INTRODUCTION

Advertising is an art not a science. Effectiveness of which cannot be measured

with a mathematical or empirical formula some advertisers argue that advertising

efforts go to waste, but every advertiser is keenly interested in measuring or in evaluation

of advertising effectiveness. Testing for the effectiveness of advertisement will lead

advertisement testing must be done either before or after the advertisement has done in

the media. It is of two types, protesting which are done before the advertisement has been

launched and one is referred to as cost testing which is done before the advertisement has

been launched and one is referred to as cost testing which is done after launching the

advertising campaign. The basic purpose of advertising effectiveness is to avoid costly

mistakes, to predict the relative

Strength of alternative strength of alternative advertising strategies and to increase

their efficiency. In measurement of advertisement effectiveness feedback is always useful

even if it costs some extra expenditure to the advertiser.

The objectives of all business are to makes profits and a merchandising concern

can do that by increasing its sales at remunerative prices. This is possible, if the product

is widely polished to be audience the final consumers, channel members and industrial

users and through convincing arguments it is persuaded to buy it. Publicity makes a thing

or an idea known to people. It is a general term indicating efforts at mass appeal. As

personal stimulation of demand for a product service or business unit by planting

commercially significant news about it in a published medium or obtaining favorable

presentation of it upon video television or stage that is not paid for by the sponsor.

          On the other hand, advertising denotes a specific attempt to popularize a specific

product or service at a certain cost. It is a method of publicity. It always intentional

openly sponsored by the sponsor and involves certain cost and hence is paid for. It is a

common form of nonpersonal communication about an organization and or its products

idea service etc. that is transmitted to a target audience through a mass medium. In

common parlance the term publicity and advertising are used synonymously.

What is advertising?

The word ‘Advertising’ has its origin from a Latin word ‘Adventure’ which means to turn

to. The dictionary meaning of the word is ‘to announce publicity or to give public

concerned to a specific thing which has been announced by the advertiser publicity in

order to inform and influence them with

Reread them or pass them on to other. Some magazines have prestige value. The

marketer can cover national or large regional markets at a low cost per contract

(per individual reached). Magazines generally offer high-quality printing

of advertisement.

Simply stated advertising is the art "says green." Advertising is a general term for and all

forms of publicity, from the cry of the street boy selling newspapers to the most celebrate

attention attracts device. The object always is to bring to public notice some articles or

service, to create a demand to stimulate buying and in general to bring together the man

with something to sell and the man who has means or desires to buy".

Advertising has been defined by different experts. Some of the quoted definitions are:

According to American Marketing Association “Advertising is any paid form of

nonpersonal paid of presentation of ideas goods or services by an identified sponsor”.

 Indian marketing association has defined advertising as “any paid form of nonpersonal

presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor”. The

medium used are print broadcast and direct.

Stanton deserves that "Advertising consists of all the activities involved in presenting to a

group a non- personal, oral or visual openly, sponsored message regarding a product,

service, or idea. This message called an advertisement is disseminated through one or

more media and is paid for by the identified sponsor.

Advertisement carries:

In business world the terms in mainly used with reference to selling the product of

the concern. The advertising, as Jones defines it is "a sort of machine made mass

production method of selling which supplements the voice and personality of the

individual salesman, such as manufacturing the machine supplements the hands of the

craftsman." It is thus a process of buying/sponsor/identified media space or time in order

to promote a product or an idea. From a careful scrutiny of the above definition, the

following points emerge:

Advertising is a paid form and hence commercial in nature. This any sponsored

communication designed to influence buyer behavior advertising. Advertising is non-

personal. Unlike personal selling, advertising is done in a non- personal manner through

intermediaries or media whatever the form of advertisement (Spoken, written or visual).

It is directed at a mass audience and not directed at the individual as in personal selling.

Advertising promotes idea, goods and services. Although most advertising is designed to

help sell goods, it is being used increasingly to further public interest goals. Advertising

is identifiable with its sponsoring authority and advertiser. It discloses or identifies the

source of opinions and ideas. Advertising thus is: 1. Impersonal 2.A communication of

ideas. 3. Aimed at mass audience 4.By a paying sponsor. The two forms of

mass communication that are something confused with advertising or publicity and

propaganda. If we eliminate the elements of the "paying sponsor" (The paid requirement)

we would have the element of publicity left: For publicity is technically speaking,

advertisement without payment. In a similar manner. If we eliminate the requirement of

an "identified sponsor", the resulting communication is propagandistic. It is important for

us to emphasize that advertising may involve the communication of ideas or goods of

service. We are all aware that advertising attempts to sell goods and services. But we may

overlook the more important fact that it often sells ideas.

NEED OF THE STUDY

campaign was successful or not, the awareness level of products, the advertising

campaign increased the customer base or not and which media carry the

advertisement successfully.

opinions and perceptions. These factors may be changed from time to time.

CHAPTER – II

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Present soft drink boon in India was attributed to the legacy of Coca-Cola, which was

there in India till 1977. in today’s market the Coca-Cola (Coke, Thums Up, Fanta, Limca,

Sprite , Vanilla Coke, etc.) hold a 62% market share appears to bear concentrated rush to

beg a big share in the soft drink market.

Various national & multinational firms are engaged in soft drink market due to increase

in its demand day by day. As far as INDIA soft drink market is concerned there are major

company’s engaged having a big completion to capture the soft drink market are namely

Coca-Cola &Pepsi. While Campa Cola & many local cola’s still notice in the Indian

Market. Pepsi Cola attacked Coca-Cola before World War II. Coca Cola dominated the

American soft drink industry, Pepsi cola was a drink less to manufactures & with a less

satisfactory taste then Coke. Where as Coca-Cola major selling point was more drink for

the same price and Pepsi emphasized on advertising. During World War II Pepsi & Coke

both enjoyed increased sale. After the war Pepsi sale was started to fall relatively to

Coke, resulting the Coca-Cola had starting to click the Market share. A number of factory

contributed to Pepsi problem were poor image, poor taskforce, poor quality control etc.

At that point Alfred.N.Steeler came to the presidency of Pepsi cola with a great

reputation for merchandising. He and his staff recognized that the main hope lay

transforming Pepsi from a cheap imitator of Coke into a class on soft drink manufacturer.

By 1955 all Pepsi’s major weakness had been overcome, resulting sales had climbed

substantially. These actions from 1955 to 1960 led to a considerable sales growth for

Pepsi. In India another company engaged in soft drink market is Coca-Cola. It is one of

the most widely known, accepted and admired trademarks of the world. Coca-Cola was

their in India till 1977, when the Indian Government banned it due to strong resentment

against multinational company’s Coca-Cola was re-launched again in India in September

1993 at “HATHRAS” near Agra. The Indian people welcomed the comeback of their

most loved Cola in the country with great enthusiasm and vigor.

Coca-Cola marked its re-launching with acquiring five Parley drinks viz. Thumps Up,

Gold Spot, Limca, Citra, Maaza, Soda. Soft drink industry is one of the fastest growing

industries in India. The basic idea behind the rapid growth of this industry is due to

following reasons:

1. The great corporate war between Coke & Pepsi, who left no stone unturned, for

monopolize the Soft Drink market.

2. The basic ideology of these two giants is to promote soft drinks as a food item in

India hold

3. The long hot summers in India have increased the consumption of soft drinks.

SOFT DRINK MARKET INDIAN SCENARIO:

India soft drink industry is witnessing a boom time. Its growth rate is around 20% with

which such growth rate, volume could reach billion creates within 10 years. There major

multinational companies are fighting to grab a major chunk of business from Indian

markets. These three coca-cola, Pepsi, Cadbury. All of these companies have seen an

enormous potential in this country. Consequently, by world standard, Indian per capita

consumption of soft drinks is still very low.

 Therefore these soft drinks grants feel that fire capita consumption can only grow up.

Soft drink industries has already seen and estimated sale of around 240 million crates

higher than last year’s sale of 204 million in 1998. The Main reason for such a high

growth rate heightened competition between coca-cola and Pepsi, Cadbury, bring a new

entrant is for behind. India is actually more vivid in taste and preference than any other

country market. Delhi jar instance, account for about 20% of total soft consumption in

term of sales. There are about 4, 80,000 soft drinks retailers in India and their numbers

are increasing day today. This actually means that there is just one soft drink retailer on a

population of 37, 600, which is far below the international standard. Whereas Philippines

has one soft drink retail counter over a population of 150 people i.e. 4, 00,000 outlets on

a population of 60 million.

India is one of the top most five markets in terms of growth of the soft drink market. The

per capita consumption of the soft drinks in the country is estimated to be around six

bottles per annum in the year 2003. It is very low compared to the corresponding figures

in US (600+ bottles plant per annum).

The major players in the soft drinks market in India are PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, like

elsewhere in the world. Coca Cola acquired the number of local brands like Limca,

Thums Up when it entered in Indian market for the second time.

Pepsi's soft drink portfolio also consists of the Miranda and 7 Up along with the Pepsi.

The market share of each of the company is more or less same, though there is a conflict

in the estimate quoted by the different sources.

The major ingredient in the soft drink is water. It constitutes close to 91% of the soft

drink content. Added to this, the drink also contains sweeteners, Citric Acid, Malic acid,

Color, Preservative, and Antioxidant.

Cola war Between Pepsi & Coca-Cola:

Bottlers to enhance its control on manufacturing and marketing of its product range and

attain the quality standards of its class. Countering its Pepsi has taken the baton in its own

hands by floating and investment of $95 millions to set 6 PepsiCo. India Holdings, a

subsidiary for company’s owned bottling operation (COBO). Both of the companies are

following different path to reach the same destiny i.e. to fetch the bigger portion of

aerated soft drink market in India both the competitors have distinct vision and priorities

about the Indian soft drink market through having so much difference and distances with

each other, they both consider India as a huge potential market as per capita consumption

here in 3 servings per year against an international of 80. thought out, they are putting

their best efforts to woo Indian consumer who has to work for 1.5 hours to buy a bottle

crossover for both the athletes running for getting No.1 position Coca- Cola is well set

with it’s 53 bottling sites thought out  the  country giving it an edge over competition by

possessing a well built manufacturing and distribution set up on the side of picture, Pepsi,

with two more year in India, has been able to set an image of winner this giants are ready

to turn every stone of opportunity with a mindset of long tenure this time.

Coca –Cola has been penetrating the market through its wide product range with a

determinant to change competition pattern of soft drink in India Firstly, they upgrade the

whole industry by introducing 300ml bottles, which in turn, had given the industry a

booming growth of 20% as compared to earlier 5% they want to develop a coca culture

here and are working on a strategy to offer soft drink in every possible package. In Coca-

Cola camp, the idea of competition has not come from Pepsi, but from the other

beverages such as Tea, Coffee, Nimbu Pani, Water etc. Pepsi is quite aggressive in its

approach to Indian consumer. They are desperately working in the strategy to be winner

side in the hot cola war between two big barons. According to Pepsi philosophy it’s the

madness that encourages executives to thin to conjure up those creative tactics to knock

the fizz out of their competition. Pepsi had pumped large amount on the visibility of its

blue, red and white logo. They have been going with aggressive marketing their

advertisement to endorse their brand, the role model for it’s targeted consumer the

teenagers. They have increase the fizz in the market price by Introducing the dispensers

called fountain Pepsi and been enjoying a lead over its rival three.

Coca-Cola on the other hand, has been working on the saying ‘skew’ and stead with

‘race’, side by side retailing to the every move of its competitor. They have produced the

shield of Thumps Up with a handsome market share in India soft drink market.

Countering Pepsi, international commercial that used two chimpanzees to coke a snack at

coke, Thums Up came with the aid line, “Don’t be Bandar, taste the thunder” also

Thumps Up has been positioned now very near to that of young in age of Pepsi and

giving it tough time. Everything has been put on fire by these cool merchants if coke got

the status of the “Official drink of Wills World Cup”, Pepsi blushed as “Nothing official

about it”. As Thumps Up projected as “Saare Jahan Se Achcha”. Pepsi was passionate

enough with “Freedom to be”. When Thumps Up came up with “Thunder Blast”, the

other one offered, Pepsi Stuff Card”. If red color is meant for Coke, Pepsi has chosen to

be Blue. In this way, Indian consumer is getting more fizz and punch from the two big

brothers and he has to given not about the winner.

OVERVIEW OF PEPSICO INDIA

PepsiCo in India:

PepsiCo has established its business operations in India in 1989 and has grown to become

the one of the country’s leading food and the beverage companies. One of the largest

multinational investors in the country, PepsiCo has established a business, which aims to

serve the long term dynamic, needs of Indian consumers.

Initially PepsiCo has joint venture with the Punjab government-owned Punjab. Agro

Industrial Organization and the Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and

sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991, when the use of foreign brands was allowed, PepsiCo bought

out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. Others claim that firstly Pepsi was

banned from the import in India, in 1970, for having refused to release the list of its

ingredients and in 1993, the ban was lifted, with Pepsi arriving on the market shortly

afterwards.

These controversies are a reminder of "India's sometimes acrimonious relationship with

the huge multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and Coca Cola

Company have "been major targets in part because they are well-known foreign

companies that draw plenty of the attention."

In 2003, the Central for Science and Environment, a non governmental organization New

Delhi, said that aerated waters produced by soft drinks manufacturers in India, including

multinational giants PepsiCo and tested products included Coke, Mirinda, 7Up, Thums

Up, Fanta, and Sprite. CSE found that the Indian produced Pepsi's soft drink products had

36 times the level of pesticide residues permitted under the European Union regulations,

Coca Cola's 30 times. CSE said that it had tested the same products in the US and found

no such residues. However, this was the European standard for water, not for the other

drinks. No law bans the presence of pesticides in drinks in India.

The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo angrily denied allegations that their products are

manufactured in India contained toxin levels far above the norms permitted in developed

world. But an Indian parliamentary committee, in 2004, backed up CSE's findings and by

a government-appointed committee, is now trying to develop the world's first pesticides

standards for Soft Drink Company. Coke and Pepsi opposed the move, arguing that lab

tests are not reliable enough to detect minute traces of pesticides in complex drinks.

As of 2005, The Coca-Cola Company and the PepsiCo together hold 97% market share

of soft drink sales in the India. PepsiCo has also been accused by the Puthussery

panchayat in the Palakkad district in the Kerala, India, of practicing "water piracy" due to

its role in the exploitation of groundwater resources resulting in the scarcity of drinking

water for the panchayat residents, who have been pressuring the government to close

down the PepsiCo unit in the villages.

In the year 2006, the CSE again found that soda drinks, including both the Pepsi and the

Coca-Cola, had high levels of pesticides in their drinks. Both the PepsiCo and The Coca-

Cola Company maintain that their drinks are safe for the consumption and have published

in newspaper advertisement that say that pesticide levels in their products are less than

those in other foods such as tea, fruit and dairy products.

In the Indian state of Kerala sales and production of Pepsi-Cola, along with other   soft

drinks, was banned by the state government in 2007, but this was reversed by the Kerala

High Court merely a month later. Five other Indian states have announced a partial bans

on the drinks in the schools, colleges and the hospitals.

PepsiCo India and its partners have invested more than USD1 billion since the company

was established in the country. PepsiCo India provides the direct and indirect

employment to 150,000 people including suppliers and the distributors.

PepsiCo nourishes consumers with a range of the products from treats to healthy eats,

which deliver joy as well as nutrition and, good taste. PepsiCo India’s expansive portfolio

includes the iconic refreshment beverages Pepsi, 7UP, Mirinda and Mountain Dew, in

addition to low calorie options such as the Diet Pepsi, hydrating and nutritional beverages

such as the Aquafina drinking water, isotonic sports drinks Gatorade, Tropicana 100%

fruit juices, and juice based drinks, Tropicana Nectars, and Slice. Local brands Lehar

Evervess Soda, Dukes Lemonade and Mangola add to the diverse range of the brands.

PepsiCo’s foods company is the leader in the branded salty snack market and all the Frito

laid products are free of trans-fat and the MSG. It manufactures Lay’s Potato Chips

Uncle Chipps and the traditional snacks under the Kurkure and Lehar brands. The

company’s high fiber breakfast Quaker Oats, and low fat and roasted snack options

LITERATURE REVIEW

According to Wheeler, “Advertising is any form of paid non-personal presentation of

ideas, goods or services for the purpose of inducing people to buy”.

According to William J. Stanton, “Advertising consists of all the activities involved in

presenting to a group a non-personal, oral or visual openly sponsored message regarding

a product service or idea. This message is called on advertisement is disseminated

through one or more media and is paid for by an identified sponsor”

promotes specific, trended products in such a manner as to make the brands seem more

desirable. It is used by business government organization and private non-business

organizations to promote the uses features, images and benefits of their services and

products.   Product advertising is subdivided into direct action and indirect action

advertising, Direct action product advertising wages the buyer to take action at once, ice

he seeks a quick response to the advertisement which may be to order the product by

mail, or mailing a coupon, or he may promptly purchase in a retail store in response to

prince reduction during clearance sale.

          Product advertising is subdivided into direct & indirect action advertising &

product advertising aims at informing persons about what a products is what it does, how

it is used and where it can be purchased. On the other hand selective advertising is made

to meet the selective demand for a particular brand or type is product.

b)      Institutional Advertising:

          It is designed to create a proper attitude towards the sellers to build company image

or goodwill rather than to sell specific product or service. Its purpose is to create a frame

of mind and to implant feeling favorable to the advertisers company. Its assignment is to

make friends for the institution or organization.

          It is sub-divided into three categories: patronage, public, relations and public

service institutional advertising.

i) In patronage institutional advertising the manufacturer tells his prospects and

customer about himself his policies and lives personnel. The appeals to the

patronage motivation of buyers. If successful, he convinces buyers that his

operation entitles him to the money spent by them.

ii) Public relations institutional advertising is used to create a favourable image of

the firm among employees, stockholders or the general public.

iii) Public service institutional advertising jobs public support

WHY & WHEN TO ADVERTISE:

          Advertising as a tool to marketing not only reaches those who buy, but also those

whose opinions or authority is counted for example a manufacturer of marble tiles and

building boards advertises not only to people who intend to build houses but also to

architect and engineers. While the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals products advertise

to doctors as well as to the general public. At time it is necessary for a manufacturer or a

concern to advertise things which it does not sell but which when sold stimulates the

sales of its own product. There are concerns like electric heaters, iron etc. because the use

of these increases the demand for their products.

          Advertising should be used only when it promises to bring good result more

economically and efficiently as compared to other means of selling. There are goods for

which much time and efforts are required in creating a demand by sending salesman to

prospective buyers than by simply advertising them. In the early days of the cash register

in India it was sold by specially trained salesman who called on the prospective users and

had the difficult task of convincing them that they could no longer carry on with the old

methods, and that they urgently needed a cash register. In our country certain publishers

have found it less costly to sell their books by sending salesman from house to house

among prospective buyers than to advertise them. In these two examples the cost of

creating demand would be too high if attempted by advertising alone under such

circumstances advertising is used to make the salesman acceptable to the people they call

upon to increase the confidence of the public in the house. Naturals when there are good

profits competitors will be attracted and they should be kicked out as and when sufficient

capital is available by advertising on a large scale. Immediate result may not justify the

increased expenditure but it will no doubt secure future sales.

Sales-Effect:

Communication-effect advertising research helps advertisers assess advertising’s

communication effects but reveals little about its sales impact. What sales a regenerated

by an advertisement that increases brand awareness by 20% and brand preference by

10%? Advertising’s sales effect is generally harder to measure than its communication

effect. Sales are influenced by many factors besides advertising, such as the product’s

features, price, availability and competitors' actions. The fewer or more controllable these

other factors are, the easier it is to measure advertising's effect on sales. The sales impact

is easiest to measure in direct-marketing's effect on sales. The sales impact is easiest it is

to measure in direct-marketing situations and hardest measure in brand or corporate-

image-building advertising.

PROGRESS TESTS

These assess the various stages of buyer awareness, preference, buying intention and the

actual purchase in relation to advertising Effort. They are called sales effect tests.

 Measuring Sales Response to Advertising:

Though increase in sales in the true measure of advertising effectiveness, in reality it’s

difficult to measure the increase that is due to a particular advertisement. It is

rather difficult to correlate the response in sales with the advertising programme.

However, a few methods have been discarded in the following paragraphs which are

generally used to measure the sales response to advertising.

Sales Results Tests:

The additional sales generated by the advertisements are recorded, taking several routes.

Past Sales before the advertisement and sales after the advertisement are noted. The

difference is attributed toad impact. Controlled Experiment: In experimental market, any

one element of marketing mix is changed.

It is compared with the sales of another similar market. The element's presence

observance is a reason for difference in sales. Instead of two markets, the experiment can

be carried on the two groups of consumers. The inventory audit is dealers’ inventory

before and after the ad is run.

Attitude Tests:

This is an indirect measurement of the post-testing effects of advertisements on attitudes

towards the advertised product or brands. The change in attitude as a result of advertising

is assessed. The assumption is that favourable attitude towards the product may lead

to purchases. Most advertisements are designed to either reinforce or change existing

attitudes. An attitude is a favourable or unfavourable feeling about a product.  

Selecting the Media:

           Media   selection  is   an   important   since   it   costs  time space  and  money  various   factors 

influence this selection, the most fundamental being the nature of the target market segment, 

the type of the product and the cost involved. The distinctive characteristics of various media 

are also important. Therefore management should focus its attention on media compatibility 

with advertising objectives.

Modern Advertising Techniques:

Include seven that you should consider:

1. Email Advertising

2. Video Advertising

3. Audio Advertising

4. Search Advertising

5. Onsite Advertising

6. Mobile Phone Advertising

I recently completed a series of posts on these modern advertising techniques. The posts

provide additional information on each technique so I’ve linked to them when relevant.

1. E-mail Advertising:

Email advertising tops this list of modern advertising techniques because it tops the lists

of new and growing advertising expenditures. From small Internet marketers to large

offline and online stores, email advertising is vital to modern advertising and marketing

campaigns.

2. Video Advertising:

Video Advertising can be done on and off line. Many local cable channels offer video ads

and infomercials on a search basis for viewers. So your ad is only seen by people

interested in what you sell. Video marketing is also big on the Internet. Most online

videos are more promotion than advertising, but they play an important role in online

success.

3. Audio Advertising:

Audio advertising, whether across the Internet or the airwaves enables you to target a

narrow market and to deliver relevant and timely messages that encourage an immediate

response.

Although second to video online, offline audio advertising (radio advertising) provides all

the benefits of online audio advertising. And if you advertise on highly targeted stations

and shows, it isn’t that expensive.

4. Search Advertising:

Search advertising, like Google’s Ad words, can provide much traffic for an online

business, but it can also cost far more than it returns in sales. To use search advertising

effectively, you need to constantly test your ads. Then rewrite and redesign them from

your test results. There’s both skill and science to search advertising. So before you jump

in, read some e books and study the search engine’s documents about their pay per click

programs.

5. Onsite Advertising:

Onsite advertising can be considerably less expensive than search advertising. Generally

a click from an ad on site costs less than the same click from a search. With Google’s

new Ad Planner, it will be easy to target a market with ads across the Internet. You can

even pick the sites that you want to carry your ads and deny ones that you don’t.

6. Mobile Phone Advertising:

Mobile phone advertising is projected to grow from just under 500 million in 2006 to a

almost 5 billion by 2011.And why not. It’s interactive, unobtrusive, and immediate. Most

people have their mobile phones with them all the time. So they can react instantly to

banner phone ads that catch their attention.
