INTRODUCTION:

The Indian market has lot of potential to expand; it is very hard to survive in this

kind of market. The Indian market has cut throat competition may it be in FMCG

sector or consumer durables. Increasing growth can be achieved at the expense of

competitors. This results in companies trying to gain competitive edge through

increasing differentiation in their brands emphasizing how they meet the needs of

customer.

A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them,

intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to

differentiate them from those of the competitors”. In other words we can say that, a

brand is a distinguishing identity and promise which benefits the customer

Brand Image is a set of feelings, emotions and experiences that are linked to the

brand. It is developed over time through advertising campaigns with a consistent

theme, and is authenticated through the consumers' direct experience. Brand image

can deviate from the brand identity due to different perceptions, unexpected events,

and different interpretation of communicated messages.

leader in Chocolate Confectionery business with a market share of over 70%.

Some of the key brands of Cadbury are Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Perk, Éclairs,

Celebrations, Temptations, and Gems. In Milk Food drinks segment, Cadbury's

main product - Bournvita is the leading Malted Food Drink in the country.

HISTORY (CADBURY)

In 1824, John Cadbury opened a shop in Birmingham. This one-man business,

trading mainly in Tea & Coffee was to be the foundation of Cadbury Limited. For

over 100 years Cadbury was a family business. In 1943 non family directors were

appointed. In 1847, the enterprise had prospered to a large factory in Bridge Street,

Birmingham. John Cadbury took his brother Benjamin into partnership and the

family business became Cadbury Brothers Birmingham. The business moved to

Bourneville after outgrowing the Bridge Street Factory. The Workforce had risen

up to 200 after 32 years at Bridge Street. After the death of two brothers in 1899,

the company was privatized. It entered the era of scientific management; it

introduced new ideas for their department like: Advertisement & Cost Analytical

Laboratories Sales Department Offices Education & Training for Works

Committee Medical Department employees on 2nd February, Kraft Foods took

over 71% shares of Cadbury. They acquired it totally. But still Cadbury was on top

in the market. This acquisition did not changed people’s mind and their craze for

Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Cadbury began its operation in 1948 by importing chocolates and then re-packing

them before distributing it in the Indian market. After 62 years, it is having five

companies at Thane, Induri (Pune), Malanpur (Gwalior), Bangalore, Baddi

(Himachal Pradesh) and 4 sales offices in (New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and

6 | P a g e

Chennai). The corporate office is in Mumbai. Worldwide, Cadbury employs

60,000 people in over 200 countries.

Cadbury's distribution network used to encompasses 2100 distributors and 450,000

retailers. To avoid cannibalization of its higher priced products from lower priced

ones, Cadbury is setting up two separate distribution channels – one for Core

business & other for Mass markets, with different stockists, wholesalers and

retailers. But today, Cadbury's distribution network reaches out to six lakh outlets

each for its chocolate & confectionery brands (i.e. total reaching12 lakh outlets).

The total confectionery market is valued at Rupees 41 billion with a volume

turnover of about 223500 tonnes per annum. The category is largely consumed in

urban areas with a 73% skew to urban markets and a 27% to rural markets. Hard

boiled candy accounts for 18%, Éclairs and Toffees accounts for 18%, Gums and

Mints and lozenges are at par and account for 13%. Digestive Candies and

Lollipops account for 2.0% share respectively. Overall industry growth is

estimated at 23% in the chocolates segment and sugar confectionery segment has

declined by 19%. The Milk Beverages industry is valued at Rupees 16.1 billion

with an annual turnover of approx 63,000 tonnes. As per Nielsen estimates the

industry is growing at 10.1%.

The company’s main purpose is “Working together to create brands people love"

capture the spirit of what we are trying to achieve as a business. We collaborate

and work as team to convert products into brand.

Simply, “we spread happiness

Currently Cadbury India operates in three sectors viz. Chocolate Confectionery,

Milk Food Drinks and in the Candy category.

In the Chocolate Confectionery business, Cadbury has maintained its undisputed

leadership over the years. Some of the key brands are Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star,

Perk, Éclairs and Celebrations. Cadbury enjoys a value market share of over 70% -

the highest Cadbury brand share in the world! Cadbury is 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 Cadbury’s main product is Bourn vita - the

leading Malted Food Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated

candy category Halls is the undisputed leader.

The Cadbury India Brand Strategy has received consistent support through simple

but imaginative extensions to product categories and distribution. A good example

of this is the development of Bytes. Crispy wafers filled with coca cream in the

form of a bagged snack, Bytes is positioned as "The new concept of sweet

snacking". It delivers the taste of chocolate in the form of a light snack, and thus

heralds the entry of Cadbury India into the growing bagged Snack Market, which

has been dominated until now by Salted Bagged Snack Brands. Byte was first

launched in South India in 2003.

Since 1965 Cadbury has also pioneered the development of cocoa cultivation in

India. For over two decades, Cadbury have worked with the Kerala Agriculture

University to undertake cocoa research and released clones, hybrids that improve

the cocoa yield. Cadbury Cocoa team visits farmers and advises them on the

cultivation aspects from planting to harvesting. Cadbury also conduct farmers

meetings & seminars to educate them on Cocoa cultivation aspects. Cadbury

efforts have increased cocoa productivity and touched the lives of thousands of

farmers.

CADBURY PRODUCTS:

Chocolate

• Cadbury Celebrations

• Bournville

• 5 Star

• Perk

• Gems

• Toblerone

The Cadbury brand has a profound impact on individual product brands. Brands

have individual personalities aimed at specific target markets for specific needs

e.g. Timeout, for example, is an ideal snack to have with a cup of tea. These brands

derive benefit from the Cadbury parentage, including quality and taste credentials.

To ensure the success of product brands every aspect of the parent brand is focused

on. A Flake, Crunchy or Timeout are clearly different and are manufactured to

appeal to a variety of consumer segments. However the strength of the umbrella

brand supports the brand value of each chocolate bar. Consumers know they can

trust a chocolate bar that carries Cadbury branding. The relationship between

Cadbury and individual brands is symbiotic with some brands benefiting more

from the Cadbury relationship, i.e. pure chocolate brands such as Dairy Milk.

Other brands have a more distant relationship, as the consumer motivation to

purchase is ingredients other than chocolate, e.g. Crunchy. Similarly issues such as

specific advertising or product quality of a packet of Cadbury biscuits or a single

Crème Egg will, in turn, impact on the perception of the parent brand. Similarly the

umbrella brand has a strong brand value and a reputation that must be supported by

its individual brands

advertisement trigger for chocolate. The brands known or perceived as better

quality are more often bought based on the events. Habitual chocolate consumers

do buy same chocolates where the brands play an important role. Cadbury brands

have more visibility and advertisements that influence the consumers to buy

chocolates. Dairy milk is the most common brand purchased by the respondents.

Chocolate taste, quality and availability were the major factors influencing the

buying behavior of the chocolates. Consumers mostly go for the chocolates that

have sweet cocoa taste that is mostly in the Dairy Milk. Bourville is a dark

chocolate and mostly preferred by females during particular occasions. Bournville

is also used to present as gift for some well-achieved occasion in schools and

colleges. 50% respondents agreed that flavor do influence their purchase behavior

of chocolate. Kitkat having crunchy wafer inside is also preferred by many

respondents as it is perceived as just a treat product that can be consumed for fun.

Total 35 blogs and online portals were used to collect data and infer the corporate

insights on the chocolate market and the consumer perception. The reviews

inferred Cadbury as undoubted market leader in Indian chocolate industry. Nestle

is perceived to be as an alternative to Cadbury and not as a separate brand. The

consumers were well informed on the Cadbury chocolates and brand that Cadbury

is perceived as the only chocolate available. Cadbury has become acronym for

chocolates in India. The brand communication and image of Cadbury in India is

much stronger than Nestle. Nestle is slowly building its brand presence and

communicating by advertisement that has achieved much success but still it’s a

long way for Nestle to truly become a competitor of Cadbury in India.

Consumers perceive that the chocolates should be creative but have taste that is

familiar. This was one major reason for the success of Dairy Milk or Silk brand in

the market. Cadbury brand Dairy Milk has maximum visibility on the counter that

influences the purchase. Loyal consumers in chocolates however are rare as

consumers do buy new chocolates but not as frequently as their earlier brands.

CHANGING PERCEPTION

Cadbury has regular users. They do not have any particular occasion. They just

have it. Children and youngsters play an important role Decision Roles in deciding

when to have dairy milk. And now old age people also are slowly are in decision

making. Dairy Milk has changed the scenario of having Occasions sweet

sometimes. They say have it anytime including Diwali, Raksha bandhan,

Weddings Dairy Milk have absolute loyalty status. Loyalty Status As we know that

Dairy Milk is the only Brand who is the only one to promote chocolate as an

important part of Festivals as well as it changed the mind sets of the people that

chocolate is not only for kids but for all. The strategy to target adults was taken

further with the help of a brand new positioning “Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye”. For

Indians occasions and festivals have utmost importance and Dairy Milk rigorously

focused on this point and set a new trend of having Dairy Milk in place of “Mithai”

during the occasions.

CHANGING PERCEPTION OVERTIME THROUGH

ADVERTISEMENT

Cadbury is a brand that all of us have literally grown up with. Though it has been

immensely successful in its operations in the USA, UK, Australia, etc. from the

1800s, it entered the Indian market only in 1948. Since then, it has used a variety

of strategies and a string of ad campaigns to reach out to the Indian consumer.

Initially, Cadbury ads targeted children – they showed a loving father bringing

chocolates home for the children as a surprise. The ads were formulated keeping

in mind the Indian society then, where the children didn’t have money with

themselves to buy sweets and chocolates. With this, Cadbury was able to capture a

21 | P a g e

substantial part of its target segment – the kids. Next, it launched its famous ad

where a teenage girl watches her friend play cricket and jumps into the cricket

field, eating a Cadbury chocolate as soon as he hits a century. Another

advertisement showed a prospective bride with mehndi on her hands, prying open

the wrapping of Cadbury chocolate with her elbows. It showed that teenagers too

can enjoy the Cadbury chocolate.

Next came the much talked about ad featuring Cyrus Broacha. It showed people

from all age groups – a housewife in her 40s, a couple well into their 60s, and a

teenager – enjoying the chocolate as Cyrus sang in the background “Khaane walon

ko khaane ka bahaana chahiye”. In this way, Cadbury created inroads into all

possible age groups.

The basic purpose of promotion and advertising by Cadbury is to make Cadbury

synonymous with chocolate and -

• Educate the market

• Build brand awareness

• Increase consumption

• Encourage seasonal purchases

A.

Cadbury’s multi-award winning campaign - ‘The Real Taste of Life’ -

launched in the 90’s attempts to capture the child like spontaneity in every

adult. From the old man offering his wife a Dairy Milk chocolate to the

CADBURY DAIRY MILK:

22 | P a g e

dancing girl in a crowded stadium, all reflect the impulsiveness and the

spontaneity of the child in the adult.

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

'Khanewalon KO KhaneKaBahanaChahiye' 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 "PappuThe interactive

campaign for "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" bagged a Bronze Lion at the prestigious

Cannes Advertising Festival 2006 for 'Best use of internet and new media'.

-The 'Pappu Pass Ho Gaya' campaign also went on to win Silver for The Best

Integrated Marketing Campaign and Gold in the Consumer Products category

at the EFFIES 2006 (global benchmark for effective advertising campaigns)

awards.

-The idea involved a tie-up with Reliance India Mobile service and allowed

students to check their exam results using their mobile service and

encouraged those who passed their examinations to celebrate with Cadbury

Dairy Milk.

“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.

C.

Cadbury India uses the outdoor medium as an integral part of its advertising

campaigns. The 360-degree marketing campaign for the re-invented 5-Star, apart

from the TVC and brand micro site, also features a theme-based outdoor and fun

sampling and tasting sessions about the ‘right way to taste a 5-Star’.

CADBURY 5 STAR:

D.

Radio constitutes 10 per cent of the overall spends for the Rakhi campaign for

Cadbury Celebrations. Besides radio, outdoor constitutes 15-20 per cent of the

spends, while TV continues to dominate the media plan at 70 per cent. For a

campaign relying so heavily on television, there is no new TV commercial. The

company is airing last year's TVC this year as well, the rationale being that the ad –

an emotional one about a brother in a hostel being surprised by his sister – still

generates high recall.

However for the outdoor campaign, the brand targets brothers under the age of 18

years, is spread across billboards and bus shelters with creative such as, "Your

sister thinks you are a six-pack superstar", "Your sister thinks you are Mumbai's

coolest dude", or "Your sister thinks you are the real hero"; followed by: "This

Rakhi, express your love with pyaar ka shagun" and "Special Rich Dry fruit

collection for your sister".

CADBURY CELEBRATION:

24 | P a g e

The insight for the outdoor campaign was that sisters hero-worship their brothers.

The campaign uses this insight as a hook to initiate gifting by the brothers.

‘Cadbury’s Celebrations’ aims to propagate this very thought through its latest

Diwali Campaign - “Iss Diwali AapKiseKhushKarengey? KuchMithaas ho jaaye”.

The idea behind the campaign is to seed the thought of sharing & spreading

happiness to bring a spark into people’s lives this festive season.

Cadbury’s has extended its marketing strategy to the internet space and has

launched an innovative & interactive website www.meethamoments.com wherein

one can experience the meetha thought via sending of personalized e-greetings to

their friends & family.

Cadbury has created a complete 360 degree campaign to involve & engage the TG

by promoting the big thought of “Iss Diwali aapkisekhushkarengey?” This

integrated communication strategy will be rolled out to intensify the engagement

with the consumers. The mediums of communication will include television, print,

radio, online, and outdoor activities.”

Cadbury Dairy Milk Éclairs – the deliciously creamy caramel filled with a rich

"Chocolate kaMeetha Bomb". The TVC aims to showcase the new and improved

Cadbury Dairy Milk Éclairs which boasts a greater gush & and a richer chocolaty

center. In order to communicate this, the burning wick and chocolate head

explosions has been brought to play.

BRAND POSITIONING AND REPOSITIONING

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

30 | P a g e

remained etched in everyone's memory, as the most spontaneous & uninhibited

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 'Khanewalon Ko Khane

Ka Bahana Chahiye' campaign. This campaign built social acceptance for

chocolate consumption amongst adults, by showcasing collective and shared

moments.

More recently, the 'Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye' 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 and success. The interactive campaign

for "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" bagged a Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes

involved a tie-up with Reliance India Mobile service and allowed students to check

their exam results using their mobile service and encouraged those who passed

their examinations to celebrate with Cadbury Dairy Milk. The 'Pappu Pass Ho

Gaya' campaign also went on to win Silver for The Best Integrated Marketing

Campaign and Gold in the Consumer Products category at the EFFIES 2006

(global benchmark for effective advertising campaigns) awards.

Post this, Cadbury changed its strategy. Having tapped all age-groups, it wanted

to project Cadbury chocolates as a meetha – thereby trying to eat into the market

of traditional Indian sweets. Advertisements were doled out

showing Cadbury chocolate being enjoyed at every possible instance- before a

good task (Shubh kaam ke aarambh se pehle), after dinner (Khaane ke baad

31 | P a g e

meethe mein kya hai), on payday (Khush hai zamaana aaj pehli taariq hai), after

passing exams (Pappu pass ho gaya) or while just having a good day (Main khush

hun aaj khamakha). Apart from this, Cadbury always comes out with special

advertisements before important festivals like Diwali (toh iss Diwali aap kise

khush karenge) and Rakshabandhan (Cadbury Celebrations- Pyar ka

shagun). Cadbury was projected as the chocolate to eat on important as well as

happy occasions.

• Kuch meetha ho jaaye

• Shubh Aarambh

• Khaane ke baad

• Khush hai zamana

• Pappu pass ho gaya

• Main khush hun

• Diwali

• Rakshabandhan

It is because of such intelligent and innovative marketing strategies that Cadbury is

the most successful chocolate brand in the India. Even now it posts a revenue

growth of 30% annually, which is amazing.

Cadbury was the one having 70 % market shares in chocolate industry. Out of

which 30% was the Dairy Milk alone. This is because of constant re-invention of

the brand & bombarding communication towards the consumers consistently to

maintain the top position in mind recall in confectionery segment. Dairy Milk was

awarded as No.1most trusted brand in Mumbai 2005 for the edition of Brand

Equity’s most trusted Brand Survey. Dairy Milk targeted all the aspects as possible

to get into the heart of all the people, of all age groups. For this they communicated

with people through different Ad’s &Campaigns. Let us see few of them below:

Khane walo KO Khane ka Bahana Chahiye Pappu Paas Ho Gaya Shubh Aarambh

was one of successful campaigns of Dairy Milk. This means Auspicious

Beginning. With this campaign they said that for whatever you start, start it with

Dairy Milk and it will be successful. For this they chose the best to advertise:

Amitabh Bachchan.

TOOLS FOR COMMUNICATION

Dairy Milk used different media options to communicate different campaigns and

promote Dairy milk. They are Outdoor Television Radio Internet TV Advertisements

is the most popular method for Dairy Milk to show their new campaigns to people so

that they can more and more relate it with their personal lives. They also have ground

promotions in different malls. They arrange some contests also to promote their

brand.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As we know that Dairy Milk holds 30% value share of chocolate market. The

demand of chocolate is increasing day by day. And Dairy Milk is no. 1 in that race.

Indian market &specifically where the penetration of chocolates is increasing,

brings a need for efficiency in logistics and distribution. There is stiff competition

in the confectionery market due to large exposure of foreign currency rate risk,

mainly on account of import of cocoa beans, cocoa butter. Cadbury Dairy Milk is

33 | P a g e

easily available anywhere in the market. Cadbury’ success of proper distribution is

their efficiency.

PRICING STRATEGY

Dairy Milk is positioned towards age group of 4-50, and thus the price is

accordingly kept affordable. Also it is easily accessible to all categories. Price

range starts from Rs.5to Rs.20 in different sizes. Cadbury Dairy Milk fruit and nut

starts from Rs.30. Dairy Milk Silk is a premium brand and thus the price of it is

little higher that is Rs.50.

MARKET SHARE

Cadbury Dairy Milk has launched some very creative advertisements in India over

the years. More than innovative, the ads have been very relevant to the Indian

ethos. The ‘shubh aarambh’ ads which captured the Indian tradition of having

something sweet before an important occasion or ‘kuch meetha ho jaye’ which

associated Cadbury Dairy Milk with celebratory occasions. Recently, Cadbury

Dairy Milk has been airing the ‘meethe mein kuch meetha ho jaye’ campaigns

which have found a lot of favor with the audience. The ads, in typical Cadbury

style, are very heartwarming and creative.

34 | P a g e

If we look through the years, we can clearly see that Cadbury is doing everything

possible to maintain a strong hold on the Indian chocolate market. While it remains

a dominant leader with over 70% of the market share, this has eroded over the

years as competitors like Nestle, Amul and CAMPCO have made strong forays.

There was a time before and during the early 90s when Cadbury’s enjoyed an even

higher market share. This was the time when chocolates were very clearly

positioned for children. However, with the entry of global giant Nestle, two things

happened. Firstly, there was a sudden spurt of competition for Cadbury. But more

importantly, the market began to grow at a faster pace. Cadbury seized this

opportunity and started creating advertisements that were targeted towards the

‘kids in all of us’. This was a very smart move as they already had the children’s

segment all tied up. Moreover, the children of the 90s have now grown up, and

Cadbury still offers them reasons to eat Dairy Milk.

Hence, while their market share has eroded by a few points, Cadbury has

significantly improved its revenues in absolute terms by evolving a long term

advertising plan and one that is very relevant to the Indian context. With

predominantly Indian themes, special moments (remember the girl dancing on the

cricket field) and soulful music, Cadbury has really managed to connect with the

audience. The recent ‘meethe mein kuch meetha ho jaye’ campaign is simply a

continuation of this strategy to expand the market. In conclusion, Cadbury Dairy

Milk has managed to take a simple chocolate bar and create numerous associations

with it over the years. It has built up different audiences over the years, and to

every audience it offers a different meaning but one that is very relevant.

BRAND EXPLORATORY

Cadbury dairy Milk has been trying to get out of the image of “Just another

chocolate” and become something special in the minds of the people. They have

also been trying to position themselves as chocolates for all age groups and not just

kids. The campaign has successfully created a picture in the mind of the customers

that Cadbury is not just a chocolate but means of celebrations. There are two main

sources of Brand Equity and they are: Brand Image and Brand Awareness. Brand

Image is the perception of the customers about that product or service they are

using. Brand Awareness is the knowledge of the customers about that product or

service.

BRAND AMBASSADORS

As we know that previously Dairy Milk was only considered as Chocolate, but

their new campaign has changed this perception of consumers. As discussed

above now Dairy Milk is considered as Traditional sweet of Indian

36 | P a g e

culture(Mithai) which people give to their near and dear ones on the occasions

and now they use Dairy Milk as sweet (Mithai).Brand Ambassador chosen for

Dairy Milk is none other than Megastar Amitabh Bacchhan. He endorsed the

brand so successfully that everyone loved the brand much more than they did.

The endorsement has successfully captured the Indian festivals like Raksha

bandhan, Diwali, Wedding, Birthdays etc… Now people give Dairy Milk as

token of love, care and affection to their friends and family.

BRAND MANTRA OF DAIRY MILK

Dairy Milk also enjoys a great - Brand Recall value when comes to chocolates with

Milk. Dairy Milk has huge command over - its distribution network spanning

across India. Certain segment feel that price of innovations with crafted Dairy Milk

is high and compared to communication campaign that Amul Milk chocolate is

preferred. It offers quality product with Dairy Milk is somewhat lacking in

establish a clear and consistent other emerging markets. It has Brand Image over

the years. Strong commands over its brand image in India and Europe But other

places it is lacking. Dairy Milk has been able to the recent acquisition of Cadbury

which is a globally established by Kraft Foods may result in brand name known for

its somewhat negative effect on the manufacturing competency and brand.

CUSTOMER-BASED BRAND EQUITY PYRAMID

Source: http://www.surveyindia.com/brandanalysisofcadburyindia.htm

Rationale of CBBE model:

Basic premise: The power of a brand resides in the minds of the customers. The

challenge is to ensure that the customers have the right kind of experiences with

the products and services and their marketing program to create the right brand

knowledge structures i.e.

• Thoughts

• Feelings

• Images

• Perception & Attitudes

38 | P a g e

Building a strong brand involves a series of steps as part of a “branding ladder”. It

is characterized by a logically constructed set of brand “building blocks”.

We need to identify the areas of strength and weakness and to provide guidance to

marketing activities.

BRAND SALIENCE

Brand Salience measures awareness of the brand, how often and how easily the

brand is evoked under various situations or circumstances. It is the same as brand

identity i.e. who are you?

DEPTH OF AWARENESS

It measures how likely it is for a brand element to come in mind i.e. ease of

recognition and the ease with which it does so i.e. recall value.

The Cadbury brand is associated with best tasting chocolate which includes from

everything from solid blocks to chocolate filled bars and novelties. For many

people, chocolate is Cadbury and no other brand will do. The core values of

quality, taste and emotion supports the Cadbury brand. Consumers know that they

can trust a chocolate bar that carries Cadbury branding. The swirling chocolate and

„glass and a half are powerful images. They both portray a desire for chocolate

while the half full glass suggests core values of goodness and quality. The brand

has been successful in establishing the link, in the mind of the consumer, that

Cadbury equals chocolate.

BREADTH OF AWARENESS

It measures the range of purchase and usage situations in which the brand element

comes to mind.

Branded products command premium prices. Consumers are willing to pay the

premium if they believe that the brand offers levels of quality and satisfaction that

39 | P a g e

competing brands do not. Now Dairy Milk comes in Rs. 5 the campaigns of

„Pappu pass ho gaya‟ and „Miss Palampur‟ aim to popularize Dairy Milk

connecting it to various usage situations. Three consumer segments of „impulse‟,

„take home‟ and „gift‟ has been identified. Impulse purchases are usually products

bought for immediate consumption. Take Home confectionary is generally bought

in supermarket and is often driven by specific need. The specific need or usage can

be an occasion. The consumers make more rational decisions like brand influence,

price/value relationship. These areas are further subdivided for e.g. the gift sector

comprises special occasions (B‟days or festivals) and token or spontaneous gift.

BRAND PERFORMANCE

It describes how well the product meets customers‟ more functional needs. It

transcends the product’s ingredients and features to include dimensions that

differentiate the brand.

The Cadbury brand name has been existence since 1824 when John Cadbury

opened his shop in Birmingham, England. Over the years it has survived in a

highly competitive market and developed its competitive advantage. It is

successful in communicating the customers that it is still the ultimate in chocolate

pleasure. It has shown the consistency in performance. The strength of the

umbrella brand supports the brand value of each chocolate bar, thus implying how

reliable the brand is.

Cadbury’s packaging on the functional level, the pack was structurally sound to

protect the product quality in distribution and storage conditions, thus the

consumers can acknowledge the durability of the product. The economic life of the

product was mentioned in the product as per the respective food regulatory body.

40 | P a g e

Cadbury’s world famous packaging is comprised of four key elements:

1. Distinctive packaging design

2. The Cadbury corporate purple color

3. The glass and a half full of full cream milk logo

4. The Cadbury script logo

These elements convey to consumers the memorability, distinctiveness and high

quality of Cadbury products. The attractiveness of packaging alone can be

instrumental in stimulating a purchase specially impulse buyers.

The brand also comes in various attractive packages for different occasion like

„Diwali‟, „Raksha Bandhan‟, „Christmas‟ etc.

BRAND IMAGERY

It depends on the extrinsic properties of the product including the ways in which

the brand attempts to meet customer’s psychological or social needs.

The intangible association to Cadbury includes family experiences, childhood

memories. The product could be bought from supermarket on the insistence of the

child to its parents or from department store or specialty store through impulse

buying or for little pleasures. The Cadbury as a person is able to create a feeling of

warmth, the togetherness of family & friends on special occasions, to hold those

relationships in life which are of prime importance and to savor the sweet success

of winning. The core values of quality, taste and emotion are the pillars of the

brand.

41 | P a g e

The milk pouring on the chocolate bar, the icon represents the unique production

process in Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate which uses a glass and a half of full

cream

Irish milk in every half-pound, hence the unique taste of the chocolate. It serves to

identify the product, its contents and the manufacturer. The heritage that has been

passed down from the past.

BRAND JUDGMENTS

These are customer’s personal opinions about and evaluations of the brand, which

consumers form by putting together all the different brand performance and

imagery associations.

Brand Quality: Consumers trust the brand because there is certain level of quality

attached to it. The people buy chocolates during the auspicious occasion as a token

of their love tells the level of trust that the people have.

Brand Credibility: The brands like Five Star, Perk derive benefit from the

Cadbury parentage including quality and taste credentials. The flagship chocolate

brand, Cadbury Dairy Milk which is over 100 years old, is the third largest largest

chocolate brand globally with retail sales of $2 billion. Its revenue grew by 5% in

the year 2007 and by further 9% in the first half.

Brand Consideration: The brand has been considered for possible purchase and

use not only as a chocolate but it has become a substitute for sweet. The punchline

„Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye‟ justifies this. The campaign has been highly successful

with the brand endorsement of Amitabh Bachchan and consumers buy it for

occasions like

42 | P a g e

“Diwali” and “Raksha Bandhan”

Brand Superiority: The unique taste of chocolate which comes in a pure form.

BRAND FEELINGS

These are customers‟ special responses and reactions to the brand. The feelings

that are evoked by the marketing program or by other means.

Warmth

The brand evokes a soothing type of feeling. As the chocolate melts inside our

mouths, a similar soothing effect is felt inside our hearts. The commercial for the

cricket match shows how sweet success of winning can be savored by the sweet

taste of Cadbury. It also depicts fun and excitement.

Passion

It is reflected in the impulse buying nature of consumers. The commercial

featuring a girl with „mehndi‟ put on her palms has a strong desire to have

chocolates and she is adamant to have it.

Bond of love & relationships

The brand provides the consumers with an opportunity to express their love to their

family and friends. It is a time to celebrate and have few precious moments of

togetherness.

Enthusiasm

The cricket match commercial also reflects the fun & the excitement. The brand

makes the consumers feel excited.

43 | P a g e

BRAND RESONANCE

It describes the nature of this relationship and the extent to which customers feel

that they are “in sync” with the brand. It is characterized in terms of intensity, or

the depth of psychological bond that customers have with the brand, also the level

of activity engendered by this loyalty ( repeat purchase rates and extent to which

customers seek out brand information).

Attitudinal attachment

The level of attachment can be judged by the fact that the consumers feel that is a

perfect gift for special occasions. It could be used to express their token of love.

The

“little pleasures” that can be derived from the moments of family get-together.

The moment consumers think about celebration they think about the brand.

Sense of community

The consumers feel a kinship or affiliation with other people associated with the

brand. The commercial in which BigB and his childhood friend exchange their

gifts they feel how much their choices resemble and automatically a feeling of

kinship is developed. The sense of belongingness to that particular brand is

generated.

Behavioral loyalty

The repeat purchases on various occasion be it Diwali, Christmas or to express

their love or vote of thanks, only this brand comes to the consumers mind. This is

the level of loyalty that the Cadbury brand shares with it consumers.

44 | P a g e

CHAPTER- IV

SUMMARY

45 | P a g e

Cadburys has identified these brand values and adjusts its advertising strategies to

reflect these values in different markets. Its strategy can vary from increasing

brand awareness, educating potential customers about a new product, increasing

seasonal purchases, or as is currently the case in the ‘Choose Cadbury’ campaign

to highlight the positive emotional value of the brand. After identifying brand

SUMMARY:

The study reveals that we are all consciously and unconsciously affected by brands

in our daily lives. When we go to purchase a pair of training shoes we rarely make

a purely practical decision. There are numerous branded and non-branded options

available. For many people, a pair of trainers must sport a brand logo because that

will communicate certain values to other people. The confectionery market elicits

similar conscious and unconscious feelings of passion, loyalty and enthusiasm. For

many people, chocolate is Cadbury, and no other brand will do. This consumer

loyalty is critical because of the value of the chocolate confectionery market and

Because, in all markets, a small number of consumers account for a large

proportion of sales. Loyal customers are the most valuable customers to have

because they will buy your product over and over again. Branded products

command premium prices. Consumers will happily pay that premium if they

believe that the brand offers levels of quality and satisfaction that competing

products do not. The most enduring brands have become associated with both

tangible and intangible properties over time. The most successful provoke a series

of emotional or aspirational associations and values in our minds that go way

beyond the physical product.

46 | P a g e

values the marketing manager must match these to the specific market. For this

reason it is important to identify possible segments that have specific needs, and to

highlight appropriate brand values that will promote the brand in that market.

CONSUMPTION & CONSUMER LIFESTYLES

Cadbury’s core markets are currently in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New

Zealand. The Cadbury brand is very well known in these markets and consumers

have established patterns of chocolate consumption. Ireland has one of the largest

consumption rates in the world along with Switzerland. In Ireland alone, the

average person eats 8kg of chocolate and 6kg of sweets each year. In key areas

such as these, the Cadbury brand has secured significant brand status. In Ireland,

Cadbury has identified three key consumer segments of ‘impulse’, ‘take home’ and

‘gift’. These segments reflect consumers’ decision-making processes. For example,

impulse purchases are typically products bought for immediate consumption, e.g.

single bars. Take Home confectionery is generally bought in a supermarket and is

most often driven by a specific need. A specific need or usage can be an occasion,

e.g. ‘I need something for the lunchbox’. Here consumers make more rational

decisions, e.g. brand influence, price/value relationship. These areas are further

subdivided, for example the ‘gift’ sector comprises special occasions (birthdays,

Christmas, etc.) and token or spontaneous gifts. If marketers successfully identify

and isolate consumer segments in this way, it becomes easier to target products and

Advertising is a more meaningful way to increase consumption.

47 | P a g e

CHAPTER- V

CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

48 | P a g e

Research data shows that the Cadbury brand equity is highly differentiated from

other brands with consumers. Brand equity is the value consumer loyalty brings to

a brand, and reflects the likelihood that a consumer will repeat purchase. This is a

major source of competitive advantage. The Cadbury umbrella brand has endured

in a highly competitive market, and has established the link, in the mind of the

consumer, that Cadbury equals chocolate. An umbrella brand is a parent brand

that appears on a number of products that may each have separate brand images.

The Cadbury umbrella brand image consists of four icons namely the Cadbury

script, the glass and a half, dark purple color and the swirling chocolate image.

These elements create a visual identity for Cadbury that communicates the ultimate

in chocolate pleasure. Consumer research is conducted regularly so managers can

learn more about how the market perceives the brand. This research has confirmed

that the swirling chocolate and ‘glass and a half’ are powerful images. Both clearly

portray a desire for chocolate while the half full glass suggests core values of

goodness and quality.

CONCLUSION

Hence, on the basis of study it can be concluded that the success of the Cadbury

brand can be seen in how its image is continually maintained over time. Identifying

brand values and matching these to consumer lifestyles in specific market

segments can help develop a clear advertising message. In previous advertising

messages quality and taste were emphasized. Cadbury is now building on this

through its ‘Choose Cadbury’ strategy to underline the feeling a premium brand

can bring to its customers. The Cadbury brand has proven itself to be a leader in a

highly volatile and competitive market because it has successfully established,

nurtured and developed its umbrella brand and growing portfolio of products.

49 | P a g e

RECOMMENDATIONS:

WHY COMMUNICATION IS USED TO PROMOTE A BRAND?

On the basis of the facts that revealed from the study and from analysis of data, it

is recommended that as the confectionery market is full of brands that need to fight

for our attention. The role of communication is to keep a brand in the mind of the

consumer. We are constantly presented with countless brand images and messages

on a daily basis. During the lifetime of a brand, companies will develop marketing

strategies that communicate brand identity and core values to gain our attention. In

order to keep its product competitive and contemporary, these messages need to

change over time. Cadbury provides one of the most successful examples of how

an advertising

Message can be modified from one campaign to the next to attribute new values to

a brand giving consumers more reasons to buy Cadburys. Healthy brand equity or

brand strength is critical in an impulse-driven, competitive market. Advertising

plays a key role in maintaining this strength. Cadbury employs all types of

advertising from the internet to posters, from TV, radio and cinema to print media.

This same creative message is then communicated through point of sale,

merchandising, package design and public relations.

50 | P a g e

Maintain dominance in chocolate segment.

Many new players are trying to enter Indian market so it should formulate

new strategies so as not to lose market share.

New channels such as gifting, child connectivity and value for money

offering to be the key growth drives.

One new major product launch every year.

Cadbury should bring out new products for health conscious people

FDI will bring in many new products and competitors so Cadbury will have

to maintain their strong market distribution channel so as not to lose market

share.

They need to maintain high standards and should be careful that there

product remains sterile. And is not effected by insects.
