Hershey impacted the world in a huge way. A farm boy from Derry Church became an aspiring candy maker with only schooling up to fourth grade.

Kit-kats, Hershey bars, Skittles, and Jolly Ranchers. The reason these sweets, and many other products, are so popular is because of their sugar content. It’s hard to imagine that something used in nearly every food today was practically nonexistent at one point. But this is true- sugar wasn’t introduced globally until the 1500’s. Following this introduction, the trade that sprung up would come to be one of the most successful and profitable in the world. The Sugar Trade’s success was driven by many factors. Out of those several factors, the ones that promised success were high consumer demand, willing investors with a lot of capital, and the usage of slave labor.
While Europe and the United States account for most chocolate consumption, the confection is growing in popularity in Asia and market forecasts are optimistic about the prospects in China and India (Nieburg, 2013, para 9). According to the CNN Freedom Project, the chocolate industry rakes in $83 billion a year, surpassing the Gross Domestic Product of over a hundred nations (“Who consumes the most chocolate,” 2012, para 3). If chocolate continues grow popular in Asia, it stands to become even more lucrative.

For Milton Hershey, he was the type of person that not a lot of people expected a whole lot out of. He was your typical small town boy, and although he had very little growing up, he learned to be happy with what he was given. Although Milton Hershey, did grow to be an amazing businessman, he had almost no formal schooling or education after being thirteen years of age. He left school to work, and also to help take care with his mother. It was while Milton was growing up, that his father (Henry) left his mother. In many ways, it was Henry, Milton’s father, who inspired him to be the type of leader he was, and to never give up, no matter how many times he failed. While Milton was still growing up, Henry tried getting in on the oil business that was going on at the time. While he did learn a lot from the experience, he walked away empty handed. The problem that Milton could see with his father, was that he was bursting full of ideas, but he had no money, and was growing older as time went on.

Marilyn has considered trying to write a cookbook as a way to put her company name more out there. On top of that the cookbook would feature some recipes that included her products. Cowgirl Chocolates would then need to make a decision if they believe having a cookbook would possibly increase sales. Something else they should consider is the possibility of doing more marketing as an addition during holiday seasons. Most other companies in the holiday seasons see a rise in sales, but unfortunately Cowgirl Chocolates does not seem too. To help with this issue marketing strategy it should be explored.

Although under performing Peter’s in blind taste tests, Callebaut is recognized as a leading product. Like Peter’s, Callebaut is a premium priced and high quality. Callebaut has employed a higher profile marketing strategy, and stronger promotion strategy than Peter’s. Callebaut benefits from a European “myth” in which it is thought that European chocolate is superior. Callebaut has a strong manufacturing plan in place in which it will produce chocolate in the US, thereby lowering it’s production costs and retailing lower than Peter’s. Callebaut’s strengths are in its name, quality, and origin of product. Callebaut’s main weakness is that it under performs Peter’s in blind taste tests. If Peter’s can exploit this, it may prove to be a significant weakness for Callebaut.
Cadburys began in 1824 when John Cadbury opened his first shop in Birmingham, England selling tea and drinking chocolate which he made and prepared in his shop. In 1831 he bought a warehouse not far from the shop and began making his products on a commercial scale and by 1842 he was selling 16 varieties of drinking chocolate and 11 different types of cocoas. John Cadburys health began deteriorating and he retired in 1861 leaving the company to his sons, Richard and George who in 1896 released ‘Cadbury's Cocoa Essence’ that revolutionized the confectionary industry. The business was quickly growing and the factory their father bought became too small and the brothers had the idea about a ‘Factory in a garden’ and Bourneville was created . Bournville, was a beautiful area out in the English country that had a new factory and several houses, playing fields, swimming pools and large gardens all for the employees. Once news about Bourneville spread, everyone wanted to work for Cadbury, so in 1893 a further 120 acres was added to Bournville and 143 new cottages. Business was thriving and a lot of cocoa products were being produced and occasionally there would have a lot of leftover cocoa butter from the cocoa essence and in 1897 the first bars of chocolate were made. In the 1990’s Cadbury is known for the magnificent advertisements who were created by the commissioned Cecil Aldin.
