Distribution Channel and strategies

“Marketing channels are sets of interdependent organizations involved in theprocess of making a product or service available for use or consumption”

- Philips Kotler

Distribution (Place) Strategies

Page 17: Final Project

● Product availability where and when customers want them.● Involves all activities from raw materials to finished productsBasic Channels of Distribution

Distribution Objective

Minimize total distribution costs for a given service output Determine the target segments and the best channels for each segment Objectives may vary with product characteristics e.g. perishables, bulky products, non-standard items, products requiringinstallation & maintenance

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS (Pepsi)

There are two marketing channels that involve in the transfer ofproduct from the producer to the consumer. The intermediaries involved in the transfer are distributors and retailers.

DISTRIBUTORS

Distributors are appointed agents of the company who make orders to the company by paying in advance through drafts, stock the products in their godowns and supply them to outlets through their fleet of delivery was and a team of salesmen and drivers. They are allowed to sell to company's product to the retailers in a specified area. The company divides this area into routes. Each route is covered by one unit i.e. one delivery van, one salesman one driver, one helper etc. These units and godown are their main investment. Distributors have to invest in cases, so that they can maintain a specified quantity of reserve stock and facilitate the quick rotation of cases. The company evaluates its distributors at the end of the year and makes plans for the next year. Company fixes the targets for each distributor according to market size, last year’s sales, potential growth assumption based on deposit of empties and installation of coolers at outlets. Distributors are awarded with a fair margin of RS. 10 per crate for their service. This margin could be increased for the sale above

Page 18: Final Project

the targets, company offers are met with distributors before appointing them. Distributor complying with many schemes and contests for its customers for pushing different brands and giving various services. Company also offers many gifts like, briefcase, and handbags. T-shirts, caps etc.to encourage the distributors. If distributor does not agree with the conditions of these agreement company may reduce the area of distributor or may even terminate the relationship.

RETAILERS

The sale of particular snacks product depends a lot entirely on retailer’s wish. This all goes to prove that retailer is king. So retailers require special focus from the company. Pepsi Co. helps the retailers to serve its customer better by providing good margin to them for storing its product using merchandising to improve in-store product display, installing cooling equipment in outlets to make the product ready to drink and offering different promotion schemes to them time to time to push different brands,

HISTORY

Page 20: Final Project

Lay's is the brand name for a number of potato chip varieties as well as the name of the company that founded the chip brand in 1938. Lay's chips are marketed as a division of Frito-Lay, a company owned by PepsiCo Inc. since 1965. Other brands in the Frito-Lay group include Fritos, Doritos, Ruffles, Cheetos and Rold Gold pretzels. Contents

In 1932 salesman Herman W. Lay opened a snack food operation in Nashville, Tennessee and, in 1938; he purchased the Atlanta, Georgia potato chip manufacturer "Barrett Food Company," renaming it "H.W. Lay & Company." Lay criss-crossed the Southern United States selling the product from the trunk of his car. In 1942, Lay introduced the first continuous potato processor, resulting in the first large-scale production of the product.

The business shortened its name to "the Lay's Company" in 1944 and became the first Snack food manufacturer to purchase television commercials, with Bert Lahr as a celebrity spokesman. His signature line, "so crisp you can hear the freshness," became the chips' first slogan along with "de-Lay-sious!" As the popular commercials aired during the 1950s, Lay's went national in its marketing and was soon supplying product throughout the United States.

In 1961, the Frito Company founded by Elmer Doolin and Lay's merged to form Frito-Lay Inc., a snack food giant with combined sales of over $127 million annually, the largest of any manufacturer. Shortly thereafter, Lays introduced its best-known slogan "betcha you can't eat just one." Sales of the chips became international, with marketing assisted by a number of celebrity endorsers.

In 1965, Frito-Lay merged with the Pepsi Cola Company to form PepsiCo, Inc. and a barbecue version of the chips appeared on grocery shelves. A new formulation of chip was introduced in 1991 that was crisper and kept fresher longer. Shortly thereafter, the company introduced the "Wavy Lays" products to grocer shelves. In the mid to late 1990s, Lay's modified its barbecue chips formula and rebranded it as "K.C. Masterpiece," named after a popular sauce, and introduced a lower calorie baked version and a variety that was completely fat-free (Lay's WOW chips containing the fat substitute olestra).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

IMPORTANCE OF DATA :

Page 30: Final Project

Date constitutes the subject matter of analysis. One cannot draw inferences without

analyzing data. The relevance, adequacy and reliability of data determine the quality of

the study. Data form the basis of hypothesis testing. They are the basic input for

constructing measurement scales. The entire scientific process of measurement, analysis,

testing and inferences depends upon the availability or relevant and accurate data.

Researchers are often tempted to plunge into primary date collection by means of

experiments, surveys, and observations, etc. However, it is not pragmatic to collect

primary data, without exploring the available secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA:

Data that us collected for the specific purpose at hand is called as primary data. It is

customized according to the needs of the researcher and focuses exclusively on the

current research problem. The collection of primary data is costly and time consuming. It

calls for greater planning and coordination. Collection of primary data requires

deploying more manpower. In situations where it is impossible to use the secondary data

keeping in view the requirements of the study, or in cases where there is no secondary

data available, the only way out is to collect primary data.

Basic methods of colleting primary data : Methods of primary data collection can be

classified under two heads :

The Questionnaire method : The respondent is questioned directly about aspects of

interest to the researcher.

The Observation method : The researcher simply observes the subject and records

relevant aspects of this behavior

SECONDARY DATA:

Secondary data may be defined as data that has been collected earlier for some

purpose other than the purpose of the present study. Any data that is available prior to

Page 31: Final Project

the commencement of the research project is secondary data, and therefore secondary

data is also called as historical data. Secondary sources of data provide a wealth of

information to the researcher. It often obviates the need of primary data collection and

saves valuable time, effort and money. Even where subsequent primary data collection is

required, an analysis of secondary data enlightens the researcher regarding many aspects

of the study and gives contextual familiarity for primary data collection. It thus provides

rich insights into the research process.

Use of Secondary data –

Secondary date serves one or all the following three purpose –

It acts as a reference for the present study. For e.g. a study dealing with divided payout

performance of listed companies in the pharmaceuticals industry will find the data

collected and complied by the stock markets useful as a reference material.

The secondary data be a useful benchmark against which the findings of the study can be

tested. For e.g. The dividend payout ratio of the software or the FMCG sector can be

used as a benchmark for the study mentioned above.

At times it may be the only source of data

SAMPLING METHODS

Page 32: Final Project

Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the whole population.

The sample design used in this project is two state sampling i.e. cluster sampling and

convenience sampling.

I have visited particular retail outlets of the east zone of Nagpur city. The total sample

size was 100.

CLUSTER SAMPLING

Here the whole area is divided into some geographical area and a definite number of

retailers were to be surveyed.

CONVINIENCE SAMPLING

This type of sampling is chosen purely on the basis of convenience and according to

convenience.

SAMPLING

1. Sampling Technique : Non probability sampling

(A non probability sampling techniue

Page 33: Final Project

is that in which each element in the

population does not have an equal

chance of getting selected).

2. Sample Unit : Retailers

3. Sample size : 100 respondents.

4. Method : Direct interview through questionnaire.

5. Data analysis method : Graphical method.

6. Area of survey : East zone of Nagpur city.

7. Timing of survey : 3.00 pm to 8.00 pm

FIELD WORK- METHOD USED FOR DATA COLLECTION

Questionnaire was prepared keeping the objective of research in mind.

Page 34: Final Project

The help of questionnaires conducted direct interviews, in order to get accurate

information.

In order to get correct information we had to approach Retailers.

I visited as many respondents as i can and asked them about the problems (gap) in

distribution.

It is really a Herculean task to understand Retailers Behavior.

In order to collect accurate information we visited to East zone of Nagpur city. each

and every question was filled personally by the respondents and checked properly.
