    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    Introduction to the Industry

    INTRODUCTION

    In this research I have survey the product performance and buying behavior of famous brand

    chocolates Cadbury, which is consumed by people of all ages. During this research I have interactedwith people of New Delhi. After this research I came to know how people perceives these products on

    the variables like price, quality, advertisement, satisfaction, taste, packaging, brand loyalty etc. I also

    came to know which particular brand of chocolate is most preferred by people of different age groups. In

    this research I have surveyed that how frequently and how much chocolate they consume, whether they

    buy small, big or family pack. Trend of ongoing changes in their likings has been shown in the report. In

    this report I have tried to explain the entire research and facts product wise.

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    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 ordisliking 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 of motivation. In cognitive sciences, individual preferences enable choice o

    objectives/goals.

    History of chocolate:

    2

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    The origin of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations in Central

    America, who first enjoyed chocolati a much-prized spicy drink made from roasted cocoa beans.

    Throughout its history, whether as cocoa or drinking chocolate beverage or confectionary treat

    chocolate has been a much sought after food..

    Chocolate across Europe

    An Italian traveler, Francesco carletti, was the first to break the Spanish monopoly. He had visited

    Central America and seen how the Indians prepared the cocoa beans and how they made the drink, and

    by 1606 chocolate was well established in Italy.

    First chocolate for eating

    Up until this point all chocolate recipes were based on plain chocolate. It was an English doctor, sir

    Hanss sloane, who- after traveling in south America- focused on cocoa and food values, bringing a milk

    chocolate recipe back to England.

    The original Cadbury milk chocolate was prepared to his recipe.

    History:

    The earliest record of chocolate was over fifteen hundred years ago in the central America rain forests

    where the tropical mix of high rain fall combined with high year round temperatures and humidity

    provide the ideal climate for cultivation of the plant from which chocolate is derived, the cacao tree.

    Chocolate is made from the cocoa bean, found in pods growing from the trunk and lower branches of

    the cacao tree, Latin name theobroma cacao meaning food of the gods

    Cacao was corrupted into the more familiar cocoa by the early European explorers. The Maya

    brewed a spicy, bittersweet drink by roasting and pounding the seeds of the cacao tree with maize and

    capsicum peppers and letting the mixture ferment.

    Chocolate in Europe

    Xocolatl! or chocolat or chocolate as it became known, was brought to Europe by Cortez, by this time

    the conquistadors had learned to make the drink more palatable to European tastes by mixing the ground

    roasted beans with sugar and vanilla ( a practice still continued today), thus offsetting the spicy

    bitterness of the brew the Aztecs drank.

    The first chocolate factories opened in Spain, where the dried fermented beans brought back from the

    new world by the Spanish treasure fleets were roasted and ground, and by the early 17 th century

    chocolate powder from which the European version of the drink was made- was being exported to

    other parts of Europe. The Spanish kept the source of the drink- the beans- a secret for many years, so

    successfully in fact, that when English buccaneers boarded what they thought was a Spanish treasurer

    galleon in 1579, only to find it loaded with what appeared to be dried sheeps droppings, they burned

    the whole ship in frustration. If only they had known, chocolate was so expensive at that time, that it was

    worth its weight in silver ( if not gold), chocolate was treasure indeed !

    CONSUMPTION OF CHOCOLATES IN INDIA

    Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around 160 gms in the

    urban areas, compared to 8-10kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolates

    in India are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. A strong volume growth was witnessed in

    the early 90s when Cadbury repositioned chocolates from children to adult consumption. The biggest

    opportunity is likely to stem from increasing the consumer base. Leading player like Cadbury has been

    attempting to do this by value for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.

    Back to the Americas

    Events went full circle when English colonists carried chocolate (and coffee) with them to Englands

    colonies in north America. Destined to become the united states of America and Canada, they are now

    the worlds largest consumers by far of both chocolate and coffee, consuming over half of the words

    total production of chocolate alone.

    The Quakers

    The Quakers were, and still are, a pacifist religious sect, an offshoot of the puritans of English civil war

    and pilgrim fathers fame and a history of chocolate would not be complete without mentioning their part

    in it. Some of the most famous names in chocolate were Quakers, who for centuries held a virtual

    monopoly of chocolate making in the English speaking world fry, Cadbury and row tree are probably

    the best known.

    Its probably before the time of the English civil war between parliament and king Charles 1st that the

    Quakers who evolved from the puritans, first began their historic association with chocolate. Because of

    their pacifist religion, they were prohibited from many normal business activities, so as an industrious

    people with a strong belief in the work ethic (like the puritans), they involved themselves in food related

    businesses and did very well. Baking was a common occupation for them because bread was regarded as

    the biblical staff of life, and bakers in England were the first to add chocolate to cakes so it would be a

    natural progression for them to start making pure chocolate. They were also heavily involved in

    breakfast cereals but thats another story.

    What is certain is that the fry, row tree and Cadbury families in England among others, began chocolate

    making and in fact Joseph fry of fry &sons (founded 1728 in Bristol, England) is credited with

    producing and selling the worlds first chocolate bar. Frys have now all but disappeared (taken over byCadbury) and row tree have merged Swiss company nestle, to form the largest chocolate manufacturer

    in the world. Cadbury have stayed with chocolate production and are now, if not quite the largest

    probably one of the best-known chocolate makers in the world.

    Chocolate as we know it

    The first mention of chocolate being eaten in solid form is when bakers in England began adding cocoa

    powder to cakes in the mid 1600s. Then in 1828 a Dutch chemist, Johannes van houten, invented amethod of extracting the bitter tasting fat or cocoa butter from the roasted ground beans, his aim was

    to make the drink smoother and more palatable, however he unknowingly paved the way for solid

    chocolate as we know it.

    5

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    Chocolate as we know it today first appeared in 1847 when fry & sons of Bristol, England mixed sugar

    with cocoa powder and cocoa butter (made by the van houten process) to produce the first solid

    chocolate bar then in1875 a Swiss manufacturer,

    Daniel peters, found a way to combine (some would say improve, some would say ruin) cocoa powder

    and cocoa butter with sugar and dried milk powder to produce the first milk chocolate.

    CHOCOLATE PRODUCTION

    The cocoa-bean -- the heart of the sweetest delicacy in the world -- is bitter! This is

    why, up to the 18th century some native tribes ate only the sweetish flesh of the cocoa

    fruit. They regarded the precious bean as waste or used it, as was the case among the

    Aztecs, as a form of currency.

    TheVarieties

    There are two quite different basic classifications of cocoa, under which practically all

    varieties can be categorised: Criollo and Forastero cocoas. The pure variety of the

    Criollo tree is found mainly in its native Equador and Venezuela. The seeds are of finer quality than

    those of the Forastero variety.

    They have a particularly fine, mild aroma and are, therefore, used only in the production of high-quality

    chocolate and for blending. However, Criollo cocoa accounts for only 10% of the world crop. The

    remaining 90% is harvested from trees of the Forastero family, with its many hybrids and varieties. The

    main growing area is West Africa. The cocoa tree can flourish only in the hottest regions of the world.

    The Harvest

    immediately after harvesting, the fruit is treated to prevent it from rotting. At

    fermentation sites either in the plantation or at, collecting points, the fruit is opened.

    Fermentation

    The fermentation process is decisive in the production of high quality raw cocoa. The technique varies

    depending on the growing region.

    6

    7/52

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    Drying

    After fermentation, the raw cocoa still contains far too much water; in fact about 60%. Most of this has

    to be removed.

    What could be more natural than to spread the beans out to dry on the sun-soaked ground or on mats?

    After a week or so, all but a small percentage of the water has evaporated.

    Cleaning

    Before the real processing begins, the raw cocoa is thoroughly cleaned by passing

    through sieves, and by brushing. Finally, the last vestiges of wood, jute fibres, sand and

    even the finest dust are extracted by powerful vacuum equipment.

    Roasting

    The subsequent roasting process is primarily designed to develop the aroma. The entire roasting process

    during which the air in the nearly 10 feet high furnaces reaches a temperature of 130 C, is carried out

    automatically.

    Crushingandshelling

    The roasted beans are now broken into medium sized pieces in the crushing machine.

    Blending

    Before grinding, the crushed beans are weighed and blended according to special recipes. The secret of

    every chocolate factory lies in the special mixing ratios, which it has developed for different types of

    cocoa.

    Grinding

    The crushed cocoa beans, which are still fairly coarse are now pre-ground by special milling equipment

    and then fed on to rollers where they are ground into a fine paste. The heat generated by the resulting

    pressure and friction causes the cocoa butter (approximately 50% of the bean) contained in the beans to

    melt, producing a thick, liquid mixture.

    This is dark brown in color with a characteristic, strong odour. During cooling it gradually sets: this is

    the cocoa paste.

    At this point the production process divides into two paths, but which soon join again. A part of the

    cocoa paste is taken to large presses, which extract the cocoa butter. The other part passes through

    various blending and refining processes, during which some of the cocoa butter is added to it. The two

    paths have rejoined.

    CocoaButter

    The cocoa butter has important functions. It not only forms part of every recipe, but it

    also later gives the chocolate its fine structure, beautiful lustre and delicate, attractive

    glaze.

    Cocoa Powder

    After the cocoa butter has left the press; cocoa cakes are left which still contain a 10 to 20% proportion

    of fat depending on the intensity of compression.

    These cakes are crushed again, ground to powder and finely sifted in several stages

    and we obtain a dark, strongly aromatic powder, which is excellent for the preparation of

    delicious drinks - cocoa. Cocoa paste, cocoa butter, sugar and milk are the four basic

    ingredients for making chocolate. By blending them in accordance with specific

    recipes the three types of chocolate are obtained which form the basis of ever product assortment,

    namely:

    Kneading

    In the case of milk chocolate for example, the cocoa paste, cocoa butter, powdered or condensed milk

    sugar and flavouring - maybe vanilla - go into the mixer, where they are pulverized and kneaded.

    Rolling

    Depending on the design of the rolling mills, three or five vertically mounted steel

    rollers rotate in opposite directions. Under heavy pressure they pulverise the tiny

    particles of cocoa and sugar down to a size of approx. 30 microns. (One micron is a

    thousandth part of a millimetre.)

    Conching

    But still the chocolate paste is not smooth enough to satisfy our palates. But within two

    or three days all that will have been put right. For during this period the chocolate paste

    will be refined to such an extent in the conches that it will flatter even the most

    discriminating palate.

    Conches (from the Spanish word "concha", meaning a shell) is the name given to the troughs in which

    100 to 1000 kilograms of chocolate paste at a time can be heated up to 80 C and, while being constantly

    8

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    stirred, is given a velvet smoothness by the addition of certain amounts of cocoa butter. A kind of

    aeration of the liquid chocolate paste then takes place in the conches: its bitter taste gradually disappears

    and the flavor is fully developed. The chocolate no longer seems sandy, but dissolves meltingly on the

    tongue. It has attained the outstanding purity, which gives it its reputation.

    Introduction to Chocolate Company

    CADBURY

    John Cadbury

    Milk chocolate for eating was first made by Cadbury in 1897 by adding milk powder John paste to the

    dark chocolate recipe of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar. By today's standards this chocolate was not

    particularly good: it was coarse and dry and not sweet or milky enough for public tastes.

    There was a great deal of competition from continental manufacturers, not only the French,but also the

    Swiss, renowned for their milk chocolate.

    Led by George Cadbury Junior, the Bournville experts set out to meet the challenge. A considerable

    9

  • 8/7/2019 Cad. consumer prefrence

    10/52

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    amount of time and money was spent on research and on new plant designed to produce the chocolate in

    larger quantities.

    A recipe was formulated incorporating fresh milk, and production processes were developed to produce

    a milk chocolate 'not merely as good as, but better than' the imported milk chocolate'.

    Four years of hard work were invested in the project and in 1905 what was to be

    Cadbury's top selling brand was launched.

    Three names were considered: Jersey, Highland Milk and Dairy Maid. Dairy Maid

    became Dairy Milk, and Cadbury's Dairy Milk, with its unique flavor and smooth

    creamy texture, was ready to challenge the Swiss domination of the milk chocolate market.

    By 1913 Dairy Milk had become the company's bestselling line and in the mid twenties Cadbury's Dairy

    Milkgained its status as the brand leader, a position it has held ever since.

    COMPANY OVERVIEW OF CADBURY INDIA

    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 (Gwalior), Bangalore and Baddi

    (Himachal Pradesh) and 4 sales offices (New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkota and Chennai). The corporte office

    is in Mumbai.

    Currently Cadbury India operates in four sectors viz. Chocolate Confectionery, Milk Food Drinks, Gum,

    and in the Candy category.

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

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

    chocolate lovers in India began in 1948.

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

    Dairy Milk.

    The variants Fruit & Nut, Crackle and Roast Almond, combine

    the classic taste of Cadbury Dairy Milk with a variety of

    ingredients and are very popular amongst teens & adults.

    Recently, Cadbury Dairy Milk Desserts was launched,

    specifically to cater to the urge for 'something sweet' after

    meals.

    Cadbury Dairy Milk has exciting products on offer - Cadbury

    Dairy Milk Wowie, chocolate with Disney characters embossed in

    it, and Cadbury Dairy Milk 2 in 1, a delightful combination of

    milk chocolate and white chocolate. Giving consumers an

    exciting reason to keep coming back into the fun filled world of Cadbury.

    Our Journey:

    Cadbury Dairy Milk has been the market leader in the chocolate category for years. And has participated

    and been a part of every Indian's moments of happiness, joy and celebration. Today, Cadbury Dairy

    Milk alone holds 30% value share of the Indian chocolate market.

    In the early 90's, chocolates were seen as 'meant for kids', usually a reward or a bribe for children. In the

    Mid 90's the category was re-defined by the very popular `Real Taste of Life' campaign, shifting the

    focus from `just for kids' to the `kid in all of us'. It appealed to the child in every adult. And Cadbury

    Dairy Milk became the perfect expression of 'spontaneity' and 'shared good feelings'

    The 'Real Taste of Life' campaign had many memorable executions, which people still fondly

    remember. However, the one with the "girl dancing on the cricket field" has remained etched in

    everyone's memory, as the most spontaneous & un-inhibited expression of happiness.

    This campaign went on to be awarded 'The Campaign of the Century', in India at the Abby (Ad Club,

    Mumbai) awards.

    In the late 90's, to further expand the category, the focus shifted towards widening chocolate

    consumption amongst the masses, through the 'Khanewalon Ko Khane Ka Bahana Chahiye' campaign

    13

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    This campaign built social acceptance for chocolate consumption amongst adults, by showcasing

    collective and shared moments.

    More recently, the 'Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye' campaign associated Cadbury Dairy Milk with celebratory

    occasions and the phrase "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" became part of street language. It has been adopted by

    consumers and today is used extensively to express joy in a moment of achievement / success.

    The interactive campaign for "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" bagged a Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes

    Advertising Festival 2006 for 'Best use of internet and new media'. The idea involved a tie-up with

    Reliance India Mobile service and allowed students to check their exam results using their mobile

    service and encouraged those who passed their examinations to celebrate with Cadbury Dairy Milk.

    The 'Pappu Pass Ho Gaya' campaign also went on to win Silver for The Best Integrated Marketing

    Campaign and Gold in the Consumer Products category at the EFFIES 2006 (global benchmark for

    effective advertising campaigns) awards.

    Did You Know?

    Cadbury Dairy Milk emerged as the No. 1 most trusted brand in Mumbai for the 2005 edition of Brand

    Equity's Most Trusted Brands survey.

    During the 1st World War, Cadbury Dairy Milk supported the war effort. Over 2,000 male employees

    joined the armed forces and Cadbury sent books, warm clothes and chocolates to the front.

    Cadbury Bytes was launched in 2004-05 as Cadbury's foray into the rapidly growing packaged snack

    market.

    Cadbury Bytes is a one of a kind snack, in that it is sweet and not salty, as compared to most of the other

    snacks. It's a bite sized snack with a crunchy wafer and rich Choco cream filling. There are three

    variants of Bytes available in the market - Regular, Coffee and Strawberry, at two price points- Rs 5 and

    Rs 10.

    Cadbury Bytes is targeted at teens as they are the largest consuming segment of packaged snack

    category. They are also the gateway to the family, especially for a new sweet snack.

    With Bytes, Cadbury has entered into a new category with well entrenched and established brands. It is

    an exciting challenge for us to take the brand forward and make it a stupendous success.

    Cadbury Bytes is positioned as the 'only sweet snack' in the world of salty snacks. The proposition we

    have arrived at is "Snacking ka meetha funda", where we take a pot-shot at other snacks, by saying `Har

    snack namkeen nahi hota'. The product is all about breaking a clich and teenagers identify with

    breaking stereotypes. The new commercials- 'Tommy' and 'Villain', talk about breaking the stereotype.

    CADBURY BOURNVITA

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

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

    Cadbury Bournvita advertising has moved with the times to reflect the changing needs of the consumers

    During the '70s the communication centered on 'Good upbringing' and Bournvita became an essential

    building block for childhood. "Goodness that grows with you" was the ca

    communicated this thought.

    In the 80's the focus shifted from 'Upbringing' to 'Intelligence' with the more aggressive "Brought up

    right, Bournvita bright" campaign, which was very successful during its time.

    In the early '90s all brands in the category provided purely physical benefits like nourishment, energy

    and growth. It was at this time that Bournvita decided to raise the bar by promising physical and mental

    benefits. This resulted in the famous Tan Ki Shakti, Man Ki Shakti Campaign which became an anthem

    for the brand.

    In the new millennium, keeping pace with the evolving mindsets of the new age consumers, Cadbury

    Bournvita is about arming consumers with Confidence to take on physical and mental challenges that

    nobody else can, resulting in one of the most successful advertising campaigns which is based on 'Real

    Achievers who have grown up on Bournvita'.

    menthol and eucalyptus, and began producing cough drops. The cough drops were introduced into the

    US during the mid-1950s. Warner-Lambert recognised the potential of the product and acquired Halls in

    1964. In 1971, Warner Lambert began selling Halls under the Adams family, and the first national

    Halls has had a colourful advertising history in India & was infact, one of theearliest brands to advertise on television in India. In the 1980s, Ads featuring

    Meenakshi Sheshadri and later, Vijeta Pandit on its unique vapour action formula with a classic Halls

    Jingle were aired which established the brand firmly in the market. In the 90s, Halls advertising adopted

    a different take with its Traffic Jam Ad where Halls restores order to a situation of chaos & the early

    2000s saw Halls advertising on the refreshment platform. Over the years Halls has been strongly

    positioned on the` soothes sore throat benefit in the consumers mind.

    Halls continues to be one of the leading mint brands in India even in the changed competitive context.

    the second largest after Cadbury Dairy Milk with a market share of 14%, Cadbury 5 Star moves from

    strength to strength every year by increasing its user base.

    Launched in 1969 as a bar of chocolate that was hard outside with soft caramel nougat inside, Cadbury 5

    Star has re-invented itself over the years to keep satisfying the consumers taste for a high quality &

    different chocolate eating experience.

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

    through the passage of time, this was one property that both, the brand and the consumer stuck to as a

    valuable association.

    More recently, to give consumers another reason to come into the Cadbury 5 Star fold, Cadbury 5 Star

    Crunchy was launched. The same delicious Cadbury 5 Star was now available with a dash of rice

    crispies.

    two new offerings - Perk XL and XXL. In 2004, with an added dose of 'Real Cadbury Dairy Milk' and

    an 'improved wafer', Perk became even more irresistible

    Consumer preference towards Cadbury

    A research design is simply the framework or plan for a study that is used as guide in collecting and

    analyzing the data. It is blueprint that is followed

    in completing a study.

    SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as breathing. Despite of the fact that learning is all

    pervasive in our lives, psychologists do not agree on how learning takes place. How individuals learn is

    a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teach consumers in their roles as their roles as consumers

    They want consumers to learn about their products, product attributes, potential consumers benefit, how

    to use, maintain or even dispose of the product and new ways of behaving that will satisfy not only the

    consumers needs, but the marketers objectives.

    The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perception and

    consumption of Cadbury Chocolates. There are many other brands of chocolates available but my study

    is limited to a major player of chocolates leaving behind the others.

    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    This project is based on the comparative study consumer behavior towards Cadbury chocolates

    Objectives of the study are:

    The other objective is to know about the customer satisfaction level associated with the

    product and the customer preference level.

    To increase customer satisfaction and recapture the market share by fulfilling the customer

    needs.

    To study the factors affecting the consumption pattern.

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topic was kept in

    mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at play during the formulation of this project. The

    main limitations are as follows:

    Due to limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the sample of

    consumers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study.

    The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-administered

    questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less.

    People were hesitant to disclose the true facts.

    The chance of biased response cant be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to avoid

    the same.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    This chapter describes the methodology of the study. This project is based on information collected from

    primary sources. After the detailed study, an attempt has been made to present comprehensive analysis

    of consumption of Cadbury chocolates consumed by the people. The data had been used to cover

    various aspects like consumption, consumers preference and customers satisfaction regarding Cadbury

    chocolates. In collecting requisite data and information regarding the topic selected, I went to the

    residents of New Delhi and collected the data.

    CONCLUSION

    A survey of the people has been conducted to know the liking pattern of the Cadbury. It is

    observed that overall people like to eat Cadbury brand rather than any other. It is concluded that mostly

    people preferred Dairy Milk of Cadbury due to its flavor/taste, quality and image and due to its hard

    form.

    It is thus concluded from the facts collected that mostly people refer to buy big pack of their favorite

    chocolate, and sometimes some of them go for small and family pack.

    SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly people ge

    attracted through television only.

    For promotional offers, company should go for free gifts rather than going for other ways.

    Cadbury should concentrate on the shape of a chocolate.

    People are unsatisfied with the price and quantity of chocolate so companies should concentrate

    in this regard also.
