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
bull To study the customers demand for products of company
bull To explore the preferential attitude of retailers towards the products of
company

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

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
CHAPTER 3PROBLEM SPECIFICATION
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The management decision problem is the problem confronting the decision maker
A marketing research problem is a problem that entails determining what information is
needed and how it can be obtained in the most feasible way
Management decision problem
Where can new businesscustomers for Pepsi come from
Marketing research problem
To determine the potential of the SVS stores in doing that for Pepsi simultaneously studying
and learning the mass popularity and satisfaction of HUL in these stores as a means to learn
for Pepsi
21
SOURCES OF ERROR
NON-RESPONSE ERROR arises when some of the respondents included in the sample
do not respond For example a respondent busy in dealing customers
RESPONSE ERROR arises when respondents give inaccurate answers or their answers are
misrecorded or misanalyzed
Population definition error Variation between the actual population relevant to the

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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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 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 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 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

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 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

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
varied marketing program Social

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

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 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

SWOT ANALYSIS A SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths Weaknesses
Opportunities and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture or in any other
situation requiring a decision It gives an overall evaluation of a companyrsquos external and
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

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 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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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 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

SWOT ANALYSIS A SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths Weaknesses
Opportunities and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture or in any other
situation requiring a decision It gives an overall evaluation of a companyrsquos external and
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

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 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

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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
20
CHAPTER 3PROBLEM SPECIFICATION
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The management decision problem is the problem confronting the decision maker
A marketing research problem is a problem that entails determining what information is
needed and how it can be obtained in the most feasible way
Management decision problem
Where can new businesscustomers for Pepsi come from
Marketing research problem
To determine the potential of the SVS stores in doing that for Pepsi simultaneously studying
and learning the mass popularity and satisfaction of HUL in these stores as a means to learn
for Pepsi
21
SOURCES OF ERROR

do not respond For example a respondent busy in dealing customers
RESPONSE ERROR arises when respondents give inaccurate answers or their answers are
misrecorded or misanalyzed
Population definition error Variation between the actual population relevant to the
problem and population as defined by the research For example using an old sampling
frame list for SVS stores
Respondent selection error Selecting the respondent other than those specified by the
sampling design For example selecting a non SVS retail outlet
Questioning error Error made in asking question For example while asking questions not
using the exact wording given in the questionnaire

inability due to fatigue and boredom
Unwillingness error Respondentrsquos unwillingness to provide accurate answers For

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

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
