FINDINGS

It is found that the customers are not satisfied with the performance of the distribution of services. After survey it is known that most of the outlets are coke monopoly. The survey shows that coke is the market leader & Pepsi is the market challenger The demand of slice & 7up is more than the other product of Pepsi. Maximum outlets are interested to sell cold drinks but they required cooling equipment. The demand for glow signboard, racks by the retailer is so high but is not fulfilled by the company.

The late delivery of the products to the outlets is the responsible to the decrease in market share of Pepsi.

In the case of the scheme Pepsi is providing more schemes than coca-cola.

LIMITATION
1:-Some of the retailer were not ready to be interviewed due to lack of time and some are not interested in getting interviewed in fear of disclosing their privacy. 2:-Sometimes retailers were not able to recall the fact which were asked the question. 3:-Often retailers were reluctant to provide information related to my project. 4:-There are some areas where access to the promotional events for the retailers are quite low. They have a past preference and they are reluctant to use the new products.

SUGGETIONS

The retail outlets should be properly communicated for the schemes offered by the company. The company should check out the commitment it has made with the retailers regarding the offers &prizes properly in time. The demand of cooling equipment by the outlet can be fulfilled. There should be more focus on distribution of Pepsi for which the market shares will not be reduced. Regular visit of technician is required to solve the problems of freeze in the market at the right time. Salesman should have good interaction with the retailers which will increase the sales. Company executives should visit the counter on weekly basis & executives should take the feedback from the

The retailers are strongly satisfied with the scheme offered by Pepsi. And last but not the least I would like to say that I have put my sincere effort to achieve objective which was set during the study.
