Cadbury Dairy Milk has exciting products on offer - Cadbury Dairy Milk
Wowie, chocolate with Disney characters embossed in it, and Cadbury Dairy
Milk 2 in 1, a delightful combination of milk chocolate and white chocolate.
Giving consumers an exciting reason to keep coming back into the fun filled
world of Cadbury
Cadbury Dairy Milk has been the market leader in the chocolate category for years.
And has participated and been a part of every Indian's moments of happiness, joy and
celebration. Today, Cadbury Dairy Milk alone holds 30% value share of the Indian
chocolate market.
In the early 90's, chocolates were seen as 'meant for kids', usually a reward or a bribe
for children. In the Mid 90's the category was re-defined by the very popular `Real
Taste of Life' campaign, shifting the focus from `just for kids' to the `kid in all of us'. It
appealed to the child in every adult. And Cadbury Dairy Milk became the perfect
expression of 'spontaneity' and 'shared good feelings'.
The 'Real Taste of Life' campaign had many memorable executions, which people still fondly
remember. However, the one with the "girl dancing on the cricket field" has remained etched in
everyone's memory, as the most spontaneous & un-inhibited expression of happiness.
This campaign went on to be awarded 'The Campaign of the Century', in India at the
Abby (Ad Club, Mumbai) awards.
In the late 90's, to further expand the category, the focus shifted towards widening
chocolate consumption amongst the masses, through the
'KhanewalonKoKhaneKaBahanaChahiye' campaign. This campaign built social
acceptance for chocolate consumption amongst adults, by showcasing collective and
shared moments.
More recently, the 'KuchMeethaHoJaaye' campaign associated Cadbury Dairy Milk
with celebratory occasions and the phrase "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" became part of street
language. It has been adopted by consumers and today is used extensively to express
joy in a moment of achievement / success. The interactive campaign for "Pappu Pass
Ho Gaya" bagged a Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes Advertising
5-Star:
Chocolate lovers for a quarter of a century have indulged their taste buds with a
Cadbury 5 Star. A leading knight in the Cadbury portfolio and the second largest after
Cadbury Dairy Milk with a market share of 14%, Cadbury 5 Star moves from strength
to strength every year by increasing its user base. Launched in 1969 as a bar of
chocolate that was hard outside with soft caramel nougat inside, Cadbury 5 Star has re-
invented itself over the years to keep satisfying the consumers taste for a high quality &
different chocolate eating experience
Perk :
A pretty teenager; a long line, and hunger! Rings a bell? That was how Cadbury
launched its new offering; Cadbury Perk in 1996. With its light chocolate and wafer
construct, Cadbury Perk targeted the casual snacking space that was dominated
primarily by chips & wafers. With a catchy jingle and tongue in cheek advertising, this
'anytime, anywhere' snack zoomed right into the hearts of teenagers.
CELEBRATIONS :
Cadbury Celebrations was aimed at replacing traditional gifting options like Mithai and
dry- fruits during festive seasons.

Cadbury Celebrations has become a popular brand on occasions such as Diwali, Rakhi,
Dussera puja. It is also a major success as a corporate gifting brand. The
communication is based on the emotional route and the tag line says "rishtepakne do"
which fits with the brand purpose of strengthening your relationships with something
sweet.
Cadbury Bites:
Cadbury Bytes was launched in 2004-05 as Cadbury's foray into the rapidly growing
packaged snack market.
Cadbury Bytes is positioned as the 'only sweet snack' in the world of salty snacks. The
proposition we have arrived at is "Snacking kameethafunda", where we take a pot-shot
at other snacks, by saying `Har snack namkeennahihota'. The product is all about
breaking a cliché and teenagers identify with breaking stereotypes. The new
commercials- 'Tommy' and 'Villain', talk about breaking the stereotype.
Bournvita:
Cadbury was incorporated in India on July 19th, 1948 as a private limited company
under the name of Cadbury-Fry (India). Cadbury Bournvita was launched during the
same year.
It is among the oldest brands in the Malt Based Food / Malt Food category with a rich
heritage and has always been known to provide the best nutrition to aid growth and all
round development.
Throughout it's history, Cadbury Bournvita has continuously re-invented itself in terms
of product, packaging, promotion & distribution. The Cadbury lineage and rich brand
HALLS:
Halls accounts for 50% of international cough drop sales and is the leading sugar
confectionery brand in the world. In 1930’s, the Hall brothers invented its Mentho-
Lyptus formula, using a combination of menthol and eucalyptus, and began producing
cough drops. The cough drops were introduced into the US during the mid-1950s.
WarnerLambert recognised the potential of the product and acquired Halls in 1964. In
1971, Warner Lambert began selling Halls under the Adams family, and the first
national television campaign was aired in the US & the results were a resounding
success.
Bubbaloo:
Cadbury India has expanded its confectionary portfolio in 2007 by foraying into the
Bubble gum category with the launch of BubbalooBubblegum- a successful bubblegum
brand from its international portfolio.
Bubbaloo is an innovative soft bubblegum with a centre filled liquid.It is filled with a
high level of a great tasting fruit flavoured liquid that floods your mouth
instantly.Bubaloo is currently available in two yummy flavors- Strawberry and Mixed
Fruit.The communication focuses on the "fun filled liquid centre " of Bubbaloo and is
anchored by “Bubba- the cat”, the international mascot for the brand Bubbaloo.

Product:
My product is a re-launch of Cadbury dairy milk. Cadbury dairy milk is made from real chocolate.
Its ingredients include cocoa butter and there is a glass and half full cream dairy milk in every 200
grams of Cadbury dairy milk chocolate, Cadbury buys 65 million litres of fresh milk each year to
make Cadbury dairy milk chocolate.
Price is an important element of the marketing mix. The price charged for a chocolate bar can
determine whether a consumer will buy it and the level of sales achieved can determine whether or
not Cadbury Schweppes will make a profit. Price is also affected by factors such as the state of the
economy, what competitors are charging, the stage reached in the products life cycle and above all
what price the market will bear. From the marketing point of view this is what matters.

Dairy Milk has always tried to keep a strong association with milk,with slogans such as

particularly memorable and featured the writer, radio and television personality
FrankMuir.

Productions aired. It features several trucks at night on an empty runway at a Mexican
airport racing to the tune of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now". The ad campaign ran at the
same time as the problems at Heathrow Terminal 5 with baggage handling; in the
advert baggage was scattered across the runway.
On 5 September 2008, the Gorilla advert was relaunched with a new soundtrack –

CHAPTER-2
MARKETING STRATEGIES
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING STRATEGIES:
Marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its limited
resources on the greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve a sustainable
advantage. A marketing strategy should be centred on the key concept
thatcustomersatisfactionis the main goal.Marketing strategy is a method of focusing an
organization's energies and resources on a course of action which can lead to increased
sales and dominance of a targeted market niche. A marketing strategy combines
product development, promotion, distribution, pricing, relationship management and
other elements; identifies the firm's marketing goals, and explains how they will be
achieved, ideally within a stated timeframe. Marketing strategy determines the choice
of target market segments, positioning,marketingmix,and allocation of resources. It is
most effective when it is an integral component of overall firm strategy, defining how
the organization will successfully engage customers, prospects, and competitors in the
market arena. Corporate strategies, corporate missions, and corporate goals. As the
customer constitutes the source of a company's revenue, marketing strategy is closely
linked withsales.A key component of marketing strategy is often to keep marketing in
line with a company's overarchingmission statement.
PRODUCT:
Satisfaction suffices. But delight dazzles the average company will compete for customer by
conforming to her expectation consistently. But the winner will surpass them by constantly
exceeding her expectation, delivering to her door step additional benefits which she would never
have imagined possible. Cadbury’s offer such product. The wide variety products offered by the
company include:
I.Chocolate& Confectionary
II.Beverages
III. Food Drinks
Pricing:
Make no mistake. Second P of marketing is not another name for blindly lowering
prices and relying on this strategy alone to increase sales dramatically. The strategy
Cadbury’s has launched various products which cater to all customer segments. So
every customer segment has different price expectation from the product. Therefore
maximizing the returns involves identifying right price level for each segment, and then
progressively moving through them.
Place:
BRAND ISN’T THE ONLY ANY MORE. Marketers and finance manager need a new
term to evaluate their business:
Distribution Equity:
It takes much more time and effort to build, but once built, distribution equity is much
together to erode.
The fundamental axiom of Indian consumer market is this:
You can set up a state-of –the-art manufacturing facility, hire the hottest strategies on
the block, swamp prime television with best Ads, but the end of it all, you would be
know of selling your products. The cardinal task before the Indian market is managing
is to shoe-horn its product on retail shelves. Buyers are paying for distribution equity
not brand equity and market shares.
Why does the company need distribution equity more anything in India? With
technology and competitive pressure slash in it is becoming increasing difficult for
marketers to retain a unique product differentiation for ling period. In a product and
price parity situation, the brand that sells more is the one that reaches the highest
number of customers.
India – 1 billion people, 155 million household has over 4 million retail outlets in 5351
urban markets and 552725 villages, spread cross 3.28 million sq. km. television has
already primed and population for consumption, and the marketer who can get to the to
the consumer ahead of competition will give a hard – to – overtake lead. But getting
their means managing wildly different terrains-climate, language, value system, life
style, transport and communication network. And your brand equity isn’t going to help
when it comes to tackling these issues.
Own distribution network consist of clearing and forwarding (C&F) agents &
distribution stockiest. This network of distribution can either contact wholesalers and
which in turn retailers or the distributors can contact to the retailers directly.
. Cadbury’s distribution network has expanded from 1990 distributors last year to 2100
distributors and 4,50,000 retailers. Beside use of TI tom improves logistics, Cadbury is
also attempting to improve the distribution quality. To address the issue of product
Looking at the low penetration of the chocolate, a distribution expansion would itself
being incremental volume. The other reason is arch rival Nestle reaches more than a
million retailers.This increase in distribution is going to be accompanied by reduction
in channel costs. Cadbury’s marketing costs, at 18% of total costs, is much higher than
Nestlé’s 12% or even pure sugar confectionery major Parry’s 11%. The company is
looking to reduce this parity level. At Cadbury, they believe that selling confectionery
is it like selling soft drinks.
Promotion:
If an advertisement is to communicate effectively, the receiver must at least half want it
to, and be prepared too take step toward the sender. Effective advertising is rarely
hectoring or loudly explicit…. It often both attracts and generates arm feelings. More
often than not, a successful campaign has a stronger element of the unexpected a
quality that good advertising shares with much worthwhile literature.
To penetrate into the inner recesses of her memory, communication must first ensure
exposure, grab her attention evoke her comprehension, grab her acceptance and then
extract retention competing with thousands of other units of communication trying to
do the same.
Finding showed that the adults felt too conscious to be seen consuming a product
actually meant for children. The strategic response address the emotional appeal of the
band to the child within the adult. Naturally, that produced just the value vacuum that
Cadbury was looking to fill. Thereafter it was the job of the advertising to
communicate customer the wonderful feeling that he could experience by rediscoursing
the careful, unself conscious, pleasure – seeking child within himself – a graft these
feeling onto the Ad campaign like “KhaneWalonKoKhaneKaBahanaChahiye” for
CMD and “Thodi Si Pet Pooja – KabhiBhiKahinBhi” for Perk have been sure shot
winner with the audience.
All ICICI’ s ATM a message flashes on the screen as soon as customer insert his ATM
card. It tells the customer that this would be good time to get out of her temptation
since he/she is bound to be alone. Something familiar is planned for phone-book as
well. In cinemas, Cadbury has a message on-screen just before the lights are dimmed to
give them a chance to get their temptations. There will also be after dinner sampling in
restaurants – to begin with, 30 catteries in Mumbai have been selected.
The next round of activity will include the wafer-chocolate Perk and the Picnic bar,
which has faced problems with its taste, because of the peanut it contains. Milk treat
has also been launched in a module bar form, just in time of Diwali gifting market.
Éclairs has got potential for much wide distribution, in a small sweets that airlines,
hostels, and up market retail outlet offer to guest and customers.
Ad spend in 2000 was about 14% of sales and the management said that plans to
maintain as spend at this level in the current year also.
Ad since any discussion today would be incomplete without mention ‘e’ word, the
management plans to tap this new channel of marketing. Beside three company website
(i.e. www.cadburyindia .com, wwww.bourvita.com, www.cadburygift.com that the
company has launched, it had also entered into various marketing relationship with
other portals, specially targeted during festivals and events such as Valentines day ,
etc….
It’s a combination of spiffing up its key brand, researching and improving the newer
products that haven’t taken off, supported with high ad – spends that Cadbury hopes
will see it emerges stronger after the current slowdown, as well as expand the market.
Positioning:
In the 1970s consumers were ready to pay “more for more”, and luxury goods
flourished. In the 1980s, consumers began to demand “more for same”, and the
Targeting:
1 Its customer base represents the masses of India - individual homebuilders in
small towns, rural and semi-urban India.
2 The company targets on the important projects like dams, roads in the country
Strengths
Weaknesses:
Opportunities:
1 New markets. Significant opportunities exist to expand into the emerging
markets of China, Russia, India, where populations are growing, consumer
wealth is increasing and demand for confectionery products is increasing.
2 The confectionery market is characterized by a high degree of merger and
acquisition activity in recent years. Opportunities exist to increase share through
targeted acquisitions[6].
3 Key to survival within the FMCG market is increasing efficiency and reducing
costs. Cadbury Fuel for Growth[7]and cost efficiency programmes seek to bring
cost savings by: 1) Moving production to low cost countries, where raw
materials and labour is cheaper ii) reduce internal costs - supply chain
efficiency, global sourcing and procurement, and wise investment in R&D.
4 4 Innovation is key driver. To respond to changes in consumer tastes and
preferences - healthier snacks with lower calories need to be developed. R&D
and product launches have led to sugar-free ¢er filled chewing gum
varieties and Cadbury premium indulgence treat. Low-fat, organic and natural
confectionery demand appears strong.
The study is of diagnostic nature and thus the overall research design is going
to be rigid. The design should provide enough provision for protection
against bias-ness and must maximize reliability.
Hypothesis:
To analysis the buying behaviors of the residents of Yamuna Nagar Sample Survey Methods has
been employed through other methods are also important. This method is given prime significance
in modern research because of its extensive use to study the relationship of different factors,
attitudes and practices of society and to explore the problems that cannot be treated by experimental
methods. To collect data, a number of techniques are employed under the sample survey method i.e.
questionnaire. The increasing use of questionnaire is probably due to increased emphasis by social
scientists on quantitative measurement to uniformly accumulated data. In this case, stratified
random sampling was done since the respondents will classified into well defined classes or strata
that were distinct from each other. Sample size was 100. For measuring the correlation between
various influencing factors like price, taste, packaging, brand name etc. and buying behavior of
consumers for milk chocolate bars the Group Correlation is used and the formula.
Introduction:
Perception refers to the senses that any organism uses to collect information about its environment.
Wade &Tavrisnote that the senses corresponding to the human sense organs have been categorised
at least since Aristotle's time as: vision, hearing, taste, touch and smell. Walters &Bergiel continue
the biological viewpoint by explaining that according to the modem outlook, our sense of smell
and taste are our olfactory senses due to the fact that our senses of smell and taste are so closely
entwined. They continue by stating that humans also perceive in kinaesthetic mode and in a
vestibularmode.In consumer behaviour, however, perception refers to much more than just the
biological use of our sense organs. It includes the way stimuli are interacted and integrated by the
consumer. Although there are numerous definitions in literature explaining perception from a
consumer behaviour perspective, the one used by Walters provides particular clarity on the topic:
"The entire process by which an individual becomes aware of the environment and interprets it so
that it will fit into his or her frame of reference
“Retailing includes all the activities involved in selling goods or services to the final consumers for
personal, non-business use”.
Scope:
In this research investigation was conducted to determine the position of consuming habits
towards Cadbury Chocolate. The aspects looked into the preference of chocolate. The scope of the
study to analyse the consumer perception of Cadbury chocolate.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
This present research based on both primary and secondary data has been collected to the primary
sources. The questionnaire method have been applied for primary data collection . for the study I
have taken 50 sample and selected randomly for data collection . I have choose Berhampur city for
primary data collection . the second data has been collected from secondary sources i.e. books,
journal, periodically, magazine and internet etc. the data has been collected from moth of January-
February 2020. The detective statistics tools has been applied for data analysis and
interpretation.
Limitations:
There are some limitations is the study on consumer perception regarding Cadbury products.
Sample size is 50, so the accurate survey is not enough to generalize the finding of the study.
Samples are only collected in Coimbatore District, so it will not applicable to other places.

taste and preference with respect to purchase of car. This study is concluded that consumer
behaviour plays a vital role in marketing cars and there is more scope for extensive research in this
area.
