OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Cadburys success lies in their management .They use different type of management in order to
get best out of their labor and achieve goals successfully.As per Christopher and
Sumantra,”Todays operating environment in many worldwide businesses demands more than
efficient central management and flexible operations”.Cadburys organizational style lies between
hierarchical and flat structure but more of democratic .They does not have many layers in flat
structure.So decision making is very fast and clear. In hierarchical ,decisions are made from top
and passed on to the lower staff.According to cadburys,” instructions from manager are passed
on to the clerical support assistants”.Below they are disussed in detail :

Autocratic management

Democratic management

Consultative management

Paternalistic management
a) AUTOCRATIC MANAGEMENT:
In this management decision is made by bureaucratic or a manager without consulting any
subordinates.Decision making is fast because no other staff is involved to give new ideas or
suggestions and well managed business is an outcome .As per Peter (2006),”Oxford english
dictionary call Autocracy as absolute government by one person”.Centralization management is
their trait in this .They control the rights and duties of other divisions and departments.Figure 2
shows autocratic style of management :

Staff

b) DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT:
In democratic, staff work in a team.Workers give different idea and suggestions .This
management is beneficial for cadburys because it helps them to get more from their workers by
motivating them.Emloyees manufacture but work in this management is bit slow in comparison
to autocratic because time is wasted in collecting idea. ISSUES AND CONCERN:

Though being a giant organization in confectionery market and well know- how of their vision,
mission and strategy, Cadburys faced numerous problems as well.

Problems Of Past:
They went through a problem in there HR department because of unskilled employees,
competition from externals and workers turnover percent was rising, but somehow Cadburys
dealt with this problem by giving them incentives, pay leaves and benefits. Their staffs idea and
suggestions were also listened in order to make them feel that they are a family.

Cadburys entry into French market was another big problem due to behavior of French consumer
.According to BBC news (March, 2000) Cadbury asked Kraft to take over there French gums
and sweets products in order to gain French market. As per chief executive John Sunderland,
“Kraft’s foods give us entry into French sweets and gums market “.

Cadburys journey from 1824 till date showed a number of ups and downs, today it is world’s
number one chocolate producing company. After gaining good profit and image their products
reached a maturity level but before their product show decline in a graph they introduced
Cadburys celebration pack and bandhan (Indian market) in order to again get a growth stage.

S Introduction Growth Maturity Decline

TIME

Figure 7: Product Life Cycle (PLC)

CURRENT PROBLEMS:
The working class want and hunger makes them keep working hard for a better life. Over 200
years’ machines replacing men and still growing. Cadburys employ more than 46,000 workers
all over the globe. Each Cadburys factories have one HR in order to provide training, incentives
and to solve staffs grievances. But recently Cadburys replaced their workers by effective
machines which lead to unemployment .Poverty, pauperism and misery increased all over.HR
also facing problem in finding skilled labor which led to skill-gap. Even competition from other
organization creates a shortage of skilled workforce.

As per Margaret Heffernan in March 2010, trust is the driving force for everything, two months
back when negotiation was going on between Cadburys and Kraft then Kraft promised that they
won’t close Cadburys production unit having 400 workforces. But after a takeover, Kraft broke
their promise which leads to protest from Cadburys staff all over UK”. In spite of facing
opposition during acquisition, Kraft failed to gain confidence in consumer’s eye and declined in
reputation. Kraft’s forget to give importance to the culture .To overcome this complication Kraft
should gain trust and respect by breaking no more promise otherwise this will leads to failure of
Kraft’s business in UK.

Apart from this, Cadburys started facing problem in terms of health problem. People are more
towards eating healthy snacks. Obesity in kids and trend towards the healthy life, creating a
problem in the industry.

Figure 10: Obese Children (Estimated) Number of children between 2-15 (“000″s)

Previously all snacks were asked to carry clear warnings of calories on their packaging .As per
David Hinchliffe (MP, Chairman, Health Select Committee), reported by BBC news (27
November,2003) that “consumer should know, how much they have to burn after intake of so
much calories”. RECOMMENDATION OF ACTION:
Management:
Building relationship with Cadburys
Kraft acquired Cadburys under crucial conditions .Further; closed down of Cadburys production
unit leads them to face more criticism. To cope up with this problem, their management should
act as a corporate .They should know about a culture of the alien country .Where, how and what
they want should be clear to them .As per Robert J.Aiello and Michael D.Watkins, reported in
Harvard business review (November-December 2000),”That most of M & A fail due to corporate
manager’s behavior, they are quick in everything, they want to buy this company then they start
searching what it’s worth, offer less and see what they can get it”. There should be a strong team
who are responsible for taking decision and responsible for explaining others about the issues
and progress. According to Ronald and Suzanne, “successful companies have an integrating
manager which is temporary in some and their job is to show a way out of critical situation”.
Whenever there is any problem or another critical situation in Kraft’s future they should be ready
with their special integrating managers .He is a personnel who is having a world class
experience, having good management skills and deep knowledge of a company. They make a
structure and become a social communication between the two companies.

Employment to the labors

As per Jerry E.,” Labor intensive techniques should be appreciated due to less cost in production
(cheap labor). And in many industries, labor is plentiful in accordance to the capital. For
underdeveloped countries, labor force is the main force for the production”. Company before
replacing labor force should look for the cost of labor and machines. It won’t be worthwhile if a
little inclusion of labor will cost less. Cadburys replaced labor but numerous labors are needed in
order to build machines .It’s not that machinery replaced labor it’s the organization, otherwise
labor and machinery can be made to work together effectively .As per Michael,”factory workers
are more efficient than homeworker because of more wide use of machinery. But slow worker
can be made efficient and wages increased without new machinery’s. Cadburys can skilled labor
by increasing wages “.

Health Issue:
Dietary and Sugar Free Products

Cadbury versus Whey

In 2004, World Health Organization reported that obesity touched a peak point on global
level.Dietary product showed a tremendous growth. There are few chocolate companies who
have launched dietary products like Whey chocolate company (source-
www.wheychocolate.com ) -“The biggest breakthrough in chocolate innovation! Your taste buds
won’t know the difference, but your body will”.
Source: www.wheychocolate.com
It is clear that Cadburys need an innovation otherwise there product life cycle is near to the end.
Cadburys have an opportunity that it is already known all over ,once they introduce fat free and
sugar free products it won’t take them long to capture the market.

Figure 16: Shows assumed Cadburys sugar free (future)

Cereals versus Cadburys

As trend is shifting towards more of cereals intake, Cadburys should also introduce there
breakfast product line, in order to wipe them or share part of their profit.

As per Mintel report, Kellogg’s lead two markets, manufacturing and retail share markets.
However there is a decline in some sector of cereals as well but it’s not in worst condition
though. There are two sector s, children and adult sector which are still growing up. Especially in
UK, there is upward trend. And if Cadburys enter into cereals they should be careful about the
market. Cadburys should have a strong management and good strategy to overcome them.

History of CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT


To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY”, the global leader in the chocolate confectionery market, began
in 1824 when a young Quaker named John CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” ope
ned up a shop in Birmingham. John sold coffee, tea, drinking chocolate
and cocoa at his shop. Believing that alcohol was a main cause of poverty,
John hoped his products might serve as an alternative. He also sold hops and
mustard. Like many Quakers John had high quality standards for all of his
products.

At that time in England, Quakers were prohibited from attending


university, since it was affiliated with the established church, and their pacifist
beliefs kept them from joining the military. With few opportunities available,
Quakers often went into business-related fields and/or devoted their time to
missions of social reform.

By 1842 John was selling 11 kinds of cocoa and 16 kinds of drinking chocolate.
Soon
John’s brother Benjamin joined the company to form CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Brothers
of Birmingham. The CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” brothers opened an office in London and
received a Royal Warrant (one of many) as manufacturers of chocolate and
cocoa to Queen Victoria in 1854. Six years later the brothers dissolved their
partnership because of John’s failing health and the death of his wife.

They left the business to John's sons George and Richard. John devoted
the rest of his life to social work and died in 1889. George and Richard
continued to expand the product line, and by 1864, they were pulling a profit.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”’s Cocoa Essence, which was advertised as "absolutely pure and
therefore best," was an all-natural product made with pure cocoa butter and no
starchy ingredients. Cocoa Essence was the beginning of chocolate as we
know it today. The brothers soon moved their manufacturing operations to a
larger facility four miles south of Birmingham. The factory and area became
known as Bourneville.
With CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY”’s continued success in chocolate, George and
Richard stopped selling tea in 1873. Master confectioner Frederic Kinchella
was appointed to share his recipe and production secrets with CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” workers.
This resulted in CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” producing chocolate covered nougats, bonbons
delices, pistache, caramels, avelines and more.

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY” manufactured its first milk chocolate in 1897. Two years later
the Bourneville factory employed 2,600 people and CADBURY COMPANY
WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” was incorporated as a
limited company.

During World War I, more than 2,000 of CADBURY COMPANY


WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s male employees
joined the Armed Forces. CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” supported the war effort, sending warm
clothing, books and chocolate to the soldiers. CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” supplemented the
government allowances to the dependants of their workers. When the workers
returned, they were able to return to work, take educational courses, and
injured or ill employees were looked after in convalescent homes. During this
period trade overseas increased, and CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” opened its first overseas
factory near Hobart, Tasmania. The next year CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” merged with JS Fry & Sons,
a past market leader in chocolate.

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY” supported the war effort during World War II by converting
parts of its factory into workrooms to manufacture equipment like milling
machines for rifle factories and parts like pilot seats for Defiant fighter planes.
Workers plowed football fields to grow crops, and the CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” St.
John’s Ambulance unit helped people during air raids. Chocolate was
considered essential for the Armed Forces and civilians. Rationing finally
ended in 1949.

In 1969 CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS


MARKETING STRATEGY” merged with Schweppes to form CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”
Schweppes. Schweppes was a well-known British brand that manufactured
carbonated mineral water and soft drinks. The merged companies would go on
to acquire Sunkist, Canada Dry, Typhoo Tea and more. Schweppes Beverages
was created, and the manufacture of CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” confectionery brands was
licensed to Hershey.

Today CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS


MARKETING STRATEGY” Schweppes is the largest confectionery
company in the world, employing more than 70,000 employees. In 2006 the
company had over $15 billion in overall sales. In March of 2007, CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”
Schweppes announced that it intends to separate its confectionery and
beverage businesses. With almost 200 years in the business, CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”
Schweppes will continue to prosper in the coming decades.

OVER ALL TURN OVER


The confectionary industry in India is in its growth stage. This
marketing Research data from the industry shows that the industry has been
making impressive growth in the Indian economy. The confectionary industry
is divided into the flowing specific industrial sectors: Chocolate, Hard-boiled
candies, Éclairs and toffees, Chewing gums, Lollipops, Bubble gums, and
Mints and lozenges (Laura, 2008).

The total confectionary market is valued at about 41 billion Indian


Rupees. It has a total turnover of about 223500 tones of confectionary
produced every year. This is a huge overall turnover which is equal to that of
established markets. Most the confectionary are consumed in the urban areas.
The urban market constitutes about 73 percent of the total market. This is a
skewed market share compared to the rural market which accounts for about
27% of the total market.

This market data shows that the rural market has not been well tapped
into. With more than 50 percent of the Indians living in the rural areas, it
means that there is a high potential in the rural market (CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”,
2008).On the product share of the market, hard boiled candy accounts for
about 18% of the market, Éclairs and Toffees has about 18% of the market
share, while gums and mints and lozenges are at par accounting for 13 percent
of the market share each.

However chocolate has recorded the highest market growth rate


recording about 23 percent growth rate. This is a higher growth rate compared
to other markets in the world. However the overall sugar confectionary
segment in the Indian market has been declining with a total decline of about
19 percent recorded in 2007 (Laura, 2008).
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” with a number of products including Daily Milk, Perk, Gems, 5
Star, Celebration, Bytes, Dairy Milk Éclairs, Éclairs Crunch, Mr. Pops and
Halls is the leading player in the chocolate segment, Éclairs segment,
Lollipops, and the Mints Segment (CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”, 2008).

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY” is also the leading player in the milk beverage segment which is
valued at 16.1 billion Rupees. This segment has an annual turnover of about
63,000 tones and has been growing at a rate of 10.1 percent. Here CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” is the
main player with CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” Bournvitta and CADBURY COMPANY WITH

is capitalizing on the success of its global "Eyebrows" campaign with a
Canadian print and OOH campaign called "Eyebrow Language."

Targeting the younger end of the adult demographic, the campaign's

creative is based on the "Eyebrows" TV spot, in which two kids with crazy

eyebrows pose for a photo. The "Eyebrow Language" creative, made

exclusively for the Canadian market, features ‘brows in different shapes that

readers can translate into letters and words. Depending on the medium, the

message either offers the reader a chance to win a prize or, in the print ads, to

participate in a stunt executed at a specific time and location. On Monday, the

decoded newspaper ad invited readers, hundreds of whom showed up, to a


sidewalk at College Park in Toronto, where they were to twirl, clap and yell

"chocolate" to win a prize.

The media buy, handled by Cossette with creative by The Hive, are
focused on Toronto and Vancouver, and include daily commuter newspapers,
a billboard at YongeDundas Square in Toronto, transit ads in both cities and
an online banner buy. Launched last week, the commuter-paper ads are
running three days a week for four weeks, changing each time, as are the OOH
ads.

"We really wanted to make sure this had high impact with the
consumer," Nina Purewal, brand manager, CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Dairy Milk, tells MiC. "This
is a very engaging promotion and, as you can see as you go through the
elements, once [people] have committed to the promotion and decoding the
messages, they're really committed. It's really all about high engagement."

The campaign has also taken over the Dairy Milk website, which opens to a
secret eyebrow message and Eyebrow Language decoder overlay. The site
also includes extra phrases to decode and a ringtone of the song from the ad to
download. Visitors can also watch the original
"Eyebrows" ad that first aired in Canada Sept. 14.

MARKETING STRATEGY” in the England and
other Europeans Countries.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” Schweppes faced opposition to the deal in several countries.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” Schweppes is to keep control of its soft drinks brands in most of
Europe instead of selling them to Coca-Cola, following concerns about delays
in winning approval from European regulators. Under the original £1.14bn
deal, announced in December last year, Coca-Cola was to buy all of
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”'s drink brands except those in the US, France and South Africa.

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY” has now abandoned plans to sell the brands in another 20
European markets, fearful that such a move would be blocked by competition
watchdogs.

The countries where CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To


ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Schweppes will now retain control include
Belgium, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands and Germany which
was reportedly ready to reject the plan later this week.

The companies still hope to receive approval for the sale in the UK and

Ireland and 98 other countries worldwide. CADBURY COMPANY WITH

RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” chief executive John


Sunderland said both companies had researched potential regulatory hurdles in

20 countries before announcing their plans in December.

However, they now faced lengthy and complex regulatory resistance

against the deal in some European countries which would "probably result in

unacceptable delay". The delays have also forced the companies to revise their

aim of having the entire sale completed by the middle of this year. Instead,

they now expect the deal to be finalised by July only in about half the

countries which have already given their approval or where regulatory

clearance is not required.

In the early 90’s, indulgent chocolates were only seen as a child’s


heavenly dream - only rewarded for good behaviour, or perhaps even for a
bribe. However, in the mid 90’s a new campaign was released, (‘The Real
Taste of Life’) re-defining the outlook from “just for kids” to the “kids in all
of us”. This new campaign brought out the forgotten child in every adult,
flushing back memories of the very first moment they tasted chocolate.
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING

and “’shared good feels’”.

CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO ITS MARKETING


STRATEGY” PAKISTAN

Confectionery and Chocolate industry of Pakistan in 2009 is an

analysis of branded (domestically produced) confectionery and chocolate

market of Pakistan. The article reveals close estimates of sales turn over of

major active players in the industry. It also examines contemporary trends in

the local confectionery and chocolate market, with an emphasis on providing

some useful information about the structure, norms, challenges and

competitive landscape of the industry. Before proceeding to our core topic, it

would not be unwise to have a look at the snapshot of country’s socio-

economic indicators.

Despite Pakistan’s confectionery and chocolate industry has enjoyed

an emerging and growing trend in the recent past yet its size and growth

pattern has been far inconsequential compared to other countries of Asia-


pacific region. The industry has grown with an average annual rate of 6.5 to

7.5 % during 2002-2008. Domestic brands dominate the market accounting for

more than 85% of total value sales of the industry.

The industry as a whole can be divided between two broader sectors

namely organized sector (branded segment) and un-organized sectors (generic

segment). The branded segment is more of monopolistic in nature where there

are nine prominent, active players in the competitive landscape of this sector.

The branded confectionery and chocolate market is highly price elastic


and growing with the bulk of sales concentrated in mid-price range products.
Urban markets account for the major share and also for a higher penetration
rate.

The industry has faced “coin-barrier” issue in sugar confectionery


products at least three times during last three decades when all key players
unanimously agreed to increase their products’ price due to escalating prices
of raw materials (first from 25 paisa to 50 paisa- in mid
80’s, than 50 paisa to Rs. 1 – in mid 90’s and lastly from Rs.1 to Rs.2-in late
2008) whereby the active players of the industry were compelled to raise their
prices not less than any thing but 100% because next jump to coin / price
denomination was such that they had no way out. It would be interesting for
the readers to learn that such moves however have always been proved to be a
“bitter pill” for the industry as it brought immense resistance from consumers
and trade. In some of the cases decline in sales as a reaction of price increase
was so huge that it forced to leading brands to take their decision back yet they
were not able to retrieve their original volumes again. Mitchell’s Milk Toffees
and Kidco 4ever are classic examples. To avoid and defer this situation (up to
last extend) pro-active companies in Pakistani confectionery industry adopt
three kinds of strategies, without reducing or with slightly reducing trade
margins. Namely reduce the no. of units per pack, unit size, and packaging ( in
an endeavour to reduce cost) Compromising in product quality by reducing
qty and/or quality of expensive raw material by using close substitute that is
available relatively at cheaper price as a replacement of expensive raw
materials.

Distribution and Selling strategy:


About (70-80) % sugar confectionery and chocolate sales generate
through wholesale channel depending upon the nature of product and
strategies of manufacturing companies. Almost all but precisely Hilal and B.P
rely much on wholesale channel to generate bulk chunk of their total sales. To
support their sales through this channel they advertise heavily on electronic
media to create brand pull for their brands and subsequently it force retailers
to buy these brands from whole sale. The underlying reason behind limited
coverage in retail sector by these two companies is they do not have premium
priced items that could yield sufficient revenues to make retail distribution
viable for their distribution partners so they do a limited coverage in retail
sector. Since these companies themselves do not emphasize on retail
penetration so their distributors also take an escape route and adopt the way of
easy selling through WS. However there are companies like CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”,
Candyland, Mitchell’s and Mayfair that are fully aware of the importance of
retail penetration .Hence these companies pay due importance and attention to
retail coverage and subsequently allocate resources for retail sector. As stated
earlier the emphasis of Hilal and B.P has always been on building consumer
pull through mass media advertising (mostly through television) and pushing
their brands through wide-spread network of distributors and wholesalers
throughout the nation.
This combination of “Push & Pull “ has proved to be a successful tool
in their cases because the nature of their brands also support this strategy as
they produce products of mass market with as low price as Rs.1 , 2 and
beyond. Because of this pricing strategy their products are equally popular in
rural and urban towns among middle and lower middle class. B.P and Hilal
having this advantage enjoy the benefits of a wide-spread distribution network
in 300+ towns and over 350 distributors nation wide (as they have more than
one distributors in some towns). They always try to adopt cost leadership
strategy and generate revenues through high volumes of sales. Frequent
launches, re-launches, re-introduction of old brands with slight modifications,
withdrawals, adjustments in packaging, product designing and even recipe
change are a common phenomenon in the brands of these two major
companies. Contrary to this CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To
ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s , Candyland and Mitchell’s believe on
establishing brands and brand equity and therefore protraction of quality up to
last possible extend remains their top priority.

Until mid 80’s chocolates was supposed to be the product of upper and
upper middle class segment. In 1983 Mitchell’s Jubilee was launched first
time in Pakistani market at Rs.3.50 per bar. Due to its attractive packaging,
quality, affordable price and an intact media support the brand received un-
matched reception and became a success story in Pakistani industry. The brand
is still very popular among masses and available in three different price points
at Rs.2,
Rs.5 and Rs.10. In early 2000 CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To
ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s introduced quality products with
affordable price. The launch of Dairy Milk (Rs.5/-), 5 Star (Rs.5/-), Velvet
(Rs.5/-) and Perk (Rs.3) with attractive dispensing-chillers was the turning and
revolutionary point for making chocolates the choice for every one. The role
of CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”’s for expansion of chocolate market in Pakistan will always be
written in golden words.

because of strong monopolistic competition and influx of cheap imported
brand through gray-Channels.

1) Amazin’ Raisin:-

Milk and plain chocolate covered nougatine and caramel bar with
raisins1971-1978 were the glory days of the Amazin’ Raisin bar. Who can
forget the cockney knees-up of a TV jingle: ‘It’s amazin’ what raisins can
do/Full of goodness and it’s all for you/It’s got two kinds of chocolate and
caramel too/And it’s got raisins and they’re good for you’. Try mentioning it
to raisin fans of a certain age and see them come over all wistful.

2) Aztec:-

Milk and chocolate nougatine and caramel – a feast of a bar. Hugely


popular when it hit the shops in 1967, Aztec made a big impact, with displays
including a life-size cardboard Aztec warrior in 100,000 shops, and a lavish
TV ad filmed at a real Aztec temple in Mexico. Alas, like its namesake, this
mighty bar was conquered in the early 70s, making just a brief reappearance in
2000 – will its like ever be seen again?
3) Boost Coconut& Boost Peanut:-

Milk chocolate covered bar with a toasted coconut and caramel centre.
(19851994).Caramel and peanut bar covered in milk chocolate. (1989-1994)
Launched in 1985, the mighty Boost evolved over time with various versions
on sale including Coconut Boost and Peanut Boost. 2003 even saw a Boost
featuring the caffeine-rich Guarana berry appearing on the shelves, as well as a
Boost Glucose for extra energy. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer’s muchloved
Lone Ranger ad (complete with surreal strap line ‘it’s slightly rippled with a
flat underside’) was a classic of its time. Five Boys Milk Chocolate.

4) Milk chocolate bar:-

Launched in 1902 it was once the most famous chocolate bar in the world,
with its five pictures of a five-year-old lad called Lindsay Poulton showing
emotions from Desperation (no chocolate), to Realization (finding out he’s got
Fry’s Chocolate). Apparently at the photo session, Lindsay wasn’t looking
miserable enough for the first photo, so his father (the photographer) tied a
cloth soaked in nasty smelling ammonia round his neck to achieve the
‘Desperation’ face! The bar was retired in 1976.

5) Fry’s Five Centers

Five assorted fruit flavored crèmes. If you’ve tried Fry’s Chocolate


Crème, imagine a bar like that but with five different flavored fillings:
raspberry, lime, vanilla, coffee and orange. You’re imaging Fry’s Five
Centers, which launched in 1934 but went to the great conveyor belt in the sky
in 1992.
Fuse Raisins, peanuts, crispy cereal and fudge pieces fused in
delicious CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY” milk chocolate.
Fuse exploded into the UK marketplace on ‘Tuesday’ 24th September
1996. It was a chocolate bar with a difference – instead of having a chocolate
coating on the outside; the yummy ingredients were suspended right the way
through it. 40 million bars were sold in the first week, and within eight weeks
it was the UK’s favorite’s confectionery. Alas, ten years later and Fuse fizzled
off the shelves, but it’s fondly remembered to this day.

6) Inspirations:-

Textured fruit flavored centers covered in milk, white and dark


chocolate. Inspirations launched in 1989, in a carton with sliding drawers.

some covered in chocolate and some not. These Lucky Numbers each had an
individual number on the wrapper, hence the name. The brand was retired in
1968. 8) Milk Tray Bar:-

Eight Milk Tray Chocolates, in a bar. Imagine a box of Milk Tray Chocolates. Now
imagine picking eight of the most popular chocolates – keeping their distinctive
shapes – and putting them in a bar! The Milk Tray Bar had a cult following back in
the 1970s and people still reminisce about it to this day. It was originally launched in
1947 and was a favorite through to 1981.
9) Skippy:-

Milk chocolate with caramel and wafer centre launched in 1960.

‘It’s got a crunch in the biscuit and a munch in the middle’. A classic 1960s
TV ad for Skippy shows a Swinging London couple getting off their scooter

MARKETING STRATEGIES

Meaning:-

• The marketing strategy is the means of achieving the corporate


objectives.
• It gives messages to the stakeholders, or publics. It says:
"This is where we are going", and
"When we will get there", and "This is our stance".

Types of Marketing Strategy:-


• One of the most fundamental issues which a company must decide
on is the type of marketing strategy, or approach, that they will
adopt.
• There are three basic marketing strategies which any company can
follow:

Undifferentiated marketing
Differentiated marketing Concentrated marketing.
Undifferentiated Marketing:

• Here there is a standard, unchanged product and a standard,


unchanged marketing effort.
• This strategy can reduce costs (e.g. marketing, production) but will
encounter wastage in promotional activity and possibly in
distribution.

Differentiated Marketing

• Here the company segments its markets and offers modified products
to different segments.
• The marketing mix elements will also be modified to suit the
requirements of the chosen segments.

Concentrated Marketing

• Here the total marketing effort is aimed at one market segment.


• This strategy is really aimed at the exploitation of a limited market
area and tends to be used by those companies who have highly
specialised products. It is "niche marketing" by another name.
It is common for organisations with a diverse product range to use a

Strategy

In the branded impulse market, the share of chocolate in 6.6% and


CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”’s share in the impulse segment is 4.8% factor like changing
attitude, higher disposable income, a large youth population, and low
penetration of chocolate (22% of urban population) point towards a big
opportunity of increasing the share of chocolate in the branded impulse among
the costly alternative in the branded impulse market.
It appears that company is likely to play the value game to expand the market
encouraged by the recent success of its low priced ‘value for many packs’.
Various measures are undertaken in all areas of operation to create value for
the future. New channel of marketing such as gifting and child connectivity
and low end value for money product for expanding the consumer base have
been identified.
In terms of manufacturing management focus is on optimizing manufacturing
efficiencies and creating a world class manufacturing location for CDM
(CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY” Dairy Milk) and Éclairs. The company is today the second best
manufacturing location of CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS
MARKETING STRATEGY”’s Schweppes in the world.

Efficient sourcing of key raw material i.e. coca through forward purchase of
imports, higher local consumption by entering long term contract with farmer
and undertaking efforts in expanding local coca area development. The
initiatives in the terms of development a long term domestic coca a sourcing
base would field maximum gains when commodity prices start moving up.

• Use of it to improve logistic and distribution competitiveness.


• Utilizing mass media to create and maintain brands.

• Expand the consumer base. The company has added 8 million new consumer
in the current year and how has consumer base of 60 million although the
growth in absolute numbers is lower than targeted, the company has been
able to increase the width of its consumer base through launch of low priced
products.
• Improving distribution quality by addressing issues of product stability by
installation of visit coolers at several outlets. This would be really effective
in maintaining consumption in summer, when sales usually dip due to the
fact that the heat effects product quality and thereby consumption.

• The above are some steps being taken internally to improve future operation
and profitability. At the same time the management is also aware of external
changes taking place in the competitive environment and is taking steps to
remain competitive in the future environment of free imports, lower barrier
to trade and the advent of all global players in to the country. The
management is not unduly concerned about the huge deluge of imported
chocolate brands in the market place.

It is of the view that size of this imported premium market is small to threaten
its own volumes or sales in fact, the company looks at the tree important as an
opportunity, where it could optimally use the global CADBURY COMPANY
WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” Schweppes portfolio.
The company would be able to not only provide greater variety, but it would
also be more cost effective to test market new product as well as improve
speed of response to change in consumer preference through imports. The
only concerns that the company has in this regard is the current high level of
duties, which limit the opportunity to launch value for money products.

- Physical Distribution – “Place”


Distribution Equity: It takes much more time and effort to build, but once built,
distribution equity is hard to erode. The fundamental axiom of Indian consumer market is
this: You can set up a state-of –the-art manufacturing facility, hire the hottest strategies on
the block, swamp prime television with best Ads, but the end of it all, you should know how
to sell your products.
- Promotion

Effective advertising is rarely hectoring or loudly explicit…. It often both attracts and
generates arm feelings. More often than not, a successful campaign has a stronger element of
the unexpected a quality that good advertising shares with much worthwhile literature.
To penetrate into the inner recesses of customer memory, communication must first ensure
exposure, grab his attention evoke his comprehension, grab his acceptance and then extract
retention competing with thousands of other units of communication trying to do the same.
Finding showed that the adults felt too conscious to be seen consuming a product actually
meant for children. The strategic response addresses the emotional appeal of the band to the
child within the adult. Naturally, that produced just the value vacuum that CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” was looking to fill.
Thereafter it was the job of the advertising to communicate customer the wonderful feeling
that he could experience by re-discoursing the careful, unselfish conscious, pleasure –
seeking child within him – and graft these feeling onto the Ad campaign like “Khane Walon
Ko Khane Ka Bahana Chahiye” for CMD and “Thodi Si Pet Pooja – Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi”
for Perk have been sure shot winner with the audience.
Whirl with the new launched temptations with the slogan “Too To Share” the communication
resolves around the reluctance of a person who’s got their hand on a bar of temptation to let
anyone else to have a bite. As well as outdoor and radio ads, ad agency contract has created
communication for cinemas and even ATM machines for the brand.

All ICICI’s ATM a message flashes on the screen as soon as customer inserts his ATM card.
It tells the customer that this would be good time to get out of his temptation since he/she is
bound to be alone. Something familiar is planned for phone-book as well. In cinemas,
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” has a
message on-screen just before the lights are dimmed to give them a chance to get their
temptations. There will also be after dinner sampling in restaurants – to begin with, 30
catteries in Mumbai have been selected.
The next round of activity will include the wafer-chocolate Perk and the Picnic bar, which
has faced problems with its taste, because of the peanut it contains. Milk treat has also been
launched in a module bar form, just in time of Diwali gifting market. Éclairs has got potential
for much wide distribution, in a small sweets that airlines, hostels, and up market retail outlet
offer to guest and customers.
Ad spend in 2000 was about 14% of sales and the management said that plans to maintain as
spend at this level in the current year also.

Ad since any discussion today would be incomplete without mention ‘e’ word, the
management plans to tap this new channel of marketing. Beside three company website
(i.e.www.CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING
STRATEGY”india.com, wwww.bourvita.com, www.CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”gift.com) that the company has launched, it
had also entered into various marketing relationship with other portals, specially targeted
during festivals and events such as Valentines Day, etc….
It’s a combination of stiffing up its key brand, researching and improving the newer products
that haven’t taken off, supported with high ad – spends that CADBURY COMPANY WITH
RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” hopes will see it emerges stronger after the
current slowdown, as well as expand the market.

5 – Positioning

In the 1970s consumers were ready to pay “more for more”, and luxury goods flourished. In
the 1980s, consumers began to demand “more for same”, and the discounting era grew
strong.
Today’s consumer demanding “more for less”, and the winner will be that super value
marketers…. Some of today’s most successful companies recognize those customers are
more educated and able to recognize true customer value…
Positioning is simply concentrating on an idea – or – even a word defines that company in
the mind of the consumer. It is more efficient to market one successful concept to one large
group of people than 50 product or service ideas to 50 separate group… repositioning is a
must when customer attitude have changed and product have strayed away from the
consumer’s long standing perception of them…
CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”’s is an
anchor in sea of confectionary products. As a variety of competitive claims assails her
senses, today customer uses complicated decision making process to assess the alternative
before making a purchase. Since CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS

this product life. ‘Real taste of Life’, itself defines the positioning of the product. The
chocolate is meant for all age groups. It symbolizes fun, enjoyment, good items. It has
goodness of milk, taste and appetite appeal.
• 5 star: although positioned internationally as an energy bar, 5 stars were positioned on an
emotional platform in India during the late 1980s. Symbolizing togetherness, 5 stars was
originally targeted at teenagers. In June 1994, the company reworked the strategy for 5
stars to make it a source of energy. In fact, before the launch of Perk, 5 star’s energy bar
positioning made it a snacking chocolate.
• Éclairs: competing in the chewable toffees segment. Éclairs was re-launched during the
mid-nineties with a new name, Dairy Milk Éclairs. 4) Gems: broadcasting Gems, though,
didn’t prove to be feasible proposition for CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To
ITS MARKETING STRATEGY”.
Targeted at children less than 12 years with ‘Gems Bond’ advertising. CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” decided to sell it to
teenagers with the ‘Smart Very Smart’ campaign. But now, the company is retargeting
children with its animated commercial. “Gems are the best brand to speak to children.
Colorful chocolate buttons appeal most to children and that is why CADBURY
COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS MARKETING STRATEGY” is retargeting
children.”

• Crackle: it was the first CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS


MARKETING STRATEGY”’s chocolate to have crunch in it. It was targeted as a funky
chocolate to add spark to life.

• Perk: in September, 1995, CADBURY COMPANY WITH RESPECT To ITS


MARKETING STRATEGY” preempted the launch of Nestlé’s Kit-Kat by rushing a new
brand, Perk into the market. Positioned much further on the functional scale of 5 stars,
Perk was meant to be light snack-product for subduing the first pangs of hunger.

health aspect, Bournvita combined the nutritious value with taste.
