COMPANY OVERVIEW
HISTORY (CADBURY)
Cadbury was founded almost 200 years ago. Delve into the
fascinating history and you'll find a wealth
of interesting facts on subject including
advertising, Cadbury family, past and
present products and philanthropy.
In 1824, JOHN CADBURY opened a grocer’s
shop at 93 bull street, Birmingham. Among
other things, he sold cocoa and drinking
chocolate, which he prepared himself using a pestle and mortar.
In 1842, John Cadbury was selling no less
16 verities of drinking chocolate and 11

different cocoas the earliest preserved price
list shows that too could buy drinking
chocolate in the form of both pressed cakes
and power.
In 1895, George decided not to go for
tunnel-backs because it limited the
amount of light on the houses. Instead he
chose rectangular cottages, each one with
a large garden. In 1895, 143 cottages were
built on the land he had bought privately,
a total of 140 acres.
The Cadbury script logo, based on
the signature of William Cadbury,
appeared first on the transport fleet

in 1921. It was quite fussy to start
with and has been simplified over
the years. It wasn’t until 1952 that it
was used across major brands.
History of Cadbury in INDIA

them distributing in the Indian market. After 63 years, it is having five companies at THANE
(Pune), Malanpur (Gwalior), Bangalore, Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) and 4 sales offices in (NEW

JUSTIFICTION:
This title has been chosen because this project explains the reactions and preferences of
Indian youths towards the Cadbury’s what are the attractive factors of the Cadbury’s and
how they lure the Indian youths is studied here.
The chocolate itself is sweet without being sickly. It’s creamy but not so much that you
can’t taste the chocolate. It’s filling but simultaneously Moorish.
Cadbury has always tried to keep a strong association with milk, with slogans such as "a
glass and a half of full milk in every half pound" and advertisements that feature a glass of
milk pouring out and forming the bar.
A particular product in the Dairy Milk line is made with exclusively milk chocolate. In
2015, Dairy Milk was ranked the best selling chocolate bar in the UK. [2]
Cadbury's chocolate tastes like chocolate, "whereas Hershey's chocolate tastes like
wax.

CONSUMER PREFERENCE
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to
purchase, from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a
successful marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must
also know the time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase,
so that he may store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the
consumers. Gone are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer’s beware
or when the market was mainly the seller’s market. Now the whole concept of
consumer’s sovereignty prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell
whatever the consumer likes. In this sense, “consumer is the supreme in the market”.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or
international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect the
demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the
production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and
success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences, particularly
economics. It assumes a real or imagined "choice" between alternatives and the
possibility of rank ordering of these alternatives, based on happiness, satisfaction,
gratification, enjoyment, utility they provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source
of motivation. In cognitive sciences, individual preferences enable choice of
objectives/goals.
The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers
make buying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the
goods they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of any
company or product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration towards
consumer preference.

SCOPE OF STUDY
As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as
breathing. Despite of the fact that learning is all pervasive in our lives,
psychologists do not agree on how learning takes place. How individuals
learn is a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teach consumer
in their roles as their roles as consumers. They want consumers to learn
about their products, product attributes, potential consumers benefit,
how to use, maintain or even dispose of the product and new ways of
behaving that will satisfy not only the consumer’s needs, but the
marketer’s objectives.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of
consumer preferences, perception and consumption of Cadbury and
Chocolates. There are many other brands of chocolates available but my
study is limited to major players of chocolates leaving behind the others.
The scope of my study is also restricts itself to KOLKATA region only.

directly from respondent with the help of structured questionnaires.
2. Secondary Source: The secondary data was collected from internet, References from
Library.

2. Sample size mostly taken from college is about 100 students. Simple random
sampling is employed.
Data analysis:

technique that I have used is bar technique.
A STUDY OF CONSUMER B EHAVIOR TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK Page 17
Limitation of study:
• Data of only 100 youths is collected, because of scarcity of time
• Age group of 18-25 is taken. Elders or children may have different
opinion about the products of Cadbury’s
• Lack of response by some youths to provide the data
• There is scope for further research, and is detailed study can be
attempted in this area.

ABOUT CHOCOLATE
CONSUMPTION OF CHOCOLATE IN INDIA:
Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is
around 160 gems in the urban areas, compared to 8-10 kg in the developed
countries. In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolate in India are consumed as
indulgence and not as a snack food. A strong volume growth was witness in
the early 90’s when Cadbury repositioned chocolates from children to adult
consumption. The biggest opportunity is likely to stem from increasing the
consumer base. Leading players like Cadbury have been attempting to do this
by value for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.

more elements due to which the consistent Branding of Dairy Milk is so very popular.
Its different Advertisements, its punch lines etc… It has always kept a strong association
with Milk, with slogans such as “a glass and half of full cream milk in every half pound.”
And also advertisement which featured a glass of milk pouring out and forming the
Dairy Milk bar. Also the ad campaigns are also the important element of Dairy Milk. It
made chocolate an eating habit among the consumers, especially the adults. Long back
it was a belief that chocolate is only for kids. But Dairy Milk changed this belief. Also
they changed the trend of Sweets (Mithai) during the occasions like Diwali, New Year
etc… Dairy Milk brought a new trend that whether any occasion, Dairy Milk is best for
all. It also gave some famous dialogues from the ads which people remember always.
They were also the core brand elements of Dairy Milk. Let us see them below: The Real
Taste of Life- A girl dancing on Cricket Field
Khane walo ko Khane ka Bahana Chahiye
Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye
Pappu Paas ho Gaya
Aaj Pehli Tareekh Hai
Shubh Aarambh
All these above dialogues were forming the very famous and popular ads of Dairy Milk. By
this ad they wanted to covey to the people that for eating Dairy Milk they do not have to
wait for any occasion. They can just have it. Whether they are happy or Sad, But Dairy
Milk can be taken in any of the mood.
A STUDY OF CONSUMER B EHAVIOR TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK Page 24
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 command 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.

Product life cycle of CDM
The product life cycle model helps marketers identify the different stages that the sales
and profits of a product go through during the course of its lifetime. There are five
stages to the product life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, saturation and decline.
1. Introduction: Sales are slow as the product is not yet known. Costs are high due to
heavy marketing spend to create awareness. Emphasis is on advertising and
distribution. The Cadbury Dairy milk launched by Cadbury in 1905 is an example of
a brand at the introduction stage.
2. Growth: This stage shows growing market acceptance and increasing profits.
Competitors begin to enter the marketplace. The business concentrates on
optimizing product availability. The Cadbury Dairy milk is the market leader
in chocolate market with 30 % market share example of brand at growth
A STUDY OF CONSUMER B EHAVIOR TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK Page 26
stage.
3. Maturity: The rate of sales growth slows down as the product has been widely
distributed and sold. The company now focuses on creating brand extensions and
promotion offers to boost sales. New product research is critical to ensure future
sales. The Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate range is an example of creating brand
extensions brand at the maturity stage.
4. Decline: Sales slow down dramatically and profits fall off. The product may be
dropped to make way for new products and the cycle recommences. So far CDM
has not reached at this stage because of extension in maturity stage.

CONCLUSION
After the data analysis from both the sources: primary and secondary data, it can be
concluded that in India Cadbury’s is enjoying its success to a great extent beside the fact
that other competitors, mainly local, are trying hard to impress the youths of India. Nestle
is the biggest competitor of Cadbury’s and they face cut throat competition internationally
but in India there is not any such brand that is near to the Cadbury’s when it comes to
market share.
The advertisements are one of the important factors to attract the customers and
Cadbury’s is doing well in it. Its Silk advertisements were so popular that it created more
demand than the supply for that product. Also, the price has n number of ranges. From Rs.
5 chocolate to Rs. 500 rich dry fruit collection- mention the price and they have the
product of desired range. Cadbury’s surely knows how to band the customers with their
gift boxes.
Cadbury’s has 70% share in the Indian market and the reason for this is its continuous
innovation and techniques to attract the customers and make them brand loyal. Other
brands may take over Cadbury’s one day but not in near future.
RECOMMENDATION
Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly people
get attracted through television only.
Cadbury should concentrate on the shape of a chocolate.
People are unsatisfied with the price and quantity of chocolate so companies should
concentrate in this regard also.
They need to maintain high standards and should be careful that there products
remains good and is not effected by insects.
They also fixed their products price that all kinds of consumers can afford it.
Customer’s complaints should be welcomed & handled effectively. A quick response
to customers complaint can bring appositive impact on part of business firms
