Perk your spirits with Glucose Energy: A case of new produc
in chocolate industry
On the pleasant evening of November 15, 2011, Mr. Nikhil Avasthi, Brand Manager,
Cadbury India Ltc., sat in his office, reviewing the product performance report of their new
product, Perk with Glucose Energy (PGE), submitted by his team. It had been exactly two
years since the product was launched in the Indian market, PGE was a unique product as it
offered chocolate taste and flavour coupled with benefits of glucose energy.
Cadbury had already consolidated its position in the chocolate industry, with 70 per cent
share of the INR 2000 crore chocolate industry and well established brands like "Dairy
Milk", "Five Star", and “Bubbalo" in the chocolate and bubble gum category respectively.
‘The company witnessed a double-digit growth between the years 2005-2008, prior to the
launch of PGE, In 2005, it had a tumover of around Rs 875 crore, while in 2008 the company
registered a turnover of Rs 1,587 crore.’ With the launch of the new product, “Perk with
Glucose energy”, the company aimed to tap the chocolate wafer segment targeted towards the
youth. The 21gm PGE pack was priced at INR 5 and the 7.5 gm pack at INR 2. The original
Perk, launched in 1996, was gradually phased out by the company.?
Since its launch, the company had been keeping a close track of how the product had been
received in the market and what was the consumer attitude and response towards the new
product, As Mr. Avasthi read through the report on PGE, the following questions arose in his
mind:

History of Cadbury”
In 1824, John Cadbury - the founder of Cadbury, began selling tea, coffee, cocoa and
drinking chocolate, as alternatives to alcohol, at 93 Bull Street in Birmingham, England, All
the items were produced by John himself, with the help of pestle and mortar. In 1831, he
moved into the production of a variety of cocoas and drinking chocolates from a factory in
Bridge Street. In 1861, his sons took over the business and worked hard to keep the business
going.
‘The Dairy Milk bar was launched in 1905 and became the company’s best selling product by
1913. Several other products were launched over the next thirty years and soon, Cadbury
became the br
nd leader in UK. In 1969, Cadbury merged with the drinks company
Schweppes to form a new entity that was known as Cadbury Schweppes. However, the entity
was separated in 2008. In 2010, Cadbury was acquired by Kraft Foods, which is the largest
Confectionery, Food, and Beverage Company in the world.

July 7, 2012The taste of chocolate in India was very different from the taste of chocolate in Western
nations. Even the consumpt
n pattern of chocolates in India was somewhat different from
the western world, While the per capita consumption of chocolate in developed markets stood
at 11 kg, it was a paltry 165 gram in India.'? Cadbury customized the chocolates keeping in
mind the Indian market and was a pioneer in developing chocolate eating habits in the Indian
customers, It actually set up a benchmark in the Indian chocolate market through its
innovative product offerings. It emerged as the dominating player in the chocolate market as
its chocolates’ were at par with the tastes of the Indian masses. With the help of its focused
communication strategies, Cadbury India created a strong positioning in the mind of the
consumers. Cadbury positioned itself to be a product for almost all demographic segments.
Cadbury was successful in attaining a share of consumer’s mind and repositioned some of its,
chocolate brands to retain and rejuvenate customer interest. With the dawn of the new
century, Cadbury presented itself as a replacement of traditional Indian sweets and developed
the concept of gifting chocolates on festivals and special occasions. It further extended the
concept of gifting chocolates to social gatherings and parties, thereby portraying it as an all-
year-round gifting option.'? Thus, Cadbury cashed in all the celebration moments through its
clever advertising campaigns. Its Celebrations range held a market share of 6.5 percent.'*

impetus. The product usage width was broadened and the market was expanded beyond the

Cadbury Reinvention
Cadbury kept reinventing itself from time-to-time. At times, well-known Bollywood
celebrities were used for a new product launch and at others, common faces were used.
Cadbury promoted its brand with the help of emotional appeal in its advertisements. All its
campaigns promoted the spirit of family bonding, friendships, and spreading happiness.”
Emotions were the bestselling tool that had been widely used time and again by the marketers
to capture the hearts of the consumer.'*
Cadbury had extensively used such emotional themes to retain as well as win new customers.
In depth understanding of customer media usage pattern and an intelligent selection of media
mix made Cadbury a household name. Some of its advertisements became very popular
among cach of its target segment,
Over the last few years, perception of chocolates has changed from being a lavish and
premium product to everyday consumption product. Customers did not need any particular
imomients for buying and consuming chocolates, yet Cadbury gave consumers many reasons
to savour chocolates,
Cadbury kept launching new products at regular intervals, extended existing products, or/and
re Iaunched the products. Success of Cadbury’s campaign was in successful match between
communication strategies and product characteristics, Marketing campaigns were fresh and
innovative piquing consumer curiosity and reviving interest in chocolate consumption, For
Cadbury’s competitors, it was a challenge to match up its fresh and innovative ideas.
