Recommendations :
It is believed that RGB(refill glass bottle) should be replaced with Pet bottles of same size because it will solve out all the problems which are as follow : For Retailers
Breakage No empty bottles required to fill carat No extra space required to keep the carat outside shop
For Company
To carry the empty carat back to manufacturing unit to refill again Cost will be reduced Pet bottle are cheaper than Glass bottle Process of rinsing and washing RGB bottle again will be eliminated which will lead to less wastage of water.
Coke should maintain good relationship with vendors, solving any problem with in no time should be done.
Due to the current prices, an eyebrow raiser for some, the product could be sold in packs of 2 or more and there could be a price reduction.
New flavors can be introduced into the market as early as possible consumers were eager to know if the drink would come in more flavors, health drinks like milk proteins content soft drink can be invented Younger generation are more interested in soft drinks ,so new openings in institutional areas should be increased Use some proper methodology to provide the information about the schemes directly to the retailers. Company has to try to sort out the personal misunderstandings between distributors and retailers.
