INTRODUCTION
TO THE
STUDY
INTRODUCTION
In this research I have survey the product performance and buying behavior of two
famous brands of chocolates – Nestle and Cadbury, which are consumed by people of all
ages. During this research I have interacted with people of “Sitapur”. 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
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase,
from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successful
marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know the
time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he may
store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Gone
are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer’s beware or when the market
was mainly the seller’s market. Now the whole concept of consumer’s 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 of objectives/goals.

The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers make
buying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the goods
they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of any company or
product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration towards consumer
preference.
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
consumer’s needs, but the marketer’s objectives.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perception
and consumption of Cadbury and Nestle Chocolates. There are many other brands of
chocolates available but my study is limited to two major players of chocolates leaving
behind the others. The scope of my study is also restricts itself to Sitapur region only.

Executive Summary
Cadbury Dairy Milk is a brand of chocolate bar made by the Cadbury plc unit
of Kraft Foods and sold in several countries around the world. It first went on
sale in the United Kingdom in 1905.
The Cadbury dairy milk silk is launched by the Kraft foods Inc which is the
largest confectionery, food, and Beverage Corporation headquartered in the
US. The Kraft foods Inc take over Cadbury in 2010 which is the British
confectionery company, the industry's second-largest globally. This product is
launched globally.
This presentation includes situation and category analysis of the chocolate
industry and the major companies at the forefront.
Chocolate Market in U.S’ sales is increasing every year. In 2007, total
chocolate sales equaled 141.2, and in year after sales increased to 158.5
billion dollars. This substantial gain is expected to repeat, and by year 2013,
total sales are going to reach above 180 billion dollars. Without a doubt, the
chocolate industry can be expected to be successful for years to come,
therefore, Cadbury’s dairy milk is in a very attractive industry with a strong
market potential.

Product/Brand Strategy and Supporting Marketing Programs for dairy milk will
be explained in detail. These include new product formulation, improved
packaging design and extensive sales promotion
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This project is based on the comparative study consumer behavior towards Nestle and
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 can’t be eliminated though all necessary steps were
taken to avoid the same.

INTRODUCTION
TO CHOCOLATES
AND
COMPANY PROFILE

Chocolate
The very word makes your mouth water.
Chocolate is more than just a food: it’s a state of mind.

Chocolates
Chocolates! Chocolates!
Every body has a liking for them, be they in the form of bar
Or a tiny little gem,
Or shaped like a rectangle,
Or a sphere, a brick or an éclair.
For chocolate lovers it is fun,
To have them during rain, breeze or sun.
They are white and brown in color,
And taste sweet and bitter
Some have them in a glass of cold coffee, or in the form of a toffee.
Some eat them when they are sad
Some relish them when they are happy or have sweet dreams,
But I feel, to have chocolates
We don’t need a reason,
‘Cause we can have it..Anytime, any season..

History of chocolate:
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.
The Aztec empire
“Chocolate”(in the form of a luxury drink) was consumed in large quantities by the
aztecs: the drink was described as “ finely ground, soft, foamy, reddish, bitter with chilli
water, aromatic flowers, vanilla and wild bee honey.
The dry climate meant the Aztecs were unable to grow cocoa trees, and had to obtain
supplies of cocoa beans from “ tribute” or trade
Don Cortes
The Spanish invaded Mexico in the 16th
century, by this time the Aztecs had created a
powerful empire, and the Spanish armies conquered Mexico. Don Cortes was made
captain general and governor of Mexico.
When he returned to Spain in1528 he loaded his galleons with cocoa beans and
equipment for making the chocolate drink. Soon “chocolate” became a fashionable drink
enjoyed by the rich in Spain.
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.

Drinking chocolate
The secret of chocolate was taken to France in 1615, when Anne, daughter of Phillip 2 of
Spain married king Louis 13 of France
The French court enthusiastically adopted this new exotic drink, which was considered
to have medicinal benefits as well as being a nourishing food. Gradually the custom of
drinking chocolate spread across Europe, reaching England in the 1650’s
First chocolate for eating
Up until this point all chocolate recipes were based on plain chocolate. It was an English
doctor, sir Hans’s 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. This drink
was reserved for use in ceremonies as well as for drinking by the wealthy and religious
elite; they also ate cacao porridge.
The Aztecs, like the Mayans, also enjoyed cacao as a beverage fermented from the raw
beans, which again featured prominently in ritual and as a luxury available only to the
very wealthy. The Aztecs called this drink xocolatl, the Spanish conquistadors found this

almost impossible to pronounce and so corrupted it to the easier “ chocolat” the English
further changed this to chocolate.
The Aztec’s regarded chocolate as an aphrodisiac and their emperor, Montezuma
reputedly drank it fifty times a day from a golden goblet and is quoted as saying of
xocolatl: “ the divine drink, which builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this
precious drink permits a man to walk for a whole day without food”
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 Aztec’s 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 17th
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 sheep’s droppings, they burned the whole
ship in frustration. If only they had known, chocolate was so expensive at that time, that
it was worth it’s weight in silver ( if not gold), chocolate was treasure indeed !
Within a few years, the cocoa beverage made from the powder produced in Spain had
become popular throughout Europe, in the Spanish Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany
and – in about 1520 – it arrived in England.
The first chocolate house in England opened in London in 1657 followed rapidly by
many others. Like the already well established coffee houses, they were used as clubs
where the wealthy and business community met to smoke a clay pipe of tobacco,
conduct business and socialize over a cup of chocolate.

Back to the America’s
Event’s went full circle when English colonists carried chocolate (and coffee) with them
to England’s 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 Quaker’s 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 that’s 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 world’s first chocolate bar. Fry’s have
now all but disappeared (taken over by Cadbury) 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 1600’s. Then in 1828 a Dutch chemist,
Johannes van houten, invented a method 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.
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.
TheHarvest
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.
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
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.
Powder
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 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.

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 90’s when Cadbury repositioned
chocolates from children to adult consumption. The biggest opportunity is likely to stem
from increasing the consumer base. Leading players like Cadbury and Nestle have been
attempting to do this by value for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.
NESTLE’

Nestle India
Nestle’ India is a subsidiary of Nestle’ S.A. of Switzerland. The company insists on
honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of its business and expects the same in its
relationships.
Nestle India- Presence Across India
Beginning with its first investment in Moga in 1961, Nestlé’s regular and substantial
investments established that it was here to stay. In 1967, Nestlé set up its next factory at
Choladi (Tamil Nadu) as a pilot plant to process the tea grown in the area into soluble tea.
The Nanjangud factory (Karnataka), became operational in 1989, the Samalkha factory
(Haryana), in 1993 and in 1995 and 1997, Nestlé commissioned two factories in Goa at
Ponda and Bicholim respectively. Nestlé India is now putting up the 7th factory at Pant
Nagar in Uttaranchal.

Nestle’ Story
Nestlé was founded in 1867 on the shores of Lake Geneva in Vevey, Switzerland and its
first product was “Farine Lactée Nestlé”, an infant cereal specially formulated by Henri
Nestlé to provide and improve infant nutrition. From its first historic merger with the
Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in 1905, Nestlé has grown to become the
world’s largest and most diversified food Company, and is about twice the size of its
nearest competitor in the food and beverage sector.
Nestlé’s trademark of birds in a nest, derived from Henri Nestlé’s personal coat
of arms, evokes the values upon which he founded his Company. Namely, the values of
security, maternity and affection, nature and nourishment, family and tradition. Today, it
is not only the central element of Nestlé’s corporate identity but serves to define the
Company’s products, responsibilities, business practices, ethics and goals.
In 2004, Nestlé had around 247,000 employees worldwide, operated 500
factories in approx. 100 countries and offered over 8,000 products to millions of
consumers universally. The Company’s transparent business practices, pioneering
environment policy and respect for the fundamental values of different cultures have
earned it an enviable place in the countries it operates in. Nestlé’s activities contribute to
and nurture the sustainable economic development of people, communities and nations.
Above all, Nestlé is dedicated to bringing the joy of ‘Good Food, Good Life’ to people
throughout their lives, throughout the world.

CADBURY

How Cadbury Chocolate is made
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 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 flavour 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 best selling line and in the mid twenties
Cadbury's Dairy Milk gained 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 corporate office is in Mumbai.
Currently Cadbury India operates in three sectors viz. Chocolate Confectionery, Milk
Food Drinks and in the Candy category.
In the Chocolate Confectionery business, Cadbury has maintained its undisputed
leadership over the years. Some of the key brands are Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Perk,
Éclairs and Celebrations. Cadbury enjoys a value market share of over 70% - the highest
Cadbury brand share in the world! Their flagship brand Cadbury Dairy Milk is
considered the "gold standard" for chocolates in India. The pure taste of CDM defines the
chocolate taste for the Indian consumer.

In the Milk Food drinks segment their main product is Bournvita - the leading Malted
Food Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is the
undisputed leader.
The Cadbury India Brand Strategy has received consistent support through simple but
imaginative extensions to product categories and distribution. A good example of this is
the development of Bytes. Crispy wafers filled with coca cream in the form of a bagged
snack, Bytes is positioned as "The new concept of sweet snacking". It delivers the taste of
chocolate in the form of a light snack, and thus heralds the entry of Cadbury India into
the growing bagged Snack Market, which has been dominated until now by Salted
Bagged Snack Brands. Bytes was first launched in South India in 2003.
Since 1965 Cadbury has also pioneered the development of cocoa cultivation in India.
For over two decades, it has worked with the Kerala Agriculture University to undertake
cocoa research and released clones, hybrids that improve the cocoa yield.
Today, Cadbury is poised in its leap towards quantum growth and new categories of
business, namely gums, mints, snacking and gifting. It is a part of the Cadbury
Schweppes Group, world's No.1 Confectionery Company.
CADBURY WORLD WIDE
Cadbury is the world's largest confectionery company and have a
strong regional presence in beverages in the Americas and Australia.
With origins stretching back over 200 years, today their products -
which include brands such as Cadbury, Schweppes, Halls, Trident, Dr Pepper, Snapple,
Trebor, Dentyne, Bubblicious and Bassett - are enjoyed in almost every country around
the world. We employ around 60,00 people.
Their heritage starts back in 1783 when Jacob Schweppe perfected his
process for manufacturing carbonated mineral water in Geneva,

Switzerland. And in 1824 John Cadbury opened in Birmingham selling cocoa and
chocolate.
These two great household names merged in 1969 to form Cadbury Schweppes
plc. Since then they have expanded their business throughout the world by a
programme of organic and acquisition led growth.
Concentrating on their core brands in beverages and confectionery since the
1980s, they have strengthened their portfolio through almost fifty acquisitions,
including brand icons such as Mott's, Canada Dry, Halls, Trident, Dentyne, Bubblicious,
Trebor, Bassett, Dr Pepper, 7 Up and Snapple.

DAIRY MILK
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 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.
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.
Today, Cadbury Dairy Milk alone holds 30% value share of the Indian chocolate market.

5 STAR
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
colour. 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.

PERK
Cadbury launched Perk in 1996. With its light chocolate and wafer construct, Cadbury
Perk targeted the casual snacking space that was dominated primarily by chips & wafers.
With the rise of more value-for-money brands in the wafer chocolate segment, Cadbury
Perk unveiled 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

CELEBRATIONS
Cadbury Celebrations was aimed at replacing traditional gifting options like Mithai and
dry- fruits during festive seasons.
Cadbury Celebrations is available in several assortments: An assortment of chocolates
like 5 Star, Perk, Gems, Dairy Milk and Nutties and rich dry fruits enrobed in Cadbury
dairy milk chocolate in 5 variants, Almond magic, raisin magic, cashew magic, nut

The super premium Celebrations Rich Dry Fruit Collection which is a festive offering is
an exotic range of chocolate covered dry fruits and nuts in various flavours and the
premium dark chocolate range which is exotic dark chocolate in luscious flavours.

REASONS FOR NOT SWITCHING OVER TO OTHER BRANDS

All the consumers why they continue to buy the old brand gave various important
reasons. The most important reasons given by the consumers were:
 Taste/Flavor
 Brand
 Image
 Quality
 Packaging
FINDINGS
 CONSUMER RESEARCH:
Consumer research deals with consumer and their
problems and solution to the problems. In this I came to know about the
consumers need and expectation levels regarding products and ascertainable
levels of consumer satisfaction.

 PRODUCT RESEARCH:
Under product research I came to know about the
modification which consumers wants as to the quality, packing, shape, color, and
quantity etc of their favorite chocolate.
 PRICING RESEARCH:
This includes ability to consume, to pay for the product,
how much a person can spend on his/her favorite chocolate. In this I have tried to find
out consumer’s price expectations and reactions.
 ADVERTISING RESEARCH:
Under this I have concluded that whether the
advertisement appeals the consumers or not. This also includes evaluating and
selecting the proper media-mix and measuring advertising effectiveness.
CONCLUSION
A survey of the people has been conducted to know the liking pattern of
the two products Cadbury and Nestle. It is observed that overall people like to eat
Cadbury brand rather than Nestle. 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. Some people often like to have a chocolate with good flavor, quality

and crunchiness so they are going towards Kit Kat and Munch of Nestle due to its
taste and crunchiness.
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 get attracted through television only.
 For promotional offers, company should go for free gifts rather than going for
other ways.

 Nestle company should concentrate on its packing as people are least satisfied
with it while 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.
