products.

perfectly true but this also depends on the availability of good quality products and

excellent services, which further attract and add a golden opportunity for huge sales.

HISTORY OF COCA-COLA

This history begins in Atlanta, Georgia on May 8, 1886, when a pharmacist

called Dr. John Smith Pemberton first mixed Coca-Cola in his back yard. This

formula, which was made from carbonated water, cane sugar syrup, caffeine, extracts

of kola nuts and cola leaves, was brought to the nearby Jacobs’ Pharmacy where it

made its Debut as a soft drink the same day, selling for only 5 cent. His bookkeeper

named this drink “Coca-Cola” after the first two ingredients and the same distinctive

script he wrote it in is the same logo they use to this day.

In January 1893 Coca-Cola was registered with the U.S. patent office. Later

on in 1915 the Root glass company created the famous contour glass bottle

for Coca-Cola in 1915.

In 1917 Coca-Cola was found to be the world’s most recognized trademark

with a record of 3 million Coke’s sold per day. Unfortunately, John

Pemberton fell ill, and did not live to see his product’s success.

Sadly, in the first year of Coke’s existence, Pemberton and his partner only

made $50. Pemberton sold two third of his business in 1888 to cover his

losses and keep the business afloat.

He died later that year, and Mr. Candler, an Atlanta druggist, purchased total

interest in Coca-Cola for an unbelievable $2,300 in 1891. In 1891, Candler

and his brother formed the Coca-Cola Company.

EARLY GROWTH

[11]

Page 12: Market Share of Coca-cola

In 1893 Candler registered Coca-Cola as a patented trademark. He also

responded to growing concern over the dangers of cocaine by reducing the

amount of coca in the drink to a trace. However, he kept some coca extract in

Coca-Cola so the name would accurately describe the drink. Candler only had

a patent on the name, and not the drink syrup that is, the drink’s base,

containing all the ingredients minus carbonated water.

He figured that keeping the Coca in his formula would legally allow the

company to distinguish its drink from imitations. Other companies also

produced soda drink made with cola nut extract. In particular, the Pepsi-Cola

Company would become Coca-Cola Company’s major competitor over the

next few decades.

Candler also spent more than $11,000 on his first massive advertising

campaign in 1892. The Coca-Cola logo appeared across the country painted

as a mural on walls; displayed on posters and soda such as calendars and

drinking glasses. In addition, Candler was the first person ever to use coupons

to gain customers for a product. He distributed flyers offering free soda

fountain glasses of Coca-Cola to people visiting his drugstore.

In 1894 the Coca-Cola Company opened its first Coke syrup production plant

outside of Atlanta, in Dallas, Texas. That same year a candy storeowner in

Vicksburg, Mississippi, installed bottling machines and produced the first

bottled Coke. It had previously been sold only at soda fountains. By 1895 the

drink was sold in all U.S. states and territories.

In 1899 lawyers Benjamin Thomas and Joseph Whitehead of Chattanooga,

Tennessee, bought the exclusive right to distribute Coke syrup to bottles

throughout most of the country for only on dollars, at the time, Candler saw

little profit in bottling and was more than willing to give up that part of the

business.

In 1915 the Root Glass Company created a couture glass bottle for Coke, its

design based on the curvature of a coca bean. This bottle design became a

[12]

Page 13: Market Share of Coca-cola

Coke trademark worldwide. The same year, Candler retired from the

company, passing it on to his children and moving into polities. He was

elected mayor of Atlanta in 1916.

In 1919 the Candler family sold Coca-Cola to businessman Ernest Woodruff

of Columbus, Georgia, for $25 million. Woodruff son, Robert, was elected

company president in 1923. Robert Woodruff was a skilled marketer, and he

put more of the company’s resources into market research than manufacturing

Coke.

WAR TIME DEVELOPMENT

During World War II (1939-1945), Woodruff also boosted Coke’s popular

image in the United States by pledging that his company would provide Coke

to every U.S.

soldier. The company did not limit itself, however, to only doing business that

would increase its success in America. In the period leading up to the war,

between 1930 and 1936, it had set up a division of the company in Germany,

and it continued that

venture during the war. It recreated its image as a German company and

allowed the Germans to produce all but two, secret, Coca-Cola ingredients in

their own factories.

In 1941 the German company’s president, Max Keith, developed Fanta

orange soda using orange flavoring and all the German-made Coke

ingredients. The Coca-Cola Company’s wartime efforts helped it expend its

global market, often with the economic support of the U.S. government.

By the end of the war in 1945, it had established 64 overseas bottling plants.

The same year the company registered a patent on Coca-Cola’s popular

nickname, COKE.

POSTWAR GROWTH

[13]

Page 14: Market Share of Coca-cola

In 1955 Robert Woodruff retired as the Coca-Cola Company’s president.

Candler and Woodruff are remembered as the two most important figures in

the company’s early growth, both for their contributions to the company and

their considerable fortunes donated to the city of Atlanta. After Woodruff

departure, the company began to diversify by producing new products,

acquiring new business, and entering new international markets.

In 1960 the Coca-Cola Company purchased the Minute Maid Corp. producer

of fruit juices and began offering Coke in cans. Between 1960 and 1963 it

also launched four new soft drink in United States: Fanta, an orange soda;

Sprite, a lemon-lime soda; Diet Cola; Diet grapefruit-flavored soda. In 1964

the company acquired the Duncan foods crop. In 1967, it created the Coca-

Cola foods division by merging its Duncan and Minute Maid operations.

In the late 1960s, Coca-Cola faced difficulties in some of its foreign markets.

When the company built a bottling plant in Israel at the outset of the Arab-

Israel War, the governments of all Arab League nations banned the

production and sale of Coke. A year later the company withdrew from its

markets in India when that country’s

government requested that Coca-Cola reduces its equity in joint ventures to

40 percent. The company refused to relinquish so much control over those

operations.

In 1977 Coca-Cola began packaging Coke and other drinks in two-liter plastic

bottles. The popularity of these large bottles grew over time, and their sales

earned the company new project, primarily in small specialty and

convenience stores.

In 1982 the company introduced Diet Coke, which soon becomes the best-

selling diet soft drink in the world. Also in 1982, Coca-Cola purchased the

motion-picture company, Columbia Picture Industries, also known as Tri-star

Pictures, for almost $700 million. Two year later, the company sold off its

Columbia holdings and other media acquisitions to Sony Corporation for over

$1.5 billion.

[14]

Page 15: Market Share of Coca-cola

By 1984 Pepsi-Cola had gained on Coke’s previous domination of the U.S.

market to the point that the two had almost equal sales. In an attempt to return

market dominance, the company attempted the first-ever reason of the

original Coke recipe. The American public largely rejected New Coke, and so

the company quickly returned to also producing the old recipe under the name

Coca-Cola classic.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In 1986 The COCA-Cola Company consolidated all of its no

franchised U.S. bottling operating as Coca-Cola Enterprise, Inc. The new

company began acquiring independent bottling companies, a venture that

grew into the world’s largest bottle of soft drinks by 1988, while Coca-Cola

Enterprise distributes over half of all Coca-Cola products in the United States,

small franchises businesses continue to bottle can and distribute the

company’s drink worldwide.

In 1987 The Coca-Cola Company was fisted in the prestigious

Dow Jones Industrial Average index of stock market performance. Its stock is

traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Coca –Cola and Pepsi Company

products occupied nine of the top ten spots in the U.S. soft drink market in

themed-1990s.Worldwide, Coca-Cola ranked first in soft drink sales, and the

company earned almost 80 percent of its profits from international sales.

and reporting of data to specific marketing situation which an organization faces.

It is an activity which is done by organization for accomplishment of a particular

objective. Through this activity an organization find the specific reason of the

problem which organization face.

Marketing research got a vital role in decision making process by making available

right information, at the right time, and to the right person who involves in decision

making process. Thus it is the basic tool of marketing mix elements, like product,

place, price and promotion.

The research methodology is considered as a major part of the study that is being

conducted. It determines the strength, reliability and accuracy of the project.

Methodology will be considered as the methods used in research is selecting sample,

sample size, data collection and various tools for data analysis.

[42]

Page 43: Market Share of Coca-cola

RESEARCH DESIGN

The issue of research has been defined in very much clear term, the researcher will

require to prepare research design that will describe the conceptual structure of whole

research.

There are four steps in the research process-

Identify the issues of the research.

Develop the research plan.

Implementation of research plan.

Interpreting the research reporting the finding.

There are two basic type of research design-

Exploratory Research (helps to determine the objective of retailers/clients).

Conclusive Research (it includes experimental and descriptive method).

DATA COLLECTION

This research involved a study, which was descriptive as well as explorative in nature

it basically aims at gathering data about how the coca-cola red element concept

&scheme playing in the mind of retailer & consumers. During the research period I

collected data direct from retailers by survey. For proceeding further first of all we

should know something about data and what the different type data are-

[43]

Page 44: Market Share of Coca-cola

TYPES OF DATA: There are two types of data-

1. Primary data.

2. Secondary data.

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION-

Primary data collection: Primary data can be collected by three methods-

1. Observation

2. Experiment

3. Survey

But here, only surveys method of data collection is preferred which is very suitable to

reach the researcher motto.

A. Research instrument: Printed Questionnaire was used as the research instrument

to collect the required information.

B. Area of surveys: The survey was conducted at Aishbagh regionin Lucknow city.

SAMPLE DESIGN

Sampling unit: The retailer of Grocery shop, general store, betel shop, and medical

store was selected from different places of Lucknow.

Sampling size: 68 Outlets have been taken for conducting the report.

[44]

Page 45: Market Share of Coca-cola

Type of sampling: there are two type of sampling.

A. Probability sampling.

B. Non probability sampling.

Probability sampling- It is also known simple random sampling. In this sampling

everybody gets similar chance to select as a sample unit.

Non probability sampling- In this sampling everybody gets not similar chance to

select as a sample unit. Example of non probability are cluster sampling, convenience

sampling, judgment sampling e t c.

Sampling procedure: Simple random sampling procedure was followed.

Sampling method: Data were collected by retailer survey. The retailers are directly

contacted and interviewed at their retail counter.

FACTOR ANALYSIS

R.E.D CONCEPT R.E.D is the survey method that company started earlier. For the survey, Company

has hired the person from A.C. NIELSON one of the best survey company. This

survey gets done once in a month. R.E.D is the set of norms divided into outlet wise.

ABOUT THE R.E.D SURVEY

The survey named as R.E.D. (Right Execution Daily). The survey has been conducted

to check the cooler management, availability of products & activation of coca-cola in

various outlets.

[45]

Page 46: Market Share of Coca-cola

The survey was based on the following steps: -

Firstly, I have to check the activation, which is a very important because

activation helps to boost the sales. Activation is done through boards i.e. glow sign.

DPS, Flanges and Combo boards. Mostly combo boards are given to the E&D outlets.

And these are very helpful in attracting the customers. Rack with header is provided

to the Grocery outlets.

Secondly, I have to check elements like table top, three tier racks, and ailed mobile

hanger which have been provided, are fully charged with coke products or not .

Then I have to find out that these elements are easily visible to the public or not.

MARKET SEGMENTATION MODEL OF COCA-COLA

Right Execution Daily (R.E.D) is the segmentation of outlets as Channel, Class, and

Income. Let us know what are the Channel, Class, and Income respectively.

Markets can be segmented along 3 lines- Outlet Volume, Locality Income, & Channel

cluster.

FINDINGS

During my project of two month I surveyed for 68 outlets in Aishbagh region. I

observed and found the following things during my daily survey.

I found that many of the retailers are not having the activation elements like

table top, mobile hanger and cut case display in their outlets.

Many of the outlet owners are not properly maintaining and decorating table

top mobile hanger cut case display with Coke’s brand.

Mostly E&D outlet don’t have any activation element of the company in the

outlet while they are interested.

Among 68 outlets, 58 outlets were not having the price communication in the

outlet which is very necessary.

Some outlets are maintaining old price strips and also these are not easily

visible to the customer.

Also found dead & useless coolers in some of outlets and some retailers

complain about the service & repair of coolers.

I found that some retailer were not satisfied with our service, for that reason

they stopped to sell our product and started to sell Pepsi product.

Some retailers use company’s visi-cooler for other purpose, and some keep

Pepsi product in visi-cooler provided by coca-cola.

Some retailer complained that ESM or Executive don’t provide any

promotional equipment and also don’t have proper communication with them.

I found that Pepsi is doing aggressive advertisement in comparison with Coke,

and investing aggressively on activation like hording, glow sign board, DPS,

also in terms of providing good service and free chilling equipment to the

retailer.

I found in some outlets Flange is failed to draw the customer attention because

it is not easily visible.

I found so many outlets they want visi-coolers from Coca-Cola.

[62]

Page 63: Market Share of Coca-cola

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESIONS

Company should convince retailers to have promotional tools decorating with

coke products and should tell them why these elements are important and how

company as well as Retailers is getting benefit of using these activation

elements.

Company should focus more and more on E&D Outlet because most of the

E&D outlets don’t have promotional tools of the company and overall average

score of these outlets is very less.

Company should reframe the Flange to an attractive and big size because the

current look and size of Flange is not attractive and fail to draw attention of

the population.

Overall service should be improved because many of the retailers are not

satisfied with company service.

Company must provide free chilling equipment to the outlet where needed and

also company should work out on complain of Retailers.

The Company should measure Retailers satisfaction regularly and should

maintain proper communication with them.

Company can increase the sales when it considering more on retailers, their

suggestions or complaints about service or product so that necessary action

can be taken.

Review meeting should be often held so that the working pattern of the

executives can be checked and improved if needed.

Company representatives should visit retailers and should make a long-term

relationship with retailer so that they can push the product.

Distributers should be convinced to pass the incentives to the retailers so that

they are motivated to promote this brand.

Increase the number of dealers and retailers as this will help in making high

sales volume.

Now company should launch new taste of soft drinks like recently launched

Minute Maid & also launched new product in another flavor.

[63]

Page 64: Market Share of Coca-cola

In winter Season Company should give more discount & schemes to retailers

so that they sell more our product.

LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCH WORK

“Nothing is prefect in the world, every individual is bound to make mistake at

some points, and it is genuine.”

The study was restricted to Aishbagh region only.

Limited knowledge of the researcher in the field of research may lead to

interpretation errors.

The respondents may be biased or influenced by other factor.

A busy schedule of dealers/ retailers also makes the collection of information a

very difficult one.

The project is purely based on observation & verbal meetings and may be

influenced by unprecedented factors.

Non-co-operative behavior of respondent was a big problem in this survey. .

The research was based on primary collection of data through voice interview

and observation so there may be chances of human error.

The research was depending on the information provided by the respondents

(retailers). It may insufficient.

As associated with project, time and money were the major limitations with

project.

[66]

Page 67: Market Share of Coca-cola

CONCLUSION

To conclude the study we can say that the activation elements of the company are

very important. This plays a key role to show the visibility of Coke product in the

outlet to the customer. These elements are very helpful in spreading awareness about

the coke products to the customer and increasing in the sale. But as per the research

work, most of the retailers don’t maintain these elements in their outlets. Score of the

E&D outlets is very poor. Most of the E&D Outlets don’t have these sales promotion

tools. To overcome on this problem Company need to communicate & convince

owners to maintain these elements in their outlets. And also the score of convenience

outlets and Grocery outlets is not up to the mark. During two month of my project I

increased 4 point in score of convenience outlets, 1 point in E&D outlet, 5 point in

grocery outlet and 4 point in overall average score of 68 outlets by providing these

activation elements to the outlets. Company need to focus more and more in providing

these promotional tools to outlets and needs to convince retailers to maintain the

standard of activation elements in their outlets. Pepsi is the big competitor for Coca-

Cola and it is doing aggressive marketing and focusing & spending lot of money on

promotional activity. Considering on these factors company must focus on promotion

activity and provide the entire activation element to the outlets. Because activation

elements is very helpful in increasing the sale of Coke product.
