SCOPE OF THE Cadbury

When developing a Megabrand, products are chosen for inclusion on the basis of their

compatibility with the brands identity. For Cadbury, the (blocks) chocolate brands were

included as they were perceived as variants of Dairy Milk. The core proposition of the new

Dairy Milk Megabrand could be described as delivering recipes for lives upbeat occasions -

i.e. no matter what your humor or the occasion, Cadbury Dairy Milk will provide the perfect

accompaniment

Two products in the Cadbury range created a dilemma: Wispa and Caramel. Both were

standalone products with distinctive identities. Both had a loyal consumer base high should

not be abandoned. To incorporate these products into the Dairy Milk range called for a fresh

strategy.

Both were blocking chocolate and provided a fit with the Dairy Milk Megabrand. Their

inclusion provided the opportunity to further leverage.

The Dairy Milk Megabrand without alienating loyal consumer s. The new Dairy Milk Bubbly

brand benefited from a new name which better conveys the distinctive "mouth feel" of Wispa.

The new aerated chocolate product now in square form, which is also easier to break, proved

popular. Test showed that 85% of Wispa consumers were likely to buy Dairy Milk showed

that 85% of Wispa consumers were likely to buy Dairy Milk, while 89% of Caramel

customers indicated their likelihood to buy the new Dairy Milk Caramel.

Other range refreshment initiatives involved deleting some products such as Banoffi while

incorporating new variants like Cadbury Dairy Milk Orange Shots. This approach will keep

the range fresh!!!!!!!

Limitation

This study provides the data for only Cadbury pricing.

The following study does not represent overall idea of any company.

Two months time is not sufficient for study of the topic.

The data collected is from secondary source hence it is not 100%

accurate.

There can be a chance of biasness in the data selection.

CADBURY AND ITS PRODUCTS

Cadbury celebrations:

Cadbury Celebrations was aimed at replacing traditional gifting options like Mithai and dry-

fruits during festive seasons.

Cadbury Celebrations is available in several assortments: An assortment of chocolates like 5

Star, Perk, Gems, Dairy Milk and Nutties and rich dry fruits enrobed in Cadbury dairy milk

chocolate in 5 variants, Almond magic, raisin magic, cashew magic, nut butterscotch and

caramels.

The super premium Celebrations Rich Dry Fruit Collection which is a festive offering is an

exotic range of chocolate covered dry fruits and nuts in various flavours and the premium

dark chocolate range which is exotic dark chocolate in luscious flavours.

Cadbury Celebrations has become a popular brand on occasions such

as Diwali, Rakhi, Dussera puja. It is also a major success as a

corporate gifting brand. The communication is based on the emotional

route and the tag line says "rishte pakne do" which fits with the brand

purpose of strengthening your relationships with something sweet.


13/49

Cadbury five star

Cadbury 5 Star needed to introduce an element of surprise in its eat experience to gain share

among lapsed consumers. To do this the variant Cadbury 5 Star Crunchy was launched-

which still had the richness of caramel, chewiness of nougat but also contained rice crispies.

In o rder to engage youth the campaign was executed across TV, radio, internet, outdoor andprint media.

Cadbury Perk:

A pretty teenager; a long line, and hunger! Rings a bell? That was how Cadbury launched its

new offering; Cadbury Perk in 1996. With its light chocolate and wafer construct, Cadbury

Perk targeted the casual snacking space that was dominated primarily by chips & wafers.

With a catchy jingle and tongue in cheek advertising, this 'anytime, anywhere' snack zoomed

right into the hearts of teenagers.

Raageshwari started the trend of advertising that featured mischievous, bubbly teenagers

getting out of their 'stuck and hungry' situations by having a Cadbury Perk. Cadbury Perk

became the new mini snack in town and its proposition "Thodi si pet pooja" went on to defineits role in the category.

As the years progressed, so did the messaging, which changed with changes in the

consumers' way of life. To compliment Cadbury Perk's values, the bubbly and vivacious

Preity Zinta became the new face of Perk with the 'hunger strike' commercial in the mid 90's.


14/49

Cadbury Bournvita :

Cadbury was incorporated in India on July 19th, 1948 as a private limited company under the

name of Cadbury-Fry (India). Cadbury Bournvita was launched during the same year.

It is among the oldest brands in the Malt Based Food / Malt Food category with a rich

heritage and has always been known to provide the best nutrition to aid growth and all rounddevelopment.

Throughout it's history, Cadbury Bournvita has continuously re-invented itself in terms of

product, packaging, promotion & distribution. The Cadbury lineage and rich brand heritage

has helped the brand maintain its leadership position and image over the last 50 years.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel is a chocolate bar that is part of the Cadbury Dairy

Milkbrand and is made by Cadbury UKand Cadbury Ireland. The bar is sold in the United

Kingdom and Ireland. The bar was first launched in 1976, originally called Cadbury

Caramel until 2003, when it was renamed. In early 2009 it was relaunched, with

the Caramel name re-emphasised as the main on-pack brand, and the Dairy Milkbrand

reduced in size. he product is a Cadbury Dairy Milkchocolate bar semi-divided into blocks

each of which has a caramel filling. The blocks vary in shape and number according to the

size of the bar, but on all bars, the blocks are stamped with the word Cadbury on the top.

Bar and a Half

In June 2009 Cadbury launched the "Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar and a Half" range as a

replacement to the Cadbury Dairy Milk "8 chunk" across several Dairy Milk variants. The

concept is that the bar is to be more "portionable", so parts of the bar can be "saved for later"

although the bar is the same as the old 8 chunk but in Fruit and Nut, Whole Nut and Standard.

This bar has the new logo and packaging.

A similar technique has been introduced with Cadbury Double Decker and Cadbury Boost

bars. However instead of larger bars, two separate bars are packaged together and are called

"Duo". Both brands received a packaging refresh at the same time.

Cadbury Boost is a chocolate barmade by Cadbury Ireland in the Republic of Ireland, and

sold in the UKby Cadbury UKand also sold in Australia and South Africa. Its wrapper says

that it consists ofmilk chocolate with caramel and biscuit filling. The wrapper also states that

Boost is "Charged with glucose."

LITERATURE REVIEW

MHRM book author Philip kotler page no. 21

Promotion, place, price, and product. Promotion refers to what

activities you do to promote the product. This can be throughadvertising, public relations, trade shows, etc. basically, it means

anything that you do to call attention to your product and drive sales.

Perreault, Jr. & McCarthy, 2004, page no. 38

Dividing the multitude of marketing variables or mix into four distinct

categories makes it much easier to formulate a marketing strategy.

The four categories are (1) product, (2) place, (3) price, and (4)

promotion, and are commonly called the four ps. Note also that the

client is not part of, but rather is the target of the marketing mix.

Cadbury's holds its price, despite its troubles

Independent, The (London), Nov 17, 2006 byAndrew Dewson

Some traders are convinced that something is going on at Cadbury Schweppes. Despite a

"sell" recommendation from the broker Goldman Sachs on Wednesday and yesterday's

confirmation of an investigation into alleged accounting malpractice at its 50 per cent-owned

Nigerian operations, the shares still managed to close in positive territory.

The Nigerian operation is a tiny part of Cadbury's business, but the market never likes to get

wind of accounting problems. EMI Group shares lost more than 15 per cent when it

discovered accounting fraud at its Brazilian operations three weeks ago - the shares have still

not recovered.

Cadbury's closed 5p firmer at 532p, valuing the group at more than [pound]15bn, including

debt. The word among traders is that Cadbury's is poised to face a take over, most likely from

a private equity group, in what would be the largest ever UK buyout. Traders said a change of

management might be the best way for it to move forward and that could mean an attempt to

take it into private hands.

The insurance sector remained in focus following Legal& General's promise to return

[pound]1bn to investors and a round of corporate activity speculation. The Swiss investment

bank UBS raised its target for the shares to 165p as it reiterated its "buy" advice, sending the

shares 3.25p better to 149.75p. Meanwhile, Royal& SunAlliance firmed another 1.5p to close

at 153p as bid talk continued to do the rounds.

It has been five years since shares in Aggreko traded at 400p; the power supply group's stock

collapsed to 100p in late 2001, but the turnaround looks to be complete. A bullish trading

update yesterday surprised even the most upbeat analysts. ABN

Amro, Citigroup and Evolution Securities published upbeat notes as the shares climbed 19p

to close at 404p. Shares in the London Stock Exchange had another bad day on the back of

news that a consortium of investment banks is putting together a rival exchange. The shares

fell through 1,200p for the first time since the beginning of September before a late afternoon

rally saw the stock close 4p worse at 1,230p.

RESEARCH METHOLOGY

It refers to the method adopted to collect the relevant data and other information,

which forms the basis of the thesis writing. So for the effective writing of the thesis

report, the data must be quality oriented. My research is divided into two

stages:

STAGE I: Data Source

Primary Data- The relevant information has been generated from the medium of

interviews. Interview had been very helpful in analyzing the information collected

from secondary data.

Secondary Data- Secondary data represents information that already exists

somewhere, having been collected for another purpose.

The secondary data sources that came to be utilized by me in these were as follows-

I Internal Sources-

- In-house magazine

- Annual Reports of the banks


19/49

- Corporate magazines (Business baron, Times, Business Today) etc

II. External Sources-

- Library

- Fore school library

History of the company

Cadbury has been synonymous with chocolate since 1824, when John

Cadbury opened his first shop, establishing a flourishing dynasty that today

provides the world with many of its favourite brands of chocolate.

Learn about the fascinating history of chocolate:

How cacao is the Mayan word for God Food; when and how chocolate was

first introduced to Europe; how xocolatl a bitter frothy drink, beloved by

Montezuma- made the transaction into food centuries later, how its

reputation for heightening pleasure made it the stuff of myth and legend.

Discover the history of Cadbury, from its social pioneering to the perfection

of the recipe for Cadbury Dairy Milk; first launched in 1905, and still a

market leader today. Find out all there is to know about making chocolate,

and amaze yourself with the brand stories and brand timeline that show how

many Cadbury brands have been favourites since the early 1900s


22/49

When chocolate finally reached England in the 1650s, the high import duties

on cocoa beans meant it was a drink only for the wealthy. Chocolate cost the

equivalent of 50-75 pence a pound (approximately 400g), when pound sterling

was worth considerably more than it is today. Gradually chocolate became

more freely available. In 1657, London's first Chocolate House was opened by

a Frenchman, who produced the first advertisement for the chocolate drink to

be seen in London:

The history of Cadbury as manufacturers of chocolate products in

Birmingham dates back to the early part of the 19th century, when John

Cadbury opened a shop in the centre of the city, trading as a coffee and tea

dealer. Soon a new sideline was introduced - cocoa and drinking chocolate,

which he prepared himself using a mortar and pestle. His lifelong

involvement with the Temperance Society led him to provide tea, coffee and

cocoa as an alternative to alcohol, believed to be one of the causes of so much

misery and deprivation amongst working people in Britain at that time.

Fashionable chocolate houses were soon opened where the people could

meet friends and enjoy various rich chocolate drinks, many of which were


23/49

rather bitter to taste, while discussing the serious political, social and business

affairs of the day or gossiping

The Cadbury family were closely involved in the evolution of drinking

chocolate. From his grocery shop in Birmingham, where he sold mainly tea

and coffee, John Cadbury started preparing cocoa and drinking chocolate,

using cocoa beans imported from South and Central America and the West

Indies. He experimented with a mortar and pestle to produce a range of cocoa

and drinking chocolates with added sugar.

By 1831 the cocoa and drinking chocolate side of the business had

expanded, so he rented a small factory in Crooked Lane not far from his shop

and became a 'manufacturer of drinking chocolate and cocoa'. This was the

real foundation of the Cadbury manufacturing business as it is today. The

earliest preserved price list of 1842 shows that John Cadbury sold sixteen lines

of drinking chocolate and cocoa in cake and powder forms. Customers would

scrape a little off the block and mix it with hot milk or water. A solid chocolate

for eating was introduced by John Cadbury in 1849, which by today's

standards wouldn't be considered very palatable.


24/49

In 1866 George Cadbury (John 's son) brought to England a press developed

in Holland by Van Houten. The press changed the face of cocoa and chocolate

production, as it was designed to remove some of the cocoa butter, enabling a

less rich and more palatable drink to be produced. There was no longer any

need to add the various types of flour and Cadbury's new cocoa essence was

advertised as 'Absolutely pure...therefore Best'.

Established by Richard and George Cadbury, two Victorian businessmen

with great industrial and social vision, Bourneville Village is a story of

industrial organization and community planning covering well over a

century. It embraces the building of a factory in a pleasant 'green'

environment (in stark contrast to the oppressive conditions of the Victorian

industrial scene), the enhancement of employees' working conditions and

overall quality of life and the creation of a village community with a balanced

residential mix (both employees and non-employees).

George Cadbury was a housing reformer interested in improving the living

conditions of working people in addition to advancing working practices.

Having built some houses for key workers when the Bourneville factory was


25/49

built, in 1895 he bought 120 acres near the works and began to build houses in

line with the ideals of the embryonic Garden City movement.

Motivation for building the Bournville Village was two-fold. George

Cadbury wanted to provide affordable housing in pleasant surroundings for

wage earners. But as the Bournville factory grew, local land increased in value

and was ready to fall into the hands of developers. The last thing the brothers

wanted was that their 'factory in a garden' would be hemmed in by

monotonous streets.

Dame ElizabethCadbury was involved in the planning of Bourneville with

her husband, George. Her memoirs tell us how these plans became reality:

"When I first came to Birmingham and we were living at Wood Brooke,

morning after morning I would walk across the fields and farmland between

our home and the Works planning how a village could be developed, where

the roads should run and the type of cottages and buildings.

Gradually this dream became reality, houses arose and many of the first

tenants being men in Mr Cadbury's Adult School Class - which met every

Sunday morning at 8.00am in Bristol Street - who had previously lived in the


26/49

centre of the city and had never had a garden. Also workers in the factory

became tenants.

They too enjoyed their homes in the healthy surroundings, cultivating their

gardens, rewarded in many instances by splendid crops of apples from the

belt of apple trees which each tenant found at the bottom of his garden."

The consequent availability of cocoa butter led to the development of the

smooth creamy chocolate we know today.

Manufacturing process

Cadbury makes a variety of chocolates for different purposes but the two

main types are Cadbury Dairy Milk, milk chocolate and Cadbury Bourneville

plain chocolate.

The taste and texture of Cadbury chocolate are based on long traditions of

expertise in recipe and processing unique to Cadbury. Techniques are


27/49

improving all the time and new technology enables the whole process to be

finely tuned to match evolving tastes and preferences.

Production starts at the Chirk cocoa factory, where the highest quality cocoa

beans are processed to produce cocoa mass containing 55% cocoa butter plus

extracted cocoa butter, the basis for all chocolate products.

When plain chocolate is made the 'mass' goes straight to the Bourneville

factory in Birmingham while the 'mass' for milk chocolate production is taken

to the Cadbury milk factory at Marl brook, Herefordshire, in the heart of

English dairy country.

At the milk processing factory fresh liquid full cream milk is cooked with

sugar and condensed to a thick liquid. Cocoa mass is added, making a rich

creamy chocolate liquid, which is then evaporated to make milk chocolate

crumb. As these ingredients are cooked together the very special rich creamy

taste of Cadbury chocolate is produced. 95,000 tonnes of crumb a year are

produced at Marl brook to be made into chocolate at the Cadbury chocolate

factories at Bourneville, Birmingham and Somerdale, Bristol.


28/49

On arrival at the chocolate factory the crumb is pulverized by heavy rollers

and mixed with additional cocoa butter and special chocolate flavorings. The

amount of cocoa butter added depends on the consistency of the chocolate

required: thick chocolate is needed for molded bars, while a thinner

consistency is used for assortments and covered bars.

In the UK up to 5% vegetable fat is added to compensate for variations in

cocoa butter, allowing the melting properties of the chocolate to be controlled

to a precise standard, and preserving the full taste and texture of the

chocolate. Cadbury use carefully selected vegetable oils similar in nature to

cocoa butter: African Shea, Indian Sal and Malaysian Palm oils are all part of

the recipe.

Both milk and plain chocolate, which has had sugar and cocoa butter added

to the mass before pulverizing, undergo the same final special production

stages, producing the famous smoothness, gloss and snap of Cadbury

chocolate.

Cadbury Dairy milk

The story of Cadbury Dairy Milk started way back in 1905 at Bourneville, U.K., but the

journey with chocolate lovers in India began in 1948.

The pure taste of Cadbury Dairy Milk is the taste most Indians crave for when they think of

Cadbury Dairy Milk.

The variants Fruit & Nut, Crackle and Roast Almond, combine the classic taste of Cadbury

Dairy Milk with a variety of ingredients and are very popular amongst teens & adults.

Recently, Cadbury Dairy Milk Desserts was launched, specifically to cater to the urge for

'something sweet' after meals.

Cadbury Dairy Milk has exciting products on offer - Cadbury Dairy Milk Wowie, chocolate

with Disney characters embossed in it, and Cadbury Dairy Milk 2 in 1, a delightful

combination of milk chocolate and white chocolate. Giving consumers an exciting reason to

keep coming back into the fun filled world of Cadbury.

Chapter -07

CONCLUSIONIn todays competitive business environment brands have assumed a role ofgrowing importance. They can differentiate a companys products and customer

loyalty, helping to sustain profitability in the long term. The Cadbury Dairy Milk

brand has evolved into a Megabrand incorporating a range of products each with

their own identity, but now under the Dairy Milk brand. This initiative is

intended to leverage the strength of the Cadbury Dairy Milk brand to the full.

The strategy involved a packaging and range refreshment strategy which has

resulted in a unified innovative Dairy Milk brand. Having exceeded initial salestar gets by a considerable margin, the strategy can be considered a success!

Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small,

retail or B2B. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in

increasingly competitive markets. But what exactly does "branding" mean?

How does it affect a small business like yours?

Simply put, your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they

can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering

from your competitors'. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you wantto be and who people perceive you to be.

Are you the innovative maverick in your industry? Or the experienced, reliable

one? Is your product the high-cost, high-quality option, or the low-cost, high-value option? You can't be both, and you can't be all things to all people. Who

you are should be based to some extent on who your target customers want andneed you to be.

The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging andpromotional materials--all of which should integrate your logo--communicateyour brand.

Branding is all important for those of use who want to be recognized for their

name, business idea, business or product. Like the big name brands such as

Sony, Amazon, Google, Yahoo, etc. business professionals such as freelancers,

product developers, writers, pro-bloggers all need a brand to be instantlyrecognized by.

For most, the brand name is either their own name, or else the name of theproduct they developed. Not only will others know who they are dealing with,


44/49

but if we brand ourselves properly, then our name will be a synonym of quality

further down the track.

We all know that big name bloggers such as ShoeMoney, John Chow, Yaro

Starak, Maki and Daren Rowse have managed to do just that. They branded

themselves through continuously using their own name or that of their website.

Chapter -08

SUGGESTION

Price plays an important role in the purchase of a product like dairy milk they

have introduced dairy milk the most popular chocolate in Rs.5 also which is

within the reach of every customer.

Consumer prefers quality goods at lower price like Cadbury people just

introduced bytes, which is a snack, which is sweet.

Consumer is loyal to brand so its necessary to pay attention to the brand

image. In todays world most of the people see the image of the product and

then purchase it. So its necessary to make an image in market.

Consumer prefers those goods whose advertisements are shown on

television.

Price should be according to the competitors price .i.e the price of Cadbury

should be less or same as the competitors price. .

SUGGESTION

1) Training department should be their in the company, if not possible then this

responsibility should be assigned to the Pilot Plant. So that when ever required

training should be imparted to the employees under the simulated conditions. It will

enhance performance of the employee and overall profitability of the company. By

doing so the company can avert miss happenings, as it has faced in the month of

April.

2) Most of the workers are school level. Since they have to work in a very risky

environment with dangerous chemicals, so their education level should be a little bit

high. For this company should tie up with some trust or school to provide part time

education to the employees. This will enhance their analytical ability, level of

understanding and so on. This will help the employees in doing their work efficiently

and effectively and thus ultimately enhance the growth of the company.

3) Job rotation may be introduced to give the employees a diverse background.

4) Company should extend its scope of selection from reference of employees to other

like campus placement, advertisements, e-recruitment etc.

5) Rest rooms should be maintained and cleaned properly.

6) Some employees are not satisfied with the promotion policy. They complained against

the diplomatic behavior of their seniors. Thus they suggest that promotions should be

given only in genuine and fair cases and not on the basis of references of the

respective heads or on the basis of liking towards any specific employee.

7) Another way through which the HR can become more effective is by engaging the

department into other activities other than housekeeping, salary making or other

admin work. Sessions like readers Session and meditational sessions. Such

activities will not only help the HR department to come up with a change in its day to

day activities but the employees too will get a change to get a kind of stable state of

mind, peace of mind and would like to share their knowledge with each other. The

employees will come to know facts that they didnt knew earlier.


48/49

Not only this but a Gathering Sessions can be conducted where the employees can

come with their families and this will help to create a sense of close bonding with

each other and ultimately a sense of belongingness.

8) It has been found that as such in spite that theGUTKHAS AND PANMASALAS are

not allowed in the organizational premises and strictly not in the plant area still

employees carry such restrictive materials in the company as well as in the plant.

Apart from this mobile phones are also not allowed in the plant area as such the

vibrations of the mobiles in certain sensitive areas cause severe effect on the material

being manufactured.

Hence as per the research study for around I would strongly recommend that the entry of

prohibited eatables should not be allowed to the company premises. This is the responsibility

of the security so as to conduct the checking at the security gate properly so that mobile

phones or other restricted eatables are not made to enter the company premises.

For this I would strongly recommend that smoking censors or the mobile censors should be

implanted in the plant areas so that continuous watch can be kept over the workers as well as

the unauthorized staff members who carry cell phones or restricted eatables in the plant

premises.
