All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to
purchase, from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a
successful marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must
also know the time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase,
so that he may store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the
consumers. Gone are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer’s beware
or when the market was mainly the seller’s market. Now the whole concept of
consumer’s sovereignty prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell
whatever the consumer likes. In this sense, “consumer is the supreme in the market”.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or
international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect the
demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the
production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and
success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers
make buying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the
goods they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of any
company or product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration towards
consumer preference.

with Milk, with slogans such as “a glass and half of full cream milk in every half pound.”
And also advertisement which featured a glass of milk pouring out and forming the
Dairy Milk bar. Also the ad campaigns are also the important element of Dairy Milk. It
made chocolate an eating habit among the consumers, especially the adults. Long back
it was a belief that chocolate is only for kids. But Dairy Milk changed this belief. Also
they changed the trend of Sweets (Mithai) during the occasions like Diwali, New Year
etc… Dairy Milk brought a new trend that whether any occasion, Dairy Milk is best for
all. It also gave some famous dialogues from the ads which people remember always.

wait for any occasion. They can just have it. Whether they are happy or Sad, But Dairy

in brand name known for its somewhat negative effect on the manufacturing competency
and brand.
1. Introduction: Sales are slow as the product is not yet known. Costs are high due to
heavy marketing spend to create awareness. Emphasis is on advertising and
distribution. The Cadbury Dairy milk launched by Cadbury in 1905 is an example of
a brand at the introduction stage.
2. Growth: This stage shows growing market acceptance and increasing profits.
Competitors begin to enter the marketplace. The business concentrates on
optimizing product availability. The Cadbury Dairy milk is the market leader
in chocolate market with 30 % market share example of brand at growth
stage.
3. Maturity: The rate of sales growth slows down as the product has been widely
distributed and sold. The company now focuses on creating brand extensions and
promotion offers to boost sales. New product research is critical to ensure future
sales. The Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate range is an example of creating brand
extensions brand at the maturity stage.
4. Decline: Sales slow down dramatically and profits fall off. The product may be
dropped to make way for new products and the cycle recommences. So far CDM
has not reached at this stage because of extension in maturity stage.

QUANTITY
According to the above analysis it is concluded that on an average mostly people are
influenced by flavor/taste followed by quality, packaging and brand. Here color and
shape are not all influencing people while purchasing Cadbury chocolates.
All the consumers why they continue to buy the old brand gave various important reasons.

Packaging
PRODUCT RESEARCH:
Under product research I came to know about the
modification which consumers wants as to the quality, packing, shape, color, and
quantity etc of their favorite chocolate.
PRICING RESEARCH:
This includes ability to consume, to pay for the product, how
much a person can spend on his/her favor chocolate. In this I have tried to find out
consumer’s price expectations and reactions.
ADVERTISING RESEARCH:
Under this I have conclude that whether the
advertisement appeals the consumer or not. This also includes evaluating and selecting the
proper media-mix and meaning advertisement effectiveness.
After the data analysis from both the sources: primary and secondary data, it can be
concluded that in India Cadbury’s is enjoying its success to a great extent beside the fact
that other competitors, mainly local, are trying hard to impress the youths of India. Nestle
is the biggest competitor of Cadbury’s and they face cut throat competition internationally
but in India there is not any such brand that is near to the Cadbury’s when it comes to
market share.
The advertisements are one of the important factors to attract the customers and
Cadbury’s is doing well in it. Its Silk advertisements were so popular that it created more
demand than the supply for that product. Also, the price has n number of ranges. From Rs.
5 chocolate to Rs. 500 rich dry fruit collection- mention the price and they have the
product of desired range. Cadbury’s surely knows how to band the customers with their
gift boxes.
Cadbury’s has 70% share in the Indian market and the reason for this is its continuous
innovation and techniques to attract the customers and make them brand loyal. Other
brands may take over Cadbury’s one day but not in near future.
RECOMMENDATION
Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly people
get attracted through television only.
Cadbury should concentrate on the shape of a chocolate.
People are unsatisfied with the price and quantity of chocolate so companies should
concentrate in this regard also.
They need to maintain high standards and should be careful that there products
remains good and is not effected by insects.
They also fixed their products price that all kinds of consumers can afford it.
Customer’s complaints should be welcomed & handled effectively. A quick response
to customers complaint can bring appositive impact on part of business firms
