Coca-Cola is carbonated soft drinks sold in stores, restaurants and

vending machines internationally. The Coca-Cola Company claims that
the beverage is sold in more than 200 countries. The company
produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers
throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive
contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and
bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and
sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-
Cola to retail stores and vending machines

 INTRODUCTION

HISTORY OF ‘PEPSICO’

Pepsi is a soft drinks produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold

in many places such as retail stores, restaurants, schools, cinemas and
from vending machine. The drink was first made in the 1880s by
pharmacist Calab Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. The brand was
trademarked on June 16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants
produced over the years since 1898.

9
It was first introduced in North Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham who
made it at his pharmacy which sold the drink which was known back
then as "Brad's Drink", and was later named Pepsi Cola possibly due
the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe.
Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and
would aid in digestion and boost energy.

In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore

into a rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of
syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales
increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1926, Pepsi received its first logo
redesign since the original design of 1905.

In 1931, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt during the Great

Depression - in large part due to financial losses incurred by
speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar prices as a result of World War-
I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel bought the Pepsi trademark.[3]
Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again. Pepsi's assets
were then purchased by Charles Guth, the President of Loft Inc. Loft
was a candy manufacturer with retail stores that contained soda
fountains. He sought to replace Coca-Cola at his stores' fountains after
Coke refused to give him a discount on syrup. Guth then had Loft's
chemists reformulate the Pepsi-Cola syrup formula.

During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the

introduction in 1936 of a 12-ounce bottle. Initially priced at 10 cents,
sales were slow, but when the price was slashed to five cents, sales
increased substantially. With a radio advertising campaign featuring
the jingle "Pepsi cola hits the spot / Twelve full ounces, that's a lot /
Twice as much for a nickel, too / Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you,"
arranged in such a way that the jingle never ends.

Pepsi's success under Guth came while the Loft Candy business was
faltering. Since he had initially used Loft's finances and facilities to
establish the new Pepsi success, the near-bankrupt Loft Company sued
Guth for possession of the Pepsi-Cola company.

HISTORY OF ‘COCA-COLA’
The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in a drugstore in Columbus,
Geogia by John Pemnerton, originally as a coca wine called
Pemnerton’s frensh Wine Cola in 1885. He may have been inspired by
the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a European coca wine.

In 1886, when Atlanta and Fulton Country passed prohibition

legislation, Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, essentially
a non-alcoholic version of French Wine Cola. The first sales were at
Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. It was initially
sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains,
which were popular in the United state at the time due to the belief
that carbonated water was good for the health. Pemberton claimed
Coca-Cola cured many diseases, including morphine addiction,
dyspepsia, neurasthenia, headache, and importance. Pemberton ran
the first advertisement for the beverage on May 29 of the same year in
the Atlanta Journal.

By 1888, three versions of Coca-Cola—sold by three separate

businesses—were on the market. As a Griggs Candler acquired a stake
in Pemberton's company in 1887 and incorporated it as the Coca-Cola
in 1888. The same year, while suffering from an ongoing addiction to
morphine], Pemberton sold the rights a second time to four more
businessmen: J.C.Mayfield, A.O. Murphy, C.O. Mullahy and E.H. Blood
worth. Meanwhile, Pemberton's alcoholic [] son Charley Pemnerton
began selling his own version of the products.

John Pemberton declared that the name "Coca-Cola" belonged to

Charley, but the other two manufacturers could continue to use the
formula. So, in the summer of 1888, Candler sold his beverage under
the names Yum Yum and Coke. After both failed to catch on, Candler
set out to establish a legal claim to Coca-Cola in late 1888, in order to
force his two competitors out of the business. Candler purchased
exclusive right to the formula from John Pemberton, Margaret Dozier
and Woolflk Walker. However, in 1914, Dozier came forward to claim
her signature on the bill of sale had been forged, and subsequent
analysis has indicated John Pemberton's signature was most likely a
forgery as well.

14
In 1892 Candler incorporated a second company, The Coca-Cola
Company (the current corporation), and in 1910 Candler had the
earliest records of the company burned, further obscuring its legal
origins. By the time of its 50th anniversary, the drink had reached the
status of a national icon for the USA. In 1935, it was certified Kosher by
Rabbi Tobias Geffen, after the company made minor changes in the
sourcing of some ingredients.

Coca-Cola was sold in bottles for the first time on March 12, 1894. The
first outdoor wall advertisement was painted in the same year as well
in Cartesville, Georgia. Cans of Coke first appeared in 1955. The first
bottling of Coca-Cola occurred in Vicksburg, Mississippi, at the
Biedenharn Candy Company in 1891. Its proprietor was Joseph A.
Biedenharn. The original bottles were Biedenharn bottles, very
different from the much later hobble-skirt design that is now so
familiar. Asa Candler was tentative about bottling the drink, but two
entrepreneurs from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Benjamin F. Thomas and
Joseph B. Whitehead, proposed the idea and were so persuasive that
Candler signed a contract giving them control of the procedure for only
one dollar. Candler never collected his dollar, but in 1899 Chattanooga
became the site of the first Coca-Cola bottling company. The loosely
termed contract proved to be problematic for the company for decades
to come. Legal matters were not helped by the decision of the bottlers
to subcontract to other companies, effectively becoming parent
bottlers.

Coke concentrate, or Coke syrup, was and is sold separately at

pharmacies in small quantities, as an over-the-counter remedy for
nausea or mildly upset stomach.

New Coke
On April 23, 1985, Coca-Cola, amid much publicity, attempted to
change the formula of the drink with "New Coke". Follow-up taste tests
revealed that most consumers preferred the taste of New Coke to both
Coke and Pepsi, but Coca-Cola management was unprepared for the
public's nostalgia for the old drink, leading to a backlash. The company
gave in to protests and returned to the old formula under the name
Coca-Cola Classic on July 10, 1985.

21st century

On February 7, 2005, the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the

second quarter of 2005 they planned to launch a Diet Coke product
sweetened with the artificial sweetener sucralose ("Splenda"), the

15
 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 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
State. The change is part of a larger strategy to rejuvenate the
product's image.

Analysis

METHODOLOGY AND ANALYSIS OF

REASEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research

problems. It may be understood as a science of studying how research
is done scientifically. We study the various steps that are generally
adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with
the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not
only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to
calculate the mean, the mode, the median, standard deviation and chi
– square, how to apply the particular research techniques, are relevant
and which are not and what would they mean and indicate and why?
Researchers also need to understand the assumptions underlying
various techniques and they need to know the criteria by which they
can decide that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable
to certain problems and others will not.

What type of research design was used?

Exploratory Research Design

Why was this type of design used?

Exploratory research is a type of research conducted because a
problem has not been clearly defined. Exploratory research helps
determine the best research design, data collection method and
selection of subjects. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory

34
research often concludes that a perceived problem does not actually
exist.
Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as
reviewing available literature and/or data, or qualitative approaches
such as informal discussions with consumers, employees, management
or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth
interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies or pilot
studies. The Internet allows for research methods that are more
interactive in nature: E.g., RSS feeds efficiently supply researchers with
up-to-date information; major search engine search results may be
sent by email to researchers by services such as Google Alerts;
comprehensive search results are tracked over lengthy periods of time
by services such as Google Trends; and Web sites may be created to
attract worldwide feedback on any subject.
The results of exploratory research are not usually useful for decision-
making by themselves, but they can provide significant insight into a
given situation. Although the results of qualitative research can give
some indication as to the "why", "how" and "when" something occurs,
it cannot tell us "how often" or "how many."Exploratory research is not
typically generalizable to the population at large.

What data collection methods were used?

Primary Data
Secondary Data
Survey

Primary Data Collection Methods:

In primary data collection, you collect the data yourself using methods
such as interviews and questionnaires. The key point here is that the
data you collect is unique to you and your research and, until you
publish, no one else has access to it.
There are many methods of collecting primary data and the main
methods include:
Questionnaires
Interviews
Focus group interviews

Secondary Data Collection Methods:

All methods of data collection can supply quantitative data (numbers,
statistics or financial) or qualitative data (usually words or text).

35
Quantitative data may often be presented in tabular or graphical form.
Secondary data is data that has already been collected by someone
else for a different purpose to yours.

Survey:
surveys are used to collect quantitative information about items in a
population. Surveys of human populations and institutions are common
in political polling and government, health, social science and
marketing research. A survey may focus on opinions or factual
information depending on its purpose, and many surveys involve
administering questions to individuals. When the questions are
administered by a researcher, the survey is called a structured
interview or a researcher-administered survey. When the questions are

Recommendations

Suggestions AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION

 After surveying the 150 respondents If we compare the data

Pepsi has an edge over coke.
Pepsi has less market share due to its sweeter taste than other
beverages brand and most of the people are in favor of strong
taste.
 General stores sell more soft drink rather than other stores.
 300 ml is a more consumable size by the consumer compare to
other sizes.
 People really are more health conscious still they believe soft
drinks contains pesticides.
 Elders in family prefer less strong drinks like mazza, slice and
fruity.
 Soft drinks become trends among friends.
 The advertisement of pepsi is good which influence the
purchasing behavior of consumers.
 T.V. has more impact to get update people about the pepsi and
brands.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 PEPSI, the choice of youth is not providing the first choice of
young generation. Youth want something strong in cold drinks &

45
 thus prefers strong taste. Pepsi should come out with some extra
strong taste to catch up maximum young generation & to
become exactly Generation Next drink.

 The distribution Channel should be focused on General Stores

because most of the people purchase soft drinks from general
stores.
 The company should update the people about pesticides time to
time because most of the people still afraid of pesticides.
 Most of the elders in the family take soft drinks but not pepsi
they considered more orange and less strong taste company
should come up with new taste keeping elders in its mind to
increase sale and market share.
 People are confused about the role of Pepsi in health company
should clear the soft drink role whether it is beneficial for health
or not.
 Pepsi co should improved its advertisement quality, it should be
realistic not imaginary.
 People get updated by T.V. Pepsi co should increase the updating
by publicity as well as by Hoardings
 Consistency ( Pepsi blue, nimbooz, coke diet )
 Increase number of distributors
 Interchange staff in the market
 Emotional advertisement
 Number of visi
 Services of visi
 Demand effectiveness improper
 Retailer depend on supplier
 Create monopoly market with the help of visi
 Schemes attract to retailer (my can)
 Participation in Olympic games, common
 Wealth games, ICC world cup

LIMITATIONS
 Findings are based on the views expressed by the consumers. So
it may suffer from biased prejudices.
 Weather conditions were not favorable.
 Some of the respondents were not co-operative & many seem to
be having no interest.
 The study has not been intended on a very large scale, have the
possibility of errors, which cannot be ruled out.
46
  Time limitations.
 Area was specified.
 I had lack of knowledge about the product of the local market.
 The sample size was very short for this kind of marketing survey
 Money Limitation was over there.
