before commencing my summer internship. But after the successful completion of my summer
internship I came to know that managers are guided properly and are motivated to work willingly
towards fulfillment of specific goal.
The satisfaction and euphoria that accompany the successful completion of the work would be
incomplete unless we mention the people as an expression of gratitude who made it possible and
whose constant guidance and encouragement serve as a beacon of light and crowned my efforts with
success. The project report is the outcome of the backing and encouragement of the number of
persons whom I have been associated during the past two months.

PREFACE
Practical knowledge is an important suffix to theoretical knowledge. One cannot merely depend upon
the theoretical knowledge. Classroom lectures make the fundamental concept of management clear.
They also facilitate the learning of practical things. However, classroom lectures must be correlated
with the practical training situations. It is in the sense that practical training in a company has a
significant role to play in the subject of business management. Market research is indeed in ancient
art; it has been practiced in one form of the other since the day of Adam and eve. Its emergence is of
relatively recent origin for success of any business and within this relatively short period, it has joined
a carry great deal of importance.
Management in India is heading towards a better profession as compared to other professions. The
demand for professional managers is increasing day by day. To achieve profession competence,
manager ought to be fully occupied with theory and practical exposure of management. a
comprehensive understanding of the principle will increases their decision making ability and
sharpens their tools for this purpose this objective can be easily achieved in summer training as the
objective of training is to enable the trainee to observe management problem & situation in a real life
organization & to report facts, observation & inferences .
As an essential part of our course, I got the privilege to have training in ICEBERG FOOD
LIMITED Pune for its brand ³kingfisher Packaged Drinking Water´, under the guidance of
Mr.Pradeep Patil(Area sales manager).
As my area of interest is marketing, the project was provided to me titles ³Distributer and Retailer
satisfaction survey with special reference to iceberg food ltd for selected product of kingfisher
(like package drinking water as well as soda water in Pune city.´
I have tried my best to make this report a reader friendly & also did my level best to fulfill the
objective of summer training.

1.1 Basic Theoretical Concept and Context of the Topic
Business exists to satisfy customer the existence of the customer is integral to the existence of
retailers.
The ability to understand consumers is the key to developing a successful retail strategy. To be
able to satisfy the customer, it is necessary to understand him, his needs and how he responds to
various marketing efforts undertaken by the retail organization.
Retail
Retail is a final stage of any economic activity. It occupies an important place in the world
economy.

2.1.2HISTORY
It was the late 19th century. Beer was delivered in bullock carts in casks called ³hogsheads³.
Consumers were mostly defense personnel. Over hundred years have passed. Beer from United
Breweries is now delivered all over the world, catering to the needs of consumers across generations
and continents. From modest, local beginnings, the UB Group has transformed into a global
conglomerate.
The Castle Brewery which dates back to 1857 (the year of the Indian mutiny) was set up for the
European planters scattered over the Nilgiris. So was the Nilgiris Brewery Company. The British
Brewing Corporation set up in Madras (1902) catered to the elite of the port town of Madras while
the Bangalore Brewery Company had been supplying beer for the troops stationed at Pune and
Bangalore since 1885.
United Breweries Limited (UBL) was founded on March 15, 1915, in Madras by Thomas Leishman,
a Scotsman, also its first Managing Director. UBL manufactured and sold only bulk beer for troops of
both the world wars. It was a classic case of role reversal ± India being introduced to this µexotic¶
brew and in turn becoming its major exporter.
2.1.3 Consolidating growth
The Company¶s brewing tradition has a legacy of nearly 130 eventful years. Along its journey
through the global Alcoholic Beverages landscape, UBL has consistently influenced business
paradigms, beer-drinking habits and conventional mindsets. One man played a pivotal role in the
Group¶s growth ± Vittal Mallya who was elected to the Board of Directors of UBL in 1947 at the age
of 22 and a year later became its Chairman. Bangalore has been at the core of UBL¶s existence. The
Registered Office of UBL was shifted to Bangalore in June 1952, into the spacious 22-acre factory of
the Bangalore Brewery Company. The Bangalore Brewery buildings, dating as far back as 1885, have
since given way to newer construction. The only relic that still stands is the present go down adjacent
to the UB Towers building, which earlier housed the bottling cellars, pasteurizing and packing
departments. The five acres of land across the road donated to the Jesuit Society now forms the
campus of St Joseph¶s Indian High School.

2.3 Industry Profile
My project is based on kingfisher Package Drinking water and Soda, Package Drinking water and
Soda are the part of FMCG Sectors so we should know something about FMCG sector.
2.3.1What are FMCGs?
We regularly talk about things like butter, potato chips, toothpastes, razors, household care products,packaged food and beverages, etc. But do we know under which category these things come? Theyare called FMCGs. FMCG is an acronym for Fast Moving Consumer Goods, which refer to thingsthat we buy from local supermarkets on daily basis, the things that have high turnover and arerelatively cheaper.
The Indian FMCG sector with a market size of US$13.1 billion is the fourth largest sector in the
economy. A well-established distribution network, intense competition between the organized andunorganized segments characterize the sector. FMCG Sector is expected to grow by over 60% by
2010. That will translate into an annual growth of 10% over a 5-year period. It has been estimated
that FMCG sector will rise from around Rs 56,500 crores in 2005 to Rs 92,100 crores in 2010.
2.3.2 Growth Prospects
With the presence of 12.2% of the world population in the villages of India, the Indian rural FMCG
market is something no one can overlook. Increased focus on farm sector will boost rural incomes,
hence providing better growth prospects to the FMCG companies. Better infrastructure facilities will
improve their supply chain. FMCG sector is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the
market. Because of the low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the country, FMCG
companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the companies are able to change the
mindset of the consumers.
The big firms are growing bigger and small-time companies are catching up as well. According to the
study conducted by AC Nielsen ,62 of the 100 brands are owned by MNCs, and the balance by Indian
companies. Fifteen companies own these 62 brands , and 27 of these are owned by Hindustan Lever.
Pepsi is at number three followed by Thums up . Britannia takes the fifth place , followed byColgate(6),Coca-Cola (8) and Parle (9).
These are the figures the soft drinks and cigarette companies have always shied away from revealing.
Personal care , cigarettes and soft drinks are the three categories in FMCG. Between them , they
account for 35 of the top 100 brands.

2.3.4 Analysis of FMCG Sector
Strengths:
1. Low operational costs
2. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas
3. Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector.
Weaknesses:
1. Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of scale, especially in small
sectors.
2. Low exports levels.
3. "Me-too" products, which illegally mimic the labels of the established brands. These products
narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural and semi-urban market.

Opportunities:
1. Untapped rural market.
2. Rising income levels i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers.
3. Large domestic market- a population of over one billion.
4. Export potential
Threats:
1. Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic brands.
2. Slowdown in rural demand.
3. Tax and regulatory structure
The performance of the industry was inconsistence in terms of sales and growth for over 4 years. The
investor in the sector was not gainer at par with other booming sectors. After 2 years of sinking
performance of FMCG sector the year 2005 has witnessed the FMCGs demand growing. Strong
growth was seen across various segment in FY 06, with the rise in disposable income and the
economic in good health, the urban consumers continued with their shopping spree.
After knowing about Indian FMCG Industry we should have a glance particularly on Package
Drinking Water Industry.

important necessity for life. The drinking-water needs for individuals vary depending on the climate,physical activity and the body culture. but for average consumers it is estimated to be about two to

increasing urbanization, increasing scarcity of pure and safe water etc. have made the bottled water
business just like other consumer items. Scarcity of potable and wholesome water at railway stations,
tourists spots, and role of tourism corp. etc. has also added to the growth.
Almost all the major international and national brands water bottles are available in Indian market
right from the malls to railway stations, bus stations, grocery stores and even at panwala's shop.
Before few years bottle water. was considered as the rich people's choice, but now it is penetratedeven in rural areas. The growth and status of Indian Bottled Industry in comparison with Western or
Asian market, India is far behind in terms of quantum, infrastructure, professionalism and standards
implementation. The per capita consumption of mineral water in India is a mere 0.5-liter compared to
111 liter in Europe and 45-liter in USA. Also As per UN study conducted in 122 countries, in
connection with water quality, India's number was dismal 120. In comparison to global standards
India's bottled water segment is largely unregulated.
Former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has urged youngsters on July 17, 2010 to be aware of water
conservation techniques to avoid grave water crisis in future."It is so sad that today, people are forced
to buy water in plastic bottles. I am told that bottled water industry is worth nearly 10000 crore rupees
and even big companies like the Coke and Pepsi are involved in this bottling of water and making
money. So, it is imperative that we ought to save water," he added.
Do not be surprise if today's bottles water industry becomes next Oil industry by 2025.
2.4.2 Bottled Water Industry in India
Water Shortage and Health Awareness Driving Bottled Water Consumption in India. The Indian
market is estimated at about Rs 1,000 Crore and is growing at whopping rate of 40 per cent. By 2010,
it will reach Rs 4,000 -5,000 Crore with 33 per cent market for natural mineral water.
According to a national-level study, there are more than 300 bottled water brands in India and among
them nearly 90 per cent are local brands. In fact, making bottled water is today a cottage industry in
the country. Leave alone the metros, where a bottled-water manufacturer can be found even in a one-
room shop.

While India ranks in the top 10 largest bottled water consumers in the world, its per capita per annum
consumption of bottled water is estimated to be five litres which is comparatively lower than the
global average of 24 litres. Today it is one of India's fastest growing industrial sectors. Between 1999
and 2004, the Indian bottled water market grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25 per
cent - the highest in the world. The total annual bottled water consumption in India had tripled to 5
billion liters in 2004 from 1.5 billion liters in 1999. Global consumption of bottled water was
nearing 200 billion liters in 2006.
2.4.3 Bottle water top players in India.
The top players in bottled water industry in India are the major international giants like Cocacola, Pepsi, Nestle and noticeable presence of national players like Mount Everest, Manikchand,Kingfisher, Mohan Meakins, SKN Breweries , Indian Railways so on. With increasing
competition, this sector will register a robust growth in 2010, predict industry analysts.
To take on rivals in this sector, PepsiCo India is drawing up a fresh game plan which includes,investment in capacity enhancement, packaging initiatives and below-the-line activities to pumpup volumes in the over-crowded category.
Meanwhile, swadeshi major Parle Agro is extending the manufacturing facility for Bailley from 29 to 60 plants this year. While swadeshi major Bisleri International is beefing upits distribution, manufacturing and marketing operations, Coca-Cola India is sharpening itsfocus on packaging initiatives of Kinley to woo new consumes.
In essence, the packaged water industry in India will soon witness a major tussle betweenswadeshi and videshi players to gain market and mind share.The western region accounts for 40 per cent of the market and the eastern region just 10.However, the bottling plants are concentrated in the southern region - of the approximately1,200 bottling water plants in India, 600 are in Tamil Nadu.
But a major problem is southern India, especially Tamil Nadu, is water starved.Top multinational players such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have been trying for the past decadeto capture the Indian bottled water market. Today they have captured a significant portion of it.However, Parle Bisleri continues to hold 40 per cent of the market share. Kinley and Aquafina
are fast catching up, with Kinley holding 20-25 per cent of the market and Aquafinaapproximately 10 per cent. The rest, including the smaller players, have 20-25 per cent of themarket share.

2.4.4 History of bottled water in India.
Mineral bottled water in India under the name 'Bisleri' was first introduced in Mumbai by Bisleri
Ltd., a company of Italian origin in 1965.
Mineral bottled water were in glass bottles in two varieties - bubbly and still in 1965 This companywas started by Signor Felice who first brought the idea of selling bottled water in India.Parle bought over Bisleri (India) Ltd. In 1969 and started bottling Mineral water in glass bottlesunder the brand name 'Bisleri'. Later Parle switched over to PVC non- returnable bottles and finallyadvanced to PET containers. Since 1995 Mr.Ramesh J. Chauhan has started expanding Bislerioperations substantially and the turn over has multiplied more than 20 times over a period of 10years and the average growth rate has been around 40% over this period. Presently it have 8 plantsand 11 franchisees all over India. Bisleri command a 60% market share of the organized market.
Currently, Bailley has a national presence in 5 lakh retail outlets across the country. ³We plan toincrease manufacturing plants for Bailley from 29 to 60, presently 40 plants are operational and fewmore will be ready for operations over the next few months,´ informed Nadia Chauhan, jointmanaging director of Parle Agro.
2.4.5 Variety of packages
Bottled water is sold in a variety of packages: pouches and glasses, 330 ml bottles, 500 ml bottles,one- litre bottles and even 20- to 50-litre bulk water packs. The formal bottled water business inIndia can be divided broadly into three segments in terms of cost: premium natural mineral water,natural mineral water and packaged drinking water.
Premium natural mineral water includes brands such as Evian, San Pelligrino and Perrier, whichare imported and priced between Rs.80 and Rs.110 a litre. Natural mineral water, with brands suchas Himalayan and Catch, is priced around Rs.20 a litre. Packaged drinking water, which is nothingbut treated water, is the biggest segment and includes brands such as Parle Bisleri, Coca-Cola'sKinley and PepsiCo's Aquafina. They are priced in the range of Rs.12-15 a litre.Bottled water major Bisleri International plans to launch fruit-flavoured water before the start of
the festive season this year, a top company official said. Bisleri, which enjoys 65 per cent marketshare in the branded water segment, is also eyeing a sharp growth in sales during the festive seasonthat begins from August.

2.4.6 Why Bottled water ?
Millions of people, both in rural and urban India, suffer from inadequate or no tap water supply.Even some parts of Mumbai, the country's financial capital, get a mere two hours of daily water supply. The city's Virar suburb gets 45 minutes. So bottled water is much in demand by residents -
even though the businesses profiting from the sales are thriving from access to public water sources.
Bottled water fills a void created by government failure to address basic services, Peter Gleick of the Pacific Institute writes in its World Water report. "In many parts of the world, tap water is notavailable or safe to drink," writes . "In these regions, the failure of governments to provide basicwater services has opened the door to private companies and vendors filling a critical need, albeit ata very high cost to consumers." The institute reasons that governments should tap into spending oncommercial water by consumers to secure funds to provide safe water at fraction of the cost.
Gigi Kellett, US national director of the Think Outside the Bottle campaign, argues that demand for bottled water is due to industry creating "a market by casting doubt on the quality of tap water,when in fact bottled water is subject to far less scrutiny and often comes from the same source".
2.4.7 Bottled Water: How Safe?
The bottled water industry has spent billions over the past decade to sell you on the idea thatbottled water is better than tap water. Well the short answer is they are both unhealthy. One of themost ironic parts of the bottled water tragedy is that the water bottling industry gets the water free, filters it, bottles it and sells it back to us at 1,900% profit. The ironic part is that tap water islegislated to be 7.0 pH neutral. They first dump a TON of cholrine in the water to kill off all thebad bacteria, this makes it highly acidic.
In India around 100 companies sell an estimated 424 million litres of bottled water valued ataround Rs 200 crore in the country annually . Most bottlers claim that their water is 100 per centbacteria-free and contains minerals that make it tastier and healthier. But is the water in thesebottles really safe to drink?

To find out, the Ahmedabad-based Consumer Education and Research Society (CERS), anindependent non-profit institution with a sophisticated product-testing laboratory, recently carriedout a detailed study on 13 major brands of bottled water available in the country. The nationalbrands -- Bisleri (separate samples were taken from their units in Bangalore, Ghaziabad, Calcuttaand Baroda) and Bailley (Mumbai and Surat) -- were selected on the basis of their dominantposition in the overall market. Bisil (Mehsana), Golden Eagle (Chennai), Aquaspa
(Mumbai),Saiganga (Ahmednagar), Nirantar (Thane), Trupthi (Chennai) and Yes (Nadiad) wereincluded because of their regional popularity. To conform to international standards for suchtesting, 21 bottles of each brand were tested in the CERS laboratory against "analytical" and"sensory" parameters as well as for "microbiological" contamination.
To ensure fairness, the results were sent to the individual companies for their comments.So how safe is bottled water? Not that safe, says the CERS survey. As many as 10 of the 13brands had foreign floating objects in clear violation of norms. None of the brands tested was freefrom bacteria although the consolation is that they were not of the harmful kind. Two of the bigbrands contained toxic heavy metals much higher than permitted levels. The term "mineral water"is misleading because our laws do not stipulate the minimum mineral content level required for
water to be labeled as such. All this from a sector that is flourishing because of the public fear thatwater supplied by civic bodies is impure
2.4.8 Analysis of Indian Package Drinking Water Industry
Strength:
Bottling industry gets water free. Low operational cost Presence of established distribution network in both urban and rural areas. Presence of well- known brand in Package Drinking Water Industry
Weakness
Local brands are not able to maintain water parameters recommended for drinking High cost to consumer Traditional Indian methods of cooling and purifying water Plastic bottles pollution.
Opportunities
Untapped urban and rural market Large domestic market a population of over 1.2 billion Increasing business opportunities for others
Threats
Tax and regulatory structure Very less demand in rural sector.

About purity process we can say that the source water is tested in microbiology before processing
(purifying) and after purifying. The process starts with the storage of raw water with chlorine dosing
which is necessary for reducing of microorganism like algae and fungus from water. Also made
h2so4 (sulphuric acid) dosing for adjusting PH. Then it passes through sand filter to remove
suspended particles then it passes through carbon filter which helps in removing chlorine, sediments
and volatile organic compounds from water. Typical particle size that can be removed by carbon
filters range from 0.5 to 50 micrometers. Then it goes through reverse osmosis plant, where it passes
through several vessel to maintain other parameters of water like taste and TDS (total dissolve solid).
Then it passes through blending tank or machine, followed by ultra violet which helps to kill germs
from water and finally it passes through ozone generator. It is a colorless gas that has an odor similar
to the smell of the air after a major thunderstorm. Ozone has greater disinfection effectiveness
against bacteria and viruses compared to chlorination. Due to the ozone generator using life of water
increases.

3.1 Research Methodology
The advanced learner dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as a ³careful
investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.´
Readman and Mory defines research as ³ A systematized effort to gain new knowledge.´
The project was to involve a detail study of the market based on the consumers. The market available
for the study were distributer retail shops ,hotels and clubs. For estimating the market potential,
satisfaction and our own brand¶s market share different methods of primary data collection were
employed in the form of questionnaire ,structured and unstructured interviews and methods for
establishing facts about building marketing insights for packaging margins etc, were used .further to
accommodate the additional factors such as competitors present in the market , seasonal factor, and
promotional costs etc while calculating market potential were taken care of. An inter-brand
comparison as well as a brand awareness study to limited extends was also carried away. When
shorted and used properly, the data collection in the field can form the backbone of later marketingcampaigns.
Research Approach:
There are different research approaches and the research instrument that were employed during the
research work. The common research approaches for collecting the primary data are observations,
focus group, surveys and experiments.
In this case , a general survey to gain knowledge about the market, commonly known as the pilot
survey was undertaken where particularly information was gathered with respect to the brands,
people¶s / retailer¶s /consumer¶s perception so that it serves as a foundation to prepare the
questionnaire for collecting primary data and that it helps in deciding other methods to be adopted
which may be useful in gathering the necessary information.
Research Instruments
Marketing research have a choice of two main research instruments in collecting primary data ±
questionnaire and mechanical devices . mechanical devices are used frequently in marketing research
. It hold no relevance for this study and thus only questionnaire was used.

KINGFISHER PREMIUM(PACKAGE DRINKING WATER)

A questionnaire consists of set of questions presented to respondent for their answers .Because of its
flexibility, the questionnaire by far the most common instrument used to collect he primary data
questionnaire had to be carefully developed , tested and debugged before they are administered on
large scale . in preparing a questionnaire , the professional marketing
Researcher carefully chooses the question and their form, wording and sequence. in addition, the
form of question can influence the response. Marketing researchers distinguish between open end
questions and closed questions. Closed end questions pre-specify all possible answers and
respondents make choice among them. Open end questions allow respondents to answer in their own
words. open ±end questions often reveal more because they do not constrain respondents answers.
In this case too, questionnaire method was followed to collect primary data with respect to project
which was finally implemented after pre testing closed end, multiple choice questions were followedafter pre testing and closed end multiple choice questions were used to take minimum time of the
respondents.
DEALERS/RETAILERS QUESTIONNAIRE:
This questionnaire was designed for various retailers and dealers, which pass on the goods to the
ultimate consumers.
CONTACT METHODS:
Once the sampling plan has been determined, the marketing researcher must decide how the subject
should be contacted. The choices are mail, telephone, or personal interview. Telephone could be an
effective medium for getting a firsthand information.
For the purpose of market survey. I designed the research based on primary data. For the collection of
primary data I designed the structured questionnaire will use the method of direct interview.
Secondary data is used to supplement the primary research and in terms of capacity and profile of
package drinking water industry. Method was adopted to collect the data related to the study.

3.2 How it was done:
1. Research problem for the present study:-
Analyzing market of kingfisher drinking water and soda in Pune city.
2. The research plan: -
The research plan designed for gathering the needed information. designing research
plan calls for definitions on the information sources, research approach, research
instruments, sampling plan, contact method.
3. Data source: -
The plan calls for gathering primary as well as secondary data. Secondary data already
exists, having been collected foe some other purpose, while primary data consist of
original information collected for specific purpose.
Primary data:
In order to have first hand information to know the perception, preference and liking
of the retailers / dealers visiting various retail shops. All these persons are also
interviewed to know their feelings and attitudes about the facilities (margin, discounts)
and the services (promotional and other benefits) that the company people provide
them.
Secondary data:
For the project were collected from:
1. Various publications on related subject.
2. Various publications on area of work.
3. Newspapers, journals & business magazines and also from Internet.

sample.
3. Select the data collection method
Survey research, information directly from respondent¶s shops.
4. Select the measurement technique
Questionnaire, instrument for asking information directly from a respondent¶s on the basis of
question asked by the interviewer.
5. Select the sample
Population, sample frame, sampling unit t, sampling unit, sampling method(non-probability),sample size, sample plan, and execution.
6. Select the analytical approach
Data analysis involves converting a series of recorded observations into descriptive statement.
7. Evaluate the ethics of research
Ethically sound research considers the interest of the general public, the respondents, the
clients, the research profession as well as those of researcher.
8. Estimate the time and financial cost
Time refers to time needed to complete the project. The financial requirement is the monetary
representation of personal time.

3.4 Research plan:
1. Area:
Since my research was pertaining to package drinking water and soda in retail outlets
in Pune city. There for all composite shops were included in my research.
2. Sample size:
My sample size was about 326 retail shops in Pune city.
3. Respondents:
I visited once at least every counter of the respective areas. My respondents were the
owner of the shops, salesman and purchase managers of different outlets.
4. Method of collection:
For collection of data I adopted questionnaire method. For the purpose I prepared a
questionnaire and went to the respondents. My research was related to packaged
drinking water trade, so at some places I faced a lot of problems in collection of data,
so I opted to adapt to interview method with respondents directly a make them feeleasy. For appointment I used telephone and asked for his permission.

3.5 Limitations of the study
While doing survey I found some limitations. The limitations I faced are given as under:
1) The study area restricted to only Pune city.
2) The project was to be completed within two months of time therefore the respondent could not
be studied in detail.
3) As the data were collected in one month of June and July the result could not be consistent for
the whole year.
4) The project is done in Pune city and therefore the findings may not be applicable to others city
or region.
5) For data collection from the market is very difficult because that person is very much busy in
their work so it is very difficult to an appointment.

5.1 FINDINGS
Kingfishers having very good impression in market because of other product like kingfisher beer,
kingfisher airlines, and kingfisher fertilizers but not in the kingfisher package drinking water and
soda.
Kingfisher is not directly involved in producing of package drinking water and soda, his franchises
companyµs Iceberg food is doing this and using kingfisher logo therefore they may not be maintainingthe quality of product.
Though production and marketing of kingfisher package drinking water and soda is done by iceberg
food ltd. They are not giving attention for promotional scheme and more on advertising.
5.2 Finding from distributors interview.
Most of the distributers are new in this field and also having other business to do, they
kept it as a side business. Therefore they are not able to concentrate.

5.4 Suggestion;-
They should appoint an inspection team those who can visit the manufacturing plant and
check quality of product time to time.
Company employees should regularly contact to distributers as well as retailers and also
provide special training to distributor so that they can come up faster with delivery to retailers.
Company should offer more promotional scheme to increase their sale.
Company should always inform about the promotional scheme to the retailer and also take up
to date from retailers whether the distributors are providing promotional scheme to them or
not.
Company should improve on their supply which is not meeting required level.
Appoint distributors who already been in that line for many years.
They must do some television advertisements.
Company should provide promotional scheme like.
Selling of amount A Box will give free amount of B Box .
Selling of amount A box will give free ticket to different holy places like Siridi.,
Rameswaram, Tirupati balaji etc.

CONCLUSION
While concluding this, I agree that sales promotion activities help to increase the sales of the
company.
Kingfisher is carrying out different sales promotion activities like, special schemes to delight
the customers, promotion through providing retailer POP etc. and they are getting positive
response for their sales promotion activities. But these activities are not carrying for packaged
drinking water, like bisleri is doing.
Kingfisher packaged drinking water is not present all over India, so company can easily go for
other states in order to tap the large un represented market.
Kingfisher is not directly involved in production of package drinking water & soda, hisfranchisee company¶s are doing this & using kingfisher logo. So due to money they are not able
to promote the product all over India as others are doing.
Manufacturing is also not centralizing. Therefore they are not able to maintain the same quality
in terms of water taste as well as bottle quality
From these studies it was found that there is an increase in sale. But they need to do hard work
to become market leader.
Kingfisher (PDW&SODA) customers and retailers are not fully satisfied with all the facilitiesprovide by kingfisher, except the brand name which is blinking in the mind of customers.
