It is purely a combination of different fruits, vegetables and herbs. This gives it a competitive advantage as generally a drink has one or two of them but it is a combination of all in one. Rooh AfzaMohammad Ali Jinnah University There are many beverages in the market which includes carbonated drinks like Pepsi and CocaCola, and juices like Rania, Nestle juices. The direct competitor is-girei-s-hi's, Jam-e , Sheeren, which has even the same colour as Rooh Afza but differs in taS're—a7s compare to Rooh Afza. Pepsi and Coca Cola drinker (youngsters) considers it a Symbol of coolness and say that they really do not have concern if their teeth's enamel gets rotten as they will brush well after use. The drinkers get addictive to drinking and do not consider any drink to the mark of carbonated drink. The availability of these products is mare in (urban areas) cities and fake drinks (resembling them) are sold in rural area. The Nestle juices considered good in quality because of being A NESTLE product (name of quality) and are available in ready to drink form. The Rania juice imported from abroad also make us realize that uniqueness does counts, having chunks to prove the purity helps a lot. Although it has not captured great market (may be due to lack of availability) but who knows may be the consumers makes it big. The powdered form drinks like SunSip Limo (Lemon) Pani and Tang also is a competitor. The example of Limo Pani tells us that the people are so busy with their lives that even they can not make home drink by their selves, so this gap has been filled by Limo Pani. 8 SWOT ANALYSIS A popular summer drink that quenches thirst, maintains the water-electrolyte balance, and acts as an instant source of energy for the body. It is a type of UNANI medicine which has zero side effects. It acts as a coolant and enhances resistance towards diseases. It is recommended by some doctors for weak and old people. Weaknesses: Company's inability to maintain sales varying with seasons e.g. low sale of Rooh Afzaln,winters. '3,_hreats)f , Seasonal variations in sales CompetitorsAr C. Ever changing customer preferences like, now customers ask for convenience The biggest threat for Rooh Afza has always been the competitors in the industry.Prices and the inflation rate is increasing day by day , this reduces the purchasingpower of the customer and the lower income groups could find it difficult to afford Rooh Afza which would directly leave a negative impact on the revenue.Opportunities:As Rooh Afza is inexpensive compared to other beverages, it can generate huge demand and the revenue accordingly.Population is increasing by a considerable rate per year, giving us another opportunity to increase the market share.Rooh Afza has a supreme brand image in people's mind, it can go for line extension and enter the category of pure juices and milk for instance.1ALcrkevAvv-EThreats:Ever changing external environment.

Rooh AfthMohammad Ali JimzahRESEARCH ANALYSIS Methodology: We have done research on Rooh Afza, and the method we have used is of Questionnaire and face to face interview with the retailers and customers.The sample size we took is 100 for the consumers.25 questionnaire were filled by male students having age in between 20 to 25, and the other 25 questionnaire were filled by 25 female students having age in between 19 to 24. The remaining 50 were filled by the random age group people, including office workers and old age people (men and women). The product Rooh Afza is for the masses that's why we tried to get the opinion from different age group, so that we can better analyze about the brand and its usage. Customer Analysis: Customer Satisfaction Criteria: Our research shows that 100% people are aware of the brand Rooh Afza which is a good sign. Majority of the people likes to drink it and usually buy once in a month. As far as availability is concerned it is easily available to the consumers. From the survey it is found that it is consumed more in the Holy month of Ramadan.95% of the customers are satisfied with the quantity, size, price and quality of the product. If in case Rooh Afza is not avalaible, then consumers 2nd option is to purchase Jam-eshireen, Naurus, and Tang. Except few, almost all the consumers are satisfied with the taste and colour of Rooh Afza. Customer Dissatisfaction Criteria: As the market is becoming competitive and consumer's preferences are changing day by day, therefore it is important to meet customer requirements. Majority of the people showed dissatisfaction in packaging. They think that there is a need to change the packaging. It should be made attractive. They also suggested that this is the oldest product and to remain competitive in the market it should advertise. Issues faced by Customers: Packaging Demand of different flavors More nutritious elements Lack of advertisement Availability of readymade bottles 0 Because of high sweetness some people avoid to drink it Retailers Analysis: In order to get a clear idea about the product from reatiler's perspective we visted 10 Retailers who are located in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulihistan-e-Johar, Malir Cantt, and P.E.C.H.S respectively. The shops which we visited were Pakistan Super Rice and Medical Store, Blessings, Saima Discount Centre, AD Mart, CSD and so on. In the sharbat category we found that Rooh afza is normally preferred by the consumers. Its main competitors are Jaam-e-Shireen and Naurus.The price at which they sale the large size bottle i.e. 1500 ml ranges between Rs175 — Rs180,and the price of small size bottle i.e. 850m1 ranges between Rs 92 — Rs 95 respectively. Comission which they got on large size bottle is 5 Rs per bottle, and on small size bottle they got only 2 — 3 Rs per bottle. Only few retailer's are satisfied with the commission while other's are not. They manage inventory by keeping the stock in the warehouse, especially in the Holy month of Ramadan and in summer season demand increases and they need to keep more stock as compare to other season. Retailer's told that this product is mostly sold in Ramadan and in summer season. They themselves also prefer to drink Rooh Afza. We have analyzed that few shops have displayed Rooh afza very well i.e. it can be easily seen as the customer enters the shop, whereas in few shops it is found that it is not displayed properly i.e cannot be seen easily by the customers. Consumer's rarely complaint against the product otherwise they are satisfied. Most of the retailer's were of the view that this product does not need any change, except few who suggested that product always needs improvement. Few of them also suggested that to increase its sales it should be advertised. Issues faced by Retailers: Placement Return on the defective product Availability issue Advertisement Commission Rooh AfzaMohammad Ali Jinnah University16RRECOMMENDED STRATEGIES Image Building Strategy: Rooh Afza has maintained a value of being an energy drink since its invention. It is a natural and original drink that releases those who drink it from stress and frustration. It is a natural energy drink and consumers have taken it to be a drink that can only be consumed at times of being with your family only. We want the consumers of Rooh Afza to remember that this brand is the best energy drink and it can be consumed anywhere and anyhow you want to consume it As Rooh afza is one of the best energy drinks for consumers, so we suggest the organization to build its image in such a way that Rooh afza can be consumed anywhere and anyhow one want to consume it. It's a drink that one can consume at any time during the day and that this product can be consumed in all seasons. Brand Extension Strategy: This brand `Rooh Afza' has been associated with our culture since a very long time; this association would actually help `Rooh Afza' gain a substantial amount of market share as it is present in the market for a fairly long time. It is a drink that knows its consumers better than any other drink as it provides its consumer exactly what he wishes to have. `Rooh Afza' itself would be the brand name. After conducting research we have analyzed that there is a demand for the ready made bottles of Rooh Afza. We would suggest the company to introduce ready made pet bottles of regular flavor and lemon flavor. It should also produce Rooh Afza for Diabetic Patients. Additional falvors should be added including: Alaichi flavor Lemon 'flavor Other nutritions The availability of readymade `Rooh Afza' would help people enjoy their favorite drink whenever and wherever they want to. A readymade bottle of Rooh Afza' would enhance the sale of the brand in comparison to its competitors as `Rooh Afza' would be much cheaper than the competitor's carbonated drinks. Personnel and Distribution Strategy: We would suggest the organization to distribute the product to the wholesalers, retailers, lassi corners, medical and general stores, super stores and the juice centers at the right time.
