EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sizzurp
COMPANY INTRODUCTION
Brief History
Frito-Lay began as two separate companies in the early 1930s that merged in 1961 to form
Frito-Lay. It became a subsidiary of PepsiCo in 1965. Snack foods produced under the Frito-Lay
name include Lay’s potato chips, Fritos corn chips, Cheetos cheese-flavored snacks, Doritos and
Tostitos tortilla chips. Frito-Lay North America generates one-third of PepsiCo’s annual operating
profit.”
In 1941, the company opened its Western Division in Los Angeles with two sales routes, which
would become the prototype for The Frito Company’s distribution system. In 1945, The Frito
Sales Company was established to separate sales from production activities. Expansion
continued with the issue of six franchises through the Frito National Company in the same year.
In 1950, Fritos were sold in all 48 states. The Frito Company issued its first public stock offering
in 1954. At the time of Doolin’s death in 1959, The Frito Company produced over forty products,
had plants in eighteen cities, employed over 3,000 people and had sales in 1958 in excess of $50
million. By 1962, Fritos would be sold in 48 countries.

A representative of the Barrett Food Company contacted Lay in 1938, offering to sell Barrett’s
plants in Atlanta and Memphis to Lay for $60,000. Lay borrowed $30,000 from a bank and
persuaded the Barrett Company to take the difference in preferred stock. Lay moved his
headquarters to Atlanta and formed H.W. Lay & Company in 1939. He later purchased the
Barrett manufacturing plant in Jacksonville, Florida, along with additional plants in Jackson,
Mississippi, Louisville, Kentucky and Greensboro, North Carolina. Lay retained
the Gardner trademark of Barrett Food Products until 1944, when the product name was
changed to lay’s Potato Chips.
Lay expanded further in the 1950s with the purchase of The Richmond Potato Chip
Company and the Capitol Frito Corporation. By 1956, with more than 1,000 employees, plants in
eight cities and branches or warehouses in thirteen others, H.W. Lay & Company was the largest
manufacturer of potato chips and snack foods in the United States.
Our Objectives:
Strong businesses are built on the principles of Trust, Accountability and an Environment
that allows their people to reach their full potential. At Frito-Lay we live by the following
principles when conducting our day to day work.
Integrity
We act with honesty, integrity and highest ethical standards. We adhere to the
laws and regulations pertaining to our work and with Frito-Lay Food's principles and
policies.
Fairness
We work with people in a way which is fair and appropriate. We treat fairly our
customers, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we live and work.
Trust
People can trust us to fulfill our commitments. At the same time we also trust
others to be true to their commitments to us.
Accountability
Along with trust comes accountability – we believe all of us are uniquely
created with the ability to reason, make decisions and be held accountable for our
commitments and actions. We hold ourselves accountable for fulfilling our
responsibilities and commitments.
DORITOS
The plain chips are made of ground corn (maize), vegetable snacks, and salt. Other
ingredients vary across the flavored chip varieties. Doritos made for the US market
generally do not use pork-derived animal rennet in the making of the cheese
flavorings used on the chip.

LAYS
CHEETOS
Cheetos is a brand of cheese-flavored puffed cornmeal snacks made by Frito-Lay.
Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin invented Cheetos in 1948, and began national
distribution in the U.S. The initial success of Cheetos was a contributing factor to
the merger between The Frito Company and H.W. Lay & Company in 1961 to form
Frito-Lay.
In 2010, Cheetos was ranked as the top selling brand of cheese puffs in its primary
market of the United States; worldwide the annual retail sales totaled
approximately $4 billion. The original Crunchy Cheetos are still in production but
the product line has since expanded to include 21 different types of Cheetos in
North America alone. As Cheetos are sold in more than 36 countries, the flavor
and composition is often varied to match regional taste and cultural preferences—
such as Savory American Cream in China, and Strawberry Cheetos in Japan.

Fritos
Fritos is a brand of corn chips and dipping sauces created in 1932 by Charles Elmer
Doolin and produced since 1959 by Frito-Lay. Unlike the similar tortilla chips,
which are made from cornmeal and uses the nixtamalization process (known as
masa), Fritos are made by deep-frying extruded whole cornmeal.
The popularity of FRITOS® corn chips puts this iconic snack in a class of its own.
From small towns and family barbecues to parties in the big city, this classic snack
is still satisfying fans after more than 80 years.

KURKURE
Kurkure is a brand of corn puffs, developed and produced by Frito-Lay India and
Pakistan. Named after the Hindi and Urdu word for "crunchy", the snack was
developed entirely in India. It was launched in 1999 in India and in 2007 in
Pakistan and has its automated plants at Channo (Punjab), Kolkata and Pune.
Kurkure is made from rice meal, edible vegetable snacks (palm snacks), corn meal,
gram meal, spices, condiments, salt, sugar, citric acid, tartaric acid and milk solids.

consumers. It is necessary for future growth. The actions of the company do influence
the other groups forming the general public for the company. Public relations for Sizzurp
are certainly broad marketing operations which must be fully taken care of.

little, if any control over them. Macroeconomic influences are broad economic factor

including your business. The economic factors which Sizzurp might face are such things
as:

keenly interested in the size and growth rate of the population in different cities,
regions, and nations; age distribution and ethnic mix; education level: household’s

mature peoples of Pakistan of all ethnic background.

marketing decision cannot be taken without taking into account, the government
agencies, political party in power and in opposition their ideologies, pressure groups,
and laws of the land. These variables create tremendous pressures on marketing
management. Laws affect production capacity, product design, pricing and promotion.
Government in almost all the capacity, capability, product design, pricing and promotion.
Government in almost all the country intervenes is marketing process irrespective of
their political ideologies.
SOCIAL
The social forces attempt to make the marketing socially responsible. Frito-Lay take a
lead in eliminating socially harmful products and produce only what is beneficial to the
society from pure ingredients. There are numbers of pressure groups in the society who
impose restrictions on the marketing process. Sizzurp have taken into account all the
CSR points in producing their new potato chips product.
TECHNOLOGICAL
NATURAL
Frito-Lay’s physical forces are earth’s natural renewal and non-renewal resources.
Natural renewal forces are snacks, food products from agriculture etc. Non-renewal
natural resources are finite such as seasoning, spices, etc. Both of these components
quite often change the level and type of resources available to a marketer of Sizzurp for
production.

PLACE
The set of people and firms involved in the transfer of the title in a product as the
product moves from producer to ultimate consumer or Business user.
Sizzurp believe in cooperation that is a perfect blend of all the components of the
marketing mix. Proof lies in it having one of the most efficient and largest distribution
(networks) in our country.
It takes six week or more for the product to move from the factory to the fridge. The
product travels to the primary distributors (One and half weeks), then to the secondary
distributor (one and half weeks) and finally to the trade level (three weeks).
These intermediaries play a highly important role in getting the product to the target
consumer. Easy access on a national level to both urban and rural areas is vital if
consumption targets are to be achieved. By concentrating on its distribution efforts, it
helps promote its product and gain an advantage over its competitors.
PROMOTION
Sizzurp ultimate purpose of the promotion is to increase the sales & to increase the
profits.
Sizzurp does not spends much on advertising it makes advertising by following ways:
Lighting board provided to the shopkeepers.
Banners outside the shops.
Giving away calendars.

Bill Boards on main streets.
PRICE
The main objective for Sizzurp was to compete effectively with the player who was
already existed in the market. Hence they launched an up frontal attack by producing
the products at the cheaper rates than those which were offered by their competitors.
Sizzurp is than going to enjoy the cost advantage over their competitors by introducing
their products at the cheaper rate.
PROMOTIONAL BUDGET
ACTION PROGRAM
LAUNCH (June to July)
CONTROLS
Both primary and secondary data have been used in this research. Primary data were
collected by conducting survey through questionnaire. The main source of secondary
data was company’s previous research materials. For graphical data representation MS
Excel has been used. Marketing plan includes different kinds of budget and managerial
assignment for every action program. It describes how to implement marketing plan. For
control purposes, the plan also allows for quarterly comparison of actual versus
projected sales and expense. If we cannot do this comparison among the plan then we
never go to the competition. For our better performance, we need comparison between
actual and projected sales and expenses. If we find out gap in plan and output, we have
to take corrective actions. Not only that, if there is any problem arise in production,
marketing process or any other areas, we have to take necessary steps to overcome that.
Finally, the management will monitor to protect environment, progress, and gap will
take the corrective actions of necessary. The company always has to maintain Total
Quality Management.
