INTRODUCTION
I did market research on the topic of market share of coca cola and consumer behavior and channels of distribution. The reason for selecting this topic by the company because company wants to know his market share of coke after decreasing the selling price of all flavors in coke in the compare of Pepsi and company start a new flavor in 200 ml. So that company wants to know that how much demand having this new launched flavor. This new launched flavor very much preferred by consumer because its cost is only 5 rupees. So that most of person con spend enough less money and can take enjoy of cokes all flavor in 200ml.

Under channels of distribution company wants to know. The distribution of coke in compare of Pepsi, and also wants to know the retailer and whole seller are satisfied or not and also wants to know that how much retailer purchase coke by coke vehicle and how much retailer purchase coke by its own dealer. Thats why these topic given by company.

Distribution means the way be which the product reach to the hand of consumer these all process comes under the Distribution of Network. Good distribution network is essential for more sailing and customer satisfaction. If customer or retailer is not satisfy of your distribution net work. It reflect that companys Distribution is not good and some thing is wrong any when. The Distribution of Coca Cola of best.

The flavor reach in the market to the retailer by two medium. 1) By the company vehicle 2) Dealer Company vehicle and dealers both provided the flavors to the Retailer. Retailer sales the flavor to the consumer. This is the good marketing strategy.

SOFT DRINK MARKET IN INDIA

Today India is one of the most potential markets, with population of around 900 million people, the Indian soft drinks market was only of 200 cases per year. This was very low even compared to Pakistan and Philippines. Population and potential market are two major reasons for major multinational companies of entering India. They feel that a huge population coupled with low consumption can only lead to an increase in the soft drink market. Another increase in the sale of soft drinks in the scorching heat and the climate of India, which is suitable for high sale of soft drinks. All these factors together have contributed to a 30% growth in the soft drinks industry. If the demand continues growing at the same rate, within two years the volume could touch 1 billion cases. All these factors are the reasons for the entry two giant of the soft drink industry of the world to enter the Indian market. These two giants Pepsi and Coca-Cola, Themselves share 96% of the soft drink market share. Rest is shared by Cadburys Schweppes, Campa Cola and other soft drink brands. But was the scene same 20 years ago? The answer is No. 1970 was the year of pure soft drinks Campa cola and Parle people (Thums up and Limca).

Soft drink consists of a flavor base, sweetener and carbonated water. In general terms non-alcoholic drinks are considered as soft drinks this name soft drink was given by americans as against hard which is mainly alcoholic.

The major participants involved in the production and distribution of soft drink are concentrate and syrup producers, bottlers and retail channel. Concentrate producers manufacture basic soft drink flavours and retail channel refers to business location that tells or serves the products directly to consumers.

Soft drink is not a product, which a person plans to buy before hand, but is an impulse purchase. Lots of sale depends upon the strength of merchandizing done at the point of sale.

It all begin in 1977, a change in government at the center led the exit of coca-cola which preferred to quit rather to dilute its equity to 40% in compliance with the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). The first national cola drink to pop up was double seven. In the meantime, Pure Drinks, Delhi on cokes exit, switched over to Campa Cola.

The beginning of 1980s saw the birth of another cola drink, Thums up, Parle the Gold spot people, launched it in 1978-79, as Refreshing Cola. By the mid-eighties Mc Dowells launched Thrill, and by the late eighties there was Double Cola, which entered in India market, as a NRO-run out fit with its plant in Nasik { Maharastra }, in 1978 Parle, Indian soft drinks market (share 33%) with its gold spot and Limca brands. Later Thums Up also started Thums Up. At the same time the threat to the Indian soft drinks was that of fruit drinks. In 1988, fruit drinks market was valued at Rs. 40 crores and grew at the rate 20%.

Coca-Cola entered Indian by buying up to 69% of the 1,800 crore soft drink market { i.e. 5 Parle Export brands of Thums Ups Limca Gold spot, Citra & Maaza }.Today the scene has changed making it a direct battle between two giant Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The picture will become clearer by looking at the India market shares in the beverage industry.

One of the strongest weapons in Coke armory is the flexibility it has empowered its people with. In Coke every employee, may he

be a manager or salesman, have an authority to take whatever steps he or she feels will make the consumers aware of the brand and increase its consumption. Thus Coke believes in establishing and nurturing creditability of the salesman and making

commitment to grow business in accounts. All these factors together led to a high growth in the Indian market and constantly increasing market share.

COMPETITIVE ARENA
The soft drink market all over the world has been witnessing a neck to neck battle between the two major players, Coca-Cola and Pepsi since the very beginning. The thirst quenchers are trying hard to have the major chunk of the pie of carbonated soft drink market. Both the players are spending their energies in building capacity, infrastructure, promotional activities etc. Coca-Cola being 11 years older than Pepsi has dominated the scene in most of the soft drink markets in the world and enjoying leadership in terms of market share. But the Coca-Cola people are finding it hard to keep away Pepsi, which has been narrowing the gaps regularly. The two are posing threats to each other in every nook and corner of the world. While Coca-Cola has been earning most of its bread and butter through beverage sales, Pepsi has a multi products portfolio with some portion from the same business.

The two warriors are face to face once again here in india with different strategies and tactics to attack the rival. Coca-cola is focusing upon the joint ventures with the existing bottlers { fobo } franchise owned bottling operations to enhance its control on manufacturing and marketing of its products range and attain the quality standards of its class.

Countering it pepsi has taken the battle in its own hands by floating as investment of $ 95 billion to set pepsi company. India holdings, as subsidiary for { cobo } company owned bottling operations. Both the companies are following different path to reach the same destiny i.e. To fetch the bigger portion of aerated soft drink market. Both consider india a huge potential market, as per capita consumption here is a mere 3 serving annually against the world average of 80. Therefore, they are putting in their best efforts to woo the indian consumer who has to work for 1.5 hours to buy a bottle of soft drink. In comparison to the international norms minutes, a major hurdle to cross over for both the athletes for getting no.1 position comparison to the inter. Coca-cola is well set with its 53 bottling sites through out the country giving it an edge over competition by processing a well-built bottling and distribution set-up. On the other hand, pepsi, with two more years in india, has been able to set an image of a winner in india and has been able to get the pulse of the india soft drink market. The soft drink giants are leaving on stone unturned and her for the long terms.

Coca-cola has been penetrating the market through its wide product range with a determination to change consumption pattern

of soft drink in india. Firstly, they upgraded the whole industry by introduction 300 ml bottles, which in turn had given the industry a booming growth of 20% as compared to the earlier 5%. They want to develop a coca culture here and are working on a strategy to offer soft drink in every possible package. In coca-cola camp, the idea of competition has not come from pepsi, but from the other beverages such as tea, coffee, nimbu pani, water etc. Pepsi is quite aggressive in its approach to indian consumer. They are desperately working on the strategy to be winners in the hot cola war between two big barons. According to pepsi philosophy, its the madness that encourages executive to think, to conjure up those creative tactics to knock the fizz out their competition. Pepsi had plumbed a large on the visibility of its blue red and white logo. They have been going with aggressive marketing by putting amir khan, akshay kumar and their advertisement to endorse their brand, the role models for its targeted consumer the teenagers. They have increased the fizz in the market place by introducing the dispensers called fountain pepsi and has been enjoying a lead over its rival there.

Coca-cola on the other hand, has been working on the saying slow and steady wins the races side by retailing to every more of its competitor. They have procured the shield of thums up with a handsome market share in indian soft drink market.

Countering pepsis international commercial that used two chimpanzees to cock a snoop at coke, thums up come with the ad line, dont be bandar, taste the thunder. Also thums up has been positioned now very near to that young image of pepsi and giving it a though time.

These cool merchants have put everything on fire. It coke got the status of the official drink of wills. World cup, pepsi blushed as nothing official about it. As thums up projected as saaree jahan se achcha pepsi was passionate enough with freedom to be and now the yeh dil mange more when thums up came with thunder blast, the other offered pepsi stuff card. If red is meant for coke, pepsi has chosen to be blue.

C O K E S M A R K E T IN G S T R A T E G IE S
Coke decides on its marketing strategies at a national level and lends them a local flavor. For example, while festival mood plays a strong role in marketing, it is activated for Durga Puja in Calcutta, Dandiya in Gujarat, etc., Coke has its focus on the youth market in India.

As a first step toward catching the attention of the youth, coke signed on cricket heroes Saurav Ganguly and Javagal Srinath. It slowly started talking about youth passions like cricket, films, festivals and food. Soon the advertisements started giving the message, Eat Cricket, Sleep Cricket, Drink only Coca-Cola And now it has started modifying film hits to frame catch lines that appeal to the youth. This particular strategy has worked well for coke.

Coke is focused on distribution to ensure that its products are within customers reach. And it saves its focus has begun to pay it dividends. As per mid-1998 figures coke is selling as many bottles in the hinterland of punjab as it does the four metros.

THE FUTURE OF COCA COLA

While doing business overseas offers coke wonderful growth opportunities it also has its own disadvantages. The economic slowdown in various overseas markets and the strong dollar had their impact on coca-cola revenues and bottom line in 1998. But the company optimistic about the future.

M Douglas Investor, the Chief Executive Officer of the Coca-Cola Company says, This past year 1998 has been a challenging period for the Coca-Cola Company as economic environment became more uncertain in the later part of 1998, we strongly believe that our fundamental opportunities for long term growth have not changed.

As long as maximization of share holder wealth remain Cokes focus for its future is assured Goizueta had stated and proven to the world that focus on shareholder wealth does more good to the company than focus on revenues and it is not that coke does not enjoy volumes for it is worlds No.1 soft drink manufacture. It is not content with this title and is aiming at higher volumes year after year. Surely coke will continue to grow. Point on Roberto had

reduced the company basically to its trademark and the returns are so astronomical as to be off the boards. It just absolutely added a jet engine to their performance.

COCA COLA GLOBALIZATION STRATEGIES

The coca-cola company is global player and approximately 70 % of its volume and 80 % of its profit come from outside the united states of america. Although it was perceived as a standardized brand across the world, coca-cola had been quietly fine turning its international marketing strategies to suit the needs of individual national markets. Only the brand coca-cola, sprite and fanta were marketed globally. In latin america and europe, where a heavy consumer preference existed for lemon lime and orange sodas. Coke had developed a wide range of formulations and flavors to cater the needs of different countries. In ei salvador and venezuela, a version of fanta called fanta kolita a cream soda type of drink became extremely popular. Similarly, in indonesia coke had been selling pineapple and banana limca, maaza and thums up in 1993.

A 100 YEARS OF THE CURVY GLASS BOTTLE OF COCA COLA

Coca-Cola Company marks a mile stone on Wednesday, 24th March 1899 Chattanooga; Tenn where its first bottling plant was started 100 year ago by two men struck one of the most lucrative business deals in US history. Joseph whitehead and benjamin thomas offered coca-cola company owner asia candler a dollar for the right to bottle soft drinks in 1899. Today 1 billion soft drinks are sold each day in more than 200 countries around the world. Candler had purchase what would become the cola company for $2,300 eight years earlier from john pemberton, an atlanta phamacist who astonished the world.

Candler though the bottling venture would never succeed, but he signed the contract with white head and thomas any way, and the rest is history, bob lovell, vice president of marketing for coca-cola bottling company. United inc., said in telephone interview from chattanooga.

Lovell said thomas had seen cuban fields hand drinking pina fria a pineapple beverages, from bottles while he was Stationed in cuba during spanish american war. When he returned to chattanooga, he decided to pitch the idea of bottle soft drinks to coke, which was then sold only as a fountain beverage.

it occurred to him that coca-cola in bottles would be very popular, lovell said, mr. Candler did not see any future in it because the containers were not sound, but thats how it all came about. thomas and whitehead promised to pay one dollar for the right to bottle coca-cola, but legend has it that no money changed hands.

COKES BOTTLING STRATEGIES

In the soft drink business the bottlers are responsible significant extent for ensuring the availability of the products. Bottlers are supplied with concentrate to which they add aerated water and bother ingredients before packing and sealing either cans or bottles. Bottlers play a strategic role in the success of soft drinks companies and this was not far from Goizuetas mind. In 1986 the company merged some of its company owned bottling operations with two large ownership groups that had been put up for sale. All these bottling activities were combined to from its own subsidiary Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) to handle bottling operations. The Coca-Cola Company took 49 percent equity stake in Coca-Cola Enterprises enabling it to retain its own balance sheet.

Goal for the 90s
TO PLACE COCA-COLA WITHIN AN ARMS REACH OF DESIRE.

Consumer activity clusters : Grocery shopping Other shopping & services Eating and drinking Entertainment / Recreation / Leisure Travel / Transportation / Hospitality Educational At Work

The 3As :The strategy for reaching in creasing numbers of consumers in India is based on the belief that consumers will buy our products it they are Available, Affordable and Acceptable.

Strategies for the 3As

Focus on the consumer and customer. To provide quality customer services, and caring about the quality of performance in respective jobs. Caring enough about what we do, to it the best we know how.

The 3As is Coca-Cola underlying strategy for meeting its goal to reach increasing numbers of consumers. How does coke position its limited resources to help meet its good. Let us explore the specific ways in which the Coca-Cola system addresses each of the 3As :-

Availability
Some of the ways in which the Coca-Cola Company hopes to increase availability of its product include improved or innovative packaging, dispensing systems, distributions system, marketing.

Affordability
The ways to address affordability include pricing decisions, as well as resource management. To make its product available at a price

affordable to the consumer. Continually processes more efficient and therefore more cost-effective.

Acceptability
Making coca-cola brand products the beverage choice for any occasions depends on a variety of strategies to reach the target audience. The common strategies adopted to effect acceptability were though sponsorships, promotion youth market activities, community programs, and other activates.

DISTRIBUTION IN THE COCA-COLA SYSTEM

Getting Products to Market

One of the value of the coca-cola system is presence that cocacola should exist everywhere. In the words of former CEO-India operations Richard Nicholas, Our goal is to have coke available within an arms reach of desire. To fulfill this gool, coca-cola not only produces products, but also has an effective systems to distribute them all over India.

Distribution
Distribution sales + delivery + merchandising + local account management. Distribution of Cokes products includes the activities of sales, delivery merchandizing and local accounts management. These are two major types of distribution systems :(i) Direct and Indirect In direct distribution, the bottler partner direct control over the activities of sales, delivery, merchandizing and local account management.

In indirect distribution, an organization which is not a part of the coca-cola system has control of one or more of the distribution elements (sales, merchandizing and local

accounts managements).

With direct distribution there are two types of sales :Advanced sales and conventional sales. In conventional sales, all the distribution activities (Sales, Delivery, Merchandizing and Local Accounts Management) are performed by the same persons. In advanced sales, sales and delivery are performed by different people within the coca-cola system.

Difference between a customer and a consumers. a consumer is some one who drinks coca-cola products.

A customer is a business location which sells or serves cocacola products to consumers.

Merchandizing One the products are delivered to the customers they are promoted at the point-of-purchase to maximize the companys sales opportunities, merchandizing involves looking at the presentation of the products through the eyes of the consumers. It is an on-going process that help the company present its products properly to the consumers in the market place for instance, is the display attractive? Are the product neatly organized.

Presenting the products Coca-cola presents its products for sale in four different ways. They are as follows : Secondary display Coolers Vending machines Post mix / pre mix

Indias relationship with coca-cola Just after independence, the maharaja of patiala oversaw his coca-cola hoarding from his huge, ornate palace, coca-cola export representative frank harrold, was awed by the maharajas opulent life style. In 1993 after coca-cola returned to india after a 16 year absence (george fernandes threw the company out of the country in 1977 on the pre text that it had refuse to divalge its formula to indian officials), ceo of the coca-cola company, robesto boirueta salivated over a virtually untapped market of 840 million people.

TECHNIQUE INVOLVED IN DEFINING PROBLEMS

O BSERVE THE PRO BLEM Under this investigate by own observation without interview is the respondent. This also adopted by me by observation data can be collect more correct. It is depend upon ability of investigator. CO LLECT THE PROBLEM After collecting the data I considered that what is the problem for the company and when company ants to know his weakness. A N A L Y S IN G T H E P R O B L E M After collecting the problem I analysis the problem such as how many problems are general and how many are different from others and how many problem is considerable and solvable. T A K E S O L U T IO N After analyzing the problem I sow that 90% problem was general and I found 20% problem personal and I was found 10% problem as Genuine which is considerable and soluble. General solution solve the journal problem remaining 10% problems solution we found and then after we implement the solution. A P P L IC A T IO N O F S O L U T IO N After founding the solution we apply the solution and satisfy the customer & consumer.

GUIDELINES FOR CONSTRUCTING QUESTIONNAIRE / SCHEDULE

The researcher must pay attention to the following points in constructing an appropriate and effective questionnaire or a schedule: (1) The researcher must keep in view the problem he is to study for it provides the starting point for developing the Questionnaire / Schedule. He must be clear about the various aspects of his research problem to be dealt with in the course of his research project.

(2) Appropriate from of questions depends on the nature of information sought, the sampled respondents and the kind of analysis intended. The researcher must decide whether to use closed or open-ended questions. Questions should be simple and must be constructed with a view to their forming a logical part of a well thought out tabulation plan. The units of enumeration should also be defined precisely so that they can ensure accurate and full information.

(3) Rough draft of the Questionnaire / Schedule be prepared, giving due thought to the appropriate sequence of putting questions. Questionnaire or schedules pervasively drafted (if available) may as well be looked into at this stage.

(4) Researcher must invariably re-examine, and in case of need may revise the rough draft for a better one. Technical defects must be minutely scrutinised and removed.

(5) Pilot study should be undertaken for pre-testing the questionnaire. The questionnaire may be edited in the light of the results of the pilot study.

(6) Questionnaire must contain simple but straight forward directions for the respondents so that they may not feel any difficulty in answering the questions.

GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEWING

Interviewing is an art and one learns it by experience. However, the following points may be kept in view by an interviewer for eliciting the desired information: (1) Interviewer must plan in advance and should fully know the problem under consideration. He must choose a suitable time and place so that the interviewee may be at ease during the interview period. For this purpose some knowledge of the daily routine of the interviewee is essential.

(2) Interviewers approach must be friendly and informal. Initially friendly greetings in accordance with the cultural pattern of the interviewee should be exchanged and then the purpose of the interview should be explained.

(3) All possible effort should be made to establish proper rapport with the interviewee; people are motivated to communicate when the atmosphere is favourable.

(4) Interviewer must now that ability to listen with understudying respect and curiosity is the gateway to communication, and hence must act accordingly during the interview. For all this, the interviews must be intelligent and must be a man with self-restraint and self discipline.

(5) To the extent possible there should be a free-flowing interview and the questions must be well phrased in order to have full cooperation of the interviewee. But the interviewer must control the course of the interview in accordance with the objective of the study.

(6) In case of big enquiries, where the task of collating information is to be accomplished by several interviewers, there should be an interview guide to be observed by all so to ensure reasonable uniformity in respect of all salient points in the study.

There is only 20% brand loyal person. Remaining 80% impulse selling is going on. It means in india in cold drinks line which ever brand consumer see first of all that brand will demanded by user. The selling is high that particular brand. So i want to say that if. The

executive relation will goods from dealer, whole seller retailer. Then he will arrange coke brands on front of shop by which coke selling will improve. 4) Worm display 5) Cold display Proper shinage selling. Fulfil your commitment if executive promise to the customer of any type. Then executive shovel fulfil his promise, such as.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH Company product having a good brand name and trade mark. So that there is no such problem for convenes the user.

Being a franchise company product trade mark. Thats why its scope is worldwide.

Coca cola capturing near about 69% market in cold drinks line remaining 31% captured by its main competitor Pepsi. The reason behind that good supply and its all flavor like Thumsup, Limca, Fanta, Maaza and Sprite also asked by the user in Sahibabad Area.

Coca Cola good Brand Image not only in India rather all over the world. Thats why there is no need of Advertisement.

Company marketing policy is consumer oriented by doing mentioned M.R.P. and manufactured date.

 Company having expert management so that company can provides better goods & service for the ultimate user.

W EAKNESS The main weakness of the company is that company is not in position of provide all flavors to the customer daily or at a one time.

Customer is not happy from company marketing policy. He wants company will start special discount program or increase maximum retail price.

Most of the retailers problem is that no. company person comes at the shop for listening the problem.

Company top management not declare the scheme before one or two days. Thats why scheme catalogue not prepared by the lower level management. In this way retailers are not satisfy for company policy.

 Company management is not doing any thing for retailer. If management is not provide any relief then he will increase M.R.P.

O P P O R T U N IT Y
Company can increase his product selling by increasing plant capacity and manufacturing capacity.

Being a seasonal selling product provide all the flavor to the customer in hot session very necessary. It is the opportunity for the company.

By providing better goods & services company can increase his market share.

In present now the competitors are very less so that company can compromise its main competitor Pepsi and can take maximum profit.

THREAT
Company should do something for customer interest. Providing beneficial scheme and good relation to customer other wise its other competitor will develop and they will capture its market.

Cold Drinks selling is very much depend on customer or retailer so that retailer is not happy than sale can be effected in future.

In this time only two or three competitor are existing in the market. In the future the competitor can increase. So that company should prepare some future plan for maintaining its market share.

Some domestic competitor can develop in the market. Company should prepare long term future plan for permanently existing in Host Country.

RECOMMENDATION S

RECOMMENDATIONS
Company should prepare future plan for maintain selling in market. Because company competitor can increase and can capture the market.

Company should provide special benefit to the retailer. Other wise his interest will go down from cold drinks.

Present time competition is not high in this line because its competitor is only Pepsi. So that company can do compromise with Pepsi and both can increase products M.R.P.

Company should appointed a special representative for listening retailers problem and solve them. He can also find out some shortcomings of salesman & others.

In case of cold drinks selling mostly depend on retailer. So that his satisfaction needed.

 Test of all flavor like, Coke, Thumsup, Limca, Fanta, Maaza and Sprite should also good.

Defected goods should be returnable or changeable.

Good execution is a main factor in more selling good execution improves selling.

Sales executive & salesman relation and good behavior also provide effective guidelines in increasing selling.

For more selling company person should fulfil his commitment.

In Cold Drinks line brand loyalty found only 20%. So that which will be visible that will salable.
