    Cadbury to Be Swallowed Whole

    2. Kraft’s marketing strategy will benefit significantly from buying Cadbury in two different ways. Firstly, when we look at the brand portfolio of Kraft, which is the world’s second biggest food company. It is clear that there are plenty of old-timer cash cows, such as cheese, Nabisco and Suchard, but there are only very few rising stars. According to the Boston Matrix, cash cow means a product with a high share of a slow growth market, which can generate a stable profit. Stars are the products that are in high growth markets with a relatively high share of that market of that market. In this case, The cash cows of Kraft would be Maxwell House Coffee, Toblerone chocolate which can generate a stable profit but no growth. On the other hand, There is a star product in Cadbury, which is the chewing gum business ( Trident and Trebor Mint Gum ) in a high growth market with a relatively high share. And Cadbury also owns a number of long-established brands, its chewing gum business is regarded as having huge growth potential. Therefore, I think Kraft would definitely benefit from buying Cadbury with it’s chewing gum business, because stars tend to generate high amounts of income in a high growth market. Secondly, Kraft generates 80% of all its profit in America, and its stuck at home while the biggest areas for future growth would be china, India and other developing countries. Cadbury generates only 30% of its income in Britain, and also a major brand in Brazil and India. In the first half of 2009, 69% of its sales growth came from ‘emerging markets’, which I think Cadbury is having a better performance than Kraft’s. Because Cadbury has made a huge success in those developing countries, like India…

    PRODUCT REFORMULATION: Wheaties pioneered ready to eat cereal isle followed by the other companies in the US cereal market. However, the challenge for cereal marketers is not only to leverage the traditional bond with breakfast cereal but also to offer innovative products that suit the diverse tastes and eating habits of today’s cereal consumers, if they want to consistently attract consumers and survive competition. The company has a clear brand identity “The Breakfast Bowl” but it failed to retain the interest of its customers by concentrating less on product innovation and its taste and paying more attention to their laurels.

    The Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of cereals. Its products are manufactured in 18 countries and sold in more than 180 countries. For more than 100 years, Kellogg's has been a leader in health and nutrition through providing consumers with a wide variety of food products. These are designed to be part of a balanced diet and meet the different tastes of consumers. Kellogg's focuses on sustainable growth. This involves constantly looking for ways to meet consumer needs by growing the cereal business and expanding its product portfolio. Market research is a specific area of marketing that informs businesses like Kellogg's about the things consumers need, how best to design products to answer those needs and how to advertise those products to consumers. Market research goes beyond finding out what consumers are thinking today. It can identify what consumers might want in the future. In this way market research helps a business to make more informed choices. This reduces the risks for any new product development (NPD). It also increases the likelihood that products will be well received by consumers when they are launched. Kellogg's launched Crunchy Nut Cornflakes in the UK in 1980. Since then, it has become one of the most important brands for Kellogg's with a sales value of £68 million (according to IRI sales data). In 2003 the Crunchy Nut brand created a brand extension. This involved using the Crunchy Nut name to launch a new product called Crunchy Nut Clusters. This variant has two varieties, Milk Chocolate Curls and Honey and Nut. Both of them have enabled the brand to reach a wider group of consumers. This brand extension is now worth £21 million in annual value sales (according to IRI sales data). This case study focuses on the importance of market research during the development and launch of Crunchy Nut Bites, a more recent extension to the Crunchy Nut brand. The objective of this innovation was to provide a new flavour and texture for…
