NOTE: Chocolates are everyone’s
favourite, and this one is dedicated to all the chocolate lovers!
Last Sunday,
Vipul went to a grocery shop to buy some stuff and asked the shopkeeper to take
out the things he wanted. He was about to pay the bill and suddenly noticed the
purple refrigerator containing chocolates. Of course, it’s Vipul, so he was
tempted to buy one and finally bought one! J
Next dayà Monday morningà
Vipul
discussed the incident with us and said, “This time let’s write something on
chocolates only!” We all were really surprised to see his participation for the
blog and we all agreed. And Bansal questioned Vipul, “Name any 5 Chocolates?”
(and the quiz round 1 started). A little hesitant Vipul answered, “Dairy milk,
5star, kitkat, mmm…, Bournville, mmm… (I wonder is mmm.. is also some
chocolate!) And I jumped in as his savior and said, “Silk, Bar-One, Milky Bar…
(Ahh! Milky Bar is my favourite J)
As our
discussion was going, Bansal again asked, “why does that purple wrapper gives
the chocolaty feeling?” (quiz round 2) As expected, Vipul was almost blank and
replied, “Iska bhi answer dedo!!” (It was THE MOST hilarious reaction anyone
can ever give J) And some facts came out from Bansal’s encyclopediaà “Dairy Milk has got the highest
brand recall. This is just because of the frequency of their TV commercials,
print ads, banners, displays at shops is so dominant over other brands. These
all activities collectively gives Dairy Milk the Top position in the mind
ladder of people.
The incident
which Vipul narrated in the starting defines the consumer buying process for
chocolates. I asked Bansal what all he’ll say about the marketing strategy of
Cadbury (Ahan! Now even we counter back him J). He replied, “Brand Recall comes
with the creation of great ad campaigns and Cadbury really outstands in this
area. Be it their “Pappu paas ho gaya” campaign or “Kuch meetha ho jaye”
campaign, all emerge as a great hit among the general public. Dairy Milk has always
associated itself with small but everyday happy moments that occur in
everyone’s life.” (Pheew! J)
Absolutely!
Cadbury has created for themselves a niche in the market and has become a brand
name household. To be in the top most segment of the market, visibility is
extremely important and that makes you sellable!
