EXPLAINATION:-
Chart 1 clearly shows that 129 outlets were not selling Diet PEPSI 71 were selling Pepsi Diet
The reasons behind this were:-
1. Some retailers thought that Diet will not move in their outlet as customers were unaware and there were no enquiries 2. Some areas are underdeveloped, and from our survey I feel that Pepsi Diet is the product which will move in the upper middle class locality 3. The other reason was that the supply of Diet was stopped in Mysore for a particular period, so these retailers did not knew about the of Diet Pepsi availability now. 4. When visited colleges the price of Diet was a problem. As many canteen owners said that if the price would be Rs. 10 it could be better.

Explanation:Chart 2 shows the number of cases sold before and during my project. The figures indicate the number of cases sold from April to June and each case consist of 24 bottles/tins.
When we look at the chart2 we get a clear picture of sales raising in the month of May (178 cases) compared to the sales figure of April (90 cases).
There was a drastic fall in the month of June (85 cases) as the monsoon already hit Mysore in the first week of June.
The sales figure of July was not available as my project completed in the mid of July and the sales results/figures will be available only at the end of the month.

SUGGESTIONS
60
Impact of sales promotion activities on the sales of diet Pepsi 1.
Print Media: - Print Media plays an important role after
electronic media, because in the electronic media advertisements will be of hardly one minute and may not convey the full details. Pamphlets should be used as well as newspapers.
2.
Hoardings:- Hoardings is also referred to print media but the
difference is that it should be displayed properly on the road side where it can catch publics eye.
3.
Canvassing:- As Diet is the product which can very well move
into the youth so canvassing should be done around the colleges and around/in the companies where the youths are working like Infosys, L&T etc and even nearby colleges
4.
Free Sampling to software company/ company employees
5.
Giving free liquid of 50 ml with same pricing on an NRGB
6. 10
In place of giving of schemes like 100 ml free reduce its price to Rs
COST OF THE SUGGESTIONS
61
PRINT MEDIA: The cost of print media will be less and it is a means of mass communication.
Hoardings:- It is one time investment and can be displayed till maximum days. So
investing into this is not a wrong decision.
Canvassing:- Though it is costly but it plays as an important role in displaying the

product because it will be face to face communication.
