NARTD Non-Alcoholic Ready to drink market can be divided into fruit drinks & soft drinks. The soft drinks can be further divided into carbonated and non-carbonated drinks. Mango drinks come under non-carbonated category and carbonated drinks comprises of cola, lemon and orange flavor drinks.
The soft drinks till early 1990s were in the hands of domestic players like Campa, Thumps-up, Limca, etc. But with the opening up of economy & coming of MNC players Pepsi & Coco-Cola the market has come totally under their control, Pepsi entered in Indian market in 1991.Coke re-entered in1993.
The growth of soft drinks in India is very high compared to other countries. The annual growth rate has been observed as around 10%.So this attracted the attention of world leading market players a lot. Before the entry of Pepsi in India the market share of Coco- Cola was 80%, but with the entry of Pepsi its market share has decreased by 10%.
Major players in Soft Drinks Industry:

Other Players
Besides these established manufactures there are more than 200 units of independent manufactures of soft drink industry. They constitute very small market share around 4% of the entire soft drink industry.
STRONG GROWTH FORECAST IN SOFT DRTINKS:
The total of-trade volume of soft drinks is forecast to grow by a compounded average of 11% over the forecast period. Total value growth is expected to track volume growth closely because intensifying competition in carbonates, which dominate in both total volume and value sales, is expected to keep prices per liter under check.
However, 100% Juice is forecast to experience price per liter increases as the pitch on the health platform is expected to enable manufactures to keep their products relatively price-intensive. With increases expected in tourism, distribution and a changing lifestyle, bottled water is the one to watch in the forecast period, with an expected CAGR OF 15% in off-trade volume sales growth.

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 America 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.
DESIGNING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN :
An advertising is an organized series of advertising messages. It has been defined as "a planned, co-ordinate series of promotional efforts built around a central theme and designed to reach a specified goals." In other words, it is an orderly planned effort consisting of related but self contained and independent advertisements. The campaign may appear in one more media . it has single theme or keynote idea and a single objective or goal. Thus, "a unified theme of content provides psychological continuity throughout the campaign while visual and oral similarity provide physical continuity. In short run, all campaign want pre-determined psychological reaction in the long run, practically all campaigns have sales goal.
The series of advertisements used in the campaign must be integrated with the sales promotional efforts and with the activities of the sales force.
Campaign vary in length some may run only for a few days, other for weeks, yet other for a season or the entire year. Usually a range of 3 to 6 months includes many campaigns. Many factors influences campaign length such as competitors advertising media, policies, seasonal falls curves of the product involved, the size of the advertising funds, campaign objectives and the nature of the advertisers marketing programme.

Developing the campaign programmes. The advertising campaigns are prepared by the advertising agencies, which work an behalf of their clients who manufacture product or service enterprises, which have services to sell. The word campaign is used because advertising agencies approach their task with a sum Blanca of military fanfare in which one frequently hears words like target audience logistics, zero in and tactics and strategy etc.
The account executive co-ordinates the work in a campaign. The creation of an advertising campaign starts with an exploration of consumers habits and psychology in relation to the product. This requires the services of statistical trained in survey techniques and of others trained in social psychology. Statisticians select samples for survey which are done by trained interviewers who visits individuals, included in the sample and ask question to find out about their taste and habits.
This enquiry often leads to a change in a familiar product. For instance bathing soap may come in several new colours or cigarette in a new packet or talcum powder in another size.
Such interviews are often quite essential to find out the appeal of advertising message for a product that would be most effective with consumers.
David Ogilvy describes a consumers survey to find out the most meaningful benefit in which women are interested when they buy a face cream. The largest preference as given to "Cleans deep into pores" followed in order of importance by prevent dryness, "is a complete beauty treatment, recommended by skin doctors" makes skin look younger' contains estrogenic hormones, pasteurized for purity, prevent skin form aging, smooth our wrinkles ogilvy concludes, form this voting come one of Helena Rubinstein's most successful face creams. We christened it deep cleanser, thus, building the winning form into name of the product.
