INTRODUCTION
HISTORY OF COCA-COLA
By 1886, sales of Coca Cola averaged nine drinks per day. That first year,
Dr. Pemberton sold 25 gallons of syrop, shipped in bright red wooden kgs
.red has been a distinctive color associated with the No.1 soft drink brand
ever since. For this efforts, Dr. Palmerton grossed $50 and spent $73.96 on
advertising.
Back then, sod a bottles were all very similar and Coca-Cola has many
imitators, which consumers would be unable to identify until they took a sip.
The answer way to create a distinct bottle for Coca Cola. As a result the
genuine Coca Cola bottle with the contour shape now known the world way
developed in 1915 by the red Glass company.
THE BOTTLING SYSTEM
The day Coca Cola reach consumers and customer around the world through
a vast distribution network made up of local bottling companies. These
bottlers are located around the world, and most are independent business.
Using concentrates and beverages bases produced by the Coca Cola
company, our bottling partners package and market products, the distribute
them to more than & million customer and more than 2 million vending
machines around the world.
The Coca Cola company is committed to assisting its bottlers with the
function of an efficient bottling operation. Quality contract, ministered
constantly by the company is necessary to produce high quality soft drinks.
TRADE MARKS
Our trademarks are our most valuable ossets. The trademark “Coca-Cola”
was registered with the U.S. patent and trademark office in 1893, followed
by “Coke” in 1945 the unique contour bottle, familiar to consumers every
when, way granted registration is a trademark by the U.S. patent and
trademark office in 1977, in honor a warded to few other packages. In
1982, the Coca Cola company introduced diet Coke is U.S. consumer
marking the first extension of me company’s most precious trademark to
another product later years saw the introduction DP additional products
bearing the Coca Cola name which now emcon passes a powerful line of six
Coal products.
Today, the world’s favorite soft drink Coca Cola the world best known and
most admired trademark; recognized by more than 90 percent of the world
population.
PRODUCT ADVANCEMENT
In 1985, a new Cola emerged from laboratory research. Through internal
evaluation and thousand by blind taste tests, consumer said they preferred it
over both Coca Cola and its primary competition. As a result. In April 1985,
the company proudly introduced the new taster of coke the first change in
the secrete formula since my product way created in 1886.
The launch of Coke with the new taste took place in the United State and
Canada.
The world has changed in many ways since pharmacist, John Styth
Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta,
Georgia. However, the pure and simple magic of one thing remains the same
Coca-Cola the name and the product mean so many good things to hundred
of millions of consumers around the globe. Coca-Cola products are served
more than 7 05 million times long way to come after such a modest
beginning..
May 1986
Pemberton concocted a caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle
in his backyard. He first “distribute” the new product by carrying Coca-Cola
in jug down the street to Jacobas Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could
enjoy a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or
accident, carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, producing a
drink that was proclaimed “Delicious and Refreshing”. Dr. Pemberton’s
partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and
penned, in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide today.

SLOGANS FORM THE 1900’S
Since the early 1980s, soft drink consumption has grown at a rate of 3
percent annually both domestically and internationally; during that same
period, Coke’s volume has grown 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
Coca-Cola international prowess has played a major role in its dominance.
In fact, Coca-Cola earns over 70 percent of its profits aboard. Whereas in the
United States Coca-Cola captures a 44 percent market share versus Pepsi’s
31 percent, it outsells Pepsi 3 to 1 overseas and boasts 4 of the world’s 5
leading soft drink brands: Coca-Cola, diet Coke, Sprite, and Fanta. Coca-
Cola has handed Pepsi a number of crushing international setbacks. As a
result, Pepsi has recently experience flat or declining international soda
sales. During the same period, Coca-Cola has reported strong growth in
Latin America and grew a stunning 20 percent in China, 17 percent in India,
and 16 percent in the Philippines. Pepsi is new retrenching its efforts aboard
by focusing on emerging markets-China, India, and Indonesia-where Coke is
growing but does not yet dominate. Together, these three emerging markets
boast 2.4 billion people, nearly half the world’s total population. With their
young populations, exploding incomes, and underdeveloped soft drink
demand, they represent prime potential for Coca-Cola and Pepsi. For
example, China’s 1.2 billion consumers-drink an average of only 5 servings
of soda per year, compared with 343 in the united states, crating heady
opportunity for growth. Indonesia, with 200 million people, nearly all of
whom are Muslims for-bidden to consume alcohol, is what one top Coca-
Cola executive calls a “soft drink paradise”.
But even in these emerging markets, Pepsi will find the going rough in the
face of Coca-Cola’s international marketing savvy and heavy investment.
For instance, by the turn of the century, Coca-Cola will have spent almost $2
billion building state-of-the-art Asian bottling plants and distribution
systems. And Coca-Cola possesses proven marketing prowess. It carefully
tailors its ads and other marketing efforts for each local market. For
example, its Chinese New Year television ad featured a dragon in a holiday
parade, adorned form head to tail with red Coke cans. The spot concluded,
“for many centuries, the color red has been the color for good luck and
prosperity. Who are we to argue with ancient wisdom? In India, Coca-Cola
aggressively cultivates a local image. It claimed official sponsorship for
World Cup Cricket, a favorite national sport, and used Indian cricket fans
rather than actors to promote Coke products. Coca-Cola markets effectively
to both retailers and imbibers. Observes one Coke watcher, “the company
hosts massive gatherings of up to 15,000 retailers to showcase everything
from the latest coolers and refrigerators, which Coke has for loan, to
advertising displays. And its salespeople go house-to-house in their quest for
new customers. In new Delhi alone, workers handed out more than 100,000
free bottles of Coke and Fanta last year.
For me above survey method I have followed the following two types
of method for my project:-

Road and various out lets of those routes.
e) Firstly, we have to 0 serve the market condition of
the routed.
f) These route ride helped me to new various routes
and identify the outlets.
ii) Survey Through Personal Interview : In this method the
in formation gathered directly sami individuals & home I

SAMPLING PLAN
c. Elementary retailers.
1. The company didi not provide any financial support for the
project.
3. The time allowed for the project was very short ( 6 weeks). It was
impossible to study deeply in that short period.
The soft drink market of India are by and large controlled and governed
by the soft drink giant company, COCA-COLA and PEPSI. Except
these two, there is a very weak and limited participation is felt by the
CADBURY SCHWEEP.
The only presence of the two giant company doesn’t mean absence of
competition rather a neck to neck competition, a dual of strategy and
counter strategy is all time present to capture a greater market share.
For extracting the total strength, two companies have a wide variety of
soft drink.
Different flavour and different packs are available from both the
companies. Let us take a glimpse of the different flavour available for
both the company.

FINDINGS
With the predetermined objective for finding the customer demand and
retailers respondent for Coca-Cola product is Shahadara area. A detail
survey of the retailer and proper analysis of the available data has been
done.
From the analysis of the data, it can be concluded that the market
share of Coca-Cola is more than the market share of Pepsi. The
demand of Coca-Cola’s product is more with the comparison of Pepsi
product.
Supply of various flavours is not adequate. Flavour likes Limca and
Maaza have a high customer demand, but their supply is irregular.
Competitors are taking advantage of this
Replacement procedure of faulty bottles is very low. It promotes
retairs dissatisfaction.
It can be noticed that the company has spent a lot on its advertising
and sales promotion, its sales are better. The only thing that is lacking
to some extent is service. So by enhancing the quality of service and
also by modifying some of the routes of distribution, the company can
gain more turnover from the market what the company just doing is
just concentrating on increasing the sales without bothering the
relationship with the retailers. So, instead of relying on volume of
sales, the company should try to build a long-lasting relationship with
the retailers.

lifestyle. A healthy diet incorporates the basic principles of variety, balance and
moderation without sacrificing enjoyment.

Key Facts
HISTORY OF BOTTLING
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.
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
Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a
business around bottling 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 the sum of one dollar. A third Chattanooga
lawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their venture.
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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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 honor local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was
true a century ago, strong locally based relationships between Coca-Cola
bottlers, customers and communities are the foundation on which the entire
business grows
BOTTLING TODAY
Think local, act local
From the world's largest cities to its most remote villages, our bottling system
is made up of locally rooted enterprises committed to quality. The Coca-Cola
Company bottling partners are always local businesses, exerting a strong
influence on economic development and actively participating in community
life through local events and philanthropic activities.
Bottlers and Customers
Bottlers are a critical local link. They sell our brands to businesses and
institutions, retail chains, supermarkets, restaurants, small neighborhood grocers,
sports and entertainment venues, schools and colleges, among others. These
customers, in turn, are where you go when you want a Coke® or one of our other
brands.
For each of our customers, providing the right mix of Company products and
packages at the right price is the foundation of mutual success. Local consumer
tastes determine the brands and package types a particular customer wants us
to supply. Bottlers in many countries offer tours of their facilities to schoolchildren
and adult groups. Contact the local bottler in your region for more information on
tours and other activities that our bottlers sponsor.
If you ask Peter Anderson, project director of the Plastic Redesign Project (PRP),
The Coca-Cola Company has spurred a revolution in the economics of plastics
recycling, with its decision three years ago to establish a public goal for using
recycled content in PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles.
The PRP is a coalition of local and state recycling officials. It works constructively
with packagers to improve the economics of plastics recycling by designing
plastic bottles for recyclability and by increasing the use of recycled content in
plastic bottles.
According to Anderson, the PET recycling system had struggled financially for
years. Because of the size and influence of The Coca-Cola Company, their 2000
commitment jolted the market and initiated an overall improvement to the
industry. He revealed that the company can claim responsibility for increasing the
demand for recycled PET, expanding the size of the RPET (recycled PET) bottle
market, creating a standard for other beverage companies to follow that should
eventually double the impact, and helping to develop technological innovation
that is anticipated to bring down the cost of upgrading technologies, making it
less expensive to use recycled PET.
The PRP and The Coca-Cola Company also plan to work together to encourage
bottle designs that consider their impacts on recycling, in an effort to protect the
valuable new end markets for recycled PET that the company's commitment has
created.
Vitter’s explained that the Coca-Cola system has worked diligently over the past
decade to develop sustainable recycling technologies. "We appreciate the
recognition for these efforts and look forward to continuing to drive new
innovation. The company continues ahead of schedule to meeting its 2005 goal
