Executive Summary
Cadbury is the world leader in marketing of chocolate and it commands about 70
percent of the Indian chocolate market. The objective of this marketing plan is to
successfully introduce the brand in the Indian market for young as well as adults. A
business firm should have a proper marketing plan to expand the business .i. e.
target marketing.
The consumers a company wants to sell its products and services to, and to whom
it directs its marketing efforts. Identifying the target market is an essential step in
the development of a marketing plan. A target market can be separated from the
market as a whole by geography, buying power and demographics, as well as
by psychographics.

A target market or target audience is a group of people that will basically need or
want your products and services. Target market is defined in terms of age, sexual
orientation, gender, economic class, religion, ethnicity, or location. This socio-
economic grouping process actually allows businesses to create profiles of the
typical consumers who will likely buy the products of your company.
It is very difficult to go ahead and take steps in connecting and building
relationships with your potential customers if you dont have a clear and full
understanding of who is going to be interested in buying the products that your
company is offering. Once you start defining the fundamental characteristics of
your target audience and start identifying the different ways wherein your company
can meet these specific wants and needs, then the process of creating a customer
base becomes and easier task for you. The job of qualifying and identifying a
target audience is a current process for any businesses regardless of the size.
The prospective customers of Cadbury dairy milk have changed from kids to adults
including every family member to celebrate any occasion with Cadbury chocolate.

Introduction
It is not possible for a market to have similar strategies for product promotion
amongst all individuals. Kids do not get attracted towards products meant for
adults and vice versa. Every segment has a different need, perception and interest.
No two segments can have the similar ideologies or require a similar product.
Target marketing refers to a concept in marketing where it helps the marketers to
divide the markets into small units comprising of like-minded people.
Such segmentation helps its marketers to design specific strategies and techniques
to promote a product amongst its target market
Target market is a group of customers that the business has decided to aim
its marketing efforts and ultimately its merchandise towards. A well-defined target
market is the first element to a marketing strategy. The target market and the
marketing mix variables of product, place(distribution), promotion and price are
the four elements of a marketing mix strategy that determine the success of a
product in the marketplace.
Target markets are groups of individuals separated by distinguishable and
noticeable aspects. Target markets can be separated into:
Geographic segmentations, addresses (their location climate region)
demographic/socioeconomic segmentation (gender, age, income,
occupation, education, household size, and stage in the family life cycle)
psychographic segmentation (similar attitudes, values, and lifestyles)
behavioral segmentation (occasions, degree of loyalty)
product-related segmentation (relationship to a product
)

8

In addition to the above segmentations, market researchers have advocated a
needs-based market segmentation approach to identify smaller and better
defined target groups. A seven step approach proposed by Roger Best is as
follows:
Select the target audience the customers are grouped based on similar
needs and benefits sought by them on purchase of a product.
Identify clusters of similar needs- demographics, lifestyle, usage behaviour
and pattern used to differentiate between segments.
Apply a valuation approach- market growth, barriers to entry, market
access, switching, etc. are used.
Test the segments- A segment storyboard is to be created to test the
attractiveness of each segments positioning strategy.
Modify marketing mix- expanding segment positioning strategy to include
all aspects of marketing mix.

Importance of Target Marketing:
One can understand the importance of target marketing. It is the best way to use
marketing dollars. It is the most effective way to ensure throwing away marketing
dollars and wasting time marketing to people who won't buy from you. To
acknowledge the importance of target marketing is a must in the online business
environment.





One cannot succeed and you cannot find financial freedom if one does not focus
on target marketing. It should be focused and market specific. One has to use target
marketing stay afloat in the online business environment. Without target marketing
one will be a small business lost in a sea of competition.



10

Characteristics of a Target Market
Psychographics
Psychographics identify lifestyle choices that can influence whether individuals are
potential users of your product. For example, to determine that the product
appeals to people who are physically fit, one can promote an aspect of your
product that encourages fitness. If potential users are fishermen, one can advertise
that your snack product is convenient to carry along on a fishing trip.
Usage
One also wants to know the type and frequency of usage for your product. You
may determine that customers are most likely to use your product only in certain
situations, such as when attending a social gathering. Advertising can create a
scenario in which a customer is at a party and a need for your product arises.
Benefits:
One wants to identify a common benefit that customers hope to obtain by using
your product. Users of a cologne or perfume may want a fragrance that appeals to
the opposite sex. Buyers of an automobile may want luxury or prestige. People
who buy life insurance likely seek the peace of mind that comes from knowing
their families are provided for if they die prematurely.
Geographic Location
Potential users of your product may live in a specific area, which can affect how
you market and distribute your product. For example, to operate the business in a
warm-weather area but the product appeals to those who live in colder climates, it
is necessary to decide whether it's better to relocate to that area or perhaps offer the
products by direct mail or the Internet.

11

NEED FOR TARGETMARKETING:-
Organizations can use similar kind of strategies to promote their products within
target market.
They can adopt a mere focused approach in case of target marketing. They know
their customers well and thus can reach out to their target audience in the most
effective way.
The beauty of target marketing is that it makes the promotion pricing and
distribution of you products and/or services easier or more cost-effective. Target
marketing provides a focus to all of your marketing activities.





12

Strategies for Reaching Target Markets
Marketers have outlined four basic strategies to satisfy target markets:
undifferentiated marketing or mass marketing, differentiated marketing,
concentrated marketing, and micromarketing/ niche marketing.
Mass marketing is a market coverage strategy in which a firm decides to ignore
market segment differences and go after the whole market with one offer. It is the
type of marketing (or attempting to sell through persuasion) of a product to a wide
audience. The idea is to broadcast a message that will reach the largest number of
people possible. Traditionally mass marketing has focused on radio, television and
newspapers as the medium used to reach this broad audience.
A differentiated marketing strategy is one where the company decides to provide
separate offerings to each different market segment that it targets. It is also called
multi segment marketing and as is clearly seen that it tries to appeal to multiple
segments in the market. Each segment is targeted uniquely as the company
provides unique benefits to different segments. It increases the total sales but at the
expense of increase in the cost of investing in the business.
Concentrated marketing is a strategy which targets very defined and specific
segments of the consumer population. It is particularly effective for small
companies with limited resources as it does not believe in the use of mass
production, mass distribution and mass advertising. There is no increase in the total
Profits of the sales as it targets just one segment of the market.
For sales teams, one way to reach out to target markets is through direct marketing.
This is done by buying consumer database based on the segmentation profiles you
have defined. This database usually comes with consumer contacts (e.g. email,
13

mobile no., home no., etc.). Caution is recommended when undertaking direct
marketing efforts check the targeted country's direct marketing laws.
A principal concept in target marketing is that those who are targeted show a
strong affinity or brand loyalty to that particular brand. Target Marketing allows
the marketer / sales team to customize their message to the targeted group of
consumers in a more focused manner.
Research has shown that racial similarity, role congruence, labeling intensity of
ethnic identification, shared knowledge and ethnic salience all promote positive
effects on the target market. Research has generally shown that target marketing
strategies are constructed from consumer inferences of similarities between some
aspects of the advertisement (e.g., source pictured, language used, lifestyle
represented) and characteristics of the consumer (e.g. reality or desire of having the
represented style). Consumers are persuaded by the characteristics in the
advertisement and those of the consumer

Why target marketing? (Need of Target Marketing)
Organizations can use similar kind of strategies to promote their products within
a target market.
They can adopt a more focused approach in case of target marketing. They know
their customers well and thus can reach out to their target audience in the most
effective way.

How to create Target Market?
The organization must first decide who all individuals would fit into a particular
segment. A male and a female cant be kept in the same segment. The first and
the foremost step is to decide on the target market.
The next step is to identify need and preference of the target market. It is
essential to find out what the target market expects from the product.
Once the target market is decided, organizations can decide on the various
strategies helpful to promote their product.

How to Narrow the Target Market according to experts:
Companies that try to be all things to all customers are sure to fail
The process of finding a target market and narrowing your company's focus to
appeal to it directly often trips up new businesses, who find it difficult to turn
down business opportunities when they arise. But trying to be all things to all
people is a sure way to fail in the marketplace. There are certain tips to help
narrowing target market:
The Dangers of Being Unfocused
Whatever market you're in, you've likely got a lot of competition and static
standing between you and the consumer. Narrowing your focus to one specific
demographic or slice of the marketplace gives potential customers a reason to
notice you in the rest of the fray.
"If one is not differentiating yourself in the marketplace, what happens is the
consumer looks at price as being the motivator," says Susan Friedmann, author of
the books Riches in Niches and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Target Marketing.
"And they look at the cheapest."
If one doesnt know specifically which customers you are speaking to, you are
actually speaking to no one, says Tammy Lenski, a business mediation expert who
has advised clients about successful business through target marketing.
"The big danger is that without a target market, it's like standing in a park shouting
in the wind," she says. "When you have a target market, its like standing in a park
and talking to a specific group of people."
16


That means one can't be afraid to exclude certain types of consumer from your
marketing or to target your advertising at small groups. Some customers will feel
left out, but those are the sacrifices necessary for a successful business, says Greg
Head, founder and CEO of New Avenue, a strategic marketing firm.
"Focus requires exclusion," he says. "If you're selling everything, you actually
mean nothing in the marketplace. Exclusion is fundamental to target markets."








17

Become an Expert in one Area
One way to hone in on a specific sector is to become an established resource in one
area..
"If you're an expert in your field, people will pay the price tag on whatever product
and service you offer," Friedmann says.
One can build up credibility by offering information for free through your
company's website or blog: things like tips, industry information, or niche data that
will help consumers think of you as a reliable expert in that area, she says.
"Your credibility comes with giving away information," she says. "If this is the
value I'm getting for free, what will I get if I pay for it?"
Entrepreneurs who do this successfully often start by following their passion,
Friedmann says. She recalled a massage therapist who loved cycling and found a
successful practice traveling with bike tours.
"If you can marry your passion with your profession, that's a really strong niche
market," she says.




18

Do the Market Research
Experts give several methods for whittling down the vast expanse of the market to
find your ideal target.
John Jantsch, creator of the Duct Tape Marketing System and Duct Tape
Marketing Consulting Network, which trains and licenses small business
marketing consultants, recommends a simple formula to identify who makes an
ideal client: he ranks customers by profitability.
"In that step alone, they start identifying work they have taken or would take that
they shouldn't be taking," Jantsch says.
Then he looks for clients that are already referring more business your way.
"They're referring business to you because they're having a great experience," he
says. "They're happy, they're beyond satisfied and that's why they're referring
business."
Friedmann says recommends looking for growth markets to identify burgeoning
new areas that may not be claimed by existing businesses.
Lenski says some clients find their niche first by focusing on the areas in which
they already have a strong interest, or by looking at markets that already know
about you and your services. Then, look for areas of the marketplace where a
gaping need exists that one can fill with company's services.


19

Tweak the Marketing
As simple as it sounds, the name of the company is crucial when narrowing your
market.
"I believe your name should say what you do," Friedmann says. "Using your own
personal name, unless you're like Madonna, isn't going to cut it. It doesn't mean
anything to anybody."
Words such as "branding coach" or "entertainment law" in official business title
help consumers quickly understand what you're all about.
Friedmann even created a new word to describe her focus: "nichepreneur."
One may have to change your branding strategy or marketing efforts to clarify your
mission. Once the target market is found, it is necessary to alter the advertising
efforts to go after the places and media used to generate new business.
"It's not just an advertisement that you do. It actually has to become part of
everything you do," Head says.
Marketing needs to highlight the specialization, which improves credibility, Head
says.
"You've got to be perceived as the best at something," he says.
Then, once the base is identified, use it to improve the business through things like
social media and interactive marketing to find out more about what the customers
are looking for, Lenski says.
20

"One has to essentially engage that market. It's a two-way conversation," she says.
"That's really where having a target market pays off."
How to Use Target Marketing to Grow a New Small Business:
As the founder of a new small business, one is most likely looking for a cost-
effective manner of marketing. Therefore, it is the best interest to direct efforts to
the target market.
Assuming homework is done and researched the target market, one first needs to
consider how to divide up your marketing list.
Questions like:
Are you looking to reach a specific geographic area?
Are you looking for customers in a certain age or income bracket that you think
are your prime audience?
These questions should be framed and kept in mind.
Once the audience is narrowed down, one should devise a means of reaching them
by presenting something of special interest to them. Often, new businesses use the
fact that they are brand new to lure their target audience. People like being in on
the ground floor of something new, especially if one is catering to their specific
tastes.
Lure them to the location or Web site with an offer of something that they would
appreciate, such as discounts or small giveaways. Foodies, for example, might stop
by for free samples at your new gourmet shop. Videogamers will drop in for free
downloads, software, or books and magazines that are geared toward gamers. The
21

key is to know as much about your target market and present them with some new
information, new products, new services, or new means of meeting their needs.
Once their interest is piqued, try to establish a means of communication with your
target group through newsletters, email, or mailings. As the core target audience
becomes satisfied customers, they will help to build customers through viral
marketing.
Build outward from a targeted group of steady customers and keep marketing to
the loyal customers as business grows.
Everybody talks about target markets and taking aim, but not everybody does it.
Target marketing is the only effective way to optimize marketing resources.











22

Target marketing is a better use of resources:
The marketing budget is going to be most effective when it reaches the selected
target market. When one looks at the big picture and sort through the marketing
jargon, the benefit of target marketing is simple - efficiency. Solid target
marketing is a method to more efficiently reach your customers. Target marketing
is a better use of the companys most valuable resources, i.e. time and money, to
generate additional revenue. It is as straightforward as that.
The goal is to get to know as much information about existing or prospective
customers. The more one knows about the customers, the better they will be able to
make decisions that will enhance the ability to communicate and connect with
them
Questions such as, who do you consider will benefit the most from your products
and services? Who are your ideal clients? What do they have in common? These
questions should be answered by the marketer.
Think of the people and their most common characteristics and attributes. One of
the best ways to identify your target market is to look at existing customer base. If
one does not have an existing customer base, or if one is targeting a completely
new audience, speculate on who they might be, based on their needs and the
benefits they will receive. Investigate competitors or similar businesses in other
markets to gain insight.



23

Focus on benefits:
One of the marketing fundamentals is focusing on benefits. This perspective is
critical to target marketing. One should pay close attention to the needs and
section of the market behaviors. Establishing an intimate understanding about
the needs of your target market is critical. How will customer profit or otherwise
gain from using your products or services? Meeting this need is one of the most
convincing points for sales to be made, cash to flow, and profits to result.
One must seek to quantify the value of offering a solution to this need. This can be
done by asking these questions about your products and services:
How much can it save your customer?
How much can it earn for your customer?
What intangible benefits might customers realize, and is it possible to quantify
these benefits?
What is your customer really buying? People purchase products and services to
realize one or more of the following benefits:
1. To save:
Money
Time
Effort
Resources
2. To increase:
24

Income
Investments
Future
Personal relationships
3. To reduce:
Expenses
Taxes
Liabilities
Trouble
4. To improve:
Productivity
Abilities
Confidence
Appearance
Peace of mind






25

The target market profile:
The target market process allows us to break down these groups of people so we
can better understand how to reach them. One way to do this is to create a target
market profile. Here is an example of a target market profile:

1. Geographics:
Lives within the ZIP codes 97401, 97402 and 97405.
2. Demographics:
Married.
Between the ages of 21-35.
At least one child.
Condominium or home owner.
Education experiences beyond high school.
Earning a combined annual family income of $50,000 or greater.
3. Psychographics:
Values time and considers it their single most limited resource.
Excited about accepting and using innovative ideas and products.
Consistent Web users. Prefer the Internet over magazines and newspapers
for information they trust.
Increasing resources invested into safety and security issues.
Beginning to plan for their future.
26

4. Behaviors:
They are leaders in product selection and respond to the opinions of the
industry experts when making purchase decisions.
This group will first look to the Internet to acquire this information.
They defend these decisions under most any circumstance and will
adamantly sell those that ask why they use the product or service and why
they made the choice they did.
This group can be a powerful, unpaid sales force resulting from the referral
network they build and use.
The more detail you know about your ideal customers and clients, the better you
will be able to make them aware of your products and services, and how to
purchase them through you.
Target marketing allows you to reach, create awareness in, and ultimately
influence, that group of people most likely to select your products and services as a
solution to their needs, while using fewer resources and generating greater returns.
27

How to Identify the Target Market?


Identify the businesss target market so that one can best serve
and advertise directly to the real customers. To identify the target market these
questions should be answered:
What are you selling, and what makes it so unique? For example, what makes
ones merchandise different from what people can buy from other
big retail chains?
To whom do you want to sell it? Is the person selling it to parents, to retirees
to environmentally conscious?
Why should people buy the product or service from you? Is the person open
very late at night so that customers who work long hours can drop by your
store? Does one offer free delivery of large items so that walk-in customers
dont have to lug the product home?
28

When one has the answers to these questions, two things need to be done:
Focus on the primary market. Many business owners fall into the trap of
believing that their products or services are for everyone that is, anyone
would be interested in or need the products. But even if the business appeals
to a broad market of diverse consumers, one needs to identify who your ideal
consumer is. After the target market is identified, advertising should match
that focus.
Research the market. Knowing the target audience is critical: the ads wont
work if they dont appeal to what the potential customers want or need. One
should research and identify as much as possible about the people the
company wants to sell to.
The market research can take many forms:
Demographics: If you oversee the advertising for a new business (or you
want to go after a new type of consumer for your business), you can start
by checking out some basic demographic information. The best research
comes from primary sources in other words, you should call around
for information.
Publications: You may also be able to find information in publications,
which may track demographics, sales information, trends in your
industry, and other useful consumer information.
Potential customers: Conduct an informal poll by asking potential
customers especially those you've identified as your target audience
what theyre looking for that other business dont provide.
29

Differentiate the business from the competitors (in a good way) by targeting
customer needs and attracting business!

We can easily understand the mission statement by following points like;
Cadburys mean quality
This is our promise
Our reputation is build upon quality

And it says our commitment to continuous improvement and the demand and

and demands by continuous improvement in the features of products.

In short we can say that company turned its mission statement into practical form
33

and set its overall objectives and goals as Cadbury do and now a day become a
market leader.
Indian chocolate market is estimated to be around 1500 crores (ACNielson)
growing at 18-20% per annum with a production volume of 30,800 tonnes. Over
70 per cent of the consumption takes place in the urban markets. Chocolate sales
have risen by 15% in 2007 to reach 36000 tonnes according to one estimate.
Cadbury merged with Schweppes in 1969. Currently, this successful company is
employing approximately about 43,000 people worldwide. Today, Cadbury
Schweppes is the world's fourth biggest supplier of chocolate and sugar
confectionery.
One of its products, Dairy Milk was introduced in 1905, and has become the most
successful molded chocolate in UK history and the basic ingredient for many other
Cadbury products. 95 years later, Dairy Milk is one of the world's most famous
brand names and the company's leading chocolate bar by revenue.
Sales from Cadbury's Dairy Milk alone are estimated at over 135 million for
1995. Cadbury considers its success is based on three factors: quality, value for
money and good advertising.
It is important to investigate on the internal and external environmental forces for
the Dairy Milk in a foreign market. Relevant organizational and industrial
information is required for the development of a SWOT analysis
Of particular interest and concern are factors that affect their food- and nutrition-
related decisions and behavior. Many factors interplay to affect children's and
teenage youths' consumer decision making skills and behavior that can directly
influence their dietary choices and eating patterns. The family has been identified
as one of the most influential environmental factors affecting food- and nutrition-
34

related decisions and behavior, operating at the levels of parent modeling and
parent-child interactions. Commercialism is broadly defined as the vehicle of
communication that creates consumer awareness and induces the desire for specific
products; its goal is to increase consumer demand and commercial profit 1
Commercial pressures on children and teenage youth may encourage continual
consumption and acquisition at the expense of informed consumer decision making
and environmental sensitivity2. Children with poorly developed consumer
decision-making skills are unprepared to make wise purchases as adults, a situation
that has serious implications for the consumer habits and nutritional health of
future generations. Children constitute three different markets: the primary, the
influencer, and the future market. Certain products are simply children's products
for which they are the primary users/buyers. They sometimes either purchase a
product themselves or select the product before the parents purchase it.

The target market is non-exclusively 18-25 year olds. This follows previous
market approaches, re-enforces engagement withyounger audiences, connecting
with influencers and a large proportion of early adopters

The prospective customers of Cadbury Dairy Milk have changed have changed
from kids to adults-including every family member to celebrate any occasion with
Dairy Milk.

Cadbury India
Cadburys Dairy Milk started in Bourneville in the UK in 1905, but the journey
with true chocoholics started in India 43 years later. Cadburys has been the
number one market leader in chocolate sales for years. Cadburys has claimed that
it has been the source of every Indians moment of happiness, joy and celebration
whether this is true, its doubtful. To this day, Cadbury Dairy Milk alone has a
30% value share in the Indian chocolate market.
In the early 90s, indulgent chocolates were only seen as a childs heavenly dream
- only rewarded for good behaviour, or perhaps even for a bribe. However, in the
mid 90s a new campaign was released, (The Real Taste of Life) re-defining the
outlook from just for kids to the kids in all of us. This new campaign brought
out the forgotten child in every adult, flushing back memories of the very first
moment they tasted chocolate. Cadbury Dairy Milk soon became the ideal
expression of spontaneity and shared good feels.

The variants Fruit & Nut, Crackle and Roast Almond, combine the taste of
Cadbury Dairy Milk with a variety of ingredients and are very popular amongst
teens & adults. Today, Cadbury Dairy Milk alone holds 30% value share of the
Indian chocolate market

In the early days, the brand had a huge fan following among kids. In order to build
stronger appeal among older age groups, the brand re-positioned itself through the
classic Real Taste of Life campaign in 1994. The campaign positioned Cadbury
Dairy Milk as the chocolate that awakened the little child in every grown up and
very soon, both teenagers and adults, were hooked on to this bar of pure magic.
With the launch of the Rs. 5 pack in 1998, CDM became more affordable and
hence more accessible for the masses. The ensuing positioning of Khaane Waalon
ko khaane ka Bahana Chhayie made consumption into a joyful, social occasion.
In 2004, the `Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye campaign was launched, seeking to
increase CDM consumption by making it synonymous with traditional
sweets (Mithai). With Amitabh Bachchan as the face and voice of the brand, the
campaign went on to become a huge success. People could relate to the
commercials that were aired to promote Cadbury Dairy Milk. How many can
forget the `Pappu Pass Ho Gaya commercial? The country cheered on as Pappu
fell in love in the Pappu Love Test commercial. Then came`Miss Palampur and
the country celebrated the beauty pageant with a difference. The`Kenya
commercial that was aired in 2008 celebrated the spirit of cricket and that of true
38

sportsmanship. In 2009, we aired another commercial under the `Kuch Meetha Ho
Jaaye platform, called the `Pay Day commercial.
In the year 2010, the `Shubh Aarambh campaign was launched, drawing lines
from the traditional Indian custom of having something sweet before embarking on
something new. With `Shubh Aarambh, Cadbury took the Dairy Milk journey a
step further into the hearts of its million lovers.
With the current campaign Khaane Ke Baad Meethe Mein Kuch Meetha Ho
Jaaye, our aim is to introduce the thought of having a CDM as a post
dinner meetha (dessert).




Cadbury sees great potential in biscuits, the fastest growing processed food
segment in India. According to a Nielsen study, the category grew at 17 per cent in
39

2010; but the per capita consumption remains low, indicating a big opportunity to
grow.

Cadbury India Ltd. will launch Oreo cookies. Oreo will be launched in April,
almost a century after it was introduced in the US market. Oreo is present in the
Indian market through the import route, but hardly had sales traction due to its
premium sticker price. But now, Kraft has slashed its price tag to INR 5 for 3
biscuits; INR 10 for 7 biscuits; and INR 20 for 14 biscuits so that it is within the
reach of a wider consumer base.

Oreos global Twist, Lick, Dunk (TLD) communication broke across media
including television, print, radio, below-the-line and digital.
Oreo has used the TLD proposition in its communication in over 107 markets for
nearly a hundred years. Says Venkatesan, We want our brand to encourage fathers
and mothers to spend quality time with their children. Oreos maiden television
campaign in India broke during the ICC World Cup 2011 to grab maximum
eyeballs.
Oreo also had a hard-to-miss outdoor campaign where the Oreo biscuit packets
were mounted on bus shelters. A mobile van also carried the TLD communication
forward; there was a large fabricated glass of milk on a van and the biscuit could
be seen moving up and down as though it was being dipped into the glass of milk.
Oreo started the second part of its campaign in India recently by introducing the
concept of the Oreo Togetherness Bus. Starting from New Delhi on June 8, 2011,
the blue Oreo bus travelled across eight other cities Mumbai, Bangalore,
Ahmedabad, Pune, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mysore. People got to know
40

of the arrival of the Oreo bus in their respective cities through hoardings, ads in the
city supplements of newspapers and through FM radio.
The bus provided parents with a platform to bond with their children and
encouraged them to spend more time with their kids. This initiative by Oreo
germinated from a survey conducted by Cadbury, Oreo Togetherness Quotient,
which showed that parents today crave for a little more time with their children,
away from their hectic work schedules. Oreo decided to bridge the gap with its
Oreo bus. Inside the bus, parents and their children were encouraged to participate
in activities based on Oreos TLD proposition. Parents were also encouraged to
take the Oreo Pledge a promise to spend more time with their children.

Cadbury Bournvita is among the oldest brands in the Malt Food category with a
rich heritage and has always been known to provide the best nutrition to aid growth
and all round development. Launched in 1948, throughout its history, Cadbury
Bournvita has continuously re-invented itself in terms of product, packaging,
promotion & distribution. The Cadbury lineage and rich brand heritage has helped
the brand maintain its leadership position and image over the last 60 years.
The brand has been an enduring symbol of mental and physical health ever since it

brand distinct from other offerings. It is hardly surprising then, that Bournvita
enjoys a major presence in the Malt Food market.
It is a universal truth that mothers attach a lot of emotional importance to
nourishment while bringing up their children. However, children always look out
for the tastiest option to make their daily dose of milk more enjoyable.

popular chocolate taste, and its latest offering, Cadbury Bournvita 5 Star Magic,

Marketing objectives

Cadbury Schweppes is a marketing focused company. Its success relies on
satisfying the needs of its consumers. It is able to do this by continually listening to
consumers and learning about their changing requirement.
In response to these requirements, Cadbury Schweppes seeks to create new
products, build on existing core brands and find new ways to add value to existing
products. A key marketing objective for large business organisations is to focus on
the most profitable opportunities in global markets in their particular product
category. This can take the form of value or volume or a mix of both and can be
seen in all forms of mass consumption products from shampoo and toothpaste, to
baked beans, confectionery and beverages.
The logic is simple - by gaining the visibility, profitability and volume in the
global market, a business is best placed to provide its consumers with quality
products and the best value for money.
In this respect Cadbury Schweppes is representative of leading-edge international
business practice focusing on the two growth markets of Beverages and
Confectionery, which between 1992 and 1997 increased in volume by 25 per cent
and 20 per cent respectively. Another marketing objective is to increase the volume
of sales and market share by a process of innovation - in products, packaging and
route to market. Innovation is the process of developing better solutions and
methods of conducting business.
Having a culture of innovation helps companies stay ahead of the competition.
Innovative business organisations place great emphasis on being able to take
advantage of new opportunities - identifying changes in the business environment
60

and, after evaluating market research information, allocating resources to capitalise
on these opportunities.
An organisation which is in touch with the changing business environment and its
consumers' changing perceptions, interests and needs will be able to create
innovative products which best satisfy consumer requirements.
The development of Cadbury's Yowie in Australia exemplifies these marketing
objectives and provides a good lesson in how to use Cause Related Marketing
effectively. Yowie is an exceptionally successful product which has won a large
share of the children's confectionery market in Australia. It was voted best new
confectionery product in the world in 1997 by the world's grocery press. It is a
value-for-money, exciting and entertaining chocolate product which is related to an
important cause - the environment.
n this way, the Yowie typifies the innovation process of adding more value to a
product in a socially desirable way. This type of Cause Related Marketing is
central to Cadbury's marketing strategies - to give consumers the benefits that they
want.

Cadbury Highlights (target marketing)
10 JANUARY 2011




This January, Cadbury Highlights is helping retailers to maximise hot chocolate
sales with a six figure consumer marketing campaign, during the key winter hot
chocolate season.
Beginning in early January, the campaign will reach consumers during the New
Year period when many of the target audience of 35-45 year old females may be
sticking to New Year resolutions, but still crave a warm, comforting chocolate
treat.
Running across womens press, radio and online platforms, the campaign will
champion the brands low 40 calorie content which makes it particularly appealing
to consumers. With the theme the lightest cup from Cadbury, the press and radio
69

adverts will focus on how light the drink is on calories, while delivering the same
deliciously chocolatey Cadbury taste that consumers expect.
To support the advertising, a sampling campaign will run concurrently, with
samples of ready to drink Cadbury Highlights, as well as take home sachets being
distributed through Toni & Guy hair salons. The campaign will also be bolstered
by an online presence for the brand, with activity planned for the Cadbury
Highlights Facebook page.
Susan Nash, Trade Communications Manager for Cadbury UK, comments:
Cadbury is the biggest hot chocolate and cocoa manufacturer in the UK and
Cadbury Highlights milk chocolate 220g is the biggest low calorie hot chocolate
SKU in the market . This ad campaign will further drive that position, as well as
highlighting the category as a whole.
This campaign is a great opportunity to remind consumers about Cadbury
Highlights, a brand which offers consumers all the great taste they expect from
Cadbury hot drinks, but with only 40 calories. This makes it a great proposition for
retailers to stock during the key post-Christmas sales period for low calorie hot
beverages.

Cadbury's strategic success is due to three core pillars: high quality, sound
advertising, and value for money.

Marketing Strategy Models
Cadbury strategically applies marketing models as a combination of activities to
transfer its products to the end-customers. Vast variety of marketing activities
requires proper management of to effectively promote products on the
confectionary markets through marketing channels. In its strategic choice of
appropriate marketing model, Cadbury emphasizes on such strategic issues:
Connecting Cadbury with customers;
Performing sales, promotions and advertising;
Impacting Cadbury's pricing strategy;
Influencing product strategy through willingness to stock, branding policies, and
profit customizing.
The selection of the most advantageous marketing strategy for Cadbury depends on
a number of factors. Thus, marketing strategy should be perceived as the
designated action plan which will help Cadbury to reach its strategic aims and
objectives. Cadbury's long-term marketing strategy (based on Ansoff matrix)
concerns the launch of new chocolate brands and their promotion on the global
markets. Alternatively, the company should win more international markets
through the manufacturing and exporting new products (e.g. cereal bars). Further
recommendations concern the appropriateness of the strategic choices to be made
by Cadbury in the nearest future.
In terms of further strategic growth, Cadbury should apply Ansoff Growth Matrix
while focusing on new products and perspective markets. Apparently, there is no
need for Cadbury to advance and promote the existing chocolate products since
they are already widely acknowledged in terms of quality and high reputation
among the Cadbury's target markets.
Appropriate marketing channels set up the strategy which enables Cadbury to win
competition, avoid tactical mistakes, maximize profits and achieve success.
71

Cadbury should therefore figure out how it measures success before it can go out
and conquer it, whether it is market share, profit margin, return on investment,
residual income, brand image, a reputation for being environmentally green, stock
share price, or some other measure its stakeholders deem worthy.
Most companies compete in the market by applying competitive priorities,
including quality, cost, flexibility as well as other priorities, depending on their
manufacturing capacity. Top management support is the major driver of quality
management, which significantly correlates with other quality management
practices. In addition to this, customer orientation is not significantly correlated
with external quality results (profitability). At that, top management support,
employee training, and employee involvement are the three statistically significant
variables in explaining the variability in internal quality results.
Cadbury's marketing channels are aimed at the consumer market. The company is
focusing much on the needs and wants of the consumer and what exactly
differentiates its products from the competition to develop more sales in this
market. Thus, Cadbury is working on the promotion of its direct model to create a
better position for itself in the consumer market. The peculiarity of Cadbury's
advertising campaign consists in its focus on the emotions of the chocolate lovers
compared to merely logical side of marketing and sales. In such a way, Cadbury
reassures its customer support by applying strong emotional advertising campaign
focusing on the preferences and likes of the consumers when they opt for a
chocolate purchase. In addition to faster transactions, shorter lines and happier
customers, such strategic approach to market modeling enables to see interaction
with the business through the eyes of the customer, understand customers' values
and demands, and seek ways to disrupt the competitive balance. For these
purposes, the company is applying such customer-oriented sources as print media,
television, radio, Internet, as well as social networks.
72

While aiming to increase Cadbury's sales, the company's management emphasizes
on the appropriateness of particular marketing activities that would best encourage
the demand for Cadbury's products. Cadbury's marketing objectives coincide with
its business strategy priorities ultimately targeted at profit-making and sales
increase.
Strategic marketing models for Cadbury are identified as follows:
Profit maximisation;
Survival;
Growth;
Sales maximisation;
Diversification; and
Improvement of product image.
The rational combination of these strategic marketing models determines the
competitive market position of Cadbury's. Through profit maximisation, Cadbury
solves dual strategic task - withstanding competition, on the one hand, and
restoring its financial health, on the other hand. Through growth, Cadbury sells
new products and expands its exports overseas. This strategy model enables the
company to cover new market niches internationally.
As for now, the company is present in 60 countries worldwide. Meanwhile, the
company permanently increases and maximizes its sales. Through diversification,
Cadbury spreads its business risks regardless of the successfulness of the sales of
one particular product. In marketing terms, it is of utmost strategic importance that
Cadbury constantly improves the image of its products by: (1) launching new
brands; (2) introducing innovative logos; and (3) applying attractive and
convenient packaging.
For instance, while promoting one of its chocolate products - Fuse', Cadbury
marketing strategy was aimed at the growth of chocolate confectionery market, as
73

well as the intensification of its presence on the snacking sector. Prior to launching
Fuse', Cadbury ensured that Fuse' differed (had relevant points of difference)
from the already existing competitors' chocolates. While conquering the snaking
sector and establishing its competitive share therein, Cadbury created USP (unique
selling proposition) which meant that Fuse' had unique appeal which differed from
any of the existing rival chocolates.
It is apparent that the implementation of a successful marketing strategy model
requires solid investment. While promoting Fuse', Cadbury heavily invested into
testing product's ingredients. As a result, final recipe of Fuse' included a
combination of more than 250 ingredients. This indicates that in marketing terms
Cadbury closely related product development to the specialized testing. This
helped the company to reach proper consumer demand.
The desired outcome was to make each customer feel comfortable with purchased
product and not regret their choice. At that, Cadbury is not applying the methods of
extreme advertising since its most powerful advertising tool is the word of mouth'.
In addition, purchasing the products, the customers are feeling they are backed.
To enhance consumer demand for its products and establish line promotion
Cadbury actively applies available consumer media and advertising sources
(including popular magazines, Internet, radio, TV and newspapers). Since 1990s,
the company promotes its brands through the taste-stimulating approach which
claims that Chocolate is Cadbury'. Such high recognition is owned to the brand
values previously promoted by the Company, and so now the consumers associate
the name of a company with the chocolate' as well as the pleasure of chocolate
tasting.
Since 2000, Cadbury Schweppes enters international markets with Choose
Cadbury' marketing strategy. The promotional strategy considers consumer
awareness as well as the rationality of consumer buying behaviour. The choice of
74

Cadbury's marketing strategy is built on the consideration of universal consumer
choice. In its strategic consumer-oriented thinking Cadbury developed proper
texture and distinctive taste that appeal to the consumers all over the world
regardless of their national chocolate preferences.
Cadbury's strategic marketing model was designated in a way to satisfy the major
preferences of chocolate lovers. Therefore, the company produced its two most
successful brands - Dairy Milk to suit dark milk chocolate admirers, and Cadbury's
Whole Nut', Dream' and CDM' to suit cream milk chocolate lovers.
Cadbury's product-specialized market strategy enabled the company to grow its
market share and lead competition with its main competitors on the confectionery
market.

Segmentation
The annual sales on the UK confectionary market ranges from 5 to 6 billion.
Herewith, chocolate sales amount to about 70% and worth 3-4bilion accordingly.
Since 2003, Cadbury has been increasing own share on the UK confectionary
market which makes up about 1/3 of the market. The remaining part is distributed
among Cadbury's main rivals Nestle and Mars.
While segmenting its target market Cadbury divides heterogeneous demand
markets into homogenous groups which are grounded on similar features.
Homogeneous segment enables the company to divide its target markets on the
basis of homogeneous features. While dividing its target market into segments,
Cadbury applies segmenting criteria that particularly feature each part of the
market:
Geographic Segmentation;
Demographic Segmentation;
Benefits-Sought Segmentation;
Psychographic Segmentation;
Behavior/Usage Segmentation; and
Situation Segmentation
Segmentation Base groups diversify target markets on the basis of such criteria as:
social class, lifestyles and psychological features (attitudes, interests and opinions),
and include the following:
Social class;
Life-cycle;
Income Level;
Education; and
Ethical background
76

Cadbury's target market is segmented on the basis of the benefits demanded by the
customers with regard to specific chocolate products. Purchase situation assumes:
Social surroundings;
Physical surroundings; and
Temporal perspective
The segmentation of Cadbury's target markets is made with the consideration of
how often consumers buy chocolate products. In this regard, Pareto's Principle of
80/20 indicates that 80% of revenue is generated by 20% of customers.
Segmentation variables used to segment business markets:
Industry;
Size;
Product demand;
Purchasing approaches;
Geographic factors;
Situational factors; and
Seasonal trends
In addition, while segmenting its target markets, Cadbury considers the following
issues:
Differences in consumer preferences for particular chocolate products;
The co-relation of the variability of individual customer preferences with the
measurable variables;
The profitability of the targeted market segment considering its purchasing power
and size capacity; and
The accessibility and attractiveness of the targeted market.


77

Introducing Cadbury as an after dinner sweet:
One of the biggest marketing strategies followed by Cadbury in India was
introducing Cadbury as an after dinner sweet. Indians are fond of having dessert
after their dinner. Cadbury aimed at replacing the traditional sweets. Apart from its
after dinner advertisement Cadbury
targetedadults rather than children. In most of its advertisements, the brand is endo
rsed andadvertised by adults rather than by children even though it basically sells
chocolate.
Suchtype of advertisements have created a very wide range of consumers
for Cadbury. Its products are not limited to children alone. Adults like the products
of Cadbury as much as children do. Another reason for Cadbury being such a
successful brand was that it aimed at replacing the traditional sweet custom so
prevalent in India. Indians have the habit of carrying sweets as gifts when they visit
a friend or relatives. Cadbury items became the new sweets. It was not only
considered better but also superior to carry Cadbury instead of the normal sweets.
Cadbury also aimed at selling in bulk during festive seasons such as diwali and
rakhi. Diwali and rakhi packs are designed to give a feel of the festivities going on.
They are exclusively indianised. The chocolate packs contain special chocolates
such as dry fruits rich chocolates as people normally serve dry fruits during diwali.
.The most important marketing policy being, implemented during the festive
season. The sonsumptions of sweets is at its zenith during the festive season. India
being a country of rich culture and diversified religions has a hand full of festivils.
Cadbury makes most out of this season by introducing gift boxes thus spreading
joy
78

Cadbury associates itself with emotions and sentiments of people through
relationships of friendship and brotherhood.3. Sponsorship- Bournvita kid contest,

Indian team at the Moscow Olympics

innovativeness has captured every segment of the society6. Innovation in product
range has been a major advancement by Cadbury in retaining its market share.

Cadbury which inurn increases the acceptability in the market. it has roped in
bollywood legend Amitabh Bachan and the ravishing Preity Zinta to endorse its
products diary milk and perk respectively






79

Recommendations : Maintain dominance in chocolate, confectionery and market
leadership in blown drinks. New channels such as gifting, child connectivity and
value for money offering to be the key growth drives. Grow volume sales at least
20% p.a. over the next years. Achieve the goal of best manufacturing location in
Cadbury Schweppes world for Dairy Milk and clairs. One new major product
launch every year.
Choosing the right target market is essential to your marketing strategy. A good
target market will not only need and value your products and services but also be
profitable. Theres no point in targeting people who cant afford to pay, nor should
you try to convince and persuade people who dont want or need your services to
buy from you.
From your perspective, not everyone that wants to hire you will be a profitable
client. For example, you may have worked with difficult clients in the past who
never seemed satisfied. Odds are, you probably dont want more of those clients.
Youre left with a fairly small number of people who have a need for your services
and who youd like to work with.
How to Choose a Target Market
Choosing a target audience requires doing some initial research up front. You want
to make sure that you can offer services that solve your prospects immediate
problems, that you understand their motivations and psychological needs, and that
you can establish a good working relationship with them.
The first step to picking a target involves compiling the information you currently
have about your current customers. This includes details about:
o Demographics Where do they live? How much do they make? How old are
they? Their gender?
80

o Lifestyle What do they do for a living? What motivates them? What types of
interests and hobbies do they have? What type of car do they drive? Where do they
go on holidays or vacations?
o Lifetime Value Are they a one time buyer or are they likely to need your
services on an ongoing basis? How much will it cost to acquire them? Are they
price shoppers?
o Attitude Towards Technology Do they buy the latest and greatest, or do they
wait until everyone else is doing it? How do they connect to the internet, and what
do they do while online? What types of media channels do they respond best to?

Target Market Research
You can acquire a large amount of this information by collecting the information
you currently have on your clients from sales information to complaints and
suggestions.
You also should look at responses to previous marketing campaigns. How have
previous campaigns, either by your firm or by competitors, worked with target
prospects? Which media channel got the best results? Which campaign message
worked best?
Finally, trade magazines and published reports can fill in the gaps you may still
have. Many target prospects may not know they have a need for your service, so
you have no data to profile those youve never had contact with before. Or perhaps
data youve collected is now obsolete.
81

Creating Persona Behaviors
Once youve compiled your data, youll probably find that you have a number of
potential targets to choose from. The best way to analyze which to target is to
create an ideal profile for each group. This requires some brainstorming and role
playing to come up with fictitious personas. You should make profiles as true to
your target audience as possible giving him or her a name, a job, a family,
hobbies, technology attitudes, and media preferences. Using each profile, you can
play out different scenarios to best reach each person and move them through their
purchase cycle from awareness to purchasing your services.
Now you are in a position to forecast how much it will cost to acquire each person,
what media channels will best reach them, what types of information and messages
each persona will respond best to, and how much they will likely spend on your
services. You can back up your predictions with case study data from your current
and past clients. This allows you to calculate the costs to execute each scenario
against how much it will bring in. Clearly, the personas that bring in the best
returns will be your most profitable clients.
Market Orientated
Cadbury are market orientated - they use research to establish what people want.
They try to identify, anticipate, and satisfy people's needs through their market
research They know their market: 95% of people eat chocolate. They look for a
market gap because that will give them the greatest chance of success. It should
increase their effectiveness, profitability, and help them identify new market
segments. They are constantly looking for new ways of promoting their products
e.g. via 3G mobile phones. This is instead of being a product orientated company
where a business will design a product then find a market for it.
82

Cadburys want to understand the following areas in their research
Customers Markets
Suppliers Competitors
External factors trends
Research allows Cadburys to serve the needs of customers better, compete more
effectively and plan more sensibly

86


Conclusion
Cadbury has emerged as the leader in the confectionary segment as it has
successfully enlarged its target base by designing chocolates for adults also, as per
their needs and requirements. Some Cadbury chocolates include nuts and dry fruits
which are nutritious. The taste preferences and choices of consumers vary
according to their age.
Cadbury chocolate packed with material, aluminum foil paper is done in order to
prevent it from physical damage and deterioration. Cadbury provides the customers
with a tempting and exquisite taste as Enticing Treats means a mouth watering
treat which is simply irresistible.
From the questionnaire prepared and survey conducted I feel that Cadbury has
successfully captured the target market through various marketing efforts and
expanded its business and has become successful by introducing new range of
products which caters the needs of young and adult consumers.
