Cadbury India's five factories in India churn out close to 8,000 tones of chocolate and the

company sells a million bars every day.

But Bharat Puri, managing director of Cadbury India will never forget the batch of Dairy

Milk chocolates numbered 28F311 manufactured last year at the company's plant in

Thane, near Mumbai.

That was the worm-infested batch that triggered a crisis for the company that had always

prided itself on its squeaky clean image.

The timing of the controversy couldn't have been worse. Festival season sales (Cadbury

sells almost 1,000 tonnes of chocolates during Diwali) plummeted 30 per cent.

Until then, in the country's FMCG sector plagued by slow, low single digit top line and

bottom-line growth, Cadbury was a sweet exception. But its net profit in 2003 dipped 37

per cent to Rs 45.6 crore (Rs 456 million) as compared to a 21 per cent increase the

previous year.

Now, a year later, Cadbury says that consumers have long forgotten the controversy and

are back to their merry chocolate-chomping ways.

"Sales are back to the pre-controversy levels. Consumer confidence in the product is back

and there has been a steady progression in sales," says Sanjay Purohit, head (marketing)

Cadbury India. The company expects to close the year with a high double digit sales

growth.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

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

before distribution in the Indian market. After 59 years of existence, it today has five

company-owned manufacturing facilities at Thane, Induri (Pune) and Malanpur

In the Milk Food drinks segment our main product is Bourn vita- the leading Malted

Food Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is the

undisputed leader. We recently entered the gums category with the launch of our

worldwide dominant bubble gum brand Bubbaloo. Bubbaloo is sold in 25 countries

worldwide.

The Cadbury India Brand Strategy has received consistent support through simple but

imaginative extensions to product categories and distribution. A good example of this is

the development of Bytes. Crispy wafers filled with coca cream in the form of a bagged

snack, Bytes is positioned as "The new concept of sweet snacking". It delivers the taste of

chocolate in the form of a light snack, and thus heralds the entry of Cadbury India into

the growing bagged Snack Market, which has been dominated until now by Salted

Bagged Snack Brands. Byte was first launched in South India in 2003.Since 1965 Cadbury has also pioneered the development of cocoa cultivation in India.

For over two decades, we have worked with the Kerala Agriculture University to

undertake cocoa research and released clones, hybrids that improve the cocoa yield. Our

Cocoa team visits farmers and advises them on the cultivation aspects from planting to

harvesting. We also conduct farmers meetings & seminars to educate them on Cocoa

cultivation aspects. Our efforts have increased cocoa productivity and touched the lives of

thousands of farmers.

One of the key properties that Cadbury 5 Star was associated with was its classic Gold

colour. And through the passage of time, this was one property that both, the brand and

the consumer stuck to as a valuable association.

6. CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR FACTORS AFFECTING TO CADBURY DAIRYMILK.

8/8/2019 16653160 Final Cadbury

19/37

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 buyers beware or when the market

was mainly the sellers market. Now the whole concept of consumers 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 ofmotivation. In cognitive

sciences, individual preferences enable choice of objectives/goals.

The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers makebuying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the goodsthey 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 consumerpreference

1. Staple: These types of goods are purchased on a regular basis or once or twice in amonth. A planning may be required before purchasing such type of goods. But for

8/8/2019 16653160 Final Cadbury

30/37

Cadbury Dairy Milk, the flagship brand of Cadbury India, is set to sport a new

packaging.

With the finding ofworms in its chocolate bar by the state Food and Drugs

Administration, Cadbury India is working towards strengthening the packing ofthe Cadbury Dairy Milk range.

Over the next few weeks Cadbury will work towards introducing either a heat-

sealed or a flow-pack packaging that offers a high level of resistance to

infestation from improper storage.

Meanwhile, Cadbury India has announced a three-step strategic programme

involving the distribution chain and retail channels so as to ensure that the

product reaching the consumer is of high quality.

Called Project Vishwas, the programme aims at building awareness amongretailers about storage requirements for Cadbury products, assistance in

improving storage conditions at the retail end and strengthening packaging of the

Cadbury Dairy Milk range. This will be implemented immediately in Maharashtra

and will be extended nationwide thereafter.

Bharat Puri, managing director, Cadbury India, said, " We take seriously our

responsibility to give our consumers a product that adheres to high quality

standards. The three-step programme is a result of our discussions with

consumers, retail partners and the Food and Drugs Administration in

Maharashtra. We are confident that this will improve the consumers trust in our

products."Also, the company will reduce the bulk packaging from 60 bars to 22 bars. Each

bulk pack will be shrink-wrapped. This is expected to minimise the sale of loose

packs to the retail trade.

Over the next two weeks, a team of trained quality control managers along with

over 300 sales people will complete a thorough check of over 50,000 outlets
