CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

14

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

bull To study the customers demand for products of company

bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of

company

bull To investigate the problems of retailers and customers with regard to products

of company

18

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study encompasses all the SVS retail outlets of HUL in Lucknow capital of

Uttar Pradesh There are 96 such retail outlets present in Lucknow The study focuses on the

analysis of service by HUL at these SVS retail outlets

It also focuses on the potential of the majority of these stores that do not currently stock

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

19

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

20

and if so does he purchase Pepsi The third and fourth questions make us know which of the

drinks under Pepsi Umbrella sell the most

This component focuses on various aspects related to HUL dealing with respondentrsquos

perception of its service and the dealerrsquos satisfaction levels measured on various parameters

storeowners service is single most important factor for satisfaction

Component 4

Overall rating of HULrsquos performance is gathered and points of its lagging and improvements

are also asked subjectively

Component 5

For retailers that do not have Pepsi this last section focuses more on verbal interaction so as

to identify the problems of retailers for the same This is also the part where the business

development carried out and the retailers are tried to convince to stock Pepsi

24

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

14

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

bull To study the customers demand for products of company

bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of

company

bull To investigate the problems of retailers and customers with regard to products

of company

18

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study encompasses all the SVS retail outlets of HUL in Lucknow capital of

Uttar Pradesh There are 96 such retail outlets present in Lucknow The study focuses on the

analysis of service by HUL at these SVS retail outlets

It also focuses on the potential of the majority of these stores that do not currently stock

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

19

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The soft drinks industry continued on its path to recovery from the low growth seen between

2005 and 2006 with higher volume growth in 2008 than that seen in 2007 The mature

sectors of bottled water fruitvegetable juice and carbonates saw a dynamic year with

companies refreshing their productsrsquo brand image and packaging to attract new consumers

Emerging product categories such as energy drinks and reconstituted 100 juice saw high

double-digit growth rates as companies increased their productsrsquo penetration in India Off-

trade volume growth was slightly higher than on-trade volume growth as convenient on-the-

go packaging company sponsored chillers in kiranas and attractive supermarket displays

fuelled off-trade sales across the market

With the industry back on the upward growth curve companies refreshed their brands by

introducing new and more premium packaging designs pack sizes and communication

campaigns In 2008 bottled water was especially dynamic with all the major national brands

following the cue of Bislerirsquos rebranding in late 2007 Carbonates and juice drinks were also

reinvigorated with new pack sizes that targeted on-the-go consumption by young adults

With ldquonaturally healthyrdquo becoming a key focus for consumers and manufacturers

fruitvegetable drinks companies focused their efforts on highlighting their productsrsquo fresh

fruit content and health attributes Companies put in motion plans to extend their product

portfolios to emerging categories such as 100 juice energy drinks and flavoured water

The multinationals Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India Holdings saw their off-trade value

shares of soft drinks in India decline over the review period as other national and regional

players updated their brand portfolios and increased the penetration of their brands in India

Bottled water players such as Parle Bisleri and Dhariwal Industries were particularly

successful in expanding their consumer base through a concerted effort to increase their

manufacturing capacity and move to newer regions within India Dabur India and Parle Agro

benefited from their first mover advantage in being present in high-growth emerging product

categories such as 100 juice and other non-cola carbonates

With companies increasing their spend on below-the-line marketing activities the ubiquitous

kiranas were the beneficiaries of efforts such as branded glass door refrigerators regional

language banners and displays and the roll-out of on-the-go packaging for carbonates and

2

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

juice drinks Supermarkets which are still something of a novelty in many small cities

continued to attract a combination of regular grocery shoppers and young impulse buyers

Bundling and discount promotions for fruitvegetable juice and concentrates drove product

sampling in supermarkets Emerging categories such as energy drinks and RTD tea

received a boost from impulse buyers in supermarkets while attractive displays and

imported products in upmarket shopping centres introduced consumers to new products

such as sports drinks and flavoured water

With rising consumer affluence and companies tailoring their product designs and marketing

specifically to target the young adult population group the trend of robust double-digit

annual volume growth is expected to continue over the forecast period The foray of leading

national players into emerging categories such as energy drinks and 100 juice will help

sustain high growth rates in the future Competition from the unorganised sector is expected

to decline over the forecast period as the national players make a concerted effort to educate

consumers about the health benefits of packaged drinks and move into markets such as bulk

bottled water which are currently dominated by the unorganised sector

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

internal marketing environment

SWOT analysis for PepsiCo STRENGTH

bull Pepsi has a broader product line and

outstanding reputation

bull Merger of Quaker Oats produced

synergy across the board

bull Record revenues and increasing

market share

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

as corn chips and potato chips

bull PepsiCo sells three products through

the same distribution channel

bull For example combining the

production capabilities of Pepsi

Gatorade and Tropicana is a big

opportunity to reduce costs improve

efficiency and smooth out the impact

of seasonal fluctuations in demand

for particular product

WEAKNESS

bull Pepsi hard to inspire vision and

direction for large global company

bull Not all PepsiCo products bear the

company name

bull PepsiCo is far away from leader

Coca-cola in the international market

- demand is highly elastic

OPPORTUNITY

bull Food division should expand

internationally

THREATS

bull FampB industry is mature

bull Pepsi is blamed for pesticide

13

bull Noncarbonated drinks are the

fastest-growing part of the industry

bull There are increasing trend toward

healthy foods

bull Focus on most important customer

trend - Convenience

residues in their products in one of

their most promising emerging

market eg in India

bull Over 50 percent of the companys

sales come from Frito-Lay this is a

threat if the market takes a downturn

bull PepsiCo now competes with

Cadbury Schweppes Coca-Cola

and Kraft foods (because of broader

product line) which are well-run and

financially sound competitors

bull -Size of company will demand a

varied marketing program Social

cultural economic political and

governmental constrains

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

bull To study the customers demand for products of company

bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of

company

bull To investigate the problems of retailers and customers with regard to products

of company

18

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study encompasses all the SVS retail outlets of HUL in Lucknow capital of

Uttar Pradesh There are 96 such retail outlets present in Lucknow The study focuses on the

analysis of service by HUL at these SVS retail outlets

It also focuses on the potential of the majority of these stores that do not currently stock

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

19

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

20

23

INFORMATION NEEDED

Component 1

This component focuses on the information whether the respondent purchases soft drinks

and if so does he purchase Pepsi The third and fourth questions make us know which of the

drinks under Pepsi Umbrella sell the most

Component 2

This component focuses on various aspects related to HUL dealing with respondentrsquos

perception of its service and the dealerrsquos satisfaction levels measured on various parameters

inovving salesman and likewise

Component 3

This component is dedicated to measuring only the service intricacies of HUL as for these

storeowners service is single most important factor for satisfaction

Component 4

Overall rating of HULrsquos performance is gathered and points of its lagging and improvements

are also asked subjectively

Component 5

For retailers that do not have Pepsi this last section focuses more on verbal interaction so as

to identify the problems of retailers for the same This is also the part where the business

development carried out and the retailers are tried to convince to stock Pepsi

24

SCALING TECHNIQUES

A scaling is the generation of a continuum upon which measured objects are located The

scaling technique used in this marketing research can be grouped into comparative and

noncomparative scales

1 Comparative scales

a Rank order Respondents were asked to rank the objects present

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

bull Record revenues and increasing

market share

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

as corn chips and potato chips

bull PepsiCo sells three products through

the same distribution channel

bull For example combining the

production capabilities of Pepsi

Gatorade and Tropicana is a big

opportunity to reduce costs improve

efficiency and smooth out the impact

of seasonal fluctuations in demand

for particular product

WEAKNESS

bull Pepsi hard to inspire vision and

direction for large global company

bull Not all PepsiCo products bear the

company name

bull PepsiCo is far away from leader

Coca-cola in the international market

- demand is highly elastic

14

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

bull Record revenues and increasing

market share

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

as corn chips and potato chips

bull PepsiCo sells three products through

the same distribution channel

bull For example combining the

production capabilities of Pepsi

Gatorade and Tropicana is a big

opportunity to reduce costs improve

efficiency and smooth out the impact

of seasonal fluctuations in demand

for particular product

WEAKNESS

bull Pepsi hard to inspire vision and

direction for large global company

bull Not all PepsiCo products bear the

company name

bull PepsiCo is far away from leader

Coca-cola in the international market

- demand is highly elastic

their most promising emerging

market eg in India

bull Over 50 percent of the companys

sales come from Frito-Lay this is a

threat if the market takes a downturn

bull PepsiCo now competes with

Cadbury Schweppes Coca-Cola

and Kraft foods (because of broader

product line) which are well-run and

financially sound competitors

bull -Size of company will demand a

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

market share

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

as corn chips and potato chips

bull PepsiCo sells three products through

of seasonal fluctuations in demand

for particular product

WEAKNESS

bull Pepsi hard to inspire vision and

direction for large global company

bull Not all PepsiCo products bear the

company name

bull PepsiCo is far away from leader

their most promising emerging

market eg in India

bull Over 50 percent of the companys

sales come from Frito-Lay this is a

threat if the market takes a downturn

bull PepsiCo now competes with

Cadbury Schweppes Coca-Cola

and Kraft foods (because of broader

product line) which are well-run and

financially sound competitors

bull -Size of company will demand a

varied marketing program Social

cultural economic political and

governmental constrains

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

14

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

bull To study the customers demand for products of company

bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of

company

bull To investigate the problems of retailers and customers with regard to products

of company

18

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study encompasses all the SVS retail outlets of HUL in Lucknow capital of

Uttar Pradesh There are 96 such retail outlets present in Lucknow The study focuses on the

analysis of service by HUL at these SVS retail outlets

It also focuses on the potential of the majority of these stores that do not currently stock

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

19

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

bull Pepsi has a broader product line and

outstanding reputation

bull Merger of Quaker Oats produced

synergy across the board

bull Record revenues and increasing

market share

bull Lack of capital constraints

(availability of large free cash flow)

bull Great brands strong distribution

innovative capabilities

bull Number one maker of snacks such

as corn chips and potato chips

bull PepsiCo sells three products through

the same distribution channel

bull For example combining the

production capabilities of Pepsi

Gatorade and Tropicana is a big

opportunity to reduce costs improve

efficiency and smooth out the impact

of seasonal fluctuations in demand

for particular product

WEAKNESS

bull Pepsi hard to inspire vision and

direction for large global company

bull Not all PepsiCo products bear the

company name

bull PepsiCo is far away from leader

Coca-cola in the international market

- demand is highly elastic

OPPORTUNITY

bull Food division should expand

internationally

bull Noncarbonated drinks are the

fastest-growing part of the industry

bull There are increasing trend toward

healthy foods

bull Focus on most important customer

trend - Convenience

their most promising emerging

market eg in India

bull Over 50 percent of the companys

sales come from Frito-Lay this is a

threat if the market takes a downturn

bull PepsiCo now competes with

Cadbury Schweppes Coca-Cola

and Kraft foods (because of broader

product line) which are well-run and

financially sound competitors

bull -Size of company will demand a

varied marketing program Social

governmental constrains

14

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

16

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

bull To study the customers demand for products of company

bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of

company

bull To investigate the problems of retailers and customers with regard to products

of company

18

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study encompasses all the SVS retail outlets of HUL in Lucknow capital of

Uttar Pradesh There are 96 such retail outlets present in Lucknow The study focuses on the

analysis of service by HUL at these SVS retail outlets

It also focuses on the potential of the majority of these stores that do not currently stock

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

19

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

COMPETITION PROFILE

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores restaurants and vending machines

worldwide The Coca-Cola Company claims that the beverage is sold in more than 200

countries It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta Georgia and is often

referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola pop or in some

parts of the US soda

Pepsi is often second to Coke in terms of sales but outsells Coca-Cola in some markets

Around the world some local brands do compete with Coke In India Coca-Cola ranked

third behind the leader Pepsi-Cola and local drink Thums Up However The Coca-Cola

Company purchased Thums Up in 1993As of 2004 Coca-Cola held a 609 market-share

in India Tropicola a domestic drink is served in Cuba instead of Coca-Cola due to a United

States embargo French brand Mecca Cola and British brand Qibla Cola popular in the

Middle East are competitors to Coca-Cola In Turkey Cola Turka is a major competitor to

Coca-Cola In Iran and also many countries of Middle East Zam Zam Cola and Parsi Cola

are major competitors to Coca-Cola In some parts of China Future cola is a competitor In

Slovenia the locally-produced Cockta is a major competitor to Coca-Cola as is the

inexpensive Mercator Cola which is sold only in the countrys biggest supermarket chain

Mercator In Israel RC Cola is an inexpensive competitor In Madagascar Classiko Cola

made by Tiko Group the largest manufacturing company in the country is a serious

competitor to Coca-Cola in many regions On the Portuguese island of Madeira Laranjada is

the top-selling soft drink In the UK Coca-Cola stated that Pepsi was not its main rival but

rather Robinsons drinks

On February 7 2005 the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second quarter of 2005

they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the artificial sweetener

sucralose (Splenda) the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi One On March 21 2005

it announced another diet product Coca-Cola Zero sweetened partly with a blend of

aspartame and acesulfame potassium Recently Coca-Cola has begun to sell a new healthy

soda Diet Coke with vitamins B6 B12 Magnesium Niacin and Zinc marketed as Diet

Coke Plus

On July 5 2005 it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in Iraq for the first

15

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968

In April 2007 in Canada the name Coca-Cola Classic was changed back to Coca-Cola

The word Classic was truncated because New Coke was no longer in production

eliminating the need to differentiate between the two The formula remained unchanged

In January 2009 Coca-Cola stopped printing the word Classic on the labels of 16-ounce

bottles sold in parts of the southeastern United States The change is part of a larger strategy

to rejuvenate the products image

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

For retailers that do not have Pepsi this last section focuses more on verbal interaction so as

to identify the problems of retailers for the same This is also the part where the business

development carried out and the retailers are tried to convince to stock Pepsi

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

SVS AS A HUL CONCEPT

According to HUL the `Super Value Store Programme exclusively targets mom-n-pop

stores by refashioning them to look like modern retail outlets Apart from buying shelf space

and in turn giving the retailer a discount on its products HUL also imparts retail training

and solutions to help shopkeepers add value to help them keep pace with changing timesor

dispensing its products

With the increasing number of modern retail outlets their bargaining power is also

increasing through demands of high discounts and freebies from FMCG majors Hence only

supplies to modern retailers shows negative on the companys balance sheet So by

refashioning kirana stores the company balances out its margin levels As for the kirana

stores there is growth in profits and a rectified ambience

The key to this unusual partnership between elephant and ant is common branding lower

prices higher discounts and special promotional offers that are exclusive to Super Value

Stores Under the deal worked out by HUL kirana stores that opt to rebrand themselves as

SVSs get an additional 3 commission on monthly sales Plus there are promotional offers

that are available nowhere else

Sample this Currently on offer is a free hair dryer worth Rs 175 for every Rs 200 worth of

HUL shampoos bought Only SVS distributors get this scheme Based on the response HUL

reckons that it can use such lures across a range of more than 500 different products in the

cosmetics fabric and personal wash and food segments HUL has also installed special

cabinets in SVS stores

17

Chapter- 2PROJECT PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective of the present study was to identify the SVS(Super Value Stores) as

defined by Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) for Lucknow Only around 15 of such

SVS outlets have Pepsi This list of outlets was traced through Mr Khan a distributer

of HUL in Lucknow

The primary objective was to visit these SVS stores study the distribution satisfaction

levels wrt HLL and also target them as Pepsirsquos customers There were some of the

secondary objectives of the present study There were as under

bull To develop the related psychometric test and questionnaires for measuring the

merchandising pattern of Pepsi company

Pepsi as potential for Pepsirsquos future business development

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Time constraints As is expected during any study there was very less time to do a

comprehensive study for SVS retail outlets

Divisional boundary Area covered were mainly all the SVS stores in Lucknow

Information Asymmetry It wasnrsquot easy to get information from all the stores because of

various reasons The study includes only those stores from whom I was able to gat

information

Restricted generalization Study cannot be generalized beyond the city surveyed

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives

CHAPTER 7CONCLUSION

In this report an effort was made to analyze the effectiveness of SVS retail outlets in

Lucknow In this regard the major concern for the project was to understand the parameters

that HUL performs well in which can be an understanding for PepsiCo for the newer

business developments The study concluded that following aspects of service by HUL are

highly regarded by the retailers

bull Interaction with salesperson

bull Frequency of his visit

bull Quality of products

bull Visit of Area Sales Manager (ADC) Accounts Development Officer (ADC)

bull Providing accessories

bull Product Availability

bull Enrolling dealer in schemes

However

bull Replacement of outdated stock

bull Changing faulty accessories

bull Availability of products in sufficient quantity still remain to be problems currently

This study has intended to capture the mindset of SVS retail outlet owners by the way of

audit and survey The study has helped to uncover the fact that HULrsquos SVS store owners are

quite satisfied with the service and offerings of HUL and also helped to locate the factors of

its incredible performance

This insight will go a long way with the marketing department of PepsiCo and help them

employ it in context of their business The study also helped develop new business for

PepsiCo wherein around 15 stores agreed to stock Pepsi after convincing them with the

offerings

Some major recommendations which PepsiCo should take are

bull 1113088 Steps to improve the time management of stock

bull 1113088 Steps to enhance the service offered at these stores

bull 1113088 Increase the frequency of salespersons and CE ADC

bull 1113088 To keep their product line in order with the dealers

Overall the study was able to achieve the set objectives
