Cadbury India's five factories in India churn out close to 8,000 tones of chocolate and the company sells a million bars every day. But Bharat Puri, managing director of Cadbury India will never forget the batch of Dairy Milk chocolates numbered 28F311 manufactured last year at the company's plant in Thane, near Mumbai. That was the worm-infested batch that triggered a crisis for the company that had always prided itself on its squeaky clean image. The timing of the controversy couldn't have been worse. Festival season sales (Cadbury sells almost 1,000 tonnes of chocolates during Diwali) plummeted 30 per cent. Until then, in the country's FMCG sector plagued by slow, low single digit top line and bottom-line growth, Cadbury was a sweet exception. But its net profit in 2003 dipped 37 per cent to Rs 45.6 crore (Rs 456 million) as compared to a 21 per cent increase the previous year. Now, a year later, Cadbury says that consumers have long forgotten the controversy and are back to their merry chocolate-chomping ways. "Sales are back to the pre-controversy levels. Consumer confidence in the product is back and there has been a steady progression in sales," says Sanjay Purohit, head (marketing) Cadbury India. The company expects to close the year with a high double digit sales growth.

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

FORECASTING AND ESTIMATING DEMAND Survey of Buyers Intentions: In the FMCG products buyers taste and preferences changes in day to day life. So it is very important for the Cadbury dairy milk to be upto date with the consumers day to day changing choices. And survey of buyers intention is one of the way of estimating the future demand of the product. In such survey the Cadbury choclates prefer to ask questions like How many times do you prefer to buy a Cadbury dairy milk in a week? what you think about price of Cadbury dairy milk?
Composite of Sales Force Opinions: In this type of forecasting, due to the impractical survey of buyers interviewing, the Cadbury dairy milk may ask its various sales representatives to estimate their future sales. Expert Opinion: The Cadbury dairy milk also have a choice of estimating future demand on the opinion given by the experts including dealers, distributors, suppliers, marketing consultants and trade associations. Past-Sales Analysis: The demand can also be estimated on the basis of past sales by the Cadbury dairy milk. There are four components in the Time Series Analysis: trend, cycle, seasonal and erratic. Market-Test Method: When the entire plan fails, a direct-market test is desirable. It is especially desirable in forecasting new-product sales or established product sales in a new distribution channel or territory.
CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR FACTORS AFFECTING TO CADBURY DAIRY MILK. 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 buyers beware or when the market was mainly the sellers market. Now the whole concept of consumers sovereignty prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. In this sense, consumer is the supreme in the market. As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect the demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences, particularly economics. It assumes a real or imagined "choice" between alternatives and the possibility of rank ordering of these alternatives, based on happiness, satisfaction, gratification, enjoyment, utility they provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source of motivation. In cognitive sciences, individual preferences enable choice 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
Convenience: It is one type of consumer-goods classification. There are three types of convenience. Those are as follows: 1. Staple: These types of goods are purchased on a regular basis or once or twice in a month. A planning may be required before purchasing such type of goods. But for purchasing Cadbury dairy milk no such planning required, so it does not come under staple goods. 2. Impulse: These types of goods are purchased without any planning or search effort. Whenever we feel like buying them we can easily buy them. Similarly for purchasing Cadbury dairy milk no planning required and we can easily find them anywhere whenever we need it. So the Cadbury dairy milk are Impulse goods. 3. Emergency: These types of goods are purchased when there is a need is urgent. But for buying Cadbury dairy milk there is no such type of emergency. So Cadbury dairy milk do not come under Emergency goods.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter describes the methodology of the study. This project is based on information collected from primary sources. After the detailed study, an attempt has been made to present comprehensive analysis of consumption of Cadbury and nestle chocolates consumed by the people. The data had been used to cover various aspects like consumption, consumers preference and customers satisfaction regarding Cadbury and Nestle chocolates. In collecting requisite data and information regarding the topic elected, we went to the residents of peoples and collected the data. 1. Relevance of the Study This research is been conducted to survey the product performance and buying behavior of consumer in selection of chocolates. The relevance of the study is to 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 we have interacted with people of Mumbai City. This research is to know which particular brand of chocolate is most preferred by people of different age groups. 2. Research Problem Every research has their own problem and limitation but good researcher have to overcome that problem by their skill. In this research problem we would like to understand and analyze about the chocolates products available at Mumbai and collect the feedback from group of people and we wanted to know the developments made in direction of chocolates industry. 3. Research Objective 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. 4. Research Design For any researcher the research methodology is the most important criteria to decide before the actual research process starts. There are many methods for conducting the research some of them are as under; a) Descriptive vs. Analytical b) Applied vs. Fundamental c) Quantitative vs. Qualitative d) Conceptual vs. Empirical e) Field setting or laboratory testing research The design of a research is a plan or a model that helps researcher to conduct a formal investigation and survey. It is an application of methods and procedures for acquiring the information needs for getting a desire out come. It decides the sources of data and methods for gathering data. A good design insures that the information obtained is relevant to the research question and that it was collected by objectives. Since, research design is simply the frame work or plan for a study. It is a blue print that of a house devised by an architect. Our approach to research is descriptive and quite specific. Out of these all research methods the research method, which was most suitable to our research, was descriptive research because it provides us all the opportunities to cover the all the aspect that We require to conduct the research and get an appropriate out come. 5. Scope of the Study: As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as breathing. Despite of the fact that learning is all pervasive in our lives, psychologists do not agree on how learning takes place. How individuals learn is a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teach consumers in their roles as their roles as consumers. They want consumers to learn about their products, product attributes, potential consumers benefit, how to use, maintain or even dispose of the product and new
ways of behaving that will satisfy not only the consumers needs, but the marketers objectives. The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perception and consumption of Cadbury and Nestle Chocolates. There are many other brands of chocolates available but our study is limited to two major players of chocolates leaving behind the others. The scope of my study is also restricts itself to Mumbai region only. There are 2 sources of data i.e. A) Primary Data The data, which are collected for the first time, directly from the respondents to the base of knowledge & belief of the research, are called primary data. The normal procedure is to interview some people individually or in a group to get a sense of how people feel about the topic. So far as this research is concerned, primary data is the main source of information provided by the respondents. B) Secondary Data When the data is collected and compiled in the in a published nature it is called Secondary data. So far as this research is concerned internet, many brochures and magazines have been referred too.
FINDINGS CONSUMER RESEARCH: Consumer research deals with consumer and their problems and solution to the problems. In this we 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 consumers 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. From the one and half month experience of our research project with Consumer preference towards Nestle and Cadbury Chocolates, We have come to know lot things and it has enhanced our knowledge to great extent. We found many things which are well executed by distributors. Here are some of the key findings given by us are purely based on our research. It doesnt have any kind of bias from our side. They are given as under: By doing the comparison of Nestle and Cadbury chocolates, we have found that the preference of the chocolates more preferred by the consumer is Cadbury.
From the analysis we have found that Nestls some brand has covered 50% of the market in one product (Munch) of the chocolates which is a very good sign for the company. Through the research we found that consumer is very conscious about the quality of the product in that matter they are not ready to compromise. And we found both company product are very qualitative. In some cases we found that if a product is not available in the market than some consumer would to switchover to another product or brand. So from these survey we have found that the consumption of the chocolates are more in children and teenage group though having any occasion or not having any occasion. The most selling product of both the companies is in small size of chocolates and there market share is 73% because its not much costlier and is also easily available & affordable.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Chocolates products at Mumbai city are available in comparison to previous years, but still there is requirement of development in Chocolate products. Due to increasing overall cost in Chocolate Products everywhere, cost format should be made as such that it is affordable to each and everyone in the society. In this we also found that if the demanded brand is not available, so at that time the customers switch over the brand of the chocolate so, here the company should build up the healthy distribution channel by which company can attract the customers and company loose the fear from the market. 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.
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 hard form. Some people often like to have a chocolate with good flavor, quality 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.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topic was kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at play during the formulation of this project. The main limitations are as follows: Due to limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the sample of consumers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study. The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self- administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less. People were hesitant to disclose the true facts. The chance of biased response cant be eliminated though all necessary steps were taken to avoid the same.
