Conclusion..
Dairy milk was the most preferred (Both by adults & kids) & Sold brand as said by 8 to 9 retailers followed by Munch, Five star, Kit-Kat and so on.

Selling at price points was a huge advantage as many customers asked for 5 Rs. 2 Rs. Chocolates and felt easy to pay change

There was lot of brand loyal customers for Bar One and Milky Bar who specifically asked for these brands. (E.g. There is a customer in complete bazaar who buys 10 Bar One chocolate every day regularly. Some college students bought Milky Bar)

Conclusion..
Retailers look at the profit margin and decides what to & what not to keep near the counters and otherwise in case of space constraints.

Nestle Assets were not monitored properly by merchandisers as it is done for Cadburys. There were lot of other products kept inside Nestle..

Continued..
There was more branding and shelf space for Munch (50%) and Kitkat (30%) compared to other chocolates like Bar One, Milky Bar.

When there is no proper plan in place for shelf arrangement of chocolates, It is done on the basis of eye sight of the Target Customer. -Lower rack with Milky Bar, Gems, Kinder Joy etc. -Middle rack with Munch, Kitkat, Dairy Milk etc. -Upper rack with Bar one, 5 Star, Bourneville etc.

Continued..
The target sales of each Distributors is set based on the routes they are selling but promotional schemes were the same. Some retailers said Cadbury¶s schemes (Bulk purchase offers) are good compared to Nestle (Though percentage margin is almost same), Hence they prefer keeping Cadbury¶s products in the available space for chocolates. Some customers buys Munch & Kit Kat bulk/family packs regularly and hence order for Munch boxes & Kit Kat family packs is high compared to other chocolates.

Continued..
Considerable amount of shelf space is given to chocolates like Snickers, Ferrero, Delfi, Bounty, Mars etc. almost equal to that of Nestle chocolates when kept in common racks Some kids of age range 4-6 years recognize the chocolate brand names or any names related to the brand name Super markets had lot of imported chocolates including some of Nestle brands Chocolates with different type of packaging and the different type of racks/dispensers used for displaying chocolates & other products attracts more customers (Impulse purchase increases there by).
