Britannia's business was flourishing. But, more importantly, Britannia was acquiring a reputation for quality and value. As a result, during the tragic World War II, the Government reposed its trust in Britannia by contracting it to supply large quantities of "service biscuits” to the armed forces. As time maved on, the biscuit market continued to grow... and Britannia grew along with it. In 1975, the Britannia Biscuit Company took over the distribution of biscuits from Parry's who till now distributed Britannia biscuits in India. In the subsequent public issue of 1978, Indian shareholding crossed 60%, firmly establishing the Indianness of the firm. The following year, Britannia Biscuit Company was re-christened Britannia Industries Limited (BIL). Four yeurs Inter in 1983, it crossed the Rs. 100 crores revenue mark. On the operations front, the company was making equally dynamic strides. In 1992, it celebrated its Platinui Jubilee. In 1997, the company unveiled its new corporate identity - "Eat Healthy, Think Better" - and made its first foray into the dairy products market. In 1999, the "Britannia Khao, World Cup Jao” promotion further fortified the affinity consumers had with ‘Brand Britannia’. Britannia strode into the 2st C: $s iggest brands and the pre-eminent food brand of the country. It was equally recognized for its innovative approach to products and marketing: the Lagaan Match was voted India's most successful promotional activity of the year 2001 while the delicious Britannia $050 Maska-Chaska became India's most successful product launch, In 2002, Britannia’s New Business Division formed a joint venture with Fonterra, the world’s second largest Dairy Company, and Britannia New Zealand Foods Pvt, Ltd, was born. In recognition of its vision and accelerating graph, Forbes Global rated Britannia ‘One amongst the Top 200 Small Companies of the World’, and The Economic Times pegged Britannia India’s 2nd Most Trusted Brand. Today, more than a century after those tentative first steps, Britannia’s fairy tale is mot only going strong but blazing new standards, and that miniscule initial investment has grown by Jeaps and bounds to erores of rupees in wealth for Britannia’s shareholders. The company’s offerings are spread actoss the spectrum with products ranging from the healthy and economical Tiger biseuits to the more lifestyle-oriented Milkman Cheese. Having succeeded in gamering the trust of almost one-third of India's one billion population and a strong management at the helm means Britannia will continue to dream big on its path of innovation and quality. BRITANNIA DAIRY INDUSTRY Dairy India remains the largest producer and consumer of dairy, However, as in the case of other food products, Indians trail much of the world in per capita dairy consumption. This gap is getting bridged rapidly with demand growing at a faster pace than supply. Many industry 15 experts opine that this is likely to cause a supply deficit in the near future. Largeness of the Dairy opportunity is visible to all; asa result the industry this year saw heightened activity with several private companies announcing entry, cooperatives expanding footprint and multinationals formally entering. While the growth in the last few years has been on account of increasing milk consumption; value added segments of dairy such as Cheese and Set Di in which your Company participates have grown at a faster pace, A range of factors will drive the growth of dairy industry going forward; i) With time available to manage houscholds declining; consumers will seek day-to-day needs in ready to consume and convenient forms. With this dairy industry which is overwhelmingly unorganized today will shift steadily towards the organized sector; ii) With increasing affluence there will be demand for the value added product; as a result dairy market will shift from basic to processed; MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ) Consumption of all dairy products will go up as consumers gravitate towards a more balanced diet as income levels increase, The levers of success going forward are likely to be: a) Access to quality milk as basic raw mat b) The right product value addition eapabil ©) Access to a cold chain, Britannia is recognized as one of the most trusted, valuable and popular brands among Indian consumers in various reputed surveys.

The buyer senses a difference between his actual state and desired state. INFORMATION SEARCH There are different sources from where a consumer can gather information like personal sources commercial sources, experimental sources: EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES After gathering information about different products the customer will be ina fuss as. to choose which product among the mainly alternatives consumer usually evaluate the alternatives on traditional basis, on the basis of utility function etc, from the many alternative consumers at last choose the best one for him. PURCHASE DECISION ‘A constimer who decides to execute purchase intention will be making up to five purchase decisions. POST PURCHASE BEHAVIOR After purchasing the product and services the consumer will experience some level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the product and services that will influence subsequent behavior, If consumer is satisfied he may show the probability of buying the produict the next time, satisfied customer will say good thing about the product, proving the statement that “satisfied customer's the best advertisement.” A dissatisfied customer may take some action against it. They may try to reduce the dissonance by abandoning retuming the product, Understanding consumer needs and buying process is the foundation of any company. By understanding how buyers go through problem recognition, information search evaluation of altematives, the purchase decision and post purchase behavior marketers can pick up many clues as to how to meet buyers need. A PEST analysis is used to identify the external forces affecting an organisation .This is a simple analysis of an organisations Political, Economical, Social and Technological environment. A PEST analysis incorporating legal and environmental factors is called a PESTLE analysis. Political The first element of a PEST analysis isa study of political factors. Political factors influence organisations in many ways. Political factors can create advantages and opportunities for organisations, Conversely they can place obligations and duties on organisations. Political factors which influence the Britannia areas follows:= Methodology of development of Standards Provisions of Labelling Acceptance of a basic list of additives Matters relating to GMP(Good Manufacturing Practice), GHP(Gud Health Plan) Issues related to Codex Procedure for sampling& launching of Prosecutin Grading of violations according to the nature of discrepancy. Legislation such as the minimum wage or anti discrimination laws Voluntary codes an Market regulations ‘Trade agreements, tatifTs or restrictions. Non conformance with legislative obligations can lead to sanctions such as fines, adverse publicity and imprisonment. Ineffective voluntary codes and practices will often lead to governments introducing legislation to regulate the activities covered by the codes and practices Economical The second clement of a PEST analysis involves a study of economic factors.All businesses are affected by national and global economic factors. National and global interest rate and fiscal policy will be set around economic conditions. The climate of the economy dictates how consumers, suppliers and other organisational stakeholders such as suppliers and creditors behave within society.An economy undergoing recession will have hi unemployment, low spending power and low stakcholder confidence. Conversely a *pooming’ or growing, economy will have fow unemployment, high spending power and high stakeholder confidence. A Britannia will respond ta-economic conditions and stakeholder behaviour, Furthermore Britannia will need to review the impaet economic conditions are having on their competitors and respond accordingly. A truly Britannia has to be aware of economic conditions across all borders and needs to ensure that it employs strategies that protect and promote its business through economic conditions throughout the world, Social ‘The third aspect of PEST focuses its aitention on forees within society such as family, friends,colleagues, neighbours and the media: Social forees affect our attitudes, interest s and opinions. These forces shape who we are as people, the way we behave and ultimately what we purchase, For example within the UK peoples altitudes are changing towards their diet and health. As aresult the UK is seeing an increase in the number of people joining fitness elubs ‘and a niassivegrowth for the demand of organic food. Population changes also haye a direct impact on organisations. Changes in the structure of a population will affect the supply and demand of goods and services within an economy. Falling birth rates will result in decreased demand and greater competition as the number of consumers fall, In summary Britannia must be able to offer products and services that aim to complement and benefit people's lifestyle and behaviour. If Britannia do not respond to changes in society they will lose market share and demand for their product or service. Technological Unsurprisingly the fourth element of PEST is technology. as you are probably aware technological advances have greatly changed the manner in which businesses operate. Organisations use technology in many ways, they have 1. Technology infrastructure such as the intemet and other information exchange systemsincluding telephone2. Technology systems incorporating a multitude of software which help them manage their business.3. Technology hardware such as mobile phones, Blackberrys, laptops, deskiops, Bluctooth devices, photocopiers and fax machines which P7] transmit and record information. Technology has created a society which expects instant results. This technological revolution has increased the rate at which information is exchanged between stakeholders. A faster exchange of information can benefit Britannia company as they are able to react quickly to changes within their operating environment. However an ability to react quickly also creates extra pressure as businesses are expected to deliver on their promises within ever decreasing timescales. Technology will continue to evolve and impact on consumer habits and expectations,. If Britannia ignore this fact then it will definitely face extinetion, MARKETING STRATEGY Marketing is not Euclidean geometry a fixed system of concept. Rather marketin, the dynamic fields with in the management arena, The market faces continually a new challenge everyday anid companies must respond to it positively. Therefore it is not surprising that new marker idea keep surfacing to mect new market place challenges, The market process is applicable to more than goods and services. Anything related to market including ideas, events, policies, prices and personalities comes under market sttaitegy, However portant to emphasize opportunity in the market through market strategy. Following strategies adopted by the organization © A strong quality of the product and customer satisfaction: Customers always beliove in good quality product, in my survey I found that in percentage term more people is quality coriscious and not price corsctous. Customer satisfiction is very important part of the organization that at any cost they have to fu = A growing relationship with customer and customer retention: Nowadays a good relation with customer is very important for organization. Sale is totally depending on the relation with the customers. Custoiner’s retention is also a major aspect for growing business. 11 means keep the old customer and try to yuake new customer. > Focus on competitors activi Every orginization should must be careful about it's competitors step, because they ean disturb the growing sales process of the organization, A grawing emphasis on global thinking and local marketing plannia; Companies are increasing by pursuing market beyond their borders. When they enter other countries they must follow the tradition of that country and also they make plan for local market that which type of product has more elemand and how can it run in the market. * Promotional Strategy Under the market strategy promotional idea is very important. Organization provides some schemes or rebates to retailers or consumers. They make advertisement according to convenient of the people and the feature of the product. So on the basis of marketing strategy a organization runs in the market. Itis several types of which makes helpful to increase sales and turnover of the organization TARGET SEGMENT & DEFINATION |seenen People who need and consume bakery and dairy products Target Group Middle and upper middle class families, especially kids | | India’s leading manufacturer of premium quality and healthy biscuits, bakery and. Positioning dairy products .Market segmentation and selecting target market Itis an effort to increase a company’s precision marketing. The starting point of any segmentation discussion is mass marketing. In mass marketing, the seller engaged in the mass production, mass distribution and mass promotion of one product for all buyers. Market segment consists of a large identifiable group within a market with similar wants, purchasing power geographical location, buying altitudes or buying habita, It is an approach midway between mass marketing and individual marketing. Through this the choice of distritution channels, and communicaton channels become much easier. The researchers try to form segments by looking at consumer characteristics; geographic, demographic, and psychographic. After segmenting the market then target market selected. 2. Positioning: The positioning is a creative exercise down with an existing product the well known products generally hold a distinctive position in consumer's minds. The positioning requires that every tangible aspect of product, price. place and promotion must support the chosen positioning strategy. Company should develop a unique selling proposition (USP) for each brand and stick to it, PPL consistently promotes its DAP feriilizer by Higher yield at lower cost. As companies increase the number of claims for their brand, they risk disbelief and a'loss of clear positioning. in general a company must avoid four major positioning errors. Those are under positioning over positioning, confused positioning and doubtful positioning. 3. Product: A product is any offering that can satisfy a need or want. The major types of basic offerings are goods, services, experiences, events, places, properties, organizations, information and ideas. The company gives more importance in quality, packaging, services ett. to satisfy the custoriers. The products has it's life cycle. The product strategies are modified in different stages of product life cycle. 4, Prices. itis the most important aspect in company's paint of view. Price of the product willbe dacided by the company according to the competitors price. 5. Place:- This plays a major role in the entire marketing system, the company emphasis on it's distribution network. Proper distribution network gives proper availability of the product. 6. Promation:- Promotion is the one of the majar aspects in marketing strategies. By adopting various promotional activities the company create strong brand image: It also helps in increasing the brand awareness. It includes advertising, sales promotioins and public relations etc. 7. Research and Development:- after testing, the new product manager must develop a preliminary marketing strategy plan for introducing the new product in to the market. The plan consists of throe parts. The first part describes the target market's size, structure and behavior. The second part out lines the planned price, distribution strategy and marketing budget for the first year. The third part of the development describes the tong run sales and profit goais and marketing mix strategy over time. MARKETING MIX Target Market Pricy Prombtion Place Product variety _List price Sales promotion Channels Quality Discounts Advertising Coverage Design Allowances Sales forces Assortments Fealures Payment period Public relation Locations Brand name Credit terms Direct marketing Inventory Packaging Transport Sizes Services MARKET POTENTIAL Market potential of the BRITANNIA is much positive in competitive era and will sure cover the maximum market share of biscuit product. Potentiality of any product depends upon the futuristic performance of the product. it depends that how much retailers have potentiality to be permanent seller of BRITANNIA. For great potentiality itis necessary to improve those factors which are going to effect retailers. In my study I found some factors which ean help to cover great potentiality. These factors are following: * Scheme delivery should in perfect determining time, * Some places distributors not able to cover his particular area. That should be improved. Scheme facility should be regular as much as possible ‘Small pack also should be in the market. Always collect the views of retailers. It gives psychological effect on the retailers about care ness by manufacturing company These factors are very important for the organization. If company is able to improve these all factors then definitely its market share will more increase. Retailers will take more interest to sell Britannia biscuit and customer will also enjoy for it. So potentiality is very high to Britannia biscuit in positive direction. SWOT ANALYSIS L.Around 120 years in the industry India’s most trusted brand with strong brand recall 3.
