international chocolate corporation is headquartered
in London's Uxbridge, British. It is present worldwide in
50 countries. Cadbury was founded in 1824 in
Birmingham, England by John Cadbury who first sold
coffee, tea and chocolate to drink.

In later years Cadbury worked together to expand its
business with his brother Benjamin. Instead Richard
and George were passed over to his family. Cadbury
hired over 1000 employees in the Bournville estate in
George to provide staff with a means of improving the

18 Cadbury uses a number of pricing
strategies for its foods. We say it
Pricing comes at a price of great quality.
Strategies     
& Practice Skimming
Pricing: Those rates are very high for
those customers who want a new
product or concept, with skimming
pricing, at all costs. Oreo biscuits,
Cadbury Silk and Cadbury Bournville
products are some of the products
that are kept a little higher than those
of the competition.
        
Economy
Pricing: To meet a wide market,
Cadbury comes with various versions
of its main products. Cadbury milk is
produced in various sizes and is
thus priced to meet different
segments of the consumer. Even
products such as Perk and Five Star
are economically priced.

Bundle Pricing: Cadbury offers many
products at a lower cost than would
buyers have if each product were
bought individually with the package
pricing. Cadbury offers various
products bundled together at a
discounted price for festive season
like during the Festival.

Cost plus pricing: Cadbury tries to
maximize profits for every year. The
approach works well, as all costs must
be properly taken into consideration.
This is a very difficult process in many
companies, which is why the simpler
marking process is used. Cost plus
pricing tends to ignore product and
competition demand.
