 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

After going thick on the things, now time is to make a complete picture. While making a
product a SKU (stock keeping unit) of the shop retailers think about the GMROI (gross margin
return on investment) and they promote the brand which provides them highest. They expect
return in the form of profit margin, company schemes, window display and reference of the
shop. Among these, company schemes make the difference and are the highest sources of
motivation after profit margin. Retailing demands a constant push from the company.
Marketer needs to use advertising and brand building strategies to address the discerning
buyers and retail push to in different buyers. The manufacturer should understand consumer
behaviour because retailers can’t help quality and price. It is only up to manufacturers to
deliver what consumer wants. I need to stress on it because 58% retailers said that it is demand
why they sell Britannia. 61% agree that at retail shop it is brand popularity, which determine
the purchase of biscuit.
There is a greater need to understand the retailer behaviour. Considering them as a team,
working for the company may help them to be attached to the company. There should be a
feeling of belonging to the company in inner of the retailers.
This can be done by setting values club for retailers so that they may exchange views with the
company and help in understanding consumer behaviour.

 COMPANY INFORMATION

Britannia Industries Ltd. was started way back in 1892 with an investment of Rs. 295. Initially,
biscuits were manufactured in a small house in central Kolkata. Later, the business was
acquired by the Gupta brothers and operated under the name of V.S. Brothers. In 1918, C H
Holmes, an English businessman in Kolkata was taken as a partner and The Britannia Biscuit
Company Limited (BBCo) was launched. The Mumbai factory was setup in 1924 and Peak
Freans, UK acquired a controlling interest in BBCo. Biscuits were in big demand during
World War II, which gave a fillip to the company’s sales. The company name was changed to
the current Britannia Industries Limited in 1979. In 1982 Nabisco Brands Inc., USA became
a major foreign shareholder.
Kerala businessman K. Rajan Pillai secured control of the group in the late 1980s, becoming
known in India as the 'Biscuit King'. In 1993, the Wadia Group acquired a stake in ABIL, UK
and became an equal partner with Groupe Danone in Britannia Industries Limited.
In 1997, the company unveiled its new corporate identity - "Eat Healthy, Think
Better" - and made its first foray into the dairy products market. In 1999, the "Britannia Khao,
World Cup Jao" promotion further One of India’s best known brands and also one of the most
admired Food Brands in the country.
Britannia Industries (BIL), is one of the leading producer of biscuits and other bakery
products. BIL, has a major advantage of the interest taken by the French collaborator Groupe
Danone which is one of the leading players in bakery products business and is holding 22%
stake. Other partner is Nulsi Wadia group which is one of the leading industrial houses in the
country.
Britannia Industries Limited is an Indian company based in Kolkata that is famous for its
Britannia and Tiger brands of biscuit, which are highly recognized throughout the country.
The company has an extensive portfolio of top selling food brands. Britannia produces and
distributes premium brands such as 50:50, Good Day, Little Hearts, Milk Bikis, MarieGold,
Maska Chaska, NutriChoice, Pure Magic, Treat, and Tiger. A strong brand portfolio facilitates
customer recall and enhances Britannia’s market penetration capabilities.

7
It mainly caters to the premium segment. With the launch of Tiger brand, it has taken a plunge
in the low-end category, taking competition head on with Parle which is the leader in this
segment. The company has also diversified within dairy and bakery products to enter the
butter, cheese and ghee markets. The company added two new products -- Sweet Lassi and
Milkman Cold Coffee -- to its existing dairy-based drinks portfolio which includes the
`ZipSip' brand of flavored milk.
They are the only Indian biscuit company with a presence across all segments, from
Glucose, Salted, Arrowroot and Premium Cream Biscuits. Biscuits contribute 84% of
Britannia's total turnover. Other products include bread (6 per cent) and cakes (2 per cent).
Britannia diversified into dairy products in 1997 with processed cheese and dairy whitener.
The portfolio was expanded with the launch of butter, pure, flavoured milk in tetrapacks and
UHT milk. Dairy products account for 8 per cent of the company’s total turnover. Over the
years, Britannia has trimmed down its wide product portfolio and focussed on value-added
instead of low-margin products. The company divested a range of unrelated business interests
in soyabean extraction, edible oils, export of cashewnuts and shrimp, granites and software.

25.

 Objectives of the Study And Research Methodology

OBJECTIVES

• To analyse the Marketing Strategies adopted by BRITTANIA

• To understand the Brand performance of all BRITTANIA products.
• To study the Sources of Brand equity of BRITTANIA like Brand awareness and Brand
Image.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the project is to analyse the marketing strategies of Britannia and to understand
the market share and growth of coca cola company in India and also in other countries. We
can understand the competitors as well as about the product offered by Britannia. The
strengths and weaknesses of Britannia company is displayed in this project.
Britannia’s mission and values which it wants to achieve in the coming years can be easily
analysed through this project. This Project also focuses on the objectives such as marketing
mix and positioning of the products of the company.

14
 METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project. Without a proper well
organized research plan, it is impossible to complete the project and reach to any conclusion.
The project was based on the survey plan. The main objective of survey was to collect
appropriate data, which work as a base for drawing conclusion and getting result.
Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem.
Research methodology not only talks of the methods but also logic behind the methods used
in the context of a research study and it explains why a particular method has been used in the
preference of the other methods
Research design:
Research design is important primarily because of the increased complexity in the market as
well as marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the evolution
of successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an important tool to study buyer’s
behaviour, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A research design
specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study. According to
Kerlinger, “Research Design is a plan, conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation
conceived as to obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.

15
 DATA COLLECTION METHOD:
Data can be obtained from primary or secondary sources. Primary data refer to
information obtained by the researcher on the variables of interest for specific purpose of the
study. Secondary data refer to information gathered from sources already existing, while
discussing literature survey. Some of the examples of secondary data are company records or
archives, government publications, industry analysis offered by the media, websites, the
Internet, and so on. In some cases, the environment or particular settings and events may
themselves be sources of data, as for example, studying the layout of a plant. Considering the
research problem and research methods defined, only secondary data was collected in this
research.
Secondary Data – Secondary data are indispensable for most organizational research.
Secondary data refer to information gathered by someone other than the researcher conducting
the current study. Such data can be internal or external to the organization and accessed
through the internet or perusal of recorded or published information. Secondary data can be
used, among other things, for forecasting sales by constructing models based on past sales
figures, and through extrapolation. There are several sources of secondary data, including
books and periodicals, Govt. publications of economic indicators, census data, statistical
abstracts, and data bases the media, annual reports of companies, etc. Case studies and other
archival records sources of secondary data provide a lot of information for research and
problem solving. Such data are, as we have seen, mostly qualitative in nature. Also included
in secondary sources are schedules maintained for or by key personnel in organizations, the
desk calendar or executive, and speeches delivered by them. Much of such internal data,
though, could be proprietary and not accessible to all.

The advantage of seeking secondary data sources is savings in time and costs of acquiring
information. However secondary data as the sole source of information as the drawback of
becoming obsolete, and not meeting the specific needs of a particular situation or setting.
Hence, it is important to refer to sources that offer current and up to date information.

16
 LIMITATION

• The secondary data collected might consist of manipulations, which might have given
bias in the result.
• he lack of experience in preparing the project report.
• Lack of time for completion of the project.

 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

MARKET & MARKETING STRATEGY

Marketing
Marketing is a societal process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and
want through creating, offering and freely exchanging products and services of value with
others or otherwise it is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing,
promotion and distribution of ideas, goods, services to create exchanges that satisfy individual
and organizational goals.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy is a set of objectives, policies and rules that leads the company's marketing
efforts. It is the marketing approach to accomplish the bread objective of the marketing
approach to accomplish the bread objective of the marketing plan. The various process of
marketing strategy is given below.
1. Selecting largest markets segmentation
2. Positioning
3. product
4. Price
5. Place
6. Promotion
7. Research and development
8. Marketing research

18
1. Market segmentation and selecting target market

It is an effort to increase a company's precision marketing. The starting point of any

segmentation discussion is mass marketing. In mass marketing, the seller engaged in the mass
production, mass distribution and mass promotion of one product for all buyers. Market
segment consists of a large identifiable group within a market with similar wants, purchasing
power geographical location, buying attitudes or buying habits. It is an approach midway
between mass marketing and individual marketing. Through this the choice of distribution
channels and communication channels become much easier. The researchers try to form
segments by looking at consumer characteristics; geographic, demographic, and
psychographic. After segmenting the market then target market selected.
2. Positioning: - The positioning is a creative exercise down with an existing product. The
well known products generally hold a distinctive position in consumer's minds. The
positioning requires that every tangible aspect of product, price, place and promotion must
support the chosen positioning strategy. Company should develop a unique selling proposition
(USP) for each brand and stick to it, PPL consistently promotes it’s DAP fertilizer by Higher
yield at lower cost. As companies increase the number of claims for their brand, they risk
disbelief and a loss of clear positioning. In general a company must avoid four major
positioning errors. Those are under positioning over positioning, confused positioning and
doubtful positioning.
3. Product: - A product is any offering that can satisfy a need or want. The major types of
basic offerings are goods, services, experiences, events, places, properties, organizations,
information and ideas. The company gives more importance in quality, packaging, services
etc. to satisfy the customers. The product has its life cycle. The product strategies are modified
in different stages of product life cycle.
4. Price: - It is the most important aspect in company's point of view. Price of the product
will be decided by the company according to the competitor's price.

19
5. Place: - This plays a major role in the entire marketing system. The company emphasizes
on its distribution network. Proper distribution network gives proper availability of the
product.
Getting the right product to the right place at the right time involves the distribution system.
Distribution is the process of moving goods and services to the places where they are wanted.
Channel Levels: The channel of distribution used by Britannia is:
Intensive Distribution: As biscuits need to reach the consumer at their nearest locations this
type of distribution channel is used. This type of distribution helps when for products that are
categorized by low involvement of the customer and where customer looks for location
convenience.

6. Promotion: - Promotion is the one of the major aspects in marketing strategies. By

adopting various promotional activities the company create strong brand image. It also helps
in increasing the brand awareness. It includes advertising, sales promotions and public
relations etc.

20
Advertising:
Britannia works in close partnership to promote its biscuits with retailers. Promotion costs are
shared with retailers. The more retailers sell - the more Britannia is able to help them.
Britannia launches products that offer the company good returns, supporting these through
brand building and leveraging on its nationwide supply chain. Brand building is an integral
part of Britannia’s marketing philosophy with continued promotions for its various brands
creating loyal customers in the process.
Good Day, "Richness is only one functional facet of Good Day. But there is also a large
emotional facet — that of spreading happiness. This became the plank on which Good Day
began to be advertised. Also with traditional notions of health changing, rich foods are not
necessarily looked at as being unhealthy. "Good Day is full of nuts and is rich but it is also
good for health. So, they created the Swasth kao, tan man jagao (Eat healthy, energize body
and mind) campaign."

Sales promotion:
“Eat Britannia, Go for World Cup" was the theme adopted in 1999 .People bought the biscuit
packs and searched for the lucky scratch for flying to England to see world Cup Cricket match.
The sales bounced 37% high on account of this strategy. The scheme came alive again during
the world Cup Match in 2002-2003 in South Africa.
“Lagaan - the super hit movie " brought fame to Britannia Biscuits also as 40000 buyers of
Britannia Biscuit packs were invited to see and a small lucky group to play the game with the
movie Stars of Lagan. What a novel way to promote a product - a perception in correct
proportion indeed!!
Now, recently promotional strategies are "Jodi Banao" Offer & winning ideas of the
“Monmatano Britannia pran bhorano sharodiya” contest like create a special flower
arrangement for dashmi. Get all the women in your street together and make a huge, elaborate
face of durga with flowers.
Publicity: Britannia brand is advertised through hoardings on cricket grounds, on highways,
through image building exercises like donations etc.

21
7. Research and Development: - after testing, the new product manager must develop a
preliminary marketing strategy plan for introducing the new product in to the market. The
plan consists of three parts. The first part describes the target market's size, structure and
behaviour. The second part outlines the planned price, distribution strategy and marketing
budget for the first year. The third part of the development describes the long run sales and
profit goals and marketing mix strategy over time.

BOURBON

Thick, rich and delicious chocolate packed between two crunchy chocolate biscuits, topped
with sugar crystals - presenting, the original Bourbon, from the house of Britannia.

India's first and favourite Bourbon's sweet adventure began in 1955. Since then, Bourbon
lovers across the country have been caught opening this chocolate couplet, licking the cream,
and nibbling at the melt-in-your-mouth biscuit, bit by bit. Some have been witnessed
chomping it whole, at one go. Some have been noted to alternate it with sips of coffee; others
team it with lots of gossip and gupshup, while a few have been observed enjoying it with a
book.
And some have been seen reluctantly sharing their Bourbon.

Whatever the occasion, wherever the hangout, Bourbon makes for great company. You can
grab your very own Nano Pack or a Pocket Pack. The Hangout Pack is just right for chilling
with friends. Take along a Party Pack for... yes, a party! And the Gift
Pack will surely win you a few brownie points!

TIME PASS

Before Time pass, Britannia's offering in the salted cracker category was Snacks. Launched
in 1999, Snacks was promoted as a tastier base for toppings through edgy advertising.

Then in late 2000, supported by aggressive advertising that featured the brand as a perfect
partner for time pass moments, Britannia Time pass was launched.

The brand quickly became a leader in Britannia's portfolio and, consequently, Snacks was
revamped as a lighter product and renamed Britannia Time pass Classic Salted. To further the
franchise of the Time pass brand, a variant 'Nimkee' was introduced in the Eastern market in
April 2003, and then taken nationwide after a favorable response. Judging by its history, the
resounding success of Britannia Time pass will continue to grow.

LITTLE HEARTS

Little Hearts was launched in 1993 and targeted the growing youth segment. A completely unique
product, it was the first time biscuits were retailed in pouch packs like potato wafers. The launch
message introduced a special taste experience that made the unlikeliest characters - like Dracula and
Frankenstein - melt. In 1997, the 'Direct Dil Se' campaign encouraged youngsters to openly express
their feelings. And in 2003, two variants called Little Hearts Chocolate and Little Hearts Sesame were
rolled out with a campaign "Dil sabka actually sweet hai". With Little Hearts, Britannia has tasted the
sweet taste of success.

managed to create such a strong consumer pull that soon there was a rush of pretender products in
the market, clearly indicative of the success of the concept. Today, Nice Time has a fan base spread
across India, and, particularly, East India, where its consumers have grown up with the brand.
Especially popular amongst children, Britannia Nice Time has managed to create a loyal franchise for
itself and is a strong brand loved by people of all ages.

DAIRY FRESH

Till 1958, there were no breads in the organized sector and bread consumption was a habit typified
by the British. Then, a mechanized bread unit was set up in Delhi with the name "Delbis" which
produced sliced bread and packed it under the Britannia name. Thus, Britannia was not only the
pioneer, but also inculcated in the people of Delhi the habit of eating white sliced bread.

The Mumbai unit came up in 1963, and there again Britannia was the first branded bread in the city.
From a company offering 2 packs - the 400gm and the 800gm plain white sliced bread - Britannia has
evolved into a company offering 22 packs, catering to a variety of taste and price segments in the
bread consuming market. The last couple of years also saw the introduction of Whole Wheat Bread
as a part of "Eat Healthy, Think Better" credo.

Cakes

Britannia entered the cake market in the year 1963 and is the top player in the market.

47
Britannia Cakes range is divinely scrumptious and has both Bar Cakes and Cup Cakes which were
launched in 2005. Bar Cakes are available in variants that include Fruit, Butter Sponge, Chocolate,
Pineapple, Milk, Vanilla Chocolate and Orange. Apart from being delicious, these snacks are packed

 COMPETITION INFORMATION

Generally, all organizations have competitors in the market. A particular organization always
comprises with other same business and according to market share we clarify the brand of
product is giving more challenge to my product. I found many products which can be
compared with Britannia Biscuit. As a conclusion I found that particularly in my provided
area Britannia is really doing well and its performance is on surprising level. Lost market
share to ITC Foods and has struggled to keep pace with Parle in glucose biscuits. Pepsi, Kraft,
DANONE could be formidable competitors. Britannia seeks to build market share through
expanded product portfolio, acquisitions, JVs and thrust on rural consumer. In my provided
area the share of the market is as follows.
BRITANNIA 34.8%

PARLE-G 31.9%

ITC 8.6%

SURYA FOODS 8%

ANMOL BAKERS 4.2%

OTHERS 15.6%

When we compared with other businesses then we follow the quality, price, distribution
system, promotional strategy etc. of the competitors Britannia in this area is doing well. So
this is the comparison with other biscuits brands. According to our findings we found that
BRITANNIA is the market leader.

PARLE

Parle Products has been India's largest manufacturer of biscuits and confectionery for almost
80 years. Makers of the world's largest selling biscuit, Parle-G, and a host of other very
popular brands, the Parle name symbolizes quality, nutrition and great taste. With a reach

51
spanning even to the remotest villages of India, the company has definitely come a very long
way since its inception.
Many of the Parle products - biscuits or confectioneries, are market leaders in their category
and have won acclaim at the Monde Selection, since 1971. With a 32% share of the total
biscuit market and a 15% share of the total confectionary market in India, Parle has grown to
become a multi-million dollar company. While to the consumers it's a beacon of faith and
trust, competitors look upon Parle as an example of marketing brilliance.

In July 2003, ITC forayed into the Biscuits market with the Sunfeast range of Glucose, Marie
and Cream Biscuits. Sunfeast’s brand essence, "Spread the Smile" connotes happiness,
contentment, satisfaction and pleasure. The mascot Sunny reinforces the emotional aspects of
the brand. In a span of 6 years Sunfeast has launched many new varieties and has its presence
in almost all types of biscuit categories.
