whenever the need may arise and they should nothold back any criticism that they might have regardingany management decision.To be an active strategic
partner, they would also need to gain credibility sothat their ideas can be given due importance informulating a strategy.They can achieve this by
working closely with the line managers to enhancetheir understanding of business that they are inespecially in terms of the value chain of Pepsi.Bytaking such initiative, they will not only gain credibilitybut they will enhance their own ability to helpformulate strategy at the top level.They should alsolook into the option of delegating some of the HRfunctions to line managers or outsourcing some of theHR functions so that the HR mangers could focus
more on the strategic aspect of business.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS (Pepsi)
There are two marketing channels that involve in the transfer of productfrom the producer to the consumer. The intermediaries involved in the
transfer are distributors and retailers.
DISTRIBUTORS
Distributors are appointed agents of the company who make orders to the
company by paying in advance through drafts, stock the products in their
godowns and supply them to outlets through their fleet of delivery was and
a team of salesmen and drivers. They are allowed to sell to company's
product to the retailers in a specified area. The company divides this area
into routes. Each route is covered by one unit i.e. one de livery van, one
salesman one driver, one helper etc. These units and godown are their
main investment. Distributors have to invest in empty bottles and crates
too, so t hat they can maintain a specified quantity of reserve stock and
facilitate the quick rotation of glass crates.
RETAILERS
The sale of particular soft drinks depends a lot entirely on retailers wish.
Like if he does not keep Aquafina and if his shop is at the prime location
then certainly the customer with turn towards other cola drinks like Bisleri,
Bailley, Kinley etc. This all goes to prove that retailer is king. So retailers
require special focus from the company. Pepsi Co. helps the retailers to
serve its customer better by providing good margin to them for storing its
product using merchandising to improve in-store product display, installing
- 22 -

23/55
cooling equipment in outlets to make the product ready to drink and offering
different promotion schemes to them time to time to push different brands,
Pepsi Co. Provides a fair margin of RS. 24 per crate to the retailers.
PROMOTION
This includes ad campaigns, sales promotions, new packages and brand
launches. Events this includes sponsoring events at national, state, district
and city level e.g. sports tournaments, rock shows Musical Nights, Dance
competitions, School and college annual festivals etc. Marketing
department at the Unit Office is headed by a Marketing Manager and has
three Marketing Executives.
Advertising & Publicity
Pepsi Co. is one of the biggest and spenders in India. It is also one of the
biggest global ad spenders. It has long a list of endorsers from pop star
Ricky martin to film stars Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bacchan etc. & Cricket
stars Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S Laxman, Harbhajan Singh etc. Hindustan
Thompsom Associates, the biggest advertising agency of India has the
account of Pepsi Co. is known for its board cast as well as non board cast
advertising i.e. hoarding, banners, posters stickers, specialties, hangar,

THE COMPETITORS
The main competitor of Pepsi in cold drink industry is Coca- Cola and ithas the highest market shares in cola industry after Pepsi. Coca-cola is
also a multinational company and well-known name. So there is cutthroatcompetition between the two.
The Pepsi faces competition from the other
local brands also. These local brands are cheap in price so they create a
price competition.

followings
a) Grocery storesb) Eatery shopsc) Convenience shopd) Other retail shops

CHAPTER -2 PROJECT PROFILE
TRAINING OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the executive training is to find out the impact of
merchandising on sale. Which type of activities performs in merchandising
and how it is affect the sale and the buying decision of the customer.
It is known that the products of cold drink industry are impulse in nature.
Mostly the customer doesnt make any pre decision to buy the cold drink.
So to attract the customer towards it when he goes to the shop, the visibility
is very important. The proper display of the items in the shop simply
attracts the customer and it is a very important part of merchandising.
Because of it the Pepsi spends a huge amount on it like the distribution of
many types of racks, Visi-coolers, Display schemes etc.
Outcome can be in the form of:-
Increase in sales.
Knowledge of products to customer.
Attracting of potential customer.
- 29 -
8/6/2019 49942078 Pepsi Report
30/55
MERCHANDISING
First it is important that what the merchandising is, The general mean of
merchandising is to innovate new ideas, which helps to increase the sale
indirectly. A merchandiser can be called a silent salesman because he do
not sale directly but the activities, which he performs, are play a very
important part for increasing the sale. Thats why the companies are
spending a lot of amount on merchandising these days.
Merchandising is purely based on the pull strategy. It affects a lot on the
buying decision of the end user, the customer.
Merchandising is different from advertising because in the former activity
the display of the products and other items attract the concentration of the
customer by saying nothing.
The Pepsi is the market leader in Indian soft drink industry and its products
are impulse in nature. So the role of the merchandising is very important for
it.
Merchandising is the Supply Chain practice of making products in retail
outlets available to consumers, primarily by stocking shelves and displays.
While this used to be done exclusively by the stores' employees, many
retailers have found substantial savings in requiring it to be done by the
manufacturer, vendor, or wholesaler that provides the products to the retail
store.
- 30 -
8/6/2019 49942078 Pepsi Report
31/55
In the UK there are a number of organizations that supply merchandising
services to support retail outlets with general stock replenishment and
merchandising support in new stores, an example is Recruit Retail Services.
By doing this, retail stores have been able to substantially reduce the
number of employees needed to run the store.
While stocking shelves and building displays is often done when the product is
delivered, it is increasingly a separate activity from delivering the product. In
Grocery Stores, for example, almost all products delivered directly to the store
from a manufacturer or wholesaler will be stocked by the
manufacturer's/wholesaler's employee who is a full time merchandiser.
Product categories where this is common are Beverage (all types, alcoholic &
non-alcoholic), Packaged Baked Goods (Bread & Pastries), Magazines &
Books, and Health & Beauty products. For major food manufacturers in the
Beverage and Baked Goods industries, their Merchandisers are often the single
largest employee group within the company. For nationwide branded goods
manufacturers such as The Coca-Cola
Company and [PepsiCo], their respective merchandiser work forces number in
the thousands.

LIMITATION
Lack of the interest of the respondent.
Time constraint
Competitors In merchandising Pepsi is facing competition not onlyfrom the other cold drinks but from the other FMCG brands also. The spacein the shop is limited and every brand wants to be placed where it caneasily visible. Thats why the importance of racks and stands are muchmore for the products of Pepsi.

CONCLUSION
In reference to my topic of project The impact of merchandising of
Pepsi coldrink on the consumer buyingbehavior I come to know that
Pepsi is a well-known brand name and customers prefer it Because
of the impulse type of nature the merchandising plays an important

role. The company timely provides the racks, posters, visi-coolers
and the other items which support to do proper merchandising. There
is a tag line is very popular in cold drink industry, JO DIKHTA HAI
VO BIKTA HAI.
A BOTTLE LOSS TO COKE IS A GAIN TO PEPSI: - The
competition is so strong between the two companies i.e. fighting is on
for each bottle that is to be sold in the market. Competitive bidding
goes on for each & every prestigious outlet in their region.
Monopolizing entries & fat foods joint s is their first priority.
A BOTTLE THAT IS CHILLED IS SOLD: - In the industry it is
considered that a bottle is chilled or putting in cooling compartment is
sold. That is the reason the policy providing triages come up
because according to the contract the shopkeeper has to keep only &
only Pepsis products in the visicooler.
So now the company is focusing more on it to reap the profit.

SUGGESTION
In reference to my research I came to find out that
merchandising helps in buying decision. Recommendations on the
basis of customer are:
1. Different Schemes should be introduced by which their sale will
increase.
2. Some Gifts should be given to the retailers on giving the large orders
so as to motivate
3. The replacement of the defective bottles should be done effectively
on the time.
4. They regularly check the stock of retailers.
5. If the company want to increase the sales in off season should
increase the more and more schemes in comparison to other
beverages
6. There should be a get together and General Meeting between all the
company employees and retailers every Quarter.
