OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objective is to check the awareness of Pepsi T. V. ad. Promo among the retailers
/ traders.
This was done considering the following,
1) Usually the retailers will be in their shops or on business.
2) They were confused about the ad. I.e. they were thinking that there is Pepsi
Channel to be launched.
3) The ad. created hype in the minds that Pepsi is going to come out with the
new T. V. known as Pepsi T. V.
4) Many retailers were unknown about the benefits to be given to the
consumers.
Therefore, as the retailers are the means foe sales they should be
confronted about the advertisement and the benefits to be given to the
consumers.

ADVERTISEMENT
Advertisement plays a very important role in marketing or sales of
product. Advertisement must be meaningful and clearly understood they should
convey the message in a unique way. It means that there should be creativity, which
should make it different from other advertisements.
It should be made taking into consideration the country in which
they are telecasting because an Indian may not understand an American ad. It is so
because perception and attitude differs
The cost is too high but it a means of mass communication.
It must be seen that showing ads at wrong time is waste of capital/money. The time
has to be studied at what time the televisions of mass people will be switched on.

EXPLAINATION
Chart 3 shows the number of cases sold before and during my project.
The figures indicate the number of cases sold from March to June and each
case consist of nine bottles.
When we look at the chart2 we get a clear picture of sales raising in the
month of May (585 cases) compared to the sales figure of March (562 cases)
and April (501 cases).
There was a drastic fall in the month of June (190 cases) as the monsoon
already hit Mysore in the first week of June.
The sales figure of July was not available as my project completed in the
mid of July and the sales results/figures will be available only at the end of the
month.

CALCULATION OF PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN SALES
The two months taken for comparison are April and May
April – Before the project was done
May – Project Month
June is not taken for comparison because monsoon hit Mysore in first
week itself.
APRIL MAY % Increase
2 litre 501 585 7.73
Working:-
When:
Total sales 1086 (501 + 585)
Incremental sales 84 (585-501)
Therefore, for 100 cases
Incremental sales will be= 100 x 84 =7.73%

DISCUSSION
During the survey I found the following when discussed with the
retailers
1. Consumer involvement
2. Generating curiosity and a buzz (though it has turned out to be an
anti-climax)
3. It may actually succeed in product usage because most of the
TG( i.e. youngsters) watch a lot of television and definitely
consuming Pepsi at the same time will just add to the experience.
4. It chose Priyanka chopra and kareena Kapoor who are
unarguably the most happening young actresses and have a great
appeal in the youngsters.

SUGGESTIONS
1. Workshop for retailers : - Workshop should be conducted in
such a place of a locality where in it is easy for the retailers to
attend and get the necessary information of the new suspense ads
in future. It should also be taken into consideration that there is
minimum investment of time in this workshop because the
retailers will think that it is wastage of time. This will be the
motivating factor for the retailers because they will think that
the company is showing interest in helping them to increase their
sales. This in turn will help the company increasing its sales.
Therefore the company should take necessary steps in
organizing the workshops.
2. Print Media : - Print Media plays an important role after
electronic media, because in the electronic media advertisements
will be of hardly one minute and may not convey the full details.
Pamphlets should be used as well as newspapers
