MARKET ANALYSIS OF COCA-COLA & PEPSI

Coke The Coca-Cola formula is The Coca-Cola Company's secret recipe for Coca-Cola. As a publicity marketing strategy started by Robert W. Woodruff, the company presents the formula as one of the most closely held trade secrets ever and only a few employees know or have access to. This Coca-Cola formula appears to be the original formula to Coca-Cola. It is from the book “For God, Country and Coca-Cola”.

PriceIn economics and business, the price is the assigned numerical monetary value of a good, service or asset. Price is also central to marketing where it is one of the four variables in the marketing mix that business people use to develop a marketing plan. Pricing is a big part of the marketing mix. Choosing the right price and the right pricing strategy is crucial to the marketing process. The price of the product is not something that is fixed. On the other hand the price of the product depends on many other factors. Some times the price of the product has got nothing to do with the actual product itself. The price may act as a way to attract target customers. The price of the product is decided keeping many things in mind. These things include factors like cost incurred on the product, target market, competitors, consumer buying capacity etc.

Page 17: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

17

Coke - Price

Coke was a company ruling the markets before Pepsi entered. Earlier the price of coke was cost based i.e. it was decided on the cost which was spent on making the product plus the profit and other expenses.

But after the emergence of other companies especially the likes of Pepsi, Coca-cola started with a pricing strategy based on the basis of competition. Nowadays more expenses are spent on advertising my soft-drink companies rather than on manufacturing.

Coke has brought in a revolution especially in Indian markets with the Rs. 5 pricing strategy which was very famous. It was the first company to introduce the small bottle of Coke for just Re.5. This campaign was very successful especially with the price conscious Indian consumers.

Even today most prices of Coke are decided on the basis of the competition in the market.

Pepsi – Price

Pepsi again decides it price on the basis of competition. The best think about the company Pepsi is that it is very flexible and it can come down with the price very quickly. The company is renowned to bring the price down even up to half if needed.

But this risk taking attitude has also earned Pepsi losses. Though lowering the price would attract the customers but it would not help them cover up the cost incurred in production hence causing them losses.This was the situation earlier but now Pepsi is a full-fledged and growing company. It has covered all its losses and is now growing at a rapid rate.

Page 18: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

Place

Place is a term that has a variety of meanings in a dictionary sense, but which is principally used in a geographic sense as a noun to denote location, though in a sense of a location identified with that which is located there.

In marketing, place refers to one of the 4 P's, defined as "the market place". It can mean a geographic location, an industry, a group of people (a segment) to whom a company wants to sell its products or services, such as young professional women (e.g. for selling cosmetics) or middle-aged family men (e.g. for selling family cars).

Coke - Place

Coke is a multinational company and it has its market around the entire world. This can be said just by the first page on its site which asks people to select the place of their choice. The website looks something like this:

Page 19: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

19

Pepsi – Place

Pepsi again has spread worldwide. Pepsi when entering a new market does not go in alone but it looks for partners and mergers. Till now Pepsi has collaborated with companies like Quaker Oats, Frito-lays, Lipton, Starbucks, etc.

Pepsi like Coke has spread all over the world. It is because of this worldwide spread that now it is coming up with Advertisements which can be broadcasted in the different nations in the world. The recent example with would be the Pepsi advertisements having David Beckham as it brand ambassador.

Promotion

Promotion is one of the four aspects of marketing. Promotion comprises four subcategories:Advertising Personal selling Sales promotion Publicity and public relations

The specification of these four variables creates a promotional mix or promotional plan. A promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the four subcategories, and how much money to budget for each. A promotional plan can have a wide range of objectives, including: sales increases, new product acceptance, creation of brand equity, positioning, competitive retaliations, or creation of a corporate image.

Both the companies Pepsi and coke are famous for their promotions. The rivalry was first started when Pepsi started with its blind taste tests known as the Pepsi Challenge. The challenge is designed to be a direct response to critics who allege that Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola are identical drinks, with no meaningful differences. The challenge takes the form of a taste test. At malls, shopping centers and other public locations, a Pepsi representative sets up a table with two blank cups, one containing Pepsi and one with Coke. Shoppers are encouraged to taste both colas, and then select which drink they prefer. Then the representative reveals the two bottles so the taster can see whether they preferred Coke or Pepsi. If Pepsi is revealed, the shopper is given a small prize. The implication is

Page 20: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

20

that Pepsi tastes better than Coke, and thus consumers should purchase Pepsi.

In blind taste tests, more consumers prefer the taste of Pepsi to that of Coca-Cola. Because Coke was the historical leader, more people expected that they'd prefer and select Coke. Their surprise at picking Pepsi in the blind taste test (products were served in unmarked cups) helped change their minds about which product they prefer. Capturing this on film, Pepsi turned this into a memorable TV campaign that lasted many years.

Also ad-campaigns are put up on the television by both the players. The following statistic just tells of much of share of ads on TV are captured by these players.

Page 21: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

21

In fac t in the next graph you can see how many programs are sponsored by cola companies and the leader among them is Peps i . Mainly Pepsi i s the company sponsor ing most c r icket te lecas ts happening in India and spends most of i t s revenue in tha t f ie ld .

Nowadays both Coke and Pepsi a re going in for Brand Ambassadors to promote the i r product . These brand ambassadors are famous people who usual ly people idol ize and people can re la te to them. The fo l lowing pic tures do not need any explanat ion as people are fami l ia r wi th the ce lebr i t ies and can thus quickly ident i fy wi th the product .

Page 22: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

22

A l is t of Celebr i t ies tha t a re brand ambassadors for the cola companies are as fo l lows. These ce lebr i t ies a re not only asked to work in the adver t i sements but they a lso have to use the product promoted by them and they should not use the companies r iva ls products .

CHAPTER 2 Proposed

Project Details

Page 24: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

PROPOSED PROJECT TITLE:To establish a soft-drink manufacturing company.(The manufacturing unit will produce a mango soft drink)

NAME OF THE PROPOSED COMPANY: “MANJUGO DRINKS MANUFACTURING COMPANY PVT. LTD”

PROPOSED AREA OF OPERATION:Initially the company will operate in and around the cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri and Jagatsinghpur. Later on it will expand to other areas in Orissa.

LOCATION:The proposed location for the manufacturing unit is Mancheswar Industrial Estate, Bhubaneswar. The followings are its advantages:

1. Availability of land on lease2. Transportation facilities are already there. The NH-5 is nearby and

it would be easy for procurement of goods and distribution of finished products.

3. Since it is near the city, labour is available.

Page 25: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

25

4. It would be easy for setting up the plant and bringing in the machineries. If we locate in any other place (like a village region) it would be difficult.

5. Electricity supply is easily available6. Since it is an industrial area, all facilities are there.

TARGET SEGMENT:The product (mango soft-drink) is meant for all age segments (all age groups and income class) but the main focus will be on the segment aged 5-25 years. This includes two age groups: children and teen-aged people.Mango flavored drink is liked by all age groups and in the scorching summer heat of Orissa such drinks are in great demand. In such a scenario, our product which contains natural fruit extracts will be favored by all.The main focus, as has been mentioned, will be on children and teen-aged people, i.e., school and college going people. Because market survey reveals that 75% of the soft-drink consumers are in this age group. So it will be very profitable to target this segment.

Page 26: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

26

There are many competitors in the category of soft-drink, but still there is lot of potential in this market.

PRODUCT:Name: MANJUGO

Type: mango soft-drink

Contents:1. Mango extract

2. Sugar syrup

3. Citric acid

Page 27: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

27

4. Sodium Citrate

5. Permitted Food Preservatives

6. Synthetic food color

Page 28: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

28

7. Carbonated water

Manufacturing process:The manufacturing process can be summed up as follows:

Clarifying the water

The quality of water is

crucial to the success of a

soft drink. Impurities,

such as suspended

particles, organic matter,

and bacteria, may degrade

taste and color. They are

generally removed

through the traditional

process of a series of

coagulation, filtration,

and chlorination.

Coagulation involves

mixing a gelatinous

precipitate, or floc (ferric

sulphate or aluminum

sulphate), into the water.

Page 29: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

29

The floc absorbs

suspended particles,

making them larger and

more easily trapped by

filters. During the

clarification process,

alkalinity must be

adjusted with an addition

of lime to reach the

desired pH level.

Filtering, sterilizing, and dechlorinating the water

The clarified water is

poured through a sand

filter to remove fine

particles of floc. The

water passes through a

layer of sand and courser

beds of gravel to capture

the particles.

Sterilization is necessary

to destroy bacteria and

organic compounds that

might spoil the water's

taste or color. The water

is pumped into a storage

tank and is dosed with a

small amount of free

chlorine.

Page 30: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

30

The chlorinated water

remains in the storage

tank for about two hours

until the reaction is

complete.

Next, an activated carbon

filter dechlorinates the

water and removes

residual organic matter,

much like the sand filter.

A vacuum pump de-

aerates the water before it

passes into a dosing

station.

Mixing the ingredients

The dissolved sugar and

flavor concentrates are

pumped into the dosing

station in a predetermined

sequence according to

their compatibility. The

ingredients are conveyed

into batch tanks where

they are carefully mixed;

too much agitation can

cause unwanted aeration.

The syrup may be

sterilized while in the

tanks, using ultraviolet

radiation or flash

pasteurization, which

involves quickly heating

and cooling the mixture.

Page 31: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

31

Fruit based syrups

generally must be

pasteurized.

The water and syrup are

carefully combined by

sophisticated machines,

called proportioners,

which regulate the flow

rates and ratios of the

liquids. The vessels are

pressurized with carbon

dioxide to prevent

aeration of the mixture.

Carbonating the beverage

Carbonation is generally

added to the finished

product, though it may be

mixed into the water at an

earlier stage. The

temperature of the liquid

must be carefully

controlled since carbon

dioxide solubility

increases as the liquid

temperature decreases.

Many carbonators are

equipped with their own

cooling systems. The

amount of carbon dioxide

pressure used depends on

the type of soft drink. For

instance, fruit drinks

require far less

carbonation than mixer

Page 32: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

32

drinks, such as tonics,

which are meant to be

diluted with other liquids.

The beverage is slightly

over-pressured with

carbon dioxide to

facilitate the movement

into storage tanks and

ultimately to the filler

machine.

Filling and packaging

The finished product is

transferred into hard

plastic-paper packs that

are portable. There is

fully automated packing

machine.

Because soft drinks are

generally cooled during

the manufacturing

process, they must be

brought to room

temperature before

labeling to prevent

condensation from

ruining the labels. This is

usually achieved by

spraying the containers

with warm water and

drying them. Labels are

then affixed to bottles to

provide information about

the brand, ingredients,

shelf life, and safe use of

Page 33: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

33

the product. Most labels

are made of paper though

some are made of a

plastic film.

Finally, containers are

packed into cartons or

trays which are then

shipped in larger pallets

or crates to distributors.

MACHINERY REQUIRED:1. Water treatment equipment2. Crushing juice extractor3. Sugar melting boiler4. Syrup Filter5. Homogenizer6. Pump7. Soda machine8. Sterilizer9. Temperature Insulating storage Tank

10. Automatic Packaging machine11. Feeling machine12. Cooling Machine

PROPOSED PACKAGING:

Page 34: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

34

Initially the soft-drink will be available only in 200 ml paper pack along with a straw. The packs will be rectangular in shape. The paper packs are portable, i.e., easy to carry. Moreover they are bio degradable and hence environment friendly.

PROPOSED PRICE:

The competitors are charging a price of around Rs. 10/- per 100 ml. The price of our product initially will be Rs.11/- per 200 ml.

Manufacturing cost (fixed cost & variable cost = Rs.5/-Advertising Expenses = Re.1/-

Dealers commission = Re.1/-Profit margin = Rs.4/-

Total cost = Rs.11/-

Advantages of such price:It is affordable. The target segment does not have an income of its own, in such case, our product’s price is an attraction. While other competing products are available at rs.10/- for 100 ml, our product is double the quantity at just rs.1/- more.This price will help us in penetrating the market.

PROMOTION

The promotion of the product will be done in the following stages:

Page 35: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

35

1. Pamphlets

Along with the launch of the product, paper pamphlets will be distributed near schools and colleges and at major traffic points.

Page 36: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

36

2.NewspapersThe next stage would be promotional advertisements in popular local newspapers like “Dharitri”, “Samaj”, “Sambad”, “Prajatantra”, “The New Indian Express”.

Page 37: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

37

3.Hoardings/Billboards and behind Auto rickshaws and Trucks

4.

Advertisements in local TV channels like OTV etc.

The promotion has to be given great importance because the market for mango soft-drinks is highly competitive with around 15 other players. The main positive point in our

Page 38: MANGO SOFTDRINK PROJECTS BY ASHIK MAHAPATRA

38

product is its pure mango extracts and affordable pricing. Unless these points are portrayed to the future customers and registered in their minds, they will not identify it. The product has to be positioned effectively in their minds.

PLACE (DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL):

Products will be sold through shops (Beetle shops, ration shops, ice cream and juice centre), malls (Food bazaar, super markets, etc), canteens (college and school canteens mainly and also office canteens). The company will not have its own outlet. Distribution will be done through agencies.

Around 50 people will be employed in the manufacturing units. The company has to make provisions for their remuneration (salary, wages, etc.). The company has to keep a working capital of Rs.10,00,000/- in hand for purchase of Raw materials and other expenditure.If on an average say, the company keeps a salary provision and misc provision of Rs.5,00,000/- then in the first year the net profit will be around Rs. 5,00,000.00 (200000-100000-500000)In the second year the net profit would be around Rs. 9,00,000/-In the third year also the net profit is around Rs. 9,00,000.00So, by the end of 3rd year the company can repay the loan amount of Rs.17,00,000 along with any interest and also pay for renewal of the land lease. Thus the project is economically viable.
