborative customer relationship:  Believing in participative marketing campaigns has helped Pepsi in understanding the changing needs of the customers and segments/ potential group of customers in different economies. Strong Parent company : Pepsico being present in more than 200 countries and handling 22 brands in the food & beverages segment is the leading player in the market with their facilities across the globe. Pepsi is financially strong company offerings products in the food & beverages segment globally in large SKU’s (Stock Keeping Units). Distribution strategy in the Marketing strategy of Pepsi Whether it’s an urban metro or rural region, developed or developing, Pepsi has different models of distribution to make the products available to the end user. In many countries, its products are distributed through Direct-store-delivery network the one, who are independent bottlers & distributors, third-party distribution channel to wholesalers, retailers and shops which is in corner of the country.  E-commerce sites, supermarkets are also the distribution points of Pepsi.

13. Competitive analysis in the Marketing strategy of Pepsi – Big giants such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, Mondelez etc.in the non-alcoholic beverage market have a similar or same strategy to that peers. The only way to differentiate the offerings & retain customers is the strong brand building activities, creating a pull in the market. Competition from local players and counterfeit products are the major issue Pepsi is facing. In the Cola market, the main competitor of Pepsi is Coca-Cola. Customer analysis in the Marketing strategy of Pepsi A customer of Pepsi is retail customers and the resellers. In the reseller segment grocery stores, wholesalers, distributors, convenience stores, Pops & moms store, e-commerce e- tailers are the customers of the Pepsi. In Retail segment, customers from all age groups are the potential customers since it’s a mass market product. Some of their products are specifically meant for some section of the society like Pepsi diet & Zero-O- Sugar for all those who are health conscious .

14. BCG MATRIX Pepsi and Diet Pepsi (Pepsi Zero Sugar) are the Cola beverages in which Pepsi deals in. The offerings of PepsiCo under the Pepsi brand are Stars in the BCG matrix due to its popularity among the youth and the emotional connect with the masses in their special moments & celebrations.

19. SALES & DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL OF PEPSICO

20. Sales & distribution Channel of Pepsico (Contd.) Company: PepsiCo India provides concentrates to all the bottling plants in the Country. COBO: Company owned bottling operations, operating directly under the company. Out of 32 bottling plants, PepsiCo owns 15. FOBO: Franchisee owned bottling operations. VBL has 17 bottling plants in the country. Warehouses: Company or Franchisee owned warehouses spread over various locations. Stocks are sent from the bottling plants to these warehouses, from where they are sent to the C&F centres and distributors. C&F Centre: Biggest centre in the distribution network and receive proper assistance from the company (either FOBO or COBO). The C&F centre is owned by a private player and not by the company. The delivery vans are owned by the company and the salesman at the C&F points are on the company payroll.

Historically, VBL has been the sole franchisee and licensee with respect to it's licensed territories ans sub-territories.

22. QPDS Scheme

23. PROCESS OF QPDS At first I had to go to the outlets for giving the description of the QPDS scheme(7-Up display dhamaka ). If they agreed to follow this offer the sales person took the order from retailer according to the demand of the customer. According to the QPDS scheme exact amount of bottles(24 bottles) were shown at the front of the store and 24 bottles were arranged in visi -cooler. I followed the whole process if there are any problem in the process or not.

24.   From the survey, I can conclude that PepsiCo sell most of its products through eatery and convenience shop. Performance level of Visi Cooler given by PepsiCo is excellent. Majority of the retailers sell about 2-4crates per day. PepsiCo try to solve the problem of the retailers with in the duration of 1 to 2 days of time and they take care that the retailer does not face any shortage of any of the product. Almost all the retailer are the opinion that they haven’t run out the stock and PepsiCo has delivered products quickly to them . Free bottles on crates and brand display schemes are most sought scheme by the PepsiCo retailers. The sales of the PepsiCo products are high during April to June. The advertisements done by PepsiCo have a huge impact on sales and the retailers are satisfied with the promotional techniques adopted by PepsiCo. FINDINGS

25. CONCLUSION PepsiCo is selling most of its products through eatery and convenience outlet; PepsiCo should try its sales through the other format of outlet. As it is evident from the survey that only Pepsi and Mountain Dew are the highest selling brands; PepsiCo must focus on increasing the sales of Mirinda by offering the retailer’s handsome margin on it and by using more advertisement and promotion of this brand. PepsiCo should maintain sufficient inventory of their product during the summer season to their manufacturing plant. The PepsiCo retailer should display the more crates within the premises of their shop, so that it would be visible to the customer and it will lead to generate more sales in the outlet. It is not just enough to devise attractive schemes for the retailers; the company should also ensure that it is being implemented properly and retailers get what they promised off.
