Which 300ml RGB brand you are more satisfied to sell?

Actual Work Done

Findings

• The major competitor PEPSI is getting the market aggressively

through its services and high margin issues.

• Retailer in some area revealed that they are not getting schemes i.e.

distributors are not providing schemes properly mostly in rural areas.

• Minute maid Nimbo Fresh and 200ml RGB brand packages are getting

popularity.

Recommendations

• Strongly believe that RGB should be replaced with Pet bottles of same

size because it will solve out all the problems for both -:

a) Retailers b) Company

• Younger generation are more interested in soft drinks ,so new

openings in institutional areas should be increased.

• The product could be sold in packs of 2 or more, so there could be a

price reduction.

• Use some proper methodology to provide the information about the

schemes directly to the retailers.

• Company should try to sort out the personal misunderstandings and

problems with distributors and retailers.
