associates of this Company jointly take responsibility to ensure compliance with

limiting business risks.
HISTORY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
Coca-Cola was first introduced by John Syth Pemberton, a pharmacist, in the year 1886 in
Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged
brass kettle in his backyard. He first distributed the product by carrying it in a
jug down the street to Jacobs Pharmacy and customers bought the drink for five
cents at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup,
whether by accident or otherwise, producing a drink that was proclaimed
delicious and refreshing, a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-
Cola is enjoyed.
Dr. Pembertons partner and book-keeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and penned
Coca-Cola in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide even today.
He suggested that the two Cs would look well in advertising. The first
newspaper ad for Coca-Cola soon appeared in The Atlanta Journal, inviting
- 8 - HABIBURRAHMAN

thirsty citizens to try the new and popular soda fountain drink. Hand-painted oil
cloth signs reading Coca-Cola appeared on store awnings, with the suggestions
Drink added to inform passersby that the new beverage was for soda fountain
refreshment.
By the year 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. The first year, Dr. Pemberton
sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. Red has been a
distinctive color associated with the soft drink ever since. For his efforts, Dr.
Pemberton grossed $50 and spent $73.96 on advertising. Dr. Pemberton never
realized the potential of the beverage he created. He gradually sold portions of his
business to various partners and, just prior to his death in 1888, sold his remaining
interest in Coca-Cola to Asa G. Candler, an entrepreneur from Atlanta. By the
year 1891, Mr. Candler proceeded to buy additional rights and acquire complete
ownership and control of the Coca-Cola business. Within four years, his
merchandising flair had helped expand consumption of Coca-Cola to every state
and territory after which he liquidated his pharmaceutical business and focusedhis full attention on the soft drink. With his brother, John S. Candler, John
Pembertons former partner Frank Robinson and two other associates, Mr.Candler
formed a Georgia corporation named the Coca-Cola Company. The trademark
Coca-Cola, used in the marketplace since 1886, was registered in the United
States Patent Office on January 31, 1893. The business continued to grow, and in
1894, the first syrup manufacturing plant outside Atlanta was opened in Dallas,
Texas. Others were opened in Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California, the
following year. In 1895, three years after The Coca-Cola Companys
incorporation, Mr. Candler announced in his annual report to share owners that
Coca-Cola is now drunk in every state and territory in the United States.

Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early
growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed
that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.
YEAR WISE HISTORY OF BOTTLING:
Year 1894: A modest start for a bold idea
In a candy store in Vicksburg, Mississippi, brisk sales of the new fountain beverage called Coca-
Cola impressed the store's owner, Joseph A. Biedenharn. He began bottling Coca-
Cola to sell, using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson. Biedenharn sent a
case to Asa Griggs Candler, who owned the Company. Candler thanked him but
took no action. One of his nephews already had urged that Coca-Cola be bottled,
but Candler focused on fountain sales.
Year 1899: The first bottling agreement
Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a business aroundbottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph
B. Whitehead obtained exclusive rights to bottle Coca-Cola across most of the
United States for a sum of one dollar. A third Chattanooga lawyer, John T.
Lupton, soon joined their venture.
Years 1900-1909: Rapid growth
The three pioneer bottlers divided the country into territories and sold bottling rights to local
entrepreneurs. Their efforts were boosted by major progress in bottling
technology, which improved efficiency and product quality. By 1909, nearly 400
Coca-Cola bottling plants were operating, most of them family-owned businesses.
Some were open only during hot-weather months when demand was high.
- 11 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project
12/75
Year 1916: Birth of the Contour Bottle
Bottlers worried that Coca-Cola's straight-sided bottle was easily confused with imitators. A
group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer
ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre
Haute, Indiana won enthusiastic approval. The Contour Bottle became one of the
few packages ever granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it isone of the most recognized icons in the world.
In the 1920s: Bottling overtakes fountain sales
As the 1920s dawned; more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the U.S. Their ideas
and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were a huge hit starting in 1923.
A few years later, open-top metal coolers became the forerunners of automated
vending machines. By the end of the 1920s, bottle sales of Coca-Cola exceeded
fountain sales.
In the 1920s and 1930s: International expansion
Led by Robert W. Woodruff, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, the Company
began a major push to establish bottling operations outside the U.S. Plants were
opened in France, Guatemala, Honduras,Mexico, Belgium, Italy and South
Africa. By the time World War II began,Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44
countries.
In the 1940s: Post-war growth
During the war, 64 bottling plants were set up around the world to supply the troops. This
followed an urgent request for bottling equipment and materials from General
- 12 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project
13/75
Eisenhower's base in North Africa. Many of these war-time plants were later
converted to civilian use, permanently enlarging the bottling system and
accelerating the growth of the Company's worldwide business.
In the 1950s: Packaging innovations
For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type-the traditional 6.5
ounce Contour Bottle, or larger servings including 10, 12 and 26 ounce versions.
Cans were also introduced, becoming generally available in 1960.
In the 1960s: Introduction of new brands
Sprite, Fanta, Fresca and TAB joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb and Mello Yello
were added in the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke and Cherry Coke,
followed by PowerAde and Fruitopia in the 1990s. Today scores of other brands
are offered to meet consumer preferences in local markets around the world.
In the 1970s and 1980s: Consolidation to serve customers
Advancement in technology led to global economy, retail customers of The Coca-Cola Company
merged and evolved into international mega chains.
Such customers required a new approach. In response, many small and medium-size bottlers
consolidated to better serve giant international customers. The Company
encouraged and invested in a number of bottler consolidations to assure that its
largest bottling partners would have capacity to lead the system in working with
global retailers.
In the 1990s: New and growing markets
- 13 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project
14/75
Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or underdeveloped for
decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company invested heavily to build
plants in Eastern Europe. As the century closed, more than $1.5 billion was
committed to new bottling facilities in Africa.
21st Century: Coca-Cola today
The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local communities. This
heritage serves the Company well today as consumers seek brands that honorlocal identity and the distinctiveness of local markets.

The Coca-Cola System in India includes 24 Company-owned bottling operations and another 25
franchisee-owned bottling operations that directly employ 5,500 local people and
create jobs for another 150,000.
Virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola products locally
including our Kinley water brand launched in 2000, Shock, an energy drink
launched in 2001, and Sunfill, our first powdered concentrate, also launched in
2001 are made in India, ensuring that the benefits of such enterprises remain in
the local communities in which they operate. For as long as weve been in India,
The Coca-Cola Company and our independent bottlers have been engaged at the
international, national and community levels to support programs that protect the
environment, conserve water, promote education, and provide healthcare.
Re-launch
Despite its strong overall equity, the brand was losing its popularity among the core cola
drinking age group of 12 to 25 year olds, partly due to nil advertising.
Coca-Cola apparently did try to kill Thums Up, but soon realized that Pepsi would benefit more
than Coke if Thums Up was withdrawn from the market. Instead, Coke decided to
use Thums Up to attack Pepsi. The Coca-Cola Company by this time had about
60.5% share of the Indian soft-drink market [1] but much to its dismay found out
- 16 - HABIBURRAHMAN

17/75
that if it took out Thums Up, it would remain with only 28.72% of the market
(according to a report by NGO Finance&Trade in India), hence it once again
dusted out the Thums Up brand and re-launched it targeting the 30 to 45 year
olds.
The brand was re-positioned as a manly drink, drawing on its strong taste qualities. Known to
be a strong drink with more power packed into it than other colas, it was a
favorite in Rum based Cocktails, as in rum and Thums Up. Thums Up kick-
started an aggressive campaign directly attacking Pepsis TV ads, focusing on the
strength of the drink hoping that the depiction of an adult drink would appeal to
young consumers. Grow up to Thums Up was a successful campaign. The
brands market share and equity soared. The brand was unshakeable and Coca-
Colas declaration that Thums Up was Indias premier cola brand in terms of
market share did not surprise many.
Other campaigns from Thums Up build on its strength and its perception as a macho drink.
Ads showing the Thums Up man, riding through the desert in search of a cantina
that sells Thums Up rather than drink another cola, stuck in the minds of many
Indians and caught the imagination of youngsters who want to be seen as men.

exploding with beverages, fruit juices, aerated drinks etc.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
CHOICE OF RESEARCH DESIGN AND ALTERNATIVES
Research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted. It constitutes the
blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. Research design is
purely and simply the framework to ensure that the required data are collected
accurately and economically. A good research design has following
characteristics:
Problem Definition
Specific method of data collection and analysis
Time required for research project
Estimation of expenses to be concerned
I have used Exploratory Research Design for my study. The reason for using this design is that
there is a less experience and knowledge about the market and the main emphasis
during the research was to discover ideas regarding awareness level of people,
therefore I wanted to use a design which is flexible.
Exploratory Research Design was perfect for such research and it provided me the opportunity
for considering various other aspects related to my study.

QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD
This method of data is quite popular. A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed
in definite order on a form. The respondents have to answer them on their own. I
constructed a questionnaire containing 12 questions related to my objective of the
project. It is enclosed in the reports.
Advantages:-
The responses are gathered in a standardized way, it is in close-ended form.
Generally it is relatively quick to collect information.
However in some situations they can take a long time not only to design but also to apply and
analysis.
Disadvantages:-
Questionnaires are standardized so it is not possible to explain any points in the questions that
participants might misinterpret.
Respondents may answer superficially especially if the questionnaire takes a long time to
complete.
- 43 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project
44/75
Respondents may not be willing to answer the questions. They might not wish to reveal the
information or they might think that they will not benefit from responding perhaps
even be penalized by giving their real opinion.
SECONDARY SOURCES:-
The data was collected through internet.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT USED:-
In this project questionnaire method is used to collect data due to following reasons:-
Written questionnaires are more cost effective as the number of research questions increases.
Questionnaires are easy to analyze. Data entry and tabulation for nearly all surveys can be easily
done with many computer software packages.
Questionnaires are familiar to most people. Nearly everyone has had some experience
completing questionnaires and they generally do not make people apprehensive.
Questionnaires reduce bias. There is uniform question presentation and no middleman bias. The
researchers own opinions will not influence the respondent to answer questions in
a certain manner.
There are no verbal or visual clues to influence the respondent.
Questionnaires are less intrusive.

The store is categorized on the basis of their sales, it mean Diamond, Gold, Silver.
Retailers do not get the company's actual schemes.
Some sales man does not make bills for the retailers.
If retailers complaints regarding discounting and schemes then he is not responded properly.
There is a tough competition between the major brands of soft drinks companies in the market
namely Coca Cola and Pepsi.
Frooti and Maaza were available on all the outlets which I have covered.
Pepsi provides very liberal credit facilities to the retailer where as Coke doesnt provide such
facilities.
Some of the retailers said that the sale of all the juices are equal as per the customers taste and
preferences.
The findings made conclusion that Frooti and Slice are also giving tuff competition as far as
other juices are concerned.
Retailers have also appreciated the Distribution services of Coke products.
Pepsi provides a better promotional schemes and services as compared to Coca Cola.
There is less advertisement of Maaza at the point of purchase.
Customers are buying Maaza because of its great taste and also of better quality with reasonable
price.
There is a less display of Maaza on the outlets.

CONCULUSION
Every thing in this world is made to utilize properly but it should be reach at the proper person or
to the proper utilized areas. Otherwise the value added to those things became in
vein. As there is a prove "far from eye, far from heart" thus marketing role plays a
very important role in achieving the objectives of a company, undoubtly, valueutility is created by the manufacture of products or service but time and place
utilities are created by marketing role, according to Drucker, "both the market and
the distribution channels are often more crucial than the products", they are
primary : the products is secondary. in an economy like that of India, where
marginal shortages can lead to disproportation distortion in prices,a dependable
and efficient distribution system creates a value adds to all most all products.
All from the above study not withst anding its restructing efforts pepsi is still far away with itsgreat competition like coke.
- 68 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project

SUGGESTIONS
The company should measure Retailers satisfaction regularly.
Company can increase the sales when it considering more on retailers, theirsuggestions or complaints about service or product so that necessary action can betaken.
Review meeting should be often held so that the working pattern of the executives can bechecked and improved if needed.
Company representatives should visit retailers and should make a long - term relationship withretailer so that they can push the product.
Since customers are value maximizes and their expectation to this brand is high, as the brand
image shows their quality is supervene so the company should also take feed backat time to time. By this they can make their brand loyal.
Distributers should be convinced to pass the incentives to the retailers so that they are motivatedto promote this brand.
Increase the number of dealers and retailers as this will help in making high sales volume.
Cash discount should be competitive and luring.
Try to continue the good image of the outlets by keeping more and more good quality inservices. By this the monopoly will continue with Coke products.
Company should attains on small outlets so there sales can increase.
Aggressive selling is required by Coke. Visibility of the brand should be more, thereforehoardings, posters, glow signs should be provided to the retailers.
The company should come up with better promotional schemes and services.
- 69 - HABIBURRAHMAN
8/7/2019 coke summer project
70/75
The company should also have to concentrate on competitive rates and schemes of theircompetitors.
If the retailer gets some money then they will work hard to increase the sale of the product in themarket.
The company should launch more new flavors and brands in juices.
To attract more and more customers constant upgrading and improving of the products must bedone in order to compete with their competitors.
The company should follow the Push Strategy and Just Noticeable Difference (JND) in order toincrease its sale.
Promises made by the company or any employee should be fulfilled timely.
For marketing strategy of company should divers it business in related this sector Like - Icecreams, butter & chocolates because of company have visi coolers in mostlyoutlets.
Now company should launch new taste of soft drinks like recently launched Minute Maid & alsolaunched new product in another flavour.
Company should search area for increasing in sales.
In winter Season Company gives discount & schemes to retailers so they sell more our product.
Company must make new strategy to fight local cold drinks brands.

LIMITATIONS
The study is only confined to retailers and so the preferences of actual consumers could not be
taken.
A busy schedule of dealers/ retailers also makes the collation of information a very difficult one.
Non co-operative behavior of respondent was a big problem in this survey.
The retailers may or may not reveal the true informations.
Time factor acted as a big constraint because it is too difficult to cover all the outlets.
Maximum effort was made to survey each outlet but some of the outlets may be missed.
Sometimes the right person was not at the place so it was difficult to get any information related
with my project.
Sometimes some respondents were not in full mood to give the answers of our questions so some
of the answers may not be exact.
While interviewing respondents were confused about their own answer.
Some of the retailers were not co-operative.
