INTRODUCTION
SALES PROMOTION
Sales are the life-blood of business. The ultimate aim of introduction is sales. Sales revenue is the
important source of income also. Industrial revolution and technical advancement have brought
about a revolution not only in the production field but have also necessitated efforts for sales
promotion. Sales is not a self-generating activity. Acute competition has also increased the
importance of sales promotion effort on the part of the manufactures. It is an integral part of the
promotion mix of a company.

1. Meaning:
In general all the effort made by a firm to increase its sales are included in sales promotion. In the
words of George W. Hopkins. "Sales promotion is an organized effort applied to the selling job to
secure the greatest effectiveness for advertising and for sealer's help". According to the American
Marketing Association, sales promotion includes;- "Those activities other than personal selling,
advertising and publicity than stimulate consumer purchasing and dealer effectiveness such as
displays, shown and exhibitions, demonstrations and various non-recurring selling effort is not in
the ordinary routine".
Thus, sales promotion is referred to activities other than personal salesmanship, advertising and
publicity which stimulate consumer purchasing and dealer effectiveness. It is a plus ingredient in
the marketing mix whereas advertising and personal salesmanship is essential and basic
ingredients in the marketing mix.
Earlier in India, the companies did not use to focus much of their interest on the promotional
activities of their product earlier people or say the consumer or $m consumer purchased the product
Just to fulfill their needs.
In recant years the scenario has changed. Today customer purchases the goods or product not only
to fulfill their need but to enjoy the advantages of the product Hence, now days are heeding their
attention towards providing the customer with what they demand. But then problem arises, now to
make customer aware of such provisions?
Hence a marketing tool called "Sales promotion" is used widely today to attract the customers by
die producer. Sales promotion helps to inform the customer about the product and their services.
Thus sales promotion helps them to attract the consumer to purchase that particular product

Market segment
The company is currently serving a wide range of market ranging from the adult to the children
population. The company has been taking a wide market population appeal in its marketing
strategy. However this marketing strategy is targeting the female adult population. Apparently this
is the leading market segment in consumption of chocolate products but the adult population has
been neglected especially in the rural areas. More than 50 percent of the Indian population is
female population and therefore the company is targeting large market.

Marketing Strategy: Target Market(s) & Positioning


At present Cadbury doesn't have varied segmentation and the same marketing mix is offered to
many categories of customers. However, there are several target groups, which are recommended
for getting more profit.

1) Demographically it can be youth target group (people 16-25 years old) and children target group
(approximately 6-15 years). As for youth the reoffered successfully, but as for children it will be
better to propose products fortified with vitamins and microelements.

2) In segmentation base by psychographic criteria proposing new products with minimal content
of fat, light products and products without preserving agents and genetically modified products
will gain more customers who care about their health.

13

3) Geographically, offering or redistributing already existing products on Asian market segment


may be quiet profitable too.

4) Giving special discounts and propositions to loyal customers will help Cadbury to maintain
present and attract new ones.

Marketing objectives
 To introduce the product successfully in the Indian market within a period of 6 Months.
 To ensure that there is a high level of awareness of the presence of product in the India
market by using effective marketing strategies
 To put in place a wide range of marketing strategies available in the Indian market
including e-commerce strategies to ensure that there is overall growth of the product in the
market.
 To acquire about 30 percent of the female adult market segment within period of 3 years
from the introduction of the brand in the market.

Promotion and advertising objectives

The product will be launched in the market during a Beauty competitionwhich will be organized
by the company. The company will carry out a number ofadvertisements in the mass medical and
online. There will also be outdooradvertisement activities in the billboards, and popular places.
The company will alsocarry out off street promotion and sampling activities which will give
consumer thetrue taste of the product. The company will also establish a site for the product
topromote sales and to have timely response from consumers.

Branding Objectives

The success of the product in the market will depend on the branding image.In this case the
company will create a personalized brand images. To ensure thegrowth and continues of product
in the market the company will ensure thatthere is no brand which goes to slow growth or exist
stage in the product life cycles.The brand will be distinct from other through package.

Creating brand image


To create a brand image, brand personality approach will be used. In this case mostly the launch
of the product will be tied to female’s characteristic which they can easilyidentify with. This will

14
A study on Marketing Promotion Strategies Adopted by Cadbury dairy milk with reference to
Gondia Regions

identify the characteristics of the brand in relation to thetarget market. This will use key elements
that enhance female appeal like styled,confident, sophisticated, and self assured.

Website content

The website will be the main communication site between the company andits customers.
Therefore it is expected to be user friendly and to contain as muchinformation as needed by the
users. Specifically the website will contain informationlike, the product and its description, the
price of the product, how to order for theproducts, where to pick the product in the (the nearest
company store), where to postcomments about the product online, investors information, careers,
and many moreinformation that will be needed by the users. The website will be easy to use
byarranging the contents in a simple manner. Most of all it will provide an interactivespace where
the users can have online chat with the company.

Competitor Reaction
Cadbury should develop new products and promote them domestically as well as internationally.
Such product/market growth approach will ensure that the company has diversified range of
products which are available and well-recognizable in many countries of the world. Such strategic
choice will provide the company with enormous comparative advantages over its competitors and
will help it to better cope with the hurdles of the global economic crisis.

Most importantly, such strategic step will erase the common stereotype claiming that consumers
mostly associate Cadbury with chocolate. Evidently, ‘Chocolate is Cadbury' marketing approach
much facilitated the company's success over the last decade. However, considering the
challenges of the global competitive markets, this strategy will not be suitable any longer. Hence
Cadbury should transform it into more powerful and innovative global image.

The variety of new high-quality and reasonably-priced products will add value to the business
activity of Cadbury and will win new overseas markets for the company. This task would require
the company to carefully design and develop innovative brands of its products which are not yet
present on any of the foreign markets, and which will be potentially demanded by the consumers
(i.e. target markets).

Product Overview and Strategies to Consider


The main goal of every proper marketing strategy consists in studying what, where, when and how
much does consumers buy. Basing on the fact that Cadbury products are mainly chocolate and
cocoa products is will be netter to base marketing strategy on the facts of their nutritional value

15
A study on Marketing Promotion Strategies Adopted by Cadbury dairy milk with reference to
Gondia Regions

which is kindly for health, because according to sociological researches the majority of people
prefer to buy food products with nutritional labeling exactly for this reason.

Pricing Strategy
That factor that today customers prefer to buy healthy food make a low - pricing strategy based on
advertising that chocolate is useful for health and company cares about their customers' heath, and
because of this they can make prices on some types of chocolate lower than its business rivals
price and in this case he will get more customers. This strategy is also based on philological aspect
of people's mind.

SUGGESIONS

 Having summarized the various findings of this research,

 The following managerial implications have been proposed which if taken seriously can
prove to be of value to both in theory and practice.

 Businesses stand to gain if they from the suggestions made known below.

 Firstly in order to be successful, businesses should be able to differentiate between different


kinds of consumers namely the ‘celebrity enthusiasts’ and the ‘product enthusiasts’ and
promote their product accordingly.

 So they need to play it safe and cater to the demand of both of them. Also marketers should
come up with contracts which bind the celebrities to use or wear their endorsed product at
least in public in order to counter the problem of lack credibility of the celebrities in the
eyes of the consumers.

CONCLUSION
 In the case of brand recall, respondents agree that the existence of celebrities does help in
recalling the product faster and in some cases also leads to consumers going ahead and
purchasing the goods.

 But in most of the incidences it does not result in inducing a purchase.

 In terms of the popularity of the so called ‘vampire effect’ of the celebrity has revealed
really interesting findings.

 Some respondents were in the view that the celebrities do take away the limelight from the
product as it is believed that the consumers are so mesmerized by the presence of the
celebrity that they tend to overlook the product.

 In contrast to this some respondents voiced that it is because of the presence of these
celebrities that the product is noticed and remembered by the consumers.
