INTRODUCTION

Products which have a quick turnover, and relatively low cost are known as Fast Moving

Consumer Goods (FMCG). FMCG products are those that get replaced within a year,

examples of FMCG generally include a wide range of frequently purchased consumerproducts such as toiletries, soap, cosmetics, beverages, tooth cleaning products,

shaving products and detergents, as well as other non-durables such as glassware,

bulbs, batteries, paper products, and plastic goods.

Types of trade deal by (FMCG) company.

GENERAL TRADE.

MORDEN TRADE.

INSTITUTIONAL SALES.

HORECA.

According to this project the study covers on institutional trade.

Institutional Sales

The institutional market consists of Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, Nursing homes, IT

companies, Air lines, Railways and other institutions that provide goods and services to

people in their care .Institutions differ from one another in their sponsors and their

objectives. These markets are also giving opportunity to sell huge amount of product to

few customer. Thus its reducing labor as well as delivering cost .Each institution has

different buying needs and resources. According to my work point of view the company

given to me institutional selling at various College and IT Company in Hyderabad.

According to the above statement each institution has different buying needs. Forexample, College Student have little choice but to eat whatever food the College

supplies. A College purchasing has to be deciding on the quality of food to buy for

student. Because the food is provide a part of total service package .If student receiving

poor quality of food will complain to other and damage college reputation. Thus the


10/81

college purchasing department must search for institutional food vendor whose quality

meets or exceeds a certain minimum standard.

Brand visibility.

Brand availability and sku availability. New account opening.

The companies will always tries to enfold certain visionary thoughts of a product or

services. Though it is very difficult to envisage the practical measures of the company

and gradually dismantling the process of improvement in its field.

The product visibility plays a greater role to increase the sales of the company. The

visibility will always allocate the manifestation of the products and increase the

percentage of share through its point of sales materials such as wobblers, posters,

stickers and also arranging the products in a right way.

There are different eye levels of people starting from children to old age people and

thereby making arranging the products in right manner. So as to attract the customers

through its arranging the products.

In an organization, the company will always tend to

follow the visual marketing. So as to attracts the customers and make as marketers tothink beyond their limits and captivated the systematic approach of the business.

The Parle Agro will always grab the majority of share in the market. As this Parle Agro

is a brand and thus will tend to improve its market share in day to day basis and thus

the Brand visibility is must to improve the sales.

Brand availability and SKU availability:

Brand availability also plays a vital role for increase the sales performance of the

company . Brand availability helps the company like

If the brand is available on the store its create a positive impact to the company

It cant give the chance to customer for switching the brand

A stock-keeping unit (SKU) is a unique number which is used to identify a billable item

in a company's inventory. Using SKU numbers, companies can keep track of the

quantities they have in inventory, and they can manage inventory effectively with the

use of computerized systems, rather than having to keep track of everything by hand.

SKUs are usually unique to the companies where they are used, which means that anidentical product can have different SKUs if it is handled and sold by different

companies are make different types of sku for a product . Because to meet the

customer want at different time. The different different store are also willing to keep

different sku of that product . If all the sku is available in the store then definitely he can

meet the customer want of different sku. Thats why now a days every company give

special type of focus on sku for how to avail in all store.

New account opening:

Here new account opening means add new institution to our company. Every company

always try to opening new account . Because its helps in achieving high market share

and increase the company image. According this project I was able to crate 80 new

accounts to the company.

LITERATUREREVIEW

What Is an Institution?

What do you think of when you think of an institution?

1. A mental hospital

2. Correctional facility

3. Dormitory

4. Cafeteria food5. An elephant in the room?

Institutions today are a lot more exciting than they were decades ago! If you take a

close look, you will see just how dramatic the transformation has been.

Healthcare is evolving continuously. Hospitals are no longer cinder blocks, tile floors

and pale green paint-they are now on the leading edge in architectural design and the

services they provide. Many medical clinics have high-tech systems that enable the staff

to share and/or access your medical records from anywhere in the country.

Churches that were previously stern and imposing structures have morphed into

neighborhood gathering places where people can enjoy Starbucks or Subway while

they visit with fellow parishioners. Organ recitals have been replaced with rock music,

steeples can house cell phone towers, and the dividing line between sacred and secular

is often blurred College students can choose to take classes on-site or online. They

have bookstores filled with logo apparel, school supplies, electronic equipment, and

gourmet coffee and food offerings. College students 40 years ago had bookstores filled

with -- books. Dormitories were sparse and primitive compared to residence halls today

that provide refrigerators, microwaves, lounges, and private baths.

If you think of an "elephant in the room" when you think of the institutional market,

you're not alone. In many ways, the institutional market is the elephant in the B2B

room. Marketers have known for decades that certain service and administration SIC


15/81

15

codes produce good results but we are just now learning how big and desirable B2i has

become and, more importantly, how to talk about it.

From a B2B marketer's view, institutions are scattered around the SIC spectrum which

makes it difficult to see them as a whole segment. While SIC codes haven't changed

much since they were created in the 1930s, institutions have grown dramatically. When

SICs were established, institutions were tiny slivers within the B2B pie. Today, they

have grown to the point that they represent mammoth opportunities and deserve your

attention.

Once you understand the B2i market, you will probably experience information

overload. The elephant becomes visible. You'll see it in news articles, business reports,

CEO interviews, and special interest TV and newspaper segments that are devoted to

the significant aspects of the institutional market. The reports, however, rarely identifyB2i as a whole or call it by name.

Institutions and Businesses Are Different

Institutions don't buy like businesses, don't act like businesses, and can't be segmented

like businesses. You cannot expect to use the same strategies to reach influencers in

the institutional market as you have used to reach decision makers in the B2B world.When you get under the surface, you will see the differences and how they should

impact your pitch and marketing plans.

The chart below provides a very basic view of the differences between businesses and

institutions:


16/81

16

There are three major groups of institutions. While some institutions are clearlymembers of only one of the major groups, other types of institutions can belong to

multiple groups making it even more important to examine the differences

1. Government offices and government-funded entities include parks and

recreation departments, police and fire departments, and public schools.

2. Private, not-for-profit organizations that are purpose driven include hospitals,

nursing homes, churches, and private schools, Govt School, among others.

3. For-profit organizations that are purpose driven include doctors, dentists, and

the 16% of U.S. hospitals that are for-profit.

When you pay attention to the fundamental differences between businesses and

institutions, you can modify your marketing plans and optimize your success in the B2i

space.

The Institutional Market Is Big And Growing

If institutions could be placed in a single SIC category, you would see that in 2005

spending in the B2i segment was $4.1 trillion-approximately one-third of GDP. Given the

incredible size of the segment, you're probably wondering why you haven't read or

heard about it. The fact of the matter is that the purpose-driven economy is invisible or


17/81

17

obscured in government data; non-profit organizations don't pay taxes and many of

them aren't required to file forms with the IRS.

Look at the following examples of institutional growth and think about the bottom-line

benefit of focusing on the institutional market.

Healthcare has grown from 5% of GDP in the 1950s to 16% today.

The title of the September 25, 2006 BusinessWeekcover story drives home the

point that the healthcare segment is exploding: "What's Really Propping up the

Economy-Health care has added 1.7 million jobs since 2001. The rest of the

private sector? None."

City and County Government budgets can be equivalent to Fortune 1000

companies.Johnson & Johnson (#32) and the City of New York each control $50 billion

budgets. Master Card (#626) and Cook County, IL are each responsible for $2.9

billion annually.

Total education funding has increased substantially in recent years at all

levels of government, even when accounting for enrollment increases and

inflation.

By the end of the 2004-05 school year, national K-12 education spending had

increased an estimated 105% since 1991-92. On a per-pupil basis and adjusted

for inflation, public school funding increased 24% from 1991-92 through 2001-02.

The total revenue of religious organizations in 1996 was $81.2 billion.

While it's difficult to find solid revenue data regarding religious organizations,

growth of mega-churches and faith-based initiatives over the past decade has

certainly contributed to making religion a multibillion-dollar market.

When you consider the fact that institutions have grown twice as fast as businesses

over the past 50 years, the B2i segment becomes very attractive. The pay-offs to

investing more of your attention to capturing B2i customers are increased profit and

improved lifetime value.


18/81


19/81

When arranged properly, the numbers clearly show that the distribution of SIC codes

has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the B2i market. Note that institutions employ

28.3% of the workforce, but have only been allotted 7.4% of the total number of SIC

codes!

Those relatively few SIC categories, however, add up to a very large marketplace. The

B2i sector includes 2.2 million locations that employ 37 million people. The true size

advantage of institutions is shown in the number of employees per location. The

average institution has 16.7 employees, nearly double the amount of the average

business (8.5). Organizations with more employees have greater purchasing needs to

support the activities of their staff, so the typical institution customer is twice as

desirable as its business counterpart. Institutions are indeed good, large potential

customers, and there are lots of them.

Many people are surprised that institutions such as hospitals, schools, and government

offices are now the biggest employers in most cities and towns across the U.S. The

continuing shift in the U.S. economy, which is often reported as a shift to "service-


20/81

20

based" or "information-based" businesses, could arguably be better stated as a shift

toward an "institution-based" economy.

For example, manufacturing jobs in Chicago dropped 26.3% from 1995 to 2005 while

employment in the advanced services sector grew rapidly. Crain's ChicagoBusiness ranked the largest employers in the city for 2005. Six of the top ten employers

are institutions and even more interesting is the fact that those six institutions employed

73% of the total employees in the top-ten list.

What are the implications of the institutional size advantage? Take an

institutional SIC like 8062, general medical and surgical hospitals. According to D&B

there are 13,468 locations with an average of 297 employees per location. This

compares to just 10 employees on average for all organizations in the B2B database.

When reviewing your customer file through the SIC lens, you might see that 8062 is a

strong performer. But is it 30 times stronger? If not, one conclusion might be that 8062

is under-marketed in your current strategy.

You should review your customer file to make sure you're capitalizing on the largest

organizations with the largest budgets. If institutional customers aren't buying more than

your business customers, you may need to shift your focus toward the B2i employers.

Institutions Are More Stable Than Businesses:

One of the key reasons stability is important is that acquisition costs are lower when you

don't have a customer file prone to constant churn. It is much more economical to mail

to the same customer year after year than it is to try and find new customers to replace

customers who have ceased doing business. An interesting way to examine the

stability/volatility contrast between businesses and institutions is to think about the

number of Fortune 500 businesses over the past 50 years that are no longer in

existence today.

Businesses:

Bethlehem Steel was #12 on the Fortune 500 list in 1955 but no longer exists

today. Enron first appeared on the Fortune 500 list in 1995 with revenues of $8.9 billion

and filed for bankruptcy just 6 years later.

Institutions:

Harvard University was established in 1636 and now has a $29 billion

endowment.

New York Hospital was founded in 1771 and now has a multibillion-dollar budget.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, mass layoffs impacted 3.6 million workers

from 1999 through 2001. The industry breakdown shows that 80% of the layoffs

occurred in the business sector:


22/81

22

Institutions Are Recession Resistant

Institutions are funded through taxes and other revenue sources that are not impacted

by dramatic short-term fluctuations in the economy. If your customer file contains a high

number of institutions, your revenue gains and losses will be similarly stable. If your

customer file contains a high number of businesses, the peaks and valleys will be much

steeper. Think about the dotcom era and how businesses spent exorbitant sums of

money to acquire talent, decorate offices, and pay bonuses. When the bubble burst, the

economic valley was the equivalent of the Grand Canyon. A good way to contrast

businesses and institutions during that time period is to think of the tortoise and the

hare-institutions grew, but at a steady and almost predictable rate, and in the long run,

won the race.

The institutional market is a good sector during both strong and soft economic cycles.

People need the services provided by government offices, hospitals, and schools

regardless of the economic climate. Even if institutions have to cut programs and

services during a soft economic period, they still need to function on a daily basis, i.e.,

they still need office supplies, computer equipment, janitorial supplies, and they still

need to provide basic services like police and fire protection to the public.

Institutions Are Creditworthy

When was the last time you turned an institution over to a collection agency?

Creditworthiness is not an issue when dealing with most institutions because:

Institutions cannot spend money unless it is appropriated. In other words, they

can't spend money they don't have.

Purchase orders cannot be released unless there are funds in the bank.

Businesses can often be a credit risk because revenue disbursements are made at thediscretion of the business owner or manager. In the institutional space, the money can't

be spent if it hasn't been appropriated. The minute a purchase order is issued, the funds

are encumbered so they can't be used for a different purpose. Although many marketers

say the purchase order process is time-consuming and laden with details, the benefit of


23/81

23

knowing you will be paid for a product or service is well worth the effort. In addition, the

financial stability and lower acquisition costs make B2i customers a very attractive

segment.

When Should You Mail To Institutions?

Timing is a critical element in B2i campaigns. In fact, it is so important that choosing

when to mail will directly impact how successful you will be.

Most of us would enjoy having the resources to conduct year-round campaigns. While

it's true that some level of discretionary purchasing occurs on a year-round basis in

institutions, there are also extremely time-sensitive opportunities. For example, in non-

profit and government-funded organizations, fiscal year-end dates and budgets have a

significant impact on purchasing decisions.

For most non-profit organizations, the months near the end of one fiscal year and

beginning of the next are the critical budgeting and purchasing period. Your product and

service offerings need to be in the hands of purchasing influencers at the time they are

discussing budgets for the upcoming year. Likewise, capitalizing on "clean-up" spending

prior to the end of a fiscal year is equally beneficial. Clean-up spending means using left

over budgeted funds before the end of a fiscal year to avoid losing them.

A key contrast between institutions and businesses is the difference between public and

private accounting standards:

In businesses (private institutions), managers are incentivized to reduce costs to

maximize profits.

In public institutions, managers are incentivized to spend their entire budgets.

If a department doesn't spend all of the money allocated to it by the end of the fiscal

year, the money is returned to the general budget and the department's budget for thenext year may be reduced. Selecting drop dates that correspond with your customers'

discretionary and clean-up spending timeframes will help you maximize profitability and

increase response rates.


24/81

Finding The Decision Maker In Institutions

Identifying the decision maker at an institution can be a difficult task because in many

institutional settings, the decision maker collaborates with others prior to making the

commitment to buy. A sole decision maker is more likely to exist in the business arena

and it's much easier to identify that person and/or their title. This is one area where you

need to think about your audience and be especially careful about business title

addressing. Sometimes job titles don't accurately describe the job function. For

example, the Materials Manager at a hospital who has more influence than the

Purchasing Director. The Materials Manager is responsible for deciding what to buy

while the Purchasing Director is responsible for monitoring the actual transaction, i.e.

purchasing process. Likewise, an Acquisition Librarian doesn't actually "acquire"

anything-that person is responsible for making sure the orders are processed correctly.In the institution market, you need to know whom you are targeting. If you approach the

institution file with the strategies you use in reaching traditional B2B decision makers,

you may miss some terrific candidates.

Businesses and institutions also have significantly different operating infrastructures and

the organizational chart can be an important tool in helping you understand reporting

structures and identifying key decision makers. It's interesting to note that even the

training for leadership positions is different between businesses and institutions. Thevast majority of college graduates who are interested in a "business" career will pursue

a Masters of Business Administration degree. Students interested in an institutional

leadership position will enroll in programs such as Master of Public Administration,

Master of Theology, Master of Education, or Medical Doctor.

Businesses have CEOs, Presidents, and COOs while institutions' leaders may be called

Mayor, Governor, Superintendent, Principal, Director, Manager, City Administrator, or

Pastor. The ability to select the appropriate decision maker by job title can have a hugeimpact on response rates and the success of a mailing campaign. In some cases,

mailing to multiple job titles may help your message reach the right person at the right

time in the budgeting and allocation cycle.

Conclusion

Think about the traits you would like your ideal customer to have:

larger than average

unlikely to go out of business

always pays its bills

buys more each year

not subject to big economic swings.

When you combine these traits, you have essentially defined an institution.

While B2i is certainly the elephant in the B2B room, this stealth growth market now

spends $4.1 trillion annually making it a very, very lucrative market. The purpose-driven

economy of institutions has evolved from small slivers of the SIC world into much larger

pieces of the pie. It is worth the time and effort to learn about both the subtle and

dramatic differences between businesses and institutions. By developing marketing

plans strategically focused on the institution market, you can improve your profits,

response rates, and the lifetime value of your customers.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Industry:

FMCG are products that have a quick shelf turnover, at relatively low cost and

don't require a lot of thought, time and financial investment to purchase.

Fast Moving is in opposition to consumer durables such as kitchen appliances

that are generally replaced less than once a year. Three of the largest and best known examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods

companies are Nestl, Unilever and Procter & Gamble.

The Indian FMCG sector is an important contributor to the country's GDP. It is

the fourth largest sector in the economy and is responsible for 5% of the total

factory employment in India .

This has been due to liberalization, urbanization, increase in the disposable

incomes and altered lifestyle.

The lower-middle income group accounts for over 60% of the sector's sales. Rural

markets account for 56% of the total domestic FMCG demand.

FMCG Evolution:

1950s-80 Low Investment in the sector.

Low purchasing power.

Govts emphasis on small scale sector.

HLL and other companys urbane focus.

Post liberalization.

Entry of MNCs.

Focus shifted to getting to rural consumer first Others, like Nestle, remained with

the urban population Latest fad to hit the market is the sachet bug.

FMCG SECTOR:

Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) goods are popularly named as consumer

packaged goods. Items in this category include all consumables (other than

groceries/pulses) people buy at regular intervals. The most common in the listeria toilet

soaps, detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, shaving products, shoe polish, packaged

foodstuff, and household accessories and extends to certain electronic goods. These

items are meant for daily of frequent consumption andhave high return. A major portion

of the monthly budget of each household is reserved for FMCG products. The volume of

money circulated in the economy against FMCG products is very high.

Industry category and products:

Household Care

Personal Wash:-

The market size of personal wash is estimated to be around Rs. 8,300 Cr. The personal

wash can be segregated into three segments: Premium, Economy and Popular. The

which, 75 per cent are in the rural areas. HUL is the leader with market share of ~53 per

cent; Godrej occupies second position with market share of ~10 per cent. With increase

in disposable incomes, growth in rural demand is expected to increase because

consumers are moving up towards premium products. However, in the recent past there

has not been much change in the volume of premium soaps in proportion to economysoaps, because increase in prices has led some consumers to look for cheaper

substitutes. Hindustan Unilever Lim-ited is the biggest pro-ducer of Personal wash and

detergents. The segment is expected to grow by double digit.


28/81

28

Detergents:-

The size of the detergent market is estimated to be Rs. 12,000 Cr. Household care

position with market share of around ~23 per cent. Antidandruff segment constitutes

around 15 per cent of the total shampoo market. The market is further expected to


29/81

29

increase due to increased marketing by players and availability of shampoos in

affordable sachets.

It is the flagship brand of Parle agro. It was introduced in 1985 and it was the first Fruit

Drink to be introduced in India. Mango - Indias national and most premium fruit was a

virtually untapped segment until the year 1985, which saw the launch of Frooti Mango in

a trendy convenient tetra-pack. Frooti Mango is Parle Agro flagship brand and Indias

leading fruit drink with a 75% market share. Now, Frooti also comes in PET bottle

packing. Frooti is like an Indian ambassador and is a hot favorite not only in India but all

across the world. Frooti is the first tetra pack fruit juice in India. Launched in 1984,

Frooti still holds a dominant position in the Rs300 crore tetra pack fruit juice (TFJ)

market. Frooti over these years have carved out a niche for itself in the market.

Changes in tag line over the years

Mango Frooti, Fresh n Juicy has remained the base tagline since the brand launch. In

between, the brand has used new taglines such as

Frooti - Just like that

Fresh and juicy! What a beauty! Mango Frooti!

Juice up your Life

Accepting that Frooti would perhaps always be identified as Fresh and juicy, Frooti

packs currently incorporate the decades-old tagline, with a minor change, saying,

Fresh N Juicy Mango. Even the ad plays the jingle towards the end. But Frooti brand

communication is based around the theme of Why grow up.
