PREFACE
Barring price wars among the leaders, nothing marked the FMCG
sector.
The King of Good Times is Indias best-selling beer, and from Mumbai to Delhi,the locals guzzle through millions of bottles annually. But although the brandcommands up to 25% of its domestic market, unless youve visited India or are a
part-time connoisseur of curries, you may not have recognized Kingfishers qualitiesas the perfect accompaniment to a chicken Vindaloo.
As my area of interest is marketing,
The project was provided to me titled
Brand Building Activities and Personal Selling Activities of Kingfisher withspecial Reference to Jaipur City.
So that I can understand and learn the marketing skills in FMCG sector
I did my summer internship at Kingfisher Icebergs Foods Ltd., Jaipur, under theguidance of Mr. Mayur Tiwari (Regional Sales Manager) and Mr. SurendraChoudhary (Area Sales Manager).
I am please to work in this esteemed organization.
I have tried my best to make this report a reader friendly & also did my level best tofulfill the objective of the summer training.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
India is the largest democracy in the world with a stable political system. India is the second
fastest growing economy in the world with the GDP growth rate peaking to 9.2% in the year
2006-07. This USD 1 trillion economy with a wealthy middle class population of 300 million
gives a healthy market.
My project was to support sales promotion for ICEBERG FOODS LIMITED. It was carried
out in JAIPUR. The place is heavily industrialised. So, most of the people were aware of our
product. Main work of the project was to cover all the retailers and approaching them
personally. It was done because of unawareness of the products characteristics.
Going to retailers and asking them to keep our product in front. So that people
can try that. Different markets were covered and firstly, survey was done that where our
product is in more demand. It was seen that demand was more in those places where youth
was held. Jaipur is having many management colleges. It was easy to pass the information
very fast. As seen during the project that demand of RC COLA was increasing as earlier they
were not having knowledge of it before.
The perception was that it is a soft drink. My work was to emphasise on those
work which can spread information very fast.
So it was only retailer who works as bottle neck in whole distribution channel. My work was
to handle them and convincing them going personally. According to survey I gave time to
those places where penetration was more.
The study has to be made to improve the Kingfishers market potential in the Jaipur
market in retail segment, and for this you have to undertake the project title:

1.1 OVERVIEW OF AN INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE
INTRODUCTION
Soft drinkmarket size for FY00 was around US$270 million. The market witnessed 5- 6%
growth in the early90s. Presently the market growth has growth rate of 7- 8% per annum
compared to 22% growth rate in the previous year. The market size for FY01 is expected to
be 7000 mn bottles.
SOFT DRINK PRODUCTION AREA
The market preference is highly regional based. While cola drinks have main markets in
metro cities and northern states of UP, Punjab, Haryana etc. Orange flavored drinks are
popular in southern states. Sodas too are sold largely in southern states besides sale through
bars. Western markets have preference towards mango flavored drinks.
Growth area promotional area
The government has adopted liberalized policies for the soft drink trade to give the industry a
boast and promote the Indian brands internationally. Although the manufacture of
international brands like Pepsi and Coke is enhanced in India the local brands are being
stabilized by advertisements, good quality and low cost.
The soft drinks market till early 1990s was in hands of domestic players like Campa, Thumps
Up, and Limca but with opening up of economy and coming of MNC players Pepsi and Coke
the market has come totally under their control.

beverage market can be divided into fruit drinks and soft drinks. Soft drinks can be further
divided into carbonated and non-carbonated drinks. Cola, lemon and oranges are carbonated
drinks while mango drinks come under non carbonated category.
The market can also be segmented on the basis of types of products into cola products and
non-cola products. Cola products account for nearly 61-62% of the total soft drinks market.
The brands that fall in this category are Pepsi, Coca- Cola, Thumps Up, diet coke, Diet Pepsi

1.2 Profile of the organization
UNITED BREWERIES GROUP (UB GROUP)
United Breweries Group
Based in Bangalore, is the world's 2nd largest brewer and the largest in India. The company
markets most of its beer under the Kingfisher brand and has also launched Kingfisher Airlines, a
domestic airline service in India.
The group is headed by Dr. Vijay Mallya who is also a member of the Indian Parliament. United
Breweries now has a near-monopoly over the Indian brewing market, thanks to its recent takeover
of the rival Shaw-Wallace company. The group owns the Mendocino Brewing Company in the
United States.

HISTORY
The UB Group was founded by a Scotsman, Thomas Leishman in 1857. The Group took its initial
lessons in manufacturing beer from South Indian based British breweries. At the age of 29, Vijay
Mallya was elected as the company's first Indian director in 1947. After a year, he replaced R G N
Price as the chairman of the company.
United Breweries made its initial impact by manufacturing bulk beer for the British troops, which
was transported in huge barrels or "Hogsheads". Kingfisher, the Group's most visible and
profitable brand, made a modest entry in the sixties.During the 1950's and 60's, the company
expanded greatly by acquiring other breweries. First was the addition of McDowell as one of the
Group subsidiaries, a move which helped United Breweries to extend its portfolio to wines and
spirits business. Strategically, the Group moved into agro-based industries and medicines when
Mallya acquired Kissan Products and formed a long-term relationship with Hoechst AG of
Germany to create the Indian pharmaceutical company now known as Aventis Pharma , the Indian
subsidiary of the global Pharma major Sanofi-Aventis.

THE LOGO
The Pegasus, which is the symbol of the United Breweries, first found its place as the Group logo
in 1940. Then, the Helladic horse associated with beer and nectar in Greek mythology- carried a
beer cask between the wings, ostensibly because beer formed the core operations of the Group.
Later, the beer cask was removed to represent the Groups multifaceted operations. Now, it is just
the Pegasus.

PRESENT SCENERIO
Sales of the United Spirits Ltd. are expected to exceed 60 million cases during the fiscal year
2005-06 making the Group the third largest manufacturer of Spirits products in the world. In
addition, USL is one of only three in the world to own seven millionaire brands and at least five
brands rated by Drinks International, UK, to be amongst the ten fastest growing brands in the
world in their respective categories. The market share of the Spirits Division in India is currently
60% and exports to the Middle East, Africa and Asian countries are growing rapidly.
The UB Groups Brewing Entity - called United Breweries Limited (UBL) - has also assumedundisputed market leadership with a national market share in excess of 50%. Through a process of
aggressive acquisition and market penetration, The UB Group today controls 60% of the total
manufacturing capacity for Beer in India. The flagship brand, Kingfisher is now sold in over 52
countries worldwide having received many accolades for its quality.
With plans to becoming a global player United Spirits Ltd. (USL), the flagship of the UB group,
purchased the Scottish distiller Whyte and Mackay in May 2007 for 595 million (Rs. 4,800
crore). This would bring the brands of W&M like The Dalmore, Isle of Jura, Glayva, Fetter cairn,
Vladivar Vodka, and Whyte & Mackay Scotch under its portfolio.
The UB group is also into manufacture of Fertilizers. The group company Mangalore Chemicals
and Fertilizers Limited (MCF) has factory at Panambur in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka.

KINGFISHER LIMITED
The King of Good Times is Indias best-selling beer, and from Mumbai to Delhi, the locals
guzzle through millions of bottles annually. But although the brand commands up to 25% of its
domestic market, unless youve visited India or are a part-time connoisseur of curries, you may not
have recognized Kingfishers qualities as the perfect accompaniment to a chicken Vindaloo.
However, all that could change in the future as Kingfishers owners, United Breweries, have
delivered their premium brand to the web in an effort to increase global awareness of their coveted
flagship product.
The Kingfisher homepage is everything you would expect from the Indian-based brand. It is
colorful and noisy (although the score sounds more Caribbean than Indian) and theres plenty of
animation to enhance the viewing experience. Areas of the site that are well worth a visit include
theFun n Beersection, where you can send E-cards to your friends or have a chuckle at theBeer
Jokes; theFoodsection, which is a must for lovers of Indian cuisine; and the Worldsection, which
contains information about the history of United Breweries and the Kingfisher brand itself.
Unfortunately, the facility to order Kingfisher beer and apparel online only exists for residents of
Bangalore at present, so from an E-tail perspective, the site is limited to a fraction of its own
indigenous market.
This feeling of constraint is also extended to other site areas and there are several sections within
Kingfisher.com that are weak in terms of content and will need substantial embellishment if United
Breweries are to make full use of the web as a marketing tool. The Sports pages are a goodexample of this as they simply contain a handful of paragraphs on Kingfishers sponsorship of past
sporting events, rather than evangelizing what associates the emotional aspects of the Kingfisher
brand with its chosen recreational partners.

There are many problems which organization is facing to keep an existence in the market.These are:-
a) No proper knowledge about product in the market. People`s perception about theproduct is that its a SODA.
b) Sometimes there are problems with bottle packaging as per the complaints of theretailers. Like bottle puffing, gas leakage, shortage in numbers of bottles from carton.
c) Another product of the company which is in competition of pack that is RC COLA .So, company can`t help out this problem.
d) Company is following pull up strategy instead of push up. Retailers do not haveproper knowledge about the product. So information is not passed to customers.
e) The sales force of the company is not working up to the level.
f) RC COLA has introduced only one flavor product and in todays scenariocustomers taste and preferences are changing. So, its very hard to make them stick to oneflavor.
g) Retailers are demanding for product only when there is rise in demand. They donot keep ready stock with them.
h) They are not ready to keep product in front desk. As other give them high margins.
i)No stress on massive advertisement of the product.

Public Relation & Promotional activities are inadequate Jaipur city.
Local players like Esseau, Health plush are growing at a very fast rate especially at bus
stands and railway station area.
O P P O R T U N I T I E S
Wide market still remains unexplored
They can have large customer base.
There is a very large untapped market in the rural area.
People are getting more health conscious
Municipalities are supplying impure water.
Strong brand image of Kingfisher also become USP for shops, offices, & institutes
Persistent water scarcity
Can increase its market shares by advertisements and aggressive marketing. Company can us
more of its production capacity.
Company has license to serve package drinking water in all over India so company can easily
go for other states in order to tap the large unrepresented market.
New services could be attached e.g. after sales services.
More emphasize should be given to 2 ltr. Bottle as there is less no. of competitors.
T H R E A T S
Bisleri, Aquafina and other companies are serving packaged drinking water in all over India.
Competition from other companies and well-established brands operating in the market.
Consumers are becoming more brand loyal rather than quality conscious.
Attractive schemes are provided by the competitors for their brand promotion.

3.Conceptual Discussion
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
I. Purification Process
Purity and safety are two major factors taken care in sourcing and processing of Kingfisher water.
Underground spring is carefully selected based on its portability and pathogen free water. Great
care goes in tapping this source. Only water below 25 meters is tapped. This is to avoid any
surface contamination to percolate and mix with underground water source. Area surrounding the
water collection tube at the surface is protected and kept clean.
II. Processing and Quality Assurance
The casing tube itself is protected with stainless steel mesh to give a preliminary filtration to the
water. Ultra filtration gives water reduction in turbidity and adds sparkle activated carbon purifier
to remove color and odour in water
Reverse osmosis membrane has porosity of less than 0.01 micron the process renders water free o
microorganisms and also reduces dissolved solids
To ensure Kingfisher packaged drinking water is held safe free from contaminations, ultraviolet
treatment and ozonization process is carried out. Ozone is unstable trivalent oxygen, a verypowerful bactericide with no side effect, as it disintegrates into oxygen within couple of hours.
Sterilization effect of ozonised water continues even after water is packaged, thereby ensuring
safety of Kingfisher up to its final packing. To ensure high quality of packing materials,

ROYAL CROWN COLA
EVOLUTION OF THE PRODUCT
In 1933, Claude Hatcher, still president, died and H.R. Mott who had
been with the company for thirteen years took over as chief executive.
One of the first tasks that Mott undertook was the development of a new cola drink. Rufus Kamm,
chief chemist, developed the syrup for what was to be called Royal Crown Cola, named after
Hatchers original ginger ale.
During the dark days of the depression Royal Crown Cola, shortened by the consumer to RC Cola
was selling in the 12 ounce bottle for just 5c a bottle. In 1940, Mott moved to Chairman of the
Board and the title of President was passed to C.C. Colbert. For the collector of Royal Crown cities
bottles, two basic label variations are noted. The first variation is the "pyramid" bottle, one of the
most dynamic and colorful bottle labels. This label was produced from the mid 1930's to the mid
1950's. All bottles contained 12 ounces and were either aqua or clear glass. The value range for
cities collectors is from $12.00 to $18.00. The second group of bottles has the same red/yellow
color combination but without the pyramids. All of these bottles were produced from the early to
late 1950's. The size range was 8, 10, and 12 ounces, and only aqua glass color has been noted.
The value range is from $4.00 to $8.00 to brand and cities collectors.
Cobert retained the presidency until 1955 and directed the company through a period of
rapid growth. By the end of1940, the company's products were marketed in 47 states, and
nationwide advertising campaigns featured many of the Hollywood celebrities.
