 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Good marketers want information to help them to interpret past performance

as well as plan future activities. They need to make the best possible tactical
decision in the short run and strategic decisions in the long run. Discovering
a consumer insight and understanding its market implications can often lead
to a successful product launch or spur the growth of a brand.

Types of research -
1) Exploratory research:

The exploratory research design is appropriate for any problem in which a

very little knowledge is available. An exploratory study is the nature of
preliminary phase and is absolutely essential in order to obtain a proper
definition of problem in hand. So it is helpful in breaking broad and vague
problems into smaller and making it more precise to understand the basic
issue.
In this study, the exploratory research has been used and individuals with
knowledge and ideas have been interviewed to come out to a certain
conclusion.

2) OBSERVATION METHOD

As per the data collected and as per the regular visits in the field area various
observations were made and after personal interviewing the retailers, I came
to know the loopholes and the distribution network in the area.
 FINDINGS

Based on the data collected, following conclusions were made:

 As per the data collected, the pepsico products/brands share in naya

gaon area constitutes 37% and that of coke brands constitute 63%
 The share calculated in kishangarh ares contains 49% share of pepsi
brands and 51% share of coke brands.
 The market share of pepsico brands in indira colony area includes
44% and that of coke brands include 56%
 The analysis done in darua area comes to a conclusion that pepsico
brands have a majority in the area and contains 61% of its brands
as compared to 39% of its competitor brand coke
 The calculated share in the manimajra area constitutes 52% of pepsi
brands and 48% of coke brands.
 As per my findings, I came to a conclusion that pepsi brands share is
less in naya gaon and indira colony area. They lack behind in these
areas in terms of market share.
 After personal interviewing with the retailers, I came to know that the
retailers face a major supply problem of pepsi brands in the region
of naya gaon and kishangarh area.
 Many a times, proper information of the retailers schemes is not
provided to the retailers and this results in shifting of sales of pepsi
brands to coke brands as retailers prefer to sale those products
which ultimately earns a source of better income for them.
 Pepsi is competing tough in the areas of kishangarh and manimajra as
there is less difference in the share of both the companies brands.
 Pepsico need to come up with more business strategies in order to
capture a larger share in the naya gaon area as it is lacking behind
in the terms of market share in this area.
