Preface
Dairy Milk is an iconic brand and one of the most loved chocolates. Dairy Milk changed the
way chocolates were perceived in India - from 'videshi' to 'desi'. Dairy Milk became
synonymous with chocolates in India. We, as a group, wanted to study and design an
Integrated Marketing Plan for this cult brand. It was not an easy task given the fact that there
is not much that Dairy Milk hasn't tried and tested in its marketing and advertising strategy.
We decided to delve into the situation and find out the answers to following questions to get
us started: Who should be DM's next target? Why should DM try untested waters? What
could the possible challenges and opportunities? Reasoning out who the TG would be got us
charged up and we wanted this cult brand to have a winning strategy once more. We found
out TG at the BOP - a place where not many like to venture but this untapped market has a
huge potential.
More than anything how DM would bring smiles to more faces and how it would sweeten
more lives drove us to design the IMC plan for DM, so that people would enjoy every bite of
classic DM and say 'Ab Maza aa gaya' !

Executive Summary
A strong IMC plan is the need for any product, brand, service, to reach out and make people
learn about the propose attributes, to remind people of the brand, to drive the sales. It makes
sense to carefully design an IMC plan that matches with the attributes of the
product/brand/service, and matches with expectations of the TG. We took up a daunting task
to design an IMC plan for Dairy Milk. Firstly, we started off with the study of Indian
chocolate market and the main players. Secondly, we found about consumers' perception
related to DM vis--vis its others. Thirdly, we defined the new TG for DM and drew up a
detailed profiling of the TG; this helped us design a well targeted IMC plan. Fourthly, we got
down and dirty and did the rigorous work to define the IMC objectives. These objectives
were the base on which we designed the creative strategy. The next part was a crucial one -
finalizing and designing the execution plan of our IMC plan. This consisted of detailing of
the execution strategy, designing ATL and BTL strategy. The finale consisted of scheduling
and budgeting of the planned IMC, this was not only vital but difficult given the new
completely TG.
We hope and believe that Dairy Milk's new 'Ab maza aa gaya' gives people in the smallest
and farthest of villages the 'Joy of Sharing', adding sweetness to many more lives as DM has
been doing for decades.

Cadbury:

chocolate as well as the way its advertising celebrated the 'consumption ritual'.

The campaigns of Munch focus on its crunchy taste. Priced at Rs. 5 it targets the
middle class in metros and smaller towns.

a luscious nougat and caramel core covered with a delicious chocolayer.

wafers during snack time. It is mostly consumed by teenagers and the brand is also

Retail Perception of Cadbury Dairy Milk
The interview from retail outlet (EasyDay) personnel in Ghaziabd RDC was accurate in
getting a perfect understanding of the industry. Based on the interview it was inferred that the
consumers usually buy chocolates when they see them or in exchange of the unavailable
change. This is one of the reason the retailer places the chocolates near the counter to catch
the attention of the customers who miss buying them from the regular shelves in the store.
Cadbury Dairy Milk was mostly bought by the female adults or students and it is the fastest
moving chocolate in the store. Cadbury purchases shelf spaces at the eye level in retail
spaces to realize higher sales. The brand has successfully replaced sweets during festivals
and auspicious occasions. Cadbury also has a brand called Celebrations especially for
festivals.
Distribution:
Cadbury developed an extensive distribution network over the years. The company has
manufacturing facilities at Thane and Induri in Maharashtra, Malanpur in Madhya Pradesh,
Bangalore in Karnataka and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh and 4 sales offices at Mumbai,
Kolkata, New Delhi, and Chennai. Cadbury distribution channels include the manufacturing

Target Market Specification
Rural India contributes 17% of the chocolate market in India. Villages with 5000-10000
population contribute to 5% of this market share. The penetration of Cadbury Dairy Milk is
low in the rural market. Hence this project aims expanding Dairy Milk to rural markets.
This segment is growing at a rate of 19% CAGR. While the general perception is that the
chocolates priced at Rs 2 would be the highest selling product but in reality the chocolates
priced at Rs 5 and Rs 10 are the highest selling units.

Demographics:
Age group: 5-35
Gender: male, female
Income: a survey by NCAER indicates that the rise in rural incomes is keeping pace with the
rise in urban incomes. Since it is an affordable product (SKUS Rs5 and Rs10) the income is
not major hurdle for the purchase of Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Occupation: mainly agriculture. Nearly 30% of rural population is employed in non-
agricultural sector and have steady income.
Family life-cycle: school going children, teenagers, young married couple, middle age men
and women.
Socio economic: R1, R2 and R3 sections of the rural market.

Psychographics:
Behavioural:
Occasions: moments of joy
User status: non-users, first time users, potential users and regular users.
Usage rate: light, medium and heavy users.
Loyalty status: impulse product therefore loyalty cannot be expected.
Attitude: enthusiastic and positive






16
Buying situation: low involvement product
Since chocolate is an impulse buying product so it doesnt go through all 5 stages of the
buying decision process. Consumers buy chocolates for gifting, sharing a joyous moment, to
eat as a snack etc.

Purchase occasion:
Chocolates dont need an occasion to be bought and consumed. However Cadbury Dairy
Milk had been communicated as a product that can be shared on all festivals, marriages,
birthdays etc,. Thus the new marketing communication for Cadburys Dairy Milk would be
bought and consumed on a daily basis particularly during joyous moments.

Benefits sought:
Chocolate consumption would release a chemical called serotonin in the brain that would
lead to a feeling of pleasure in the mind of the consumer. The benefit sought would be
mainly emotional feelings that would arise out of chocolate consumption.
Brand Positioning
The right side of the brain with more emotional considerations is the one that perceives
Cadburys Dairy milk. We want to position the Dairy Milk chocolate as high quality,
moderately priced product i.e. not extreme up and right. Dairy milk instigates a child like
behavior and happiness among all age groups due to its exceptional taste. It is one the best
gifts that can be given to show your love and care for someone in joyous moments as it looks
royal, affordable and convenient to purchase.
IMC objectives
