OVER ALL TURN OVER

The confectionary industry in India is in its growth stage. This marketing Research data from the industry shows that the industry has been making impressive growth in the Indian economy. The confectionary industry is divided into the flowing specific industrial sectors: Chocolate, Hard-boiled candies, clairs and toffees, Chewing gums, Lollipops, Bubble gums, and Mints and lozenges (Laura, 2008). The total confectionary market is valued at about 41 billion Indian Rupees. It has a total turnover of about 223500 tones of confectionary produced every year. This is a huge overall turnover which is equal to that of established markets. Most the confectionary are consumed in the urban areas. The urban market constitutes about 73 percent of the total market. This is a skewed market share compared to the rural market which accounts for about 27% of the total market. This market data shows that the rural market has not been well tapped into. With more than 50 percent of the Indians living in the rural areas, it means that there is a high potential in the rural market (Cadbury, 2008).On the product share of the market, hard boiled candy accounts for about 18% of the market, clairs and Toffees has about 18% of the market share, while gums and mints and lozenges are at par accounting for 13 percent of the market share each.

WHAT IS BRAND?

A brand is a name sign symbol slogan or design or a combination of these, intended to identify the goods and services of one seller and to distinguish them from those of competitors". Branding helps differentiate products and can be a powerful tool of competitive strategy. While products can come and go over time, brands (if properly managed) can live indefinitely. Brands have many benefits for companies and consumers. For companies; strong brands add value, and consumers develop positive associations with the brand and are less likely to purchase competitors products. This means the brand can act as a barrier to competition. For consumers, brands help them to quickly identify products and make shopping easier. Strong brands carry a guarantee of quality which consumers trust and are often willing to pay more for. Consumers will pay a premium price for a branded product if they believe they it provides a higher value. Building strong brand is an important marketing strategy for companies, enabling premium pricing and making widespread distribution easier to achieve. Brand loyalty helps create and sustain high sales and profit. Brand equity is the value of a brand based on the extent to which its has brand loyalty, brand name awareness, perceived quality and strong brand association.

DEVELOPING A BRAND

A brand identity is the message sent out by the brand through its name, product shape and design, visual symbols (such as logos), advertising etc. This identity needs to be planned by brand management, as this is key to gaining market acceptance and leadership. The Brand Pyramid Brand Meaning Brand core Brand proposition Brand style Brand themes A brand pyramid can help managers plan and analyze a brands identity. The top tier of the pyramid consists of brand core. Brand core values are the genetic code of the brand and remain the same overtime. Closely related to these values is the brand proposition : the promise the brand makes to the consumer. This proposition should be easy to understand and appeal to the target market. The middle tier represents the brands style or elements of the brands identity that represents the self image of the brand of the brand and need to be relatively stable over time. The base of the pyramid is formed by the brand themes which are concerned with the brand currently communicate through its advertising, packaging, fashion, technological developments and changing consumer tastes.

. The brand pyramid helps managers understand the strengths of the brand and ensure consistency of its message. This also helps to identify the opportunities for brand stretching and brand extensions. A brand extension is the use of a well known brand name on a new product category. We will discuss this in relation to the DAIRY MILK brand. Brand starching is the use of an established brand name in unrelated markets or product categories , e.g. using a well known designer name on cosmetics, clothes, sunglasses etc, such as John Rocha Waterford Crystal.

AMITABH BACHCHAN IS CADBURY BRAND AMBASSADOR

Cadbury India Ltd has announced that mega star Amitabh Bachchan will be the company's new brand ambassador. He will endorse and promote Cadbury chocolates for a period of two years. As brand ambassador, he will play a key role in brand and product communication on television, in print and outdoor media. Cadbury has launched a strengthened, new 'purity sealed' packaging for Cadbury Dairy Milk. The new packaging for 13g (Rs 5) is double wrapped for maximum protection. The chocolate is wrapped in aluminum foil and enclosed in a poly flow pack, which is completely sealed on all sides. In the second phase, the larger Cadbury Dairy Milk packs will come in poly-coated aluminium foil, which will be heat-sealed and then wrapped in the branded outer package. Both these steps are a 'first ever' in chocolate packaging in India. "Over the last few months, we have had some cases of infestation due to improper storage conditions. As a company committed to ensuring that our consumers enjoy a pristine bar of chocolate each time, we decided to take steps to reduce dependency on storage conditions to the extent possible," said Bharat Puri, managing director, Cadbury India Ltd. "Cadbury will do everything it can to ensure that every bar of chocolate that a consumer buys comes full of goodness and rich taste."

Commenting on Amitabh Bachchan as brand ambassador for Cadbury chocolates, Puri said, "There is a perfect fit between Amitabh Bachchan and Cadbury chocolates - their timelessness, and the love and trust they both share with the people across India, makes this an ideal partnership. Moreover, Mr Bachchan has a universal appeal that extends to everyone from 6 to 60, just as our chocolates do.

We believe his endorsement of Cadbury Dairy Milk will go a long way towards our objective of increasing chocolate consumption among all ages of consumers." Amitabh Bachchan said, "Most of you may not know this, but I have been a brand ambassador for Cadbury for the last 55 years. Only, now it is official. Bringing smiles, spreading happiness and joy amongst millions of people in India is what Cadbury and I shall be continuously working towards." The new 13g (Rs 5) Cadbury Dairy Milk packaging is currently available only in Maharashtra and the national rollout will take place over the next three weeks. New packaging for the larger bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk, Fruit & Nut, Crackle, Bournville, Caramello, and Double Deck will be completed in six weeks.

There are three main brand name strategies


Family brand names: The parent brand is also known as an umbrella brand. This term is given to product ranges where the family brand name is used for all products. The advantage of this approach is the positive associations with the parent brand will transfer to all sub brands. The risk however is that that if one brand is unsuccessful or falls into disrepute, the reputation of the complete family of brands can be tarnished. Cadbury is a family brand .

Individual brand names (multi brands): in this case each brand is created and named separately and has separate identity. Using a family brand may not be that suitable as brand values may be far apart.

Combination brand names: This approach allows for the optional use of the corporate brand name, while allowing an individual brand to be identified, e.g. Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Cadbury uses a combination of brand strategies. The family brand ,Cadbury is linked with its famous sub brands , i.e. Cadbury Crme Egg, Cadbury Roses and Cadbury Flake to name a few. The family brand identity is style communicated by

packaging with the Cadbury corporate purple color and the distinctive Cadbury script logo. The sub brand is then distinguished by its own individual livery.

Recently marketers have identified particularly strong family or corporate brands as MASTERBRANDS. Cadbury is such a brand. However, a true Masterbrand is more than name of the company it incorporates the companys mission, vision and values, representing them in a way that is easily understood by consumers. IBM is another example of MASTERBRAND.

Cadburys core brand values include "lifes everyday pleasures that make us feel good and never let us down. As a reward or a pick me up, we consumer s trust Cadbury chocolate to make us feel better.

As the years progressed, so did the messaging, which changed with changes in the consumers' way of life. To compliment Cadbury Perk's values, the bubbly and vivacious Preity Zinta became the new face of Perk with the 'hunger strike' commercial in the mid 90's.

ADVERTISING THEIR PRODUCTS IN DIFFERENT WAYS


The sales of product in the market depend upon advertising which is one of the factors that boosts the sales of the product in the market. Advertising can be in the form of print advertising, banner advertising, advertising on Television, radio advertising and of course advertisement on Internet. Over the last several years internet has emerged as a strong and successful platform for advertising a product by using different ways and methods to attract the attention of the customers. There are various ways to capture the thought process, which runs in the minds of the customers, and it is done on a regular basis through the medium of advertising. The purpose of running an advertising campaign is to generate the interest of new customers into the product, and to sustain the interest of regular customers in the product, so that there mind remains focused on the brand name and image of the product. Thus the advertisement of the same product can be seen simultaneously at many different places. Cadbury's advertisement can be seen during the late evening hours when different soap opera are broadcasted. Then on switching on the laptop to check the emails received during the day, the advertisement of Cadbury can be seen again, but of course, this time the form of advertisement i.e. size of advertisement is small, it looks like a teaser and the medium is different, here internet playing an important role. At weekend while going through the shopping mall the same advertisement of Cadbury can be seen highlighted in big posters and banners, giving more prominence to brand name, the product name and in order to attract the customer's attention, theme of the advertisement also been a part of the poster, which also gets highlighted.

Different brand names, different products and different ways of promoting the product. For Example:When Sun feast biscuits were initially launched, there was an aggressive advertisement campaign that was been done for the Sun feast biscuits by putting stalls at different places, where maximum number of customers come regularly, like for instance there was a stall of Sun feast biscuit at an exhibition which was been held on a ground, where there were number of different stalls and at the end when the customers are about to leave the exhibition there are different food stalls and refreshment stalls. Amongst the various different stalls in the exhibition, one stall was that of Sun feast biscuits and there were sizable number of customers, who were keen and eager to know more about Sun feast biscuits and some were even purchasing the biscuits. A few days later the same stall was seen at a shopping mall and now the number of customers were more than before. The reason being advertisements of Sun feast biscuits been shown on TV. Later on Shah Rukh was roped in for the advertisement of Sun feast biscuits and now Sun feast is a known to a large number of customers. Thus initially for any brand name it is important to gauge and know the customer's reaction, their opinion and views, and then slowly introducing the product in the market for the customers on a regular basis. So advertising here also plays a major role, banners and dangles must be attractive at the time of initial launch of the product.

While advertising on the internet there are many customers, who visit the Cybercafe and obviously they also comes across the advertisements. So there are different ways to grab the attention of these customers. Many times prominent websites like MSN, Yahoo and other big names related to websites are roped in and then there is a different format which is used to make sure that the customers make a note of the advertisement and pay attention to the product details. Like for instance there is a Contest which is been conducted wherein the customer will have to fill in the small form which requires his Full Name, mobile number, Address and email ID. Once these details are filled in the customer has to make sure that he has given the correct answer to the question and then submit the form. This is where Cybercafe customers are concerned. Many a times during movies and during cricket matches there are online contests, which are conducted where the customer has to select the right answer by clicking on one of the four different options provided to him i.e. A, B,C and D and then SMS the right answer on the given mobile number. There are mobile compaines who have conducted these kind of contests, recently MicroMax has done this contest during cricket matches. Thus customers are always there, each individual customer has his own purchasing capacity, but when it comes to decision making by the customer with respect to brand names many times advertising plays an important factor in the process of purchasing the product. This happens at the time when the customer makes a final decision.

Many brand names re-launch their products in the market depending upon the previous reaction received and upon the fact that what were the additional features that were required in the product because of which sales dropped. It is important that the customer knows about different brand names irrespective of the fact, which product, he buys at the end of the day. This is where advertising and promoting a product in the market plays a dominant role. Media Advertising- Use of available media channels, meaning cinema, TV, radio, press and the internet. In other words the Cadbury should focus on the media through which it reaches its primary target market-young people of age 1635. During the pre launch campaign Cadbury should not address the controversy; however it should make it clear that the product is not suitable for age below 15 and not advisable for pregnant women. This way the competition will keep their mouth shut and their will be no post launch negativism in Singapore. This will be done a month before the launch. Direct marketing: Direct marketing defines the practice of directly provide the promotional information to potential customers instead of through a media. Direct marketing enable firms to build close relationship with their customers and collect the most relevant customer information. Direct marketing is cheaper and quick way to get in touch with your target customers and offer more choices as firms cutout the inter-mediators. For example, telemarketing is a fast growing form of direct marketing in the recent years. For the purpose of boosting the awareness and stimulating sales, Cadbury Trebor Bassett had launched a series of direct marketing campaign such as the dairy milks door drop campaign through the leaflet firms. Mailings and inserts to house is being frequently used in the Cadburys direct marketing campaign and those campaigns have meet the

objectives of Cadbury such as increasing the sales dramatically during the campaign time and it conducted a lot of valid customer information. For example, Cadburys multi-award winning campaign like the Real Taste of Life to capture the child like spontaneity in every adult had reached extreme success. Moreover, in order to extend the reach of its popular gorilla campaign and capitalize the target customers of 18-34 years old, Cadbury had created the Vodafone mobile marketing to deliver extra content and take the brand awareness and brand identity to a new level amongst the target audience.

Interactive media : The interactive media is more effective than traditional media because it allows customers to participate and give feedback throughout the process of purchase and consumption. Interactive media can take many forms such as the company website, mail box and virtual reality mall kiosks. The frequently asked questions on Cadburys website are being used effectively at all time for customers. For example, the FAQ has provided information as we were listened and fixed as New Zealand customers complain the palm oil in Cadbury dairy milk chocolate. And now the cocoa butter only Cadbury dairy milk chocolates are back in the New Zealand market. In addition, Cadbury likes its customers to engage in the operations so as to offer the desired taste of chocolate for its target customers. Moreover, customers can chat on the Cadburys community website to obtain more product information and provide feedback to the Cadbury management team. For example, customers are encouraged to joint the promotions of Cadburys Online Community competition, Great Picnic Challenge and the Top Gear Live Promotion.

Sales promotion : Sales promotion is a common strategy that used to offer extra value or incentive for the product to the sales force, distributors or ultimate consumers. Sales promotion can be consumer oriented and trade oriented, businesses could take one of them or combine two together if require.

Trade oriented promotion can be done through trade allowances, trade shows, cooperative advertising and so on. Cadbury has launched many sales promotion activities especially the customer oriented promotion that customers can benefit from it such as the Cadbury dairy milk buttons had launched the kids campaign in the city centre in April last year, the target audience of the campaign is parents with kids and the campaign include treasure hunts, face painting, story telling and biscuit and button decorating. Furthermore, Cadbury has been launching the yearly discount selling or price off sales promotion activities during Christmas time in supermarket for a long time and it does increase sales dramatically every year.

Publicity/public relation : Business trend to use the news or business press to create and carry positive images or stories about their business and products for the purpose of stimulate their sales and operations. Therefore, building a good relationship with local press representatives to support good reputation in the public is significantly important for firms because people like to support firms with positive image and good reputation. However, public relation is a risky way of communication due to firms cannot control the infection in negative aspects. Cadbury utilizes variety of tactics for the public relation such as the activities of sponsorship of screenclick.com, the radio promotion, media gift, product placement and point of sales. Cadbury has put much attention to the concern of publicity such as the company always inform to consumers about its changes. For instance, consumers can see the business evolution information on Cadbury website like the NZ Product Changes Q & A The most distinctive form of building public relation for Cadbury is its

Trading Terms that declare the Cadbury conditions of purchase for detailers to offer the best quality of chocolate and service for consumers. The Cadbury Nutritional labeling global standard to explain about consumer health and ingredient are also indicated on the company website which include the detailed product information and consumer health issues.

Sponsorships: Sponsorships is the branding marketing that businesses invest to support a particular event, program or project so as to gain the commercial advantages and showing their advertisement. For example, firms involve coordinated beyond the banner placements in special event in order to broadening its competitive edge by improving the companys awareness, image, prestige and credibility. Sport sponsorships is a popular trend that many firms used to foster their brand loyalty program in the modern time. Cadbury has a long tradition of sports sponsorship, both in its original country and of supporting major international events. Cadbury New Zealand had announced to be the official treat provider of the New Zealand Olympic Teams for Vancouver 2010 and London 2012. In addition, its easy to find out the information about Cadburys international sponsorships promotions such as the Coronation Street and Cadbury's Chocolate and the Cadbury sweeten London 2012 sponsorship. Personal selling : Personal selling is a two ways communication between sellers and buyers and it can be done through face to face, via the internet or telephone. From personal selling, firms can gain the feedback quickly from customers, demonstrate the benefits of particular products and adjust their message immediately to capture customers concern and desire needs. Personal selling had been used long time ago by Cadbury and it is not being used anymore as brand awareness and brand identity of the Cadbury was increased dramatically.

CONCLUSION

The development of the provides an excellent example of innovation and Cause Related Marketing. Cadbury Schweppes is helping to further children's knowledge and understanding of the environment in a practical way whilst developing and extending its traditional Cadbury's Dairy Milk product. By choosing Yowie, children can enjoy Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate and, at the same time, learn about environmental issues in a fun way, collecting and playing with a range of toy animals. The fact that Yowie and their associated products are both entertaining and educational means they are appealing to both children and adults, thereby increasing sales potential. The net result is that Cadbury Schweppes is better able to achieve its business goals, whilst raising awareness of an issue which young people feel to be important. To ensure consumer safety, Cadbury Australia was careful to print the following statement clearly on individual packaging and on the instructions inside the product: 'capsule contents not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts may be swallowed or inhaled.' This consumer safety notice complied with Australian safety regulations.
