INTRODUCTION
Coca-Cola (also known as Coke) is a popular carbonated soft drink sold in stores,
restaurants and vending machines in over two hundred countries. It is produced by The Coca-
Cola Company, which is also occasionally referred to as Coca-Cola or Coke.
It is one of the world’s most recognizable and widely sold commercial brands. Coca-
Cola's major rival is Pepsi. Although Coca-Cola has been the target of urban legends decrying the
drink for its supposedly copious amounts of “acid”, or the "life-threatening" effects of its
carbonated water but still it is the most in-style soft.
About its safety and the ethics of the company that produces it, it is widely accepted as the
most dominant soft drink in the world today.
Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century,
Coca-Cola was bought out by shrewd businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose aggressive
marketing tactics led Coca-Cola to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the
20th century.
Although faced with accusations of perverse side-effects on the health of consumers and
monopolistic practices by its producing company, Coca-Cola has remained a popular soft drink
well into the first decade of the 21st century.
Now the company’s products are sold through 3500 fountain wholesalers and distributors.
Now the soft drink are asked for by name more than 524 million time a day, in more than 80
languages and in approximately 168 countries.

HISTORY
In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from
Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle
in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's book keeper Frank
Robinson.
It was a prohibition law, enacted in Atlanta in 1886, that persuaded physician and chemist
Dr. John Smith Pemberton to rename and rewrite the formula for his popular nerve tonic,
stimulant and headache remedy, "Pemberton's French Wine Coca," sold at that time by most, if
not all, of the city's druggists.
So when the new Coca-Cola debuted later that year - still possessing "the valuable tonic
and nerve stimulant properties of the coca plant and cola nuts," yet sweetened with sugar instead
of wine - Pemberton advertised it not only as a "delicious, exhilarating, refreshing and
invigorating" soda-fountain beverage but also as the ideal "temperance drink." It is said coke was
discovered when DeLuise, a 19th century American soda jerk accidentally hit the soda water
spigot, adding carbonated water to the syrup in the glass. The result was a "happy accident": the
invention of Coca-Cola.

Coca Cola's Management by Objectives
Management by objectives is a process of management that emphasizes the role of

leadership and communications in the organization and control of the business. It is a method of
managing managers rather than the workforce at large. The following shows how Coca Cola is
managed, by the three basic elements in management that Coca Cola uses by the objectives:
· The identification of agreed goals by a manager and a subordinate.

· The definition of the subordinate's responsibilities in terms of agreed results.
· The use of agreed goals and responsibilities to control the progress of the business.
Departments of Coca Cola
Every organization is made up of different departments, each of these departments help

Coca Cola achieve their objectives. As Coca Cola is a large multinational company, the amounts
of departments are huge. Each country has their own Head Office and departments. Coca Cola is
geographically split into five geographic operating segments, also known as strategic business
units (SBU's). The five SBU's are North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Eurasia and Middle East
and finally Latin America. If all these departments perform in the correct way then that will
continue the success of Coca Cola.
There are 6 functional departments within Coca Cola, these are:
· Marketing
· Finance
· Packaging
· Sales
· Research and development
· Administration

Multan
Marketing
The Coca Cola marketing department at the Atlanta Headquarters develops core
strategies for company brands to ensure that all communication is consistent in every market.
With this cohesive effort, the Coca-Cola system maximizes its resources for market leadership
and profitable growth. The marketing departments are responsible for marketing the products and
advertising the products and promoting the products. If all these departments perform their duty
firmly then the objectives of The Coca-Cola Company will meets.
Finance
The finance department of the Coca Cola Company is responsible for financial record
keeping. This involves keeping records of money received and paid out. The financial records
will be used to produce the annual reports for the shareholders so that they can see the company
performance. The Finance department is also responsible for the management accounts of the
business like marketing etc. The Coca-Cola Company finance department is also responsible for
making budget of the company and for each department like marketing department or research
and development department. They will also be involved in the planning process like taking over
or any major decision.
Packaging
The packaging department of The Coca-Cola Department is responsible for the packaging
of the products. They have to make the packaging attractive so that that product meets the eyes of
the consumers. Bringing new products package is their responsibility. It works with the
companies bottling partners to produce an attractive combination.
Sales
The sales department of the Coca Cola Company is to coordinate the selling program.
They also have to make the distribution methods, etc. Also, decide how much to sell and how

Multan
much to store in the warehouse and to choose the transporting method which is the most cost
efficient and the quickest way.
Research and development
This department has their budget given by the finance department and their responsibility
is to investigate new products. They work closely with marketing by looking at marketing
research findings. They have to bring new products in the market for the change because the
consumer cannot stick with the same old products. If necessary then they also have to improve the
quality of the products. The Coca-Cola Company research department has done a lot of research
and recently they have launched many new products like Diet coke with lemon, Fanta Tropical,
Minute maids, Fanta raspberry, Fanta blue berry etc.
Administration
This department is essential for keeping the business going. They act as a help support of
the company, it is not the central purpose the business but every business organization would
need this department. Most businesses rely on administration to be organized. They deal with
enquiries, give messages produce documents and give information to any customer. The
complaints that this department will get would be transferred to the research and development
department to make the product better or fix the problem that the consumer is having. These
departments are the most important department of The Coca-Cola Company because they helps
the company to meets the objectives of The Coca-Cola Company i.e. surviving, customer
satisfaction and make more profits. As I said that the help desk department satisfies the customer
by providing the information they needs and taking the complaints and passing to the research
and development departments who improves the products.

COCA COLA BAVERAGES LAHORE
Lahore Beverages was established in 1959 on Rivand road Lahore which was it’s combined
Plant. Later on it’s Head office was shifted to the liberty chowk, and it’s one interrelated group of
departments was shifted to Industrial Area Kot Lakhpat. This combined group include the CIT
Department, Trade Marketing, Key Accounts Department, Coordination Department. These all
departments basically perform the sales related activities. There thy uses two types of distribution
system.
• Direct Distribution
• Indirect Distribution
Direct Distribution
In direct distribution the Sales and Merchandising Officer take care of sales and
merchandising of product on their routes. The Market Development Officer coordinate and
manage the sales manager of their area, and also constantly look to attract more customers and
retain the current ones by ensuring their satisfaction.
The daily route settlement that is the supply that the delivery vehicles take to the market is
authorized and checked by Market Development Officer (MDO) and regional sales manager, to
ensure that a balance mix of product range is made available to the customers. The cash and
invoice of daily sales are submitted inside the distribution center at the end of the day. To ensure
that the monthly sales target is met, daily sales are examined and it is made sure that the daily
target is met.
Indirect Distribution
This is easier to give the distribution to local agencies and also decreases the burden on
SMO. But it is used in less commercialized areas. The agency in return gets a commission on
their sales because the system is not directly influenced by the company, the approach is not as
professional as the direst distribution system.

Multan
But it is more cost effective for the company, since agency uses its own resources to carry
out the sales. As company’s own vehicles are not capable of working is these congested areas and
crowded areas, the agency makes it easy for the company to make sales in those areas.
Major Difference between direct and indirect distribution
Market:
The target market that comes under direct distribution is more commercialized as compare
to the market under indirect distribution. Indirect distribution deals with areas that are less
developed and while direct distribution deals with more developed areas and outlets.
Time and cost factor:
As indirect distribution employs its own resources for sales, it is more cost efficient for
the company. On the other hand, in direct distribution, company has to use its own resources such
as delivery trucks, sales managers, drivers, loaders and effort. And also the indirect area is less
accessible by the company vehicles and the services of the agency makes delivery more efficient
in those areas.
System:
Direct distribution uses a proper system that is ran by well qualified and trained managers,
this ensures an efficient system in direct sales. On the other hand indirect distribution does not
have properly trained managers for running the system. This decreases the efficiency of the
system and as a result, the sales become less effective.
Route settlement:
In direct distribution, daily route settlement, that is supply that the supply that delivery
vehicles take to the market, is authorized and checked by MDO and Regional Sales Manager, to
ensure that a balance mix of product range is made available to the customers. In indirect
distribution this procedure is not followed regularly.
Area coverage:
Multan
As the outlets under direct distribution are in more commercialized area, their coverage is
more as compared to indirect outlets. Outlets that come under direct distribution cover more area
and more customers, on the other hand indirect outlets have comparatively less coverage and
customers because of the locality and competition among outlets among a small area..
Sales potential:
Sales and demand in a single outlet is more in direct distribution as compared to indirect
distribution. This is because of the density of outlet in indirect distribution areas.
Incentives:
Outlets under direct distribution receive more discounts than outlet under indirect
distribution. The cause is the commission for that the agency receive for their services. While
direct distribution gives more discount to outlet which gives more profit to outlet.
Commitment:
The management in direct distribution is much more committed to their duties as

compared to the management of indirect distribution. Management in direct distribution put in an
extra effort to ensure increase in sales, while management at indirect distribution does not put in
that much effort.
Product range:
The product range that is distributed by indirect distribution is small as compare to the
direct distributors. Direct distributors put more effort to increase the popularity of different brand
to increase sales, while management in indirect distribution concentrate only on fast moving
brand such Coke and Sprite and try to avoid other brands.
Accountability:
As a proper structure exists in direct distribution, there is a hierarchy of managers who

report to their upper management. This makes sure that everything is done properly. While in
direct distribution there is limited accountability in decision making.

PEST ANALYSIS
Political Factors
Multan
The political environment of Pakistan affects the coca-cola beverages and Coca-Cola
Export Corporation, to some extent. For instance, the political instability in Pakistan causes trade
and import policies to change rapidly as the government changes which causes many problems in
the import of raw materials. Trade barriers such as tariffs and duties on the import of syrup
(concentrate) from USA increases the operational cost. A relaxation has been given by the current
government. So the situation for the beverage industry is getting better day by day for the last
couple of years. Also the policies have been more or less constant and also the emaciation of free
trade zones by the government will help the Coca-cola to flourish more effectively in Pakistan.
Economic Factors
The economic condition of Pakistan has not been stable for a long time but The recent
economic indicators suggest that the economy is growing and macroeconomic issues are getting
sold but at the same time there has not any marked increase in the consumer buying power
(inflation). When the recession occurs the price of bottles are dropped down to increase the sales
and to achieve the targets of the company. So overall economy of Pakistan directly affects the
cost and price of the Coca-Cola Company.
Social Factors
Being a foreign based company Coca-cola faces opposition by Muslim activists. The main
social issues are:
It faced scandal of humiliating Muslim’s religion that when the inverted image of Coca-
Cola brand name is being viewed on the mirror it disgraces the name of Holy city Makkah and
Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H). This was a wrong conception as there was no reality in it and this
scandal was flopped after a short span.
One of the greatest social barriers to coca-cola Lahore is the restriction of coke in the campus
premises. Jamiat’s strike to coke affects the sales and overall image of coke as a larger number of
students from all over the Pakistan are studying in the University of The Punjab. But on the
contrary in the all parts of the country coke is viewed as the partner in the major events like

Multan
Basant and promoter of music thereby making a place in the hearts of young generation of the
society.
Technological Factors
The making of Coke, Fanta, Diet coke and sprite involves "mixing and blending, filling
and capping ". For this process, concentrate or syrup is imported from USA and is then mixed in
the local plants .Machinery for the local plants was also imported but now the coca-cola company
follows Local content law as most of the spare parts are locally made. The system is automated
and equipment is fully operational and up-to-dated. In technology Coca-cola company is far
ahead than the several other local beverage brands of Pakistan. It is a Highly Technical 10 Steps
Process. Which are all done in the local plants using local content law.
Uncontrollable Elements
Whenever any business start operating in two or more than two countries, it come across
some of the problems which are beyond the control of business , like legal restraints, government
controls, weather, consumer behavior, economic conditions of the host country, social and
cultural factors, geography & infrastructure, channel of distribution available, level of technology
and competitive forces. These problems are different in all the countries in which business starts
its operations. So business has to design a separate framework for each country to overcome these
problems.
SWOT ANALYSIS

Multan
Strengths
Coca-Cola has been a complex part of Pakistani culture for over a half century. Being a
strongly recognized brand the product's image is loaded with coolness and refreshment, and this
is an image many people have taken deeply to heart. The Coca-Cola image is displayed on T-
shirts, hats, and collectible memorabilia. This extremely recognizable branding is one of Coca-
Cola's greatest strengths. "Enjoyed more than 685 million times a day around the world Coca-
Cola stands as a simple, yet powerful symbol of quality and enjoyment".
Additionally, Coca-Cola's bottling system is one of their greatest strengths. It allows them
to conduct business on a global scale while at the same time maintain a local approach. The
bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent business people who are
authorized to sell products of the Coca-Cola Company. Because Coke does not have outright
ownership of its bottling network, its main source of revenue is the sale of concentrate to its
bottlers.
The Coca-Cola Company in Pakistan has the mover advantage, as it was the first to
introduced soft drink. There are 8 plants working in Peshawar, Karachi, Lahore, Gujrawala,
Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Raheem Yar khan, and Multan. These big plants have employed more
than 1800 employees. Duopoly of two main beverage companies in Pakistan including Coca-Cola
has been diffused into the local markets.
Weaknesses
Although domestic businesses as well as many international markets are thriving, Coca-
Cola has recently reported some "declines in unit case volumes due to reduced consumer
purchasing power”
Coca-Cola on the other side has effects on the teeth's which is an issue for health care. It
also has got sugar by which continuous drinking of Coca-Cola may cause health problems. Being
addicted to Coca-Cola also is a health problem, because drinking of Coca-Cola daily has an effect
on your body after few years (International report of Coca-cola).
Out of twelve plants, eight are the operational plants while two are franchised with other
group of companies, which is a drawback for coca-cola in Pakistan as in these two plants the
Multan
involvement of Coca-Cola International is not present which effects the overall image of these
plants in the local market about the quality and international standards.
Opportunities
Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Coke's competitive position. Coca-
Cola's brand name is known well throughout 94% of the world today. In Pakistan it is the well-
known brand among the people of all ages specially the children are more attracted towards the
coke.
As Coca-Cola is in business of soft drinks and has more than 450 brands allover the
world, but in Pakistan they have only five brands, so there is a potential in Pakistani market for
other brands too. Pakistani weather is hot and humid. This causes a tremendous growth in the
sales during the summer season. There are few areas where coke is yet not available so there is
opportunity for coke to get there and increase its market share.
Packaging changes have also affected sales and industry positioning, but in general, the
public has tended not to be affected by new products. Coca-Cola's bottling system also allows the
company to take advantage of infinite growth opportunities around the world. This strategy gives
Coke the opportunity to service a large geographic, diverse, area.
The unique formula (concentrate) is being imported from U.S.A and it is then processed in
the local plants, this resists the copying of formula and formation of fake formula thus keeping
the taste of pure and real Coca-Cola revitalizing and tempting.
Threats
Currently, the threat of new viable competitors in the carbonated soft drink industry is not
very substantial. The threat of substitutes, however, is a very real threat. The soft drink industry is
very strong, but consumers are not necessarily married to it. Possible substitutes that continuously
put pressure on both Pepsi and Coke include tea, coffee, juices, milk, and hot chocolate ("Cola
Wars", 1991).
Even though Coca-Cola and Pepsi control nearly 5% of the entire beverage market, the
changing health-consciousness of the market could have a serious affect. Of course, both Coke

Multan
and Pepsi have already diversified into these markets, allowing them to have further significant
market shares and offset any losses incurred due to fluctuations in the market ("Cola Wars",
1991). In Pakistan the consumption of cold beverages is 5% which have to be stabilized.
Consumer buying power also represents a key threat in the industry. The rivalry between
Pepsi and Coke has produce a very slow moving industry in which management must
continuously respond to the changing attitudes and demands of their consumers or face losing
market share to the competition. Furthermore, consumers can easily switch to other beverages
with little cost or consequence.
COCA COLA SALE DEPOT

Multan
All the work related to the Sale and marketing is happening in the sale depot. There are
four major department which are basically performing all the activities which are for making the
Coke available in the Lahore and growing the sales and make effective and proper distribution in

effects the other departments . Coordination department Coordinates with all department and CIT
works under Trade Marketing.
CHILLER INJECTION TEAM
CIT Department plays a very important role in Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan limited. CIT
department means cooler injection team or chiller injection team. Basically without this department Coca
Cola Beverages Pakistan limited can not work in effective ways. You can also say, without this
department you can not perform your function in effective way.
This is the department for receiving and sending the equipment like Refrigrators, coolers etc. They
received these coolers from Verio Line. Verio Line is manufacturing company who made these types of
coolers
This company sends different types of coolers to Coca Cola beverages Pakistan limited. You can
say that according to the requirement of the company. This is warehouse of coolers where stock is always
ready to go in to the market

Multan
Here, this department distributes itself in some different parts.
 Stock- New coolers for injection

 Complaints units ready for Re-injection
 Retrieved units ready for Re-injection
 Retrieved units ready for quality assurance
 Washing Area
 Repairing Line No 1
 Repairing Line No 2
 Meeting spot field staff
Stock New coolers for injection
Here is very important part of CIT Department where all new coolers are for injection at
any time according to the customers demand. If nay customers demanded for new coolers then,
new cooler is given to him from new stock of cit department.
Complaints units ready for Re-injection
Here are some units or some coolers who have some complaints, then for this here is part
of CIT Department that first of all it removes the fault and solves the complaints. Then after this
those are ready for injection. And these coolers send to the shops and any outlet.
Retrieved units ready for Re-injection
CIT Department gives coolers to shopkeeper to use it and give maximum profit to the

department retrieved the cooler from that shop and put into this part of the CIT Department.
These coolers always ready for Re-injection and send it to other shops departmental stores

Retrieved units for quality assurance

Multan
Some units are retrieved for quality assurance. For fulfilling the purpose, they retrieved
the units or coolers from the shops and stores and fulfill the requirement. They put these coolers

Washing Area
Here is washing area in the CIT Department .where coolers are washing but those coolers
who have need for wash. Mostly this department washes those cooler who have repairing problem
or any part of the cooler that repaired is washing there.
Repairing Line NO 1
Here is repairing line 1 that performs repairing system for CIT Department. This is
workshop in which all the workshop cases are handled. Mobile workshop lifts the coolers from
outlet and come in CIT department. And after this it repairs in this line. Here all the equipments
still worked on the conveyers and try to remove the fault
Repairing line No 2
Here is repairing line 2 that performs repairing system for CIT Department. This is
workshop in which all the workshop cases are handled. Mobile workshop lifts the coolers from
outlet and come in CIT department. And after this it repairs in this line.
Mobile Workshop Base
Mobile workshop base is very important method to solve the complaints because without
this CIT department is not able to solve the big problems. It means if there is any big problem
then this complaints transfer to mobile workshop base.
If the problem is big like compressor problem and gas charging then there are two options that
are handled by me.
1. One person goes to the market with mobile workshop vane and solves the problem
2. Lifting the equipment from the shop and after repairing it will again sent it to shop
One person is there in CIT department who handled all these types of problems.
Mobile workshop outstation

Multan
Basically it is also very important because if this is not exist in the CIT department then
CIT department can not solve the complaints those are related with outstation or it means related
to another city.
Time limit to solve the complaints
Complaint is not a good thing. Company wants to solve this compliant as soon as possible
because, company wants to create good image in public mind. So, normal time limit is 24 hours.
Within this time complaints should be handled when it is registered. If there is a big problem then
48 hours are maximum time limit to solve the complaints without any excuses.
Gate pass system
Each cooler that is sent by the company with the help of CIT department has a get pass.
This document that is an approval, hat this equipment passed from the gate.
With the help of this document equipments are easily passed away from the gate. If this gate pass
document is not ready then no one equipment passed from the gate.
TRADEMARKETING DEPARTMENT
Trade marketing is very important department in CCBPL. Trade marketing department plays a
vital role in the progress of CCBPL. With the help of this department this company easily moves to the
market and create awareness in the market.
Some company uses different techniques for advertising. But Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan
Limited have proper department for this that is Trade Marketing department.
This department plays a great role in advertising and with the help of this department CCBPL is in
a position to promote their product in the market in very effective.
Advertising of CCBPL in any outlet either it is small or big one this is the responsibility of this
department. It dose not concern with low and high worth of the shop or outlet. Its aim is to increase the
publicity in the market..

Multan
First of all they visit the market and they evaluate the market where are those types of outlet or
areas where we can advertise our product Then they demand for promotional material from the Head
Office and Plant that we need the promotional material for promotion purpose.
They also told them about those types of material what they want to display in the market. Then
we need this type of promotional material that we want to display in the market. They also told to
management about that how much quantity we need and also told about that we want to cover this area for
promotion purposes.
Promotional material
All the promotional material of the Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited is received in CIT
department then again they use gate pass system and authority approval for sending any promotional
material to any outlet or any other places. All the promotional material is handled by CIT department like
receiving and sending.
Bases of promotional material
There are two major bases on which trade marketing department easily promote their product and give
promotional material in the market. These are as follows;
 Shopkeeper's demand
 MDO's request
Shopkeeper's demand
Shops and outlets are very important places where this department can play vital role easily. And
also this department can advertised their material on this outlet or shop. But if shopkeeper agrees
to advertise the Coca Cola products then they told to management that we want this type of
promotional material.
If shopkeeper wants to display sign board then they told to the company workers. After
this company told to ad sell agency to make a sample for that.
First they make sample and sent it to company and company sent it to shopkeeper for
deciding that either it is right or not. If shopkeeper approver it and signed then it gives it to Ad
sell agency and then finally it made. All the expenses of this advertising are paid by the company.
Multan
MDO's Request
MDO's are basically marketing development officers who visit the market and check that where
we should promote our product. And also check that either this place is good for the company and
promotional material as well. MDO's told to this department about the promotions and then they decide
what to do? How to do?
On the basis of MDO' Request company provide promotional material according to the requirement.
MAJOR MARKETING TECHNIQUES
Direct marketing
This is very important for each company that is, it deals with its customers directly. When you
move directly to customers then you can say that you are using direct marketing you go the market without
distributors to shops, outlets and customers and fulfill the customer's need.
Trade marketing department basically works on BTL. BTL means that Below the Line, that’s
means direct marketing through signage. For this, CCBPL uses three vendors like, Ad sell (Retail
Solution), Ramzan & Rizwan and finally master publicity.
Advertising Agencies
Advertising agencies are very important for each company because it plays a vital role in
the promotion of the company. Advertising agency offers its services to different companies who
wants to promote it self.
With the help of advertising agency you can easily promote your product in the market
and create great awareness in the market. This is not only important for product but also
ultimately company benefits. With the help of this you can easily create competitive edge in the
market. Due to this you can beat your competitor in the market. Just like that Coca-Cola company
beliefs on advertising.

Multan
They have advertising agencies they are not using only one but also looking for any other
advertising agency. They evaluate their work and then offer them to perform some function for
Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited.
There are three vendors of Coca-Cola. Those three are as follows;
 Ad sells (Retail solution)

 Ramzan Rizwan & Brothers
 Master Publicity
All three advertising agencies play a great role in the promotion of the company. These
three advertising agencies plays its own role for the Coca-Cola and offers then different services
for Coca-Cola. They charge prices against them. They take decision against its on work. Each
company decides on the behalf of itself that what they want to do for Coca Cola and how they
perform its own target that given by Coca Cola.
They all have its on target and also they have its own strategies for achieving these types
of target but mostly Ad sell mostly contributes its part for Coca-Cola.
Add sell
Ad sell basically plays its own role on the promotional activities for Coca-Cola. Mostly
cases related to promotion and advertising handled by this company in Lahore.
Trade marketing department gives some work Ad sell agency then they perform this
function. 75% of adverting of Coca-Cola handled by Ad sell agency. This is well established in
Lahore.
This advertising agency charge fixed prices from Coca-Cola beverages Pakistan Limited.
They already fixed their prices with Coca-Cola. They perform their on fixed rates. The brand
name that this company uses itself is (Retail Solution).
They also offer some services to Coca-Cola like repairing of advertising material like
signage problem.

Multan
The question arises How can they perform their function to the Coca-Cola
So, when MDO's conduct survey in market and they find out new places for advertising
then they told to trade marketing department. Trade marketing department told to Ad sell or
Retail solution that you should try to solve it.
Then they make a sample of advertising and promotion material that MDO'S and trade
marketing department required. If this tender passed then trade marketing department allows to
retail solution that they made this type of signage. If shopkeeper wants to display sign board then
they told to the company workers. After this company told to ad sell agency to make a sample for
that. First they make sample and sent it to company and company sent it to shopkeeper for
deciding that either it is right or not. If shopkeeper approver it and signed then it gives it to Add
sell agency and then finally it made. All the expenses of this advertising are paid by the company.
This is another option that if sale person go to the market for sale and shopkeeper wants to
signage of it own shop then they demand for it. Again this demand told to trade marketing
department that this shop required signage and they want to increase the promotion of Coca-Cola.
Then trade marketing department told this to Ad sell or retail solution that make a sample for this
shop or outlet. Retail solution makes a sample for this. Ad sell agency sends this sample to trade
marketing department. Trade marketing department send this sample to shops or outlets to
confirm that it is correct or not because they check that with Coca-Cola, our restaurant product is
prominent or not. If they decide then they signed and final it. After some days this signage display
at this shop or outlet. Add sell is basically is established company. They don't want to damage
their goodwill, for this they provide quality services to Coca-Cola because they offer print media
services means signage etc.
For print media, they use very good quality paper for printing. They called it Media. This
is the paper on which they print the promotion activity.
They are also using very beautiful and attractive colors for printing. They don't want any
claim for anything that they print on the paper for advertising.
Indirect marketing

Multan
This is also very important for the company because those areas, those are not covered by the
department and also very far away from the department then you are using indirect marketing.
And reach at that point through indirect way. Like you used agencies and go to the market through
this. You can also reach the market through distributors, wholesalers, etc when you are not in a position to
reach the market directly to customers or nay other place.
Trade marketing department uses ATL. It means Above the Line. This means can producing T.V
ads, roads signage etc. for this CCBPL has a company that name is Pronto promotion.
Pre-selling
Pre selling is very important for the CCBPL. It plays a vital role in increasing the sales. With the
help of this you can easily increase the strength of the company means (Coca-Cola Beverages of Pakistan
Limited).
In this technique you can increase your sale because you take order of product at one day and very
next day you give this order to the same shop or outlet. Form where you get the order.
Employees go to the market and booking the order from outlet and shops. Then this order told to
management, MDO cover this order according to the relevant areas. MDO told to sales man about this
order and give them some instruction about the sales.
Then sales man goes to the market and covers his order according to given instruction and give
stock to particular shops or outlets.
DIRECT MARKETING EXPENCE DEPARTMENT
DME department is very important for each company because it handles all the expenses of the
trade marketing department. It means Direct Marketing Expenses Department. All the expenses are
handled by this department.
All the budget or expenses of trade marketing department are handled by direct marketing
expenses department. It allocates the budget for trade marketing department.
Tax evaluation
This is the department responsibility to evaluate the market and told to management about the
market. Tax is paying at each and every thing. They have to pay tax on advertising material. First they

Multan
evaluate the market through MDO's and judge that about promotional conditions on the market.
Employees survey the market to notice that how much paints of Coca-Cola company on shops and walls.
Because according to shops paints they have to pay tax. There are no fixed prices for every
promotional material in the market. They pay tax according to the size and location of the paints.
This is the responsibility of the trade marketing department that they evaluate the market and told
to top management. Then they are in a position to pay the tax in very effective way. Trade marketing
department has to pay tax. But tax depends on two things.
 Size of the paint

 Area or location
Size of the paint
If size of the paint is large and looking good and also it provides a competitive edge in the
market then they have to pay tax in heavy amount. Otherwise if there is no big one size then they
has to pay normal tax.
The tax is paying according to different percentages. There is no fixed percentage. This is
the responsibility of trade marketing department to check that how much paints are in the market
and what size of it.
Then this information is given to Direct marketing expenses department because this
department pay the tax according to particular percentage.
Area or Location
If area or location of the paint has a strong worth and looking good and also it provides a
competitive edge in the market then they have to pay tax in heavy amount. Otherwise if there is
no worth of this area and location then they has to pay normal tax.
The tax is paying according to different percentages. There is no fixed percentage. This is
the responsibility of trade marketing department to check that how much paints are in the market
and in which areas or locations.
BENCHMARKING

Multan
Market Analysis
Currently Coca-Cola’s position is much better and even getting more better and has started
gaining market share in last five years after the bad batch of 1980’s and early 1990’s. Changes have been
made in way of doing business and management personnel to achieve newly set objectives and goals
Competitors Situation
Competition is exist every where in the world. So Coca- Cola has also a great competitor like
Pepsi. Coca-Cola beat its competitors in very effective way. Coca-Cola focus on its competitors that what
they want to do in next?
Coca-Cola products are more delicious than their competitors. Coca-Cola Company produces its
product in totally different styles & taste like Coca-Cola, Pulpy, Splash, sprite, Miranda and its juices as
well.
Coca-Cola creates a competitive edge in the market. It is strength of the Coca-Cola Company that
it always tries to seek out new opportunities in the market and avail before its competitors. Coca-Cola is
facing intense competition with market leader Pepsi in Pakistan. In last few years Coca-Cola has made a
remarkable progress and snatched a big market share from Pepsi. This has caused Pepsi to become more
aggressive in many aspects like marketing and distribution. Areas in which Coca-Cola is lagging behind
Pepsi are mainly distribution network and only one platform for promotion. Pepsi has a competitive
advantage of its effective distribution network which has provided it with market penetration on the other
hand Coca-Cola is not as widely available.
Pepsi is using two major promotional platforms cricket and showbiz celebrities very
effectively which has a vital impact on the target market. In last 5 years there is increase in new
entrants in a cola industry like Shandy, Amrat cola, Nova and Mecca cola which are sharing a
minor share of big players in the market. Only Mecca Cola is one of the competitors which have
got international exposure and good financial base but yet even Mecca cola hasn’t shown any
good threat.
These new entrants are trying to capture market on low price factor, yet not able to capture
big proportion of market because of taste and low quality assumption. But it can be a threat
because they can be attractive for a low income segment which is annoyed due to increasing
prices due to economic factors.
Multan
Environment Situation
The environment is turbulent as the threat of new viable competitors in the carbonated soft
drink industry is present. In addition, the presence of substitutes available causes decline in the
market share. The soft drink industry is very strong, but consumers are not necessarily married to
it. Possible substitutes that continuously put pressure on both Pepsi and Coca-Cola include tea,
coffee, juices, milk, and hot chocolate ("Cola Wars", 1991).
The main competitor of Coke is Pepsi with having shares in his local market and the other
not so competitive companies are Mecca cola, Shandy and Amrat cola.
Potential customers of Coca-Cola are increasing day by day and company has its own list
of clients as McDonalds, Zee Grill, Coke & Bull and pizza Inn etc.
Forecasting
In this regard company do not have any formalized procedure, company uses a very
simple procedure for forecasting. They look on the previous years sales for a certain period
(usually for a month) and add or subtract any future projection made up by the judgment of
executives. These executives made forecast which is then used as target for the managers. These
managers have to fulfill the target with in the given date. Manager divide these target into parts
and then supervisors who are working under managers has a target of one part.
Production planning
On the basis of forecast of sales, the production department of the company makes
production plan. Usually the difference between two is of the dates. As the production has to start
before sales requirement. These plans may be daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. For the season
of summer company some times stores the bottles in advance to meet the high demand. This
anticipating inventory is kept for few days. Production plan bridges the gap between high demand

Multan
and low demand time period. In the Coca-Cola company production planning, although is
informal but it very much effective as it is based on the experience of the executives.

MARKETING STRATAGIES OF COCA COLA
Target Market
They mainly emphasize on teenagers and students who are mostly living in urban areas
with extreme climate conditions such as long and blazing summers. The target market selects it
for drinking because it satisfies three levels of needs in Maslow’s Need hierarchy.
• First it claims to satisfy the physiological need of thirst.
• Secondly it claims to satisfy social needs e.g. it helps in identifying with peer group image
and values.
• Thirdly it satisfies esteem needs. It helps in self expression of individuals as being active,
modern and adventurous.
The target market also looks for some specific benefits which include strong caramel
Taste, its reddish brown color, its bubbling aroma, its chilled temperature, its attractive easy to
handle packaging, its relatively stable and affordable price, and its ability in helping fast food to
digest easily. The target market uses it with and without food. It is mostly consumed at
restaurants, at special party occasions such as picnics, at tourist resorts during outings etc. Its
consumption hikes in hot summers and declines in winters. The consumers like it as a cold drink.
The loyalty towards brand is low because the perceived risk and perceived involvement in
purchase and consumption of this brand is low.
Community Involvement
In 2000, when Eastern Pakistan suffered its worst droughts, The Coca-Cola System
initiated a famine-relief program to help victims and was the first private-sector company to

Multan
assist. It initiated a voluntary Hajj program that allows one employee from each plant, selected
through a draw, to be sent on the Holy Pilgrimage to Mecca at the Company's expense.

The Coca-Cola Company sponsors the Basant Festival in Lahore, a festival that marks the
beginning of spring and attracts visitors from all over the world. Part of the festival is the Coca-
Cola Kite Flying Championship. The Company sponsors Pakistan's leading pop group and

Pakistan's No. 1 solo artist, who will participate in concerts and charity events organized by The

Pakistan's national cricket players for promotional and advertising use.

VPO activity is the key function of the Marketing and Services Department. It refers to
volume per outlet. These activities are not only to increase the sale, but the actual purpose behind
these activities is to make a long term strong and good Image in mind of customers. Some times
the company do not earns from the sales of items included in VPO activity.
The duration of activity can be differ with the;
• Type of offering

Multan

The minimum duration of an activity is 15 days, but if the stock is enough then it could be
expand.
The company selects the major retail stores of city for these activities, at the same time
there could be more then one activity in the city in different retail stores. The company hired two
Marketing Supervisors who works under the order of Trade Marketing Officer.
The Hierarchy of VPO supervision is shown

These activities are directed by Karachi Marketing Department. And all Activation
material is provided by them. I was also part of these activities, some of these in which I have
participated are
• Kinley VPO Activity
• Knnor VPO Activity
• 500ml VPO Activity
• Sprite Cricket Next VPO Activity
• Coke Studio VPO Activity
My Services in VPO activities

Multan
In my six weak I have participated in all these activities. My work regarding Kinley,
Knnor and 500ml disposable bottle, activity was to check out the availability of stock and warm
display to attract the customers. And later on in the Sprite Cricket Next and Coke Studio activity I
was fully part of these activities and work with marketing supervisors for the effectiveness of
these activities.
Firstly there was knnor Activity in which there was offer of free knnor (Bryani Masala/
Qorma Masala) with two 1.5ltr bottles of Coke.
One Activity was One Kinley free with any two same 1.5ltr bottles.
Then One Activity was free any 500ml bottle with any bundle of two same 1.5ltr bottles.
Then the Activity of Sprite Cricket Next was started. It was scratch and win scheme, in
which there was an offering of a scratch card with one 1.5ltr bottle of Sprite. There were some
prizes included in these scratch cards. It was a great effort to increase the popularity and as well
as sales of Sprite in Lahore. Many of the scratch cards were empty having written “Try Again” on
it, but there was also some prizes in others. The prize scratch cards included Cricket Bat, T-Shirt
and 240ml non returnable bottle. In this Activity the availability of stock was responsibility of
MDO of the area, we had to estimate the stock needed in next days and allowing the
merchandisers to give the one or two major prizes to common customers. Because scratch and
win policy was totally in our hand. We had to decide that how many Cricket Bat, T-Shirts and
Non returnable bottle should win by scratching in different outlets. Then according to that
estimate we send the scratch cards of Cricket Bat, T-Shirt and Non Returnable Bottle. In daily
routine we used to send 4 cards of Cricket Bat, 12 cards of T-Shirts and 24 of Non Returnable
bottles and 90 to 100 Try Again per outlet. The merchandiser kept the card of Cricket Bat, and T-
Shirt in his pocket, and put the Non Returnable bottle and Try Again in the display.
Approximately all the Cricket Bats and T-Shirts were won by the Coke employees. And the
remaining Non returnable bottles Scratch cards were given by the consent of the merchandiser if
he or she like any customer they give them bottle having scratch card of Non Returnable bottle.
And there was also an Activity for promotion of Coke Studio. It was offering of one latest
session CD of Coke Studio with two 1.5ltr bottle of Coca Cola. In this activity we have to provide

Multan
the CD’s stock according to the daily sales of whole bundle. The daily sale of the bundle in
Lahore was more than one thousand.
Rout Riding
Route riding is very important thing that related to sales. I have personal experience about
this. Rout riding is a visit of the market in which you can see that how sales man sells their
product in the market.
In this experience you can judge the attitude of the customers and also you can check that
what present conditions of the market are. What happened with dealer in the market? But
Question arises how can you deal with the customers?
First of all they load the required material in their trucks that is very important because
this is the responsibility of sales man to fulfill customers’ need. for this they have to prepare a
document for loading the material and pass through the gate. This receipt is called Out load
Sheet.
This sheet is about that material or stock that is ready to go market and this loading
material is ready to go out from the company or warehouse of the CCBPL.
Here is person who is responsible for checking of the material either the material is
according to the invoices or Out load sheet.
If there is any error between loading material and invoices then they check and remove
this error. It means if load is more than the material that is written on the paper or Out load sheet
then the checker unloads that unnecessary material from the truck.
Out load sheet has three documents in which two are given at gate for passing from the
company gate. And one paper is still keeping by sales person as a record. Here are some
important requirements that must be fulfilled by the sales man those are as follows
 Route Number
 Personal Number
 Truck Number
Multan
 Settlement Name
 Products
 Art #
 Actual Load
After the fulfillment of this sheet they go to the market for sales, when they go to the
market first of all MDO’s and sales persons deal with shopkeepers they asking from them some
different types of questions;
 How much you need of the product?

 How Much Quantity you have?
 How much you demand for new stock?
After this they asking them about the worth of their product and asking some questions;
 What is flavor you demanded?

 What is most demanded product of Coco-Cola?
If there is any product that is not working well and the sales of this product is not good
then they ask to shopkeepers why this product is not working well? Then shopkeepers give
answers to them and told the reasons to them.
Then shopkeeper asking that if there is any scheme then inform me because if there is any
scheme then shopkeeper buys more quantity of that product. Due to this their savings are
increased.
After this sales force told to customer about flavors, what is flavor you demanded?
According to the demand they give stock to them.
They also merchandise their products in the shops or outlets. This is responsibility of
MDO’s or sales’ persons to check that merchandising is appropriate or not. Then they sell the
products and go to the next shop or outlet.

Multan

Following conclusion is based on my learning during the stay period in Coca Cola.
