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

Cadbury began its operation in 1948 by importing chocolate sand then re-packing

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

Currently Cadbury India operates in three sectors viz. Chocolate Confectionery, Milk Food Drinks and in the Candy category.

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.

Page 17: Rajeev cadbury project

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

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.

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

Page 26: Rajeev cadbury project

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.

Under product research I came to know about the

modification which consumers wants as to the quality, packing, shape, color, and

quantity etc of their favorite chocolate.

PRICING RESEARCH:

This includes ability to consume, to pay for the product, how

much a person can spend on his/her favor chocolate. In this I have tried to find out

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
