Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Introduction
Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers
to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. “While now central
to the contemporary global economy and the reproduction of global production networks, it is
only quite recently that advertising has been more than a marginal influence on patterns of sales
and production. The formation of modern advertising was intimately bound up with the
emergence of new forms of monopoly capitalism around the end of the 19th and beginning of the
20th century as one element in corporate strategies to create, organize and where possible control
markets, especially for mass produced consumer goods. Mass production necessitated mass
consumption, and this in turn required a certain homogenization of consumer tastes for final
products. At its limit, this involved seeking to create ‘world cultural convergence’, to
homogenize consumer tastes and engineer a ‘convergence of lifestyle, culture and behaviours
among consumer segments across the world’.”
Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and
services through the creation and reinvention of the "brand image". For these purposes,
advertisements sometimes embed their persuasive message with factual information. Every
major medium is used to deliver these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines,
newspapers, video games, the Internet, carrier bags and billboards. Advertising is often placed by
an advertising agency on behalf of a company or other organization.
Organizations that frequently spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what is not,
strictly speaking, a product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious
organizations, and military recruiters. Non-profit organizations are not typical advertising clients,
and may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as public service announcements.

Money spent on advertising has increased dramatically in recent years. In 2007, spending on
advertising has been estimated at over $150 billion in the United States and $385 billion
worldwide, and the latter to exceed $450 billion by 2010.
While advertising can be seen as necessary for economic growth, it is not without social costs.
Unsolicited Commercial Email and other forms of spam have become so prevalent as to have
become a major nuisance to users of these services, as well as being a financial burden on
internet service providers. Advertising is increasingly invading public spaces, such as schools,
which some critics argue is a form of child exploitation.
In the early 1950s, the Dumont Television Network began the modern trend of selling
advertisement time to multiple sponsors. Previously, Dumont had trouble finding sponsors for
many of their programs and compensated by selling smaller blocks of advertising time to several
businesses. This eventually became the standard for the commercial television industry in the
United States. However, it was still a common practice to have single sponsor shows, such as
The United States Steel Hour. In some instances, the sponsors exercised great control over the
content of the show - up to and including having one is advertising agency actually writing the
show. The single sponsor model is much less prevalent now, a notable exception being the
Hallmark Hall of Fame.
The 1960s saw advertising transform into a modern approach in which creativity was allowed to
shine, producing unexpected messages that made advertisements more tempting to consumers'
eyes. The Volkswagen ad campaign—featuring such headlines as "Think Small" and "Lemon"
(which were used to describe the appearance of the car)—ushered in the era of modern
advertising by promoting a "position" or "unique selling proposition" designed to associate each
brand with a specific idea in the reader or viewer's mind. This period of American advertising is
called the Creative Revolution and its archetype was William Bernbach who helped create the

revolutionary Volkswagen ads among others. Some of the most creative and long-standing
American advertising dates to this period.
Public advertising on Times Square, New York City.
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the introduction of cable television and particularly MTV.
Pioneering the concept of the music video, MTV ushered in a new type of advertising: the
consumer tunes in for the advertising message, rather than it being a by-product or afterthought.
As cable and satellite television became increasingly prevalent, specialty channels emerged,
including channels entirely devoted to advertising, such as QVC, Home Shopping Network, and
Shop TV Canada.
Marketing through the Internet opened new frontiers for advertisers and contributed to the "dot-
com" boom of the 1990s. Entire corporations operated solely on advertising revenue, offering
everything from coupons to free Internet access. At the turn of the 21st century, a number of
websites including the search engine Google, started a change in online advertising by
emphasizing contextually relevant, unobtrusive ads intended to help, rather than inundate, users.
This has led to a plethora of similar efforts and an increasing trend of interactive advertising.
The share of advertising spending relative to GDP has changed little across large changes in
media. For example, in the U.S. in 1925, the main advertising media were newspapers,
magazines, signs on streetcars, and outdoor posters. Advertising spending as a share of GDP was
about 2.9 percent. By 1998, television and radio had become major advertising media.
Nonetheless, advertising spending as a share of GDP was slightly lower—about 2.4 percent.[11]
A recent advertising innovation is "guerrilla marketing", which involve unusual approaches such
as staged encounters in public places, giveaways of products such as cars that are covered with
brand messages, and interactive advertising where the viewer can respond to become part of the

The Taste of India
advertising message. This reflects an increasing trend of interactive and "embedded" ads, such as
via product placement, having consumers vote through text messages, and various innovations
utilizing social network services such as MySpace.
Definitions of Advertising
One definition of advertising is: "Advertising is the non-personal communication of information
usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified
sponsors through the various media."(Bovver, 1992, p. 7) So much for academic doubletalk.
Now let's take this statement apart and see what it means.
Nonpersonal
First, what is "non-personal"? There are two basic ways to sell anything: personally and non-
personally. Personal selling requires the seller and the buyer to get together. There are
advantages and disadvantages to this. The first advantage is time: the seller has time to discuss in
detail everything about the product. The buyer has time to ask questions, get answers, and
examine evidence for or against purchase.
A second advantage of personal selling is that the seller can see you. The person rhea’s selling
to. Rhea can see your face; see how the sales message is getting across. If you yawn or your eyes
shift away, you are obviously bored, and the seller can change approach. Can also see if you are
hooked, see what features or benefits have your attention, and emphasize them to close the sale.
Finally, the seller can easily locate potential buyers. If you enter a store, you probably have an
interest in something that store sells. Street vendors and door-to-door sellers can simply shout at
possibilities, like the Hyde Park (London) vendors who call out, "I say there, Guv'nor, can you
use a set of these dishes?", or knock at the door and start their story with an attention grabber.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 4

The Taste of India
From there on, they fit their message to the individual customer, taking all the time a customer is
willing to give them.
Disadvantages do exist. Personal selling is, naturally enough, expensive, since it is labor-
intensive and deals with only one buyer at a time. Just imagine trying to sell chewing gum or
guitar picks one-on-one; it would cost a dollar a stick or pick.
In addition, its advantage of time is also a disadvantage. Personal selling is time-consuming.
Selling a stereo or a car can take days, and major computer and airplane sales can take years.
Nonetheless, although personal selling results in more rejections than sales, and can be nerve-
racking, frustrating and ego destroying for the salesperson, when the salesperson is good it is
more directed and successful than advertising.
From the above, it appears that personal selling is much better than advertising, which is non-
personal. This is true. Advertising has none of the advantages of personal selling: there is very
little time in which to present the sales message, there is no way to know just who the customer
is or how rhea is responding to the message, the message cannot be changed in mid-course to suit
the customer's reactions.
Then why bother with advertising? Because its advantages exactly replace the disadvantages of
personal, selling and can emulate some of the advantages. First, let us look at the latter.
First, advertising has, comparatively speaking, all the time in the world. Unlike personal selling,
the sales message and its presentation does not have to be created on the spot with the customer
watching. It can be created in as many ways as the writer can conceive, be rewritten, tested,
modified, injected with every trick and appeal known to affect consumers. (Some of the latter is
the content of this book.)
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 5

The Taste of India
Second, although advertisers may not see the individual customer, nor be able to modify the
sales message according to that individual's reactions at the time, it does have research about
customers. The research can identify potential customers, find what message elements might
influence them, and figure out how best to get that message to them. Although the research is
meaningless when applied to any particular individual, it is effective when applied to large
groups of customers.
Third, and perhaps of most importance, advertising can be far cheaper per potential customer
than personal selling. Personal selling is extremely labor-intensive, dealing with one customer at
a time. Advertising deals with hundreds, thousands, or millions of customers at a time, reducing
the cost per customer to mere pennies. In fact, advertising costs are determined in part using a
formula to determine, not cost per potential customer, but cost per thousand potential customers.
Thus, it appears that advertising is a good idea as a sales tool. For small ticket items, such as
chewing gum and guitar picks, advertising is cost effective to do the entire selling job. For large
ticket items, such as cars and computers, advertising can do a large part of the selling job, and
personal selling is used to complete and close the sale.
Advertising is non-personal, but effective.
communication
Communication means not only speech or pictures, but any way one person can pass
information, ideas or feelings to another. Thus, communication uses all of the senses: smell,
touch, taste, sound and sight. Of the five, only two are useful in advertising -- sound and sight.
Smell
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 6
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Smell is an extremely strong form of communication. However, when it comes to advertising, it
is not very useful. A smell can immediately evoke memories. Remember times when you've
smelled something and what memories came to your mind. The smell could be a perfume or
aftershave that reminds you of Sheila or George. It could be popcorn, newly mown grass,
charbroiling steak, or roses. Any smell can conjure up a memory for you.
However, that is smell's greatest problem for advertising. Although a smell can evoke a memory,
everyone's memories are different. For example, the smell of hay in a cow barn always reminds
me of my grandfather's farm in Indiana and the fun I had there as a child. To others, however,
that same smell makes them think a cow had an accident in the living room, not at all the same
response as mine. If an advertiser wanted to make me nostalgic about farms and grandparents,
the smell would be perfect. To others the smell might evoke ideas of cow accidents or the pain of
having to buck bales on a hot summer day, neither image of much use in making a product
appealing.
The point is, the advertiser cannot control the effect of using smell in advertising. Although
many people smell the same things, what they associate with those smells varies with each
person. Without some control, smell is a very weak form of communication for advertising.
Touch
Touch has a limitation that makes it of little use to advertising -- the customer has to come in
actual contact with the item to be touched. Thus, the item must actually exist and be put in a
medium that can carry it. This puts touch more in the realm of personal selling than advertising.
It is possible to use touch for a limited number of products. For example, samples of cloth or
paper can be bound into magazines. The potential customer can thus feel percale or the texture of
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 7
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
corduroy; tell through touch the difference between slick magazine stock, embossing, Classic
Laid or 100% rag paper. However, for the majority of products touch is useless for advertising.
Taste
Taste is probably the least useful communication channel available to advertising. Like touch,
taste requires the potential customer to come in actual physical contact with the product.
However, taste is even more limited than touch. There are few products other than food for
which taste is a major selling point, and there is virtually no medium in which an ad can be
placed that people are likely to lick; I'm sure few people are going to lick a magazine page or the
TV screen, nor get much sense of what the product tastes like from them. It is possible to use
direct mail, sending samples to homes, but that is an expensive way to advertise.
Thus, taste is much more effective in personal selling, such as sampling foods in supermarkets or
in door-to-door sales.
The remaining two senses, sound and sight, are the most effective and easily used channels of
communication available to advertising. For these reasons virtually all advertising relies on them.
Sound
Sound is extremely useful for advertising. It can be used in a variety of media, from radio and
television to the new technology of binding micro-sound chips in magazines to present 20-
second sales messages. It is also capable of presenting words and "theatre of the mind."
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 8

The Taste of India
Words, the method by which humans communicate their ideas and feelings, are presented by
sound, by speaking aloud. With words, it is possible to deliver logical arguments, discuss pros
and cons, and evoke emotions.
More, using sound it is possible to create what is called "the theatre of the mind." What this
means is that sound can conjure in the listener's mind images and actions that do not necessarily
exist. For example, if you want to create before the mind's eye the image of a party, you need
merely use the sound effects of people talking and laughing, the tinkle of glasses and ice, perhaps
music in the background. Even easier, tape record a party and play it back. To evoke images of a
soft spring day the sounds of a breeze rustling leaves, the chirrup of insects, the soft call of birds
is sufficient. The listener's mind will take those sounds, combine them, make sense of them, and
create an image suited to their individual taste. For example, a beer commercial may play the
sounds of a bar in the background, and the listener may imagine themselves in their own favorite
bar, and perhaps ordering that brand of beer.
Thus sound, in the forms of words and effects, are quite useful to the advertiser in affecting a
listener.
Sight
Sight is arguably the most useful of the communication channels available to the advertiser.
Through sight it is possible to use both words and images effectively.
Words do not have to be spoken to be understood. They can be printed, as well. Although it is
difficult to put in written words the emotional impact possible in spoken words, with their
inflections and subtle sound cues, nevertheless written words are unsurpassed for getting across
and explaining complex ideas or arguments.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT 9

The Taste of India
There is an additional factor in sight that makes it excellent for advertising. The old cliché, "A
picture is worth a thousand words," is correct. Think how long it takes to describe something as
opposed to showing a picture of it. No matter how many words you use, some details will be
leave out that are visible at a glance. Thus,sight can quickly and concisely show a customer what
the advertiser wants rhea to see, be it a product or how buying the product can benefit rhea.
In addition, the mind does not have to consciously recognize what the eye sees for it to have an
effect on the subconscious. An advertiser can put many inconspicuous details into a picture that
will affect a customer on the subconscious level. For example, a drop of water on a rose petal
may not consciously register ("I see there's a drop of water on this rose"), but will unconsciously
leave an impression of freshness and delicacy. A small child looking upward into the camera,
unsmiling and eyes wide, gives an impression of sadness and vulnerability, not shortness.
The five forms of human communication can be used to send any message to potential
customers. However, not all five are equal. Smell, touch and taste are of little use, but sound and
sight are of great value and effectiveness.
Information
Information is defined as knowledge, facts or news. However, you should bear in mind that one
person's information is another person's swindle, particularly when advertisers talk about their
products.
Information comes in many forms. It can be complete or incomplete. It can be biased or
deceptive. Complete information is telling someone everything there is to know about
something: what it is, what it looks like, how it works, what its benefits and drawbacks are.
However, to provide complete information about anything is time consuming and difficult. For
example, to tell all about a car would require its appearance, manufacture and manufacturer,
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT10
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
what percentage of parts are made in which countries, cost of upkeep, mileage (city and
highway), cost (basic and with any and all combination of options), sales and excise taxes per
state, preparation costs, insurance costs per state and locale, ride characteristics (noise by db
interior and exterior, ergs required for steering and braking, relative comfort of seats, length of
reach required to use controls, degrees of lean when cornering), acceleration, braking distance at
many different speeds, etc.. All of this would require a documentary, not a commercial.
Complete information is impossible to provide in an ad
Thus, for advertising, information must necessity is incomplete; not discussing everything there
is to know about the subject. In advertising, what appears is everything the writer thinks the
customer needs to know about the product in order to make a decision about the product. That
information will generally be about how the product can benefit the customer.
There is, of course, the concept of affirmative disclosure. This concept requires an advertiser to
provide customers with any information that could materially affect their purchase decision.
Lewis A. Newman, FTC Chair in 1974, said:
"Sometimes the consumer is provided not with information he wants but only with the
information the seller wants him to have. Sellers, for instance, are not inclined to advertise
negative aspects their products even though those aspects may be of primary concern to the
consumer, particularly if they involve considerations of health or safety."
The Federal Trade Commission deals with such omissions by demanding affirmative disclosure
of such information, and backs up their demands with the force of law.
Bias is being partial towards something, feeling that something is better or worse than other
things. Biased information about a product is that which emphasizes what is good and ignores
what is bad about it. In advertising, this is not only normal, but necessary. Of course an
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT11
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
advertiser is biased toward rhea own product and against the competition: selling product is the
way makes rhea money, and competition's sales reduces that income. Thus, any advertising will
use words and images that show how good product is and/or how poor competition's is. This is
biased information, but recognized and accepted by industry, regulators and consumers – it is
called puffery, the legitimate exaggeration of advertising claims to overcome natural consumer
skepticism.
However, sometimes the biased information goes beyond legitimate puffery and slips into
deception, the deliberate use of misleading words and images. In other words, deceptive
information is lying to the customer about the qualities of a product. Such deception is illegal,
and the FTC requires the advertiser to cease and desist and, in some instance, to do corrective
advertising to repair any damage.
Persuasive
"Persuasive" stands to reason as part of the definition of advertising. The basic purpose of
advertising is to identify and differentiate one product from another in order to persuade the
consumer to buy that product in preference to another. The purpose of this book is to discuss
some basic elements of persuasion.
Products, Services & Ideas
Products, services or ideas are the things that advertisers want consumers to buy (in the case of
ideas, "buy" means accept or agree with as well as lay out hard, cold cash). However, there is
more involved in products or services than simply items for purchase. (During the following
discussion, "products" will mean products, services and ideas unless otherwise noted.)
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT12
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
A product is not merely its function. It is actually a bundle of values, what the product means to
the consumer. That bundle may contain the product's function, but also the social, psychological,
economic or whatever other values are important to the consumer.
For example, let's look at a car. If the function of a car, transportation, is all that is important,
then manufacturers would need only build motorized boxes on wheels, and consumers would be
happy with them. Such is obviously not the case: the number of models and types of cars is huge,
and if consumers didn't demand the variety it wouldn't exist. Consumers must find factors other
than mere transportation just as, if not more important.
Perhaps the value is psychological. Some cars may make a person feel safer, or sexier, or give
them self-esteem or enjoyment. Since the purpose of this book is to discuss psychological values
and how to appeal to them,
Perhaps the value is economic. Some cars may be cheaper to run, give better mileage, carry more
people or cargo, cause less damage to the environment.
The above four values, functional, social, psychological and economic, can stand-alone.
However, for most consumers, the values are bundled together in varying proportions. How
closely a product approximates an individual's proportion of values will often determine whether
buy that product or not.
Companies, through research, try to determine what values consumers want in their products,
and then advertise to show how their product satisfies the customers' bundle of values better than
competitors' products. To do this, the company must differentiate their product from competitors.
There are three basic differentiations: perceptible, imperceptible, and induced.
Perceptible
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT13
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Perceptible differences are those that actually exist that make one product obviously different
from others of the same kind. The difference may in color or size or shape or brand name or
some other way. In any case, the consumer can easily see that this car or couch or camera is
different from other cars or couches or cameras. Perceptible differences allow a person to make
an instant identification of one product as opposed to another.
Imperceptible
Imperceptible differences are those that actually exist between one product and others, but are
not obvious. For example, there are imperceptible but profound differences between CP/M, MS-
DOS and Apple and Macintosh computers. You can't simply look at a computer and tell which it
is; machines can and usually do look alike. Yet buying either precludes being able to use
software designed for the other.
The same applied to Beta and VHS format VCRs. Although both are designed to do the same
thing, there are differences between them that are imperceptible on the surface but preclude
using the same tapes in both. There are other differences besides the size of the cassette: the
machines use very different ways of recording and playing back tapes. Beta records and plays
back diagonally across the tape, VHS records vertically. Such a difference may seem small, but it
means that not anything recorded on Beta can be played back on VHS, and vice versa. In
addition, Beta's system used more tape per instant and thus had an advantage for information per
inch of tape, meaning a better sound and picture but less available time. However, VHS
overcomes its deficit by improved electronics and better processing of what information it gets
per inch of tape. In addition, VHS (read RCA) managed to corner the market on rental tapes of
movies (a major use of VCRs) and VHS has virtually killed off Beta (read Sony). All the
differences between Beta and VHS are imperceptible: they are also crucial.
Induced
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT14
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
For many products, there is no actual substantive difference between one and another. For many
brands of cigarettes, beer, cleansers and soaps, rice, over-the-counter health products, etc., etc. ad
nauseam, there is essentially no difference between one brand and another. These products are
called parity products.
For these products, the only way to differentiate one from another is to induce that difference, to
persuade people that there actually is some difference, and that difference is important to them.
These differences are created through advertising, not through any inherent difference in the
products, and that creation often uses the appeals and methods discussed in the bulk of this book.
Heidelberg, the working person’s beer. Michelob, the sophisticated nightlife beer. Bud, the
athletic beer. Bud Light, the sexy party beer. Miller Lite, the fun and funny beer. Coors, the
environmental beer. Coors Light, the fast beer. All of these are images projected onto products
that have virtually no difference between them (taste tests show that few people can tell one from
the other, particularly after having a few of any). This approach depicts the product in
association with a lifestyle. For example, soft drinks show people having fun, usually athletic fun
(a root beer company countered this approach by calling itself "the sit down soft drink"). Beer
ads show people having fun. Airline ads show people having fun. (Notice a trend here?) They
want you to think that if you use their product, you will enjoy the lifestyle depicted, and if you
don't, you won't. Of course, the fact that the product is not necessary to the lifestyle is ignored.
Another approach is to project an image on a parity product. Marlboro is rugged male, Virginia
Slims is independent female, Benson & Hedges is intellectual, and Camel is cool and
sophisticated. That there is no real difference between one brand of cigarette and another is
beside the point. The point is, if you want the image you must use the product. This image
approach is so successful that a manly man wouldn't be caught dead (no pun intended) smoking
Virginia Slims or Benson & Hedges -- he'd feel like a sissy wimp (or rather, that is what he
thinks his friends would think he was).
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT15

The Taste of India
Parity products have the greatest difficulty differentiating one from another. They must rely on
creating a trivial or even nonexistent difference in the bundle of values their target audience
might find important to their purchase decision. However, if and once that difference is firmly
established in the target audience's perception, a company can often rely on habit, brand loyalty
and/or cognitive dissonance to get repeat business.
Identified sponsors
Identified sponsors means whoever is putting out the ad tells the audience who they are. There
are two reasons for this: first, it's a legal requirement, and second, it makes good sense.
Legally, a sponsor must identify herself as the sponsor of an ad this prevents the audience from
getting a misleading idea about the ad or its contents. For example, many ads that appear in
newspapers look like news articles: same typeface, appearance, use of columns, etc.. If the ad is
not identified as such, the audience could perceive it as news about a product, rather than an
attempt to persuade the audience to buy it. Case in point: what looks like a news article discusses
a weight-loss plan. In journalistic style it talks about the safety, efficacy, and reasonable price of
the product. A reasonable person might perceive the "article" as having been written by a
reporter who had investigated weight-loss programs and decided to objectively discuss this
particular one. Such a perception is misleading, and illegal. Since it is an ad, somewhere on it
there must appear the word "advertisement" to ensure the audience does not think it is an
objective reporting of news.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT16
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Second, it makes good sense for a sponsor to identify in the ad If the sponsor doesn't, it is
possible for the audience to believe the ad is for a competitor's product, thus wasting all the time,
creativity and money that went into making and placing the ad
Various Media
The various media are the non-personal (remember that?) channels of communication that people
have invented and used and continue to use. These include newspapers, magazines, radio,
television, billboards, transit cards, sandwich boards, skywriting, and posters, anything that aids
communicating in a non-personal way idea from one person or group to another person or group.
They do not include people talking to each other: first, talking is personal and advertising is non-
personal; and second, there is no way to use people talking to each other for advertising--word-
of-mouth is not an advertising medium, since you can't control what is said. (The best you could
do is start a rumor, which will undoubtedly distort the message in the telling, and is more the
province of the PR department.)
Thus, to repeat (in case you have forgotten by now), "Advertising is the non-personal
communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products,
services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media."
Types of advertisement
Media
Paying people to hold signs is one of the oldest forms of advertising, as with this Human
directional pictured above

mediums for advertisers.

The Taste of India
Commercial advertising media can include wall paintings, billboards, street furniture
components, printed flyers and rack cards, radio, cinema and television adverts, web banners,
mobile telephone screens, shopping carts, web popup, skywriting, bus stop benches, human
billboards, magazines, newspapers, town criers, sides of buses, banners attached to or sides of
airplanes ("logo jets"), in-flight advertisements on seatback tray tables or overhead storage bins,
taxicab doors, roof mounts and passenger screens, musical stage shows, subway platforms and
trains, elastic bands on disposable diapers, stickers on apples in supermarkets, shopping cart
handles (grabertising), the opening section of streaming audio and video, posters, and the backs
of event tickets and supermarket receipts. Any place an "identified" sponsor pays to deliver their
message through a medium is advertising.
One way to measure advertising effectiveness is known as Ad Tracking. This advertising
research methodology measures shifts in target market perceptions about the brand and product
or service. These shifts in perception are plotted against the consumers’ levels of exposure to the
company’s advertisements and promotions. The purpose of Ad Tracking is generally to provide a
measure of the combined effect of the media weight or spending level, the effectiveness of the
media buy or targeting, and the quality of the advertising executions or creative.
Covert advertising
Product placement
Covert advertising is when a product or brand is embedded in entertainment and media. For
example, in a film, the main character can use an item or other of a definite brand, as in the
movie Minority Report, where Tom Cruise's character John Ander ton owns a phone with the
Nokia logo clearly written in the top corner, or his watch engraved with the Bulgaria logo.
Another example of advertising in film is in I, Robot, where main character played by Will
Smith mentions his Converse shoes several times, calling them "classics," because the film is set
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT18

The Taste of India
far in the future. I, Robot and Space balls also showcase futuristic cars with the Audi and
Mercedes-Benz logos clearly displayed on the front of the vehicles. Cadillac chose to advertise
in the movie The Matrix Reloaded, which as a result contained many scenes in which Cadillac
cars were used. Similarly, product placement for Omega Watches, Ford, VAIO, BMW and Aston
Martin cars are featured in recent James Bond films, most notably Casino Royale. Blade runner
includes some of the most obvious product placement; the whole film stops to show a Coca-Cola
billboard.
Television commercials
Television advertisement and Music in advertising
The TV commercial is generally considered the most effective mass-market advertising format,
as is reflected by the high prices TV networks charge for commercial airtime during popular TV
events. The annual Super Bowl football game in the United States is known as the most
prominent advertising event on television. The average cost of a single thirty-second TV spot
during this game has reached $3 million (as of 2009).
The majority of television commercials feature a song or jingle that listeners soon relate to the
product.
Virtual advertisements may be inserted into regular television programming through computer
graphics. It is typically inserted into otherwise blank backdrops[13] or used to replace local
billboards that are not relevant to the remote broadcast audience. [14] More controversially, virtual

billboards may be inserted into the background[15] where none exist in real-life. Virtual product
placement is also possible.[16][17]
Infomercials
There are two types of infomercials, described as long form and short form. Long form
infomercials have a time length of 30 minutes. Short form infomercials are 30 seconds to 2
minutes long. Infomercials are also known as direct response television (DRTV) commercials or
direct response marketing.
The main objective in an infomercial is to create an impulse purchase, so that the consumer sees
the presentation and then immediately buys the product through the advertised toll-free telephone
number or website. Infomercials describe, display, and often demonstrate products and their
features, and commonly have testimonials from consumers and industry professionals.
Some well known companies in the infomercial business are Script to Screen, Hawthorne Direct,
International Shopping Network and Guthy-Renker.
Celebrities
Celebrity branding
This type of advertising focuses upon using celebrity power, fame, money, popularity to gain
recognition for their products and promote specific stores or products. Advertisers often
advertise their products, for example, when celebrities share their favorites products or wear
clothes by specific brands or designers. Celebrities are often involved in advertising campaigns
such as television or print adverts to advertise specific or general products.
Media and advertising approaches
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT20
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Increasingly, other media are overtaking television because of a shift towards consumer's usage
of the Internet as well as devices such as TiVo.
Advertising on the World Wide Web is a recent phenomenon. Prices of Web-based advertising
space are dependent on the "relevance" of the surrounding web content and the traffic that the
website receives.
E-mail advertising is another recent phenomenon. Unsolicited bulk E-mail advertising is known
as "spam".
Some companies have proposed placing messages or corporate logos on the side of booster
rockets and the International Space Station. Controversy exists on the effectiveness of subliminal
advertising (see mind control), and the pervasiveness of mass messages (see propaganda).
Unpaid advertising (also called publicity advertising), can provide good exposure at minimal
cost. Personal recommendations ("bring a friend", "sell it"), spreading buzz, or achieving the feat
of equating a brand with a common noun (in the United States, "Xerox" = "photocopier",
"Kleenex" = tissue, "Vaseline" = petroleum jelly, "Hoover" = vacuum cleaner ,Nintendo(older
people)=video games, and "Band-Aid" = adhesive bandage) — these can be seen as the pinnacle
of any advertising campaign. However, some companies oppose the use of their brand name to
label an object. Equating a brand with a common noun also risks turning that brand into a generic
zed trademark - turning it into a generic term, which means that its legal protection as a
trademark is lost.
As the mobile phone became a new mass media in 1998 when the first paid downloadable
content appeared on mobile phones in Finland, it was only a matter of time until mobile
advertising followed, also first launched in Finland in 2000. By 2007, the value of mobile
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT21
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
advertising had reached $2.2 billion and providers such as Ad mob delivered billions of mobile
ads.
More advanced mobile ads include banner ads, coupons, Multimedia Messaging Service picture
and video messages, games and various engagement marketing campaigns. A particular feature
driving mobile ads is the 2D Barcode, which replaces the need to do any typing of web
addresses, and uses the camera feature of modern phones to gain immediate access to web
content. 83 % of Japanese mobile phone users already are active users of 2D barcodes.
A new form of advertising that is growing rapidly is social network advertising. It is online
advertising with a focus on social networking sites. This is a relatively immature market, but it
has shown a lot of promise as advertisers are able to take advantage of the demographic
information the user has provided to the social networking site. Friendertising is a more precise
advertising term in which people are able to direct advertisements toward others directly using
social network service.
Television advertisement
A 'television advertisement' or television commercial (often just commercial (US) or advert or ad
(UK) or ad-film (India)) is a span of television programming produced and paid for by an
organization that conveys a message. Advertisement revenue provides a significant portion of the
funding for most privately owned television networks. The vast majority of television
advertisements today consist of brief advertising spots, ranging in length from a few seconds to
several minutes (as well as program-length infomercials). Advertisements of this sort have been
used to sell every product imaginable over the years, from household products to goods and
services, to political campaigns.

Amul - History
Amul was formally registered on December 14, 1946. Dr Varghese Kurien recognized as the
man behind the success of Amul.
The 'Amul revolution' started as awareness among the farmers, grew and matured into a protest
movement that was channeled towards economic prosperity. Over five decades ago, the life of a
farmer in Kedah District was very much like that of his/her counterpart anywhere else in India.
His/her income was derived almost entirely from seasonal crops. The income from milk
buffaloes was undependable. Private traders and middlemen controlled the marketing and
distribution system for the milk. As milk is perishable, farmers were compelled to sell it for
whatever they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and ghee at throw-away prices. In this
situation, the private trader made a killing. Gradually, the realization dawned on the farmers that
the exploitation by the trader could be checked only if marketed their milk themselves. Amul
was the result of that realization.
The Kaira Union began pasteurizing milk for the Bombay Milk Scheme in June 1948. By the end
of 1948, more than 400 farmers joined in more Village Society, and the quantity of milk handled
by one Union increased from 250 to 5,000 liters a day. The success of Amul was instrumental in
launching the White Revolution that resulted in increased milk production in India. It is termed
as "Operation Flood" by Amul.
Currently Amul has 2.41 million producer members with milk collection average of 5.08 million
liters’/day. Amul sales turnover in 2004-05 was 672 million US $.

Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy cooperative movement in India. It
is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative organization, Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by some 2.6 million milk
producers in Gujarat, India.
AMUL is basically in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling example of a co-operative
organization's success in the long term. It is one of the best examples of co-operative
achievement in the developing world. "Anyone who has seen ... the dairy cooperatives in the
state of Gujarat, especially the highly successful one known as AMUL, will naturally wonder
what combination of influences and incentives is needed to multiply such a model a thousand
times over in developing regions everywhere." The Amul Pattern has established itself as a
uniquely appropriate model for rural development. Amul has spurred the White Revolution of
India, which has made India the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is
also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT25

The Taste of India
Amul is the largest food brand in India and world's Largest Pouched Milk Brand with an annual
turnover of US $1050 million (2006-07). Currently Amul has 2.6 million producer members with
milk collection average of 10.16 million liters per day. Besides India, Amul has entered overseas
markets such as Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong
and a few South African countries. Its bid to enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded,
but now it has fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential markets being
considered include Sri Lanka.
Title of study
The research is made on “Effectiveness of chocolate advertisement towards its sales” for AMUL
INDIA.
Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers
to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. “While now central
to the contemporary global economy and the reproduction of global production networks, it is
only quite recently that advertising has been more than a marginal influence on patterns of sales
and production. The formation of modern advertising was intimately bound up with the
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT26
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
emergence of new forms of monopoly capitalism around the end of the 19th and beginning of the
20th century as one element in corporate strategies to create, organize and where possible control
markets, especially for mass produced consumer goods. Mass production necessitated mass
consumption, and this in turn required a certain homogenization of consumer tastes for final
products. At its limit, this involved seeking to create ‘world cultural convergence’, to
homogenize consumer tastes and engineer a ‘convergence of lifestyle, culture and behaviors’
among consumer segments across the world’.”
Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and
services through the creation and reinvention of the "brand image". For these purposes,
advertisements sometimes embed their persuasive message with factual information. Every
major medium is used to deliver these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines,
newspapers, video games, the Internet, carrier bags and billboards. Advertising is often placed by
an advertising agency on behalf of a company or other organization.

YELAHANKA area of Bangalore was taken into consideration as the area of research and
certain part of urban Bangalore are randomly selected.
Sources of data collection
Information requirement
First, I had to know about all the competitors present in the chocolate segment (Reputed
and well established brands as well as Local brands).
Before going for the survey I had to know the comparative packs and prices of all the
competitors existing in the market
Since chocolate is a product that attracts children and youngsters hence I had to trace the
market and segment it, which mainly deals with people of various age groups.
As chocolate is different product, the main information needed is the various types of
chocolates available in the market, their calorific value and various other facts. They can
be termed as
As Amul chocolate advertisements are mainly done through hoardings but on television
the advertisement is being telecasted timely and on the proper time or not.
Research design
Despite the difficulty of establishing an entirely satisfactory classification system, it is helpful to
classify marketing research on the basis of the fundamental objectives of the research.
Consideration of the different types, their applicability, their strengths, and their weakness will
help the student to select the type best suited to a specific problem.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT29

The two general types of research are:
Exploratory research
Exploratory research seeks to discover new relationship, emphasis on discovery of ideas.
Marketing researches devote a significant portion of their work on exploratory studies when
very little is known about the problem being examined.
Conclusive research
Conclusive studies attempts to determine the frequency with which something occurs or the
relationship between two phenomenons. Usually conclusive studies assume certain under
underlying characteristics of the market or have some precise statement of research
questions/hypothesis.
Research instrument
If one wants to know what type of dentifrice people use, what they think of, television
commercials, or why they buy particular brands of cars, the natural procedure is to ask them.
Thus, the questionnaire method has come to be the more widely used of the two data collection
method. Many consumers are now familiar with the telephone caller who greets them with “We
are making a survey”, and then proceeds to ask a series of questions. Some interviews are
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT30
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
conducted in person, others by telephone, and others by mail. Each of these has its special
advantages and disadvantages and limitations. The questionnaire method in general, however,
has a number of pervasive advantages and disadvantages. Discussion of particular variations
will be more meaningful if these characteristics of the general methods are brought out first.
A questionnaire consists of list of questions to be asked from the respondents and the space
provided to record the answer / responses. Questionnaire can be used for the personal
interviews, focus groups, mails and telephonic interviews. The choice among these alternatives
is largely determined by the type of information to be obtained and by the type of respondents
from whom it is to be obtained.
The common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance on verbal
responses to question, written or oral.
Questionnaire in the project consists of:
Multiple choice questions
Dichotomous
Multiple-choice questions
Questions of this type offer the respondents an alternative to choose the right answer among
others. It is faster, time saving and less biased. It also simplifies the tabulating process.
Open-end questions
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT31
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
In this type respondents are free to answer in their own words and express the ideas they think
are relevant, such questions are good as first questions or opening questions. They introduce the
subject and obtain general reaction.
Dicthomus
These are the questions which are Boolean in nature. These answers are straightforward and
respondents have to answer them in a straight way. That means the answer can only be either
‘Yes” or ‘No’.
Sampling techniques
Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the whole population. The sample
design used in this project is two state sampling i.e. Cluster and convenience. In the probability
sampling methods, each items in the sample is chosen one at a time from a complete list of
universe elements. In marketing research practice, it will sometimes be more expedient to select
clusters or groups of universe elements, rather than to choose sample items individually.
Sampling methods in which universe elements are chosen in groups ---- rather than individually
-- are called cluster-sampling methods. They are widely used in the sampling of human
populations. When no complete universe listing exists, a type of sampling is called area sampling
may be the only practically feasible form of probability sampling.
Non-disguised structured techniques
The non-structured techniques for attitude measurement are primarily of value in exploratory
studies, where the researcher is looking for the salient attributes of given products and the
important factors surrounding purchase decisions as seen by the consumer. Structured techniques
can provide a more objective measurement system, one, which is more comparable to a scale or a
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT32

yardstick. The term scaling has been applied to the efforts to measure attitudes objectively, and a
number of useful scales have been developed.
Sampling methods
Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the whole population. The sample
design used in this project is two state sampling i.e. cluster sampling and convenience sampling.
The whole city was divided into some geographical areas.
Cluster sampling
Here the whole area is divided into some geographical area and a definite number of consumers

Sampling
1. Sampling Technique: Non probability sampling (A non probability sampling technique is
that in which each element in the population does not have an equal chance of getting
selected)

The help of questionnaires conducted direct interviews, in order to get accurate
information.
In order to get correct information I had to approach consumers ranging from 15 yrs to 65
yrs.
I visited as many respondents as I can and asked them their real likings about any
chocolate and also got an idea, How a chocolate should be?
It is really a Herculean task to understand Consumer Behaviour, as the definition suggest,
“Consumer behaviour is a physical activity as well as decision process individual
engaged in when evaluating, acquiring, using and disposing goods and services”.

The Taste of India
In order to collect accurate information I visited to Garden, Parks, Temple, Superstores,
Theatres and Gymnasium, each and every question was filled personally by the
respondents and checked properly.
People were not willing to answer, when they were contacted between 1.00 pm to 5.00
pm, the time when most of the people take rest during the scorching heat.
Limitations of study
1. The major limitation of the study is that the entire study is based on only one unit, AMUL
INDIA if study of another dealer of AMUL company had been done, then comparative
analysis could have given a deeper insight of the topic.
2. The study is confined only to the YELEHANKA of BANGALORE.
3. The time limited allotted for the study is very less.
4. My conclusions and finding of the project are based on the information given by the
director and the staff member of the company. There is a slight possibility that they might
have been a bit opinionated. In giving me the information. By being opinionated, I do not
mean they intentionally gave me wrong information. I mean that there is a tendency in
people to tell how they perceive it rather than how actually it is.
5. If the respondents answer does not falls between amongst the options given then it will
turn up to be a biased answer.

The Taste of India
Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and technology refers to the
application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Dairy technology has been defined as
that branch of dairy science, which deals with the processing of milk and the manufacture of
milk products on an industrial scale.
The dairy sector in the India has shown remarkable development in the past decade and India
has now become one of the largest producers of milk and value-added milk products in the
world.
The dairy sector has developed through co-operatives in many parts of the State. During 1997-
98, the State had 60 milk processing plants with an aggregate processing capacity of 5.8 million
litres per day. In addition to these processing plants, 123 Government and 33 co-operatives milk
chilling centers operate in the State.
Also India today is the lowest cost producer of per litre of milk in the world, at 27 cents,
compared with the U.S' 63 cents, and Japan’s $2.8 dollars. Also to take advantage of this lowest
cost of milk production and increasing production in the country multinational companies are
planning to expand their activities here. Some of these milk producers have already obtained
quality standard certificates from the authorities. This will help them in marketing their products
in foreign countries in processed form.
The urban market for milk products is expected to grow at an accelerated pace of around 33%
per annum to around Rs.43,500 crores by year 2005. This growth is going to come from the
greater emphasis on the processed foods sector and also by increase in the conversion of milk

into milk products. By 2005, the value of Indian dairy produce is expected to be Rs 10,00,000
million. Presently the market is valued at around Rs7,00,000 mn.

Development of Food Processing Industry
The food processing industry sector in India is one of the largest in terms of production,
consumption, export and growth prospects. The government of accorded it is a high priority,
with a number of fiscal relieves and incentives, to encourage commercialization and value
addition to agriculture produce, for minimizing harvest wastage, generating employment and
export growth.
Food processing industry is providing backbone support to the milk industry. The development
food products by using milk can give good market opportunities to produces milk.
Products and Industry Status
Among the products manufactured by organized sector are Ghee, Butter, Cheese, Ice Creams,
Milk powders, Melted milk food, Infant food, condensed milk etc. Some milk products like
Casein and Lactose are also being manufactured lately. Therefore, there is good scope for
manufacturing these products locally.
Liberalization of the economy has led to a flood of new entrants, including MNCs due to good
prospects and abundant supply.

Amul (Anand milk union ltd.) is based on four hands, which are coordinated with each other.
The actual meaning of this symbol is co-ordination of four hands of different people by whom
this union is at the top position in Asia.
o First hand is of farmers, without whom the organization would not have existed.
o Second hand is of processors, who process the row material (milk) into finished
goods.
o Third hand is of marketer, without whom the product would have not reached the
customers
o Fourth hand is of customers, without whom the products would have not carried
on.

but now it has fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential markets being
considered include Sri Lanka.
Dr Varghese Kurien, former chairperson of the GCMMF, is recognized as the man behind the
success of Amul. On 10 Aug 2006 Parthi Bhatol, chairman of the Banaskantha Union, was
elected chairman of GCMMF.
AMUL: The origin
The mighty Ganges at its origin is but a tiny stream in the Gangotri ranges of the Himalayas.
Similar is the story of Amul which inspired Operation Flood and heralded the 'White
Revolution' in India. It began with two village cooperatives and 250 liters of milk per day,
nothing but a trickle compared to the flood it has become today. Today Amul collects processes
and distributes over a million liters of milk and milk products per day, during the peak, on
behalf of more than a thousand village cooperatives owned by half a million farmer members.
Further, as Ganga-ma carries the aspirations of generations for moksha, Amul too has become a
symbol of the aspirations of millions of farmers. Creating a pattern of liberation and self-
reliance for every farmer to follow.
The Start of a Revolution
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT44
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
The revolution started as awareness among the farmers that grew and matured into a protest
movement and the determination to liberate them. Over four decades ago, the life of a farmer in
Kaira District was very much like that of his counterpart anywhere else in India. His income was
derived almost entirely from seasonal crops. The income from milk buffaloes was
undependable. The marketing and distribution system for the milk was controlled by private
traders and middlemen. As milk is perishable, farmers were compelled to sell it for whatever
they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and ghee at throwaway prices. In this situation,
the one who gained was the private trader. Gradually, the realization dawned on the farmers that
the exploitation by the trader could be checked only if marketed their milk themselves. In order
to do that they needed to form some sort of an organization. This realization is what led to the
establishment of the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited (popularly
known as Amul) which was formally registered on December 14, 1946.
The Kaira Union began pasteurizing milk for the Bombay Milk Scheme in June 1948. An
assured market proved a great incentive to the milk producers of the district. By the end of 1948,
more than 400 farmers joined in more village societies, and the quantity of milk handled by one
Union increased from 250 to 5,000 liters a day.
Amul Secret of Success
The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative prices for
producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production enhancement package.
What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It also enables the consumer an
access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit
of the business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the
participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good.

Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a pattern and model
for emulation elsewhere. Amul has been able to:
Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-economic
systems
Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the smallest producer
members. In that sense, Amul is an example par excellence, of an intervention for rural
change.
Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology and harness
its fruit for betterment
Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of management and the
professionals: each group appreciating its roles and limitations
Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the rural sector
for the common good and betterment of the member producers and
The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk, provision of
technical inputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial insemination service, veterinary
care, better feeds and the like - all through the village societies. The village society also
facilitates the implementation of various production enhancement and member education
programs undertaken by the Union. The staff of the village societies has been trained to
undertake the veterinary first-aid and the artificial insemination activities on their own.

Findings
During the survey it was found that still, 10% people have not tasted Amul Chocolate.
Lack of Awareness in consumers. Many people are not know about Amul chocolates
specially children and teenagers.
As I found that the main product of Amul is Milk and company firstly wants to capture
maximum market share in milk market which is approx. 66%, after it Amul is concentrating
upon butter & cheese which has market share of approx. 88%, so it is not concentrating upon
chocolates.
When I interviewed people then many of the people cannot recall Amul chocolate
advertisement. It shows Lake of Advertisement or advertisement is not timely given or
advertisement is not given on right time.
In its advertisement is not using any brand ambassador which attracts all age group people
like Cadbury.
There is lake of Sales Promotional Activities i.e. free tattoo, extra weight, toys, quiz contest
etc.
Cadbury is main competitor and strategically better performer then Amul.
I find the main thing is that “Amul” brand name has very good image in consumer’s mind
and they consider it as Pure & Good Product.
People who have tasted Amul Chocolate are not ready to purchase the same again.

Suggestions
In order to maintain and increase the sales in the city of Adoni, the following
recommendations regarding Amul Chocolates; particularly regarding advertisement,
distribution, promotional policies, etc, are hereby suggested:
First and foremost Amul should take proper action in order to improve service, because
although being on a top slot in Butter and milk supplies it does not get the sales in chocolate,
which it should get.
Company should use brand ambassador, which attracts each age segment i.e. Saniya Mirza,
Shaktiman, Amitabh Bachchan, Superman, Krrish, Jadoo etc.
Amul should give local advertisements apart from the advertisements given at the national
level. Local advertisement must mention the exclusive Amul shops of the city.
Try and change the perception of the people through word of mouth about Amul in
advertisements, because they are the best source to reach Children and families.
Though Amul chocolate advertisements are rarely shown on television yet many people
could recall it as per the data of research. It shows that there is only need to give
advertisement only to rememorize customers. Because Amul is very strong brand name.
Company should launch chocolate in new attractive packing to change image of Amul
chocolate in consumers mind.
DR.JYOTHIRMAYI DEGREE COLLEGE, ADONI DEPT.OF MANAGEMENT77
Effectiveness of chocolate advertisements towards its sales
The Taste of India
Company should introduce sales promotion schemes like free weight, pranky, tattoo, contest,
gifts etc.
Advertisement can be done with the help of animations that attracts children and teenagers
because chocolates are consumed largely in this segment.
Company should launch chocolates in new flavors like –
Mix Fruit
Pineapple
Elaichi
Coffee
Strawberry
Banana
Mango

Conclusions
As we know, that Amul is very big organization and market leader in dairy products. It has
maximum market share in Milk, Butter and Cheese, which are its main/core products. As we
know, Amul is a co-operative organization but chocolate industry is a profitable industry we
cannot ignore it. With the help of research, company can find out its week points in chocolate
product and can increase its market share through rectifying mistakes. People have believed in
Amul product and they will accept its chocolates if effective actions are taken.
The survey resulted into following conclusions
Amul must come up with new promotional activities such that people become aware
about Amul Chocolates like Chocó zoo, Bindaas, and Fundo.
Quality is the dominating aspect, which influences consumer to purchase Amul product,
but prompt availability of other chocolate brands and aggressive promotional activities by
others influences the consumer towards them and also leads to increase sales.
In comparison to Amul Chocolate, the other players such as Cadbury, Nestle, and Perfetti
provide a better availability and give competition to the hilt.
