Introduction

All marketing starts with the consumer. So, the consumer is a very important person to
a marketer. The consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to
purchase, from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. 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 liking of the consumers. Gone
are the days when the concept of the market was to let the buyer’s beware or when the
market was mainly the seller’s market. Now the whole concept of consumer 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, marketers 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 decisions, but also focuses on how and why consumers make a choice of
the goods they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So, for the success of
any company or product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration
towards consumer preference.
SCOPE OF STUDY
As learning is a human activity and is as natural as breathing. Even though 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

Page 2

ST UDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIO R TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK
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 Chocolates. There are many other brands
of chocolates available, but my study is limited to major players of chocolates leaving
behind the others. The scope of my study is also restricting itself to ROHTAK region
only.
ABOUT CHOCOLATE

Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around 160
gems in the urban areas, compared to 8-10 kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it
is even lower. Chocolate in India are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. A
strong volume growth was witness 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 have been attempting to do
this by value for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.

BRAND ELEMENT OF CADBURY:

Brand elements are those trademark able devices that identify and differentiate the brand.
Most strong brands employ multiple brand elements. Like Cadbury Dairy Milk has the
distinctive “any time crunchy, all time fresh”.
There are certain types of brand element listed below:

▪ Brand name
▪ Slogan
▪ Characters
▪ Logo
▪ Symbol
Dairy Milk has been meticulously built around the world by Cadbury. It has been able
to sustain a strong position in the market. There are many branding elements which have
resulted in consistent result of its success. In India and across the world, the only
chocolate wrapped in Purple with the logo of Cadbury written on it. Color of all other
products of Cadbury like Gems which is so colorful. Packaging which introduces slight
milk splash shows the relation of milk with Cadbury. Insignia Logo which comes on the
packaging in bold vintage Dairy font in white which also shows the relation of milk with

the product. Logo Not only the above three, but there are many more elements due to
which the consistent Branding of Dairy Milk is so very popular. It's different
Advertisements, its punch lines etc.… It has always kept a strong association with Milk,
with slogans such as “a glass and half of full cream milk in every half pound.” And
advertisement which featured a glass of milk pouring out and forming the Dairy Milk
bar. Also, the ad campaigns are also an important element of Dairy Milk. It made
chocolate an eating habit among the consumers, especially the adults. Long back it was
a belief that chocolate is only for kids. But Dairy Milk changed this belief. Also, they
changed the trend of Sweets (Mithai) during occasions like Diwali, New Year etc. Dairy
Milk brought a new trend that whether any occasion, Dairy Milk is best for all. It also
gave some famous dialogues from the ads which people remember always. They were
also the core brand elements of Dairy Milk.

Review of literature

Paul Rozin (1991) in his article states that Chocolate is the most craved food among
females and is craved by almost half of the female sample (in both age groups). Although
this craving is related to a sweet craving, it cannot be accounted for as a craving for sweets.
About half of the female cravers show a very well-defined craving peak for chocolate in
the premenstrual period, beginning from a few days before the onset of menses and
extending into the first few days of menses. There is not a significant relation in chocolate
craving or liking between parents and their children. Sarah Hagget (1994) says that a
controversial, government endorsed campaign to tackle obesity by encouraging children to
exchange chocolate bar wrappers for sports equipment. A company like Cadbury can
deliver 12 million messages into the marketplace and engage young people in positive
dialogue. Under the scheme, schoolchildren get “free” equipment when they collect tokens
from Cadbury chocolate bars. It has been calculated that children need to collect tokens
from 5440 chocolate bars for a net and set of volleyball posts. Lipp (1998) in his view
states that his work reviews the literature on the compositional data of vegetable fats used
or proposed as alternatives to cocoa butter in chocolate and confectionery products. Cocoa

butter is the only continuous phase in chocolate, thus responsible for the dispersion of all
other constituents and for the physical behavior of chocolate. Unique to cocoa butter is its
brittleness at room temperature and its quick and complete melting at body temperature.
There were, and are, strong efforts to replace cocoa butter in part for chocolate production
for technological and economic reasons. Philip K. Wilson (1999) from his view says that
in 1753, the noted nosologist, Carl Linnaeus, named it Theobroma cacao, food of the Gods.
Two and a half centuries later, Joanne Harris emphasized this exotic’s erotic sensations in
her award-winning fiction debut, Chocolat. For millennia, healers have touted its myriad
medicinal, yet mystical, abilities. By the 1950s, chocolate, what had long been used as a
drug, a food and as a source of currency, was being marketed merely as a pleasure-filled
snack. Over the next half century, the craving to carve out chocolate’s healthy, medicinal
qualities resurged.
Jan Wolgast (2000) feels that Cocoa beans are rich in polyphenols, catechins and Pro
anthocyanidins. However, a sharp decrease in quantity occurs during fermentation and
drying of cocoa beans and further retention has been reported during roasting.
Characterization and in particular quantification of polyphenols in chocolate has only been

Page 12
_ _ ________________________________________________________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A
ST UDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIO R TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK
developed relatively recently. This work reviews further on the literature on the available
methodology for analysis, quantification, isolation, purification, and structure elucidation
of polyphenols in cocoa components and other commodities. The characterization and
quantification of the polyphenol composition is amongst the first steps to be taken to
evaluate the putative contribution of chocolate to human health. Brands association
illustrates the confidence of the consumer in certain products developed by a company
compared to the competitors’ company Lassar, Mittal & Arun, 1995.
Positive brand associations can help to attract more consumers and make them stay loyal
to the brand. Strong brand association affects the loyalty of its consumer to the brand Yoo,
Donthu & Lee, 2020. Moreover, the way the company interacts with the consumer can
affect the loyalty of the consumer and their intention to buy Jaramillo & Valenzuela,
2016. According to Dilham, Sofiyah and Muda (2018), the loyalty of the customer plays
an important role in a company, because maintaining them can affect the financial
performance of the company. It is a key goal in consumer marketing communities as it is
a key component for company sustainability Ardani, Rahyuda, Giantari, &
Sukaatmadja, 2019. Furthermore, understanding buying behavior is one of the main

Page 13
_ _ ________________________________________________________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A
ST UDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIO R TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK
factors to improve the usage of consumers towards a brand. Factors such as cultural, social,
personal, and psychological factors affect the buying behavior of a person. For any
marketing activity that the company wants to implement, they have to take note of these
factors. For a multinational company like Cadbury, it is crucial to differentiate the needs
of their consumer from different demography before implementing its marketing strategies.
Moreover, customer satisfaction is the outcome from the consumer itself on how they
perceived some product or service provided, whether it brings them a feeling of fulfillment
or otherwise Irawan, 2009. Customer experience plays a major role in helping companies
to keep growing. Asking a customer about their experience is better than saying or writing
ourselves’ experience Greer, 2015. Review from the consumer itself about a product or
services can help to serve as a way for the company to improve its strategies on marketing.
In a nutshell, to study the consumer perception on the usage of Cadbury products in India,
we need to look at the brand associations, buying behavior, and customer satisfaction. By
studying these elements, it helps us to get a clear picture of the consumer perception India
consumers.

CONCLUSION
From this study the researcher concludes all chocolates brand of “CADBURY DAIRY
MILK CHOCOLATE” should take necessary promotional activities to increase their
demand by introducing new flavor in small quantities of pack. As cost was not a matter
fact, the producers can withstand the chocolates market in Coimbatore District. Again,
variety of Advertisement through television media will increase the marketability of dairy
milk chocolates. Consumer perception towards Cadbury dairy milk chocolates in
Coimbatore district was affected by Brand, Quality, Flavor, Taste and Source of awareness
upon the consumer perception factors. From the analysis of consumer perception towards
Cadbury dairy milk chocolate, the researcher concluded that the consumer level of
satisfaction is good.
This project is focused on consumer’s preference towards products. From my study, I found
out that majority of This project is focused on consumer’s preference towards products.
And my conclusion from this study is that if process is lowered, then the Cadbury Company
can attract more consumers and increase their market shares and to provide more and more
variety flavors in chocolates and to give little much importance to other products as

Page 34
_ _ ________________________________________________________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A
ST UDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIO R TOWARDS CADBURY-DAIRY MILK
Biscuits, Health Drinks, Juice mix flavors etc. If these changes are made, then all products
of Cadbury will attract more customers and increase their markets.
After the data analysis from both the sources: primary and secondary data, it can be
concluded that in India Cadbury’s is enjoying its success to a gr eat extent beside the fact
that other competitors, mainly local, are trying hard to impress the youths of India. Nestle
is the biggest competitor of Cadbury’s and they face cutthroat competition internationally
but in India there is not any such brand that is near to the Cadbury’s when it comes to
market share.
The advertisements are one of the important factors in attracting customers and Cadbury is
doing well in it. Its Silk advertisements were so popular that it created more demand than
the supply for that product. Also, the price has n number of ranges. From Rs. 5 chocolates
to Rs. 500 rich dry fruit collection- mention the price and they have the product of desired
range. Cadbury surely knows how to bond the customers with their gift boxes.
Cadbury has 70% share in the Indian market and the reason for this is its continuous
innovation and techniques to attract the customers and make them brand loyal.

Suggestion
• Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly
people get attracted through television only.
• Cadbury should concentrate on the shape of chocolate.
• People are unsatisfied with the price and quantity of chocolate so companies
should concentrate on this regard also.
• They need to maintain high standards and should be careful that their products
remain good and are not affected by insects.
• They also fixed their products' price so that all kinds of consumers can afford it.
• Customers’ complaints should be welcomed & handled effectively. A quick
response to customers' complaints can have a positive impact on business firms.
