Consumer Behavior
Don’t decide product, price, profit or positioning first. Decide CONSUMER BEHAVIOR first. Look around what consumers want? We have to find consumer’s Psychographic behavior, demographic, Ethnographic, and Geographic behavior. We need to understand why consumer doesn’t come?

Cadbury’s in Early 1988 , Its market became saturate. Because their main market about 78% was children and 22% others. And they targeted those kids. When kids reached to mature age , they may become fun for other, if they still eat chocolate in this age . They were struggling in growing and retention.
Then in early 1990s , they took a Bold decision . As in 1988 , the 78% kids were consumers . They skipped those kids from Ads and advertising . Because they want to adjust new Buying consumer behavior. And then they launched New campaign , the new ads focused on youth indulgence. Then beside this they launched many other campaigns one of them was “ Kuch Meetha Hojaye ! “ To enhance consumers . They went from kids to youth and then families. Even they wanted to replace the tradition of Sweets with its Cadbury chocolate.
In this way they grow and make huge progress in the markets , this was all because of knowing the exact profile of the consumer and its behavior.
