Pain Points
Cadbury India is one of India’s biggest and most loved brands. It has created some of the most remembered campaigns for Indian audiences. It is also one of those brands that have a very strong offline presence.
However, the digital presence of Cadbury India is something that it should work out on about as much as its competitors do.
To begin with, Cadbury India’s digital presence is much lesser as compared to its competitors.
1. Twitter
Cadbury’s Twitter page has 317k followers at the time of writing this article which is higherr than its nearest competitor Nestle which has 287k? followers. It has also created Twitter handles for its popular Bournvita, Gems, etc.
2. Instagram
It should also have to work on increasing its followers base on Instagram as it’s popular among teenagers of this generation. The engagement ratio is way less than most of its competitors.
3. Website
It doesn’t have a website with its domain name. It only has a section on its parent company’s website, Mondelez International. The website also needs to be optimized so that it gets the first spot on Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP).
Popular brands such as Dairy Milk, and Oreo don’t have websites as well. A separate website for the brand makes it easier for people to know more about the products and also increases transparency between the company and the audience.
