WHAT’S MARKETING
INTRODUCTION
Health is wealth. In olden days environment was clean and there was no problem
of ill health. Now a day due to the evaluation of industrialization the atmosphere is polluted
and man also has become materialistic and busy with his routine life. Thus he doesn’t have
proper time to take care of his health.
Thus he needs to maintain good health. Recognizing this he doesn’t care to spend
considerable amounts on health.
Cadbury’s could not catch this point, where consumer need was good health and
developed drinks. But people continued to consume milk for good health. The company
took some more efforts to educate people about health drinks through come effective ads
emphasizing more on school going children.
COMPANY PROFILE
History
In 1824, John Cadbury began selling tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate, which he
produced himself, at Bull Street in Birmingham, England. John Cadbury later moved into
the production of a variety of Cocoas and Drinking Chocolates being manufactured from
a factory in Bridge Street, supplying mainly to the wealthy due to the high cost of
manufacture at this time. During this time a partnership was struck between John Cadbury
and his brother Benjamin. At this time the company was known as 'Cadbury Brothers of
Birmingham'.
The two brothers opened an office in London and in 1854 received the Royal
Warrant as manufacturers of chocolate and cocoa to Queen Victoria. Around this time in
the 1850s the industry received a much needed boost with the reduction in high import
taxes on cocoa; this allowed chocolate to become more affordable to everyone.
Due to the popularity of a new expanded product line, including the very popular
Cadbury's Cocoa Essence, the company's success led to the decision in 1873 to cease the
trading of tea. Around this time, master confectioner Frederic Kinchelman was appointed
to share his recipe and production secrets with Cadbury, which led to an assortment of
various chocolate covered items.
Having taken over the business in 1861, John Cadbury's sons Richard and George
decided in 1878 that they needed to find new premises. Requiring better transport access
for milk that was inward shipped by canal, and cocoa that was brought in by rail from
London, Southampton and Liverpool docks, the Cadbury's started looking for a new
greenfield site. Noticing the development of the Birmingham West Suburban Railway
south along the path of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, in 1878 they acquired the
Bournbrook estate, comprising 14.5 acres (5.9 ha) of countryside 5 miles (8.0 km) south
of the outskirts of Birmingham. Located right next to the new Stirchley Road railway
station, itself directly opposite the canal, they renamed the Bournbrook estate to
Bournville and opened the Bournville factory in 1879.
In 1893, George Cadbury bought 120 acres (49 ha) of land close to the works and
planned, at his own expense, a model village which would 'alleviate the evils of modern
more cramped living conditions'. By 1900 the estate included 313 cottages and houses set
on 330 acres (130 ha) of land. As the Cadbury family were Quakers there were no pubs in
the estate; in fact, it was their Quaker beliefs that first led them to sell tea, coffee and
cocoa as alternatives to alcohol.
In 1905, Cadbury's launched its Dairy Milk bar, with a higher proportion of milk
than previous chocolate bars, and it became the company's best selling product by 1913.
Fruit and Nut was introduced as part of the Dairy Milk line in 1928, soon followed by
Whole Nut in 1933. By this point, Cadbury's was the brand leader in the United
Kingdom. These were accompanied by several other products: Flake (1920), Cream-filled
eggs (1923), Crunchie (1929) and Roses (1938).
Cadbury's Milk Tray was first produced in 1915 and continued in production
throughout the remainder of the First World War. More than 2,000 of Cadbury's male
employees joined the Armed Forces and to support the war effort, Cadbury provided
clothing, books and chocolate to soldiers. After the war, the Bournville factory was
redeveloped and mass production began in earnest. In 1918, Cadbury opened their first
overseas factory in Hobart, Tasmania and in 1919 undertook a merger with J. S. Fry &
Sons, another chocolate manufacturer which saw the integration of well-known brands
such as Fry's Chocolate Cream and Fry's Turkish Delight.
During World War II, parts of the Bournville factory were turned over to war
work, producing milling machines and seats for fighter aircraft. Workers ploughed
football fields in which to plant crops. As chocolate was regarded as an essential food it
was placed under government supervision for the entire war. The wartime rationing of
chocolate ended in 1949, and normal production resumed. Cadbury subsequently built
new factories and had an increasing demand for their products.
Demerger
In March 2007, it was revealed that Cadbury Schweppes was planning to split its
business into two separate entities: one focusing on its main chocolate and confectionery
market; the other on its US drinks business. The demerger took effect on 2 May 2008,
with the drinks business becoming Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. In December 2008 it
was announced that Cadbury was to sell its Australian beverage unit to Asahi Breweries.

In India, Cadbury
began its operations in
1948 by importing
chocolates. After 60
years of existence, it
today has five company-
owned manufacturing
facilities at Thane, Induri
(Pune) and Malanpur

Cadbury enjoys a value market share of over 70% - the highest Cadbury brand share
in the world! Our billion-dollar brand Cadbury Dairy Milk is considered the "gold
standard" for chocolates in India. The pure taste of CDM defines the chocolate taste for
the Indian consumer.
In the Milk Food drinks segment our main product is Bournvita - the leading Malted
Food Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is the
undisputed leader. We recently entered the gums category with the launch of our
worldwide dominant bubble gum brand Bubbaloo. Bubbaloo is sold in 25 countries
worldwide.
Since 1965 Cadbury has also pioneered the development of cocoa cultivation in India.
For over two decades, we have worked with the Kerala Agriculture University to
undertake cocoa research and released clones, hybrids that improve the cocoa yield. Our
Cocoa team visits farmers and advise them on the cultivation aspects from planting to
harvesting. We also conduct farmers meetings & seminars to educate them on Cocoa
cultivation aspects. Our efforts have increased cocoa productivity and touched the lives of
thousands of farmers. Hardly surprising then that the Cocoa tree is called the Cadbury
tree!
PRODUCT PROFILE
The Journey:
The brand has been an enduring symbol of mental and physical health ever since it
was launched in 1948. It is hardly surprising then, that Bournvita enjoys a major presence
in the Malt Food market. Given its market share of 17%, Cadbury Bournvita reaches
across hundreds of cities, towns and villages through 3,50,000 outlets in India.
Cadbury now offers two options to capture this appeal: Cadbury Bournvita, with
its popular chocolate taste, and its latest offering, Cadbury Bournvita 5 Star Magic,
leveraging the rich chocolate and caramel flavour of Cadbury 5 Star.
During the '70s the communication centered on 'Good upbringing' and Bournvita
became an essential building block for childhood. "Goodness that grows with you" was
the campaign idea that communicated this thought.
In the 80's the focus shifted from 'Upbringing' to 'Intelligence' with the more
aggressive "Brought up right, Bournvita bright" campaign, which was very successful
during its time.
In the early '90s all brands in the category provided purely physical benefits like
nourishment, energy and growth. It was at this time that Bournvita decided to raise the
bar by promising physical and mental benefits. This resulted in the famous Tan Ki Shakti,
Man Ki Shakti Campaign which became an anthem for the brand.
In the new millennium, keeping pace with the evolving mindsets of the new age
consumers, Cadbury Bournvita is about arming consumers with Confidence to take on
physical and mental challenges that nobody else can, resulting in one of the most
successful advertising campaigns which is based on 'Real Achievers who have grown up
on Bournvita'.
