Abstract
The study on customer brand preference on pasteurized packaged milk is taken place
in Coimbatore city of Tamilnadu, India. The methodology of the study is by mall intercept
response collection, whereby shoppers were intercepted in the public areas of shopping
outlets and distributed the structured questionnaire for their valuable response. Non-
Probability and purposive Sampling techniques were employed with a sample size of 150
respondents. In our materialistic and competitive societies, people want to give meaning to
their consumption by extending specific preference towards a particular brand .Hence,
producers and marketers of packaged milk products need to identify those specific
factors/variables which determine their brand preference of consumers on pasteurized
packaged milk. From this study, it is concluded that the dominant variables identified by
using statistical analysis (Multiple Regression Analysis) from consumer responses are
advertisement, reasonable price, taste, brand name and packaging which has got prominent
implications on the marketers brand building exercise.
Key Terms: Brand, Pasteurized Milk, Purposive Sampling, Packaged Milk.

1. Introduction
India has a population of more than one billion with diverse food habits, cultures,
traditions and religions. It is an understood fact that there is regional variation within India.
India got plains of long tradition of milk production and increased consumption every year
and in India where most of the coastal belts do not have sufficient dairying practices, also got
places filled with forest and hilly regions with no signs and observations of dairying
practices. The government has decided to increase the milk production in India to 180 million
tonnes by 2021-2022. In olden days milk can be purchased only from milk vendors
(unpasteurized milk), but now it’s also available in packet (pasteurized milk).Several brands
are available in the form of packet milk. Co-operative and private sectors handled only 20%
of the country’s milk production and the remaining is handled by an un-organized sector. The
Government of India had also promulgated the milk and milk product order (MMPO) 1992
on 9-06-1992 under the provisions of essential commodity act, the main objective of the
order is to maintain and increase in supply of liquid milk of desired quality in interest of
general public and also for regulating the production processing and distribution of milk and
their milk products. Rising awareness about hygiene and adulteration of loose milk has led to
a shift among consumers in urban areas to packaged milk. Consumer Preference are changing
globally incase of milk consumption in their respective markets. Mostly consumers in this
present contemporary scenario preferring packaged milk with UHT (Ultra High Temperature)
treated milk, which is due to present awareness about food safety, growing literacy rates,
consumer education campaigns sponsored by governments and dairy producers ,hence for
these reasons of health, safety and convenience, milk is increasingly consumed either in
pouches or cartons. Pasteurized plastic pouches consumption of milk products in India has
grown at the rate of 4.5%.Tamilnadu is having daily milk production of 145.88 lakh litres,
which is one of the leading states in milk production in India. Milk cooperatives of Tamil
Nadu, with the help from the government and National Dairy Development Board (NDDB),
have played substantial roles in taking the state towards higher production of milk in India.
Also, NDDB also undertakes methodical approach and appropriate marketing strategy (under
Exclusive Brand name Aavin) for the upliftment of Tamil Nadu milk cooperatives societies.
Government players along with Private players in Indian diary industry are exploring these
opportunities to come out with various milk brands. (Dennis Johnson, 2009).The major share
of processed liquid milk is marketed by dairy cooperatives in India. There are 170 Milk
producers of cooperative unions emerged in India and among which 15 state cooperative
Milk Marketing federations’ lays scattered across India. These cooperatives created several
brands like Amul (GCMMF), Vijaya (AP), Verka (Punjab), Saras (Rajasthan). Nandini
(Karnataka), Milma (Kerala), Aavin(Tamilnadu) and Gokul(Kolhapur). India’s largest milk
producer states are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Hence,the research study focused on one particular city
of Tamilnadu namely Coimbatore ,where marketers of pasteurized milk are interested to
explore the various factors responsible for determining the brand preference among the
consumers for formulation of effective branding strategy as revealed during NDDB review
meeting minutes.
2. Research objectives
To analyze the demographic and relational profiles’ of consumers who
prefer branded pasteurized packaged milk from Coimbatore city of Tamilnadu, India.
Volume:01, Number:07, Nov-2011 : RJSSM Page 54 www.theinternationaljournal.org
To identify those factors and variables, which influences the brand
preferences among consumers?
3. Literature review
3.1. Conceptual Review on Branding
A brand it means the identity of a particular product, service, or business. A brand can
take many figures, including a slogan, sign, symbol, name and slogan. The word brand
simply starts from person tells about the brand to another person. If the brand name is legally
protected it means trade mark. Brand, it is the personality that pointing a product, service or
company and it how links the Customers, Staff, Partners, Investors etc. Some persons
classifies the intellectual aspect, brand association it is like images, experiences, beliefs,
attitudes, thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and so on that become linked to the brand, of a
brand from the experiential aspect. The experiential aspect refers the sum of all points of
contact with the brand and is known as the brand experience. The psychological aspect,
sometimes considered as the brand image, is a symbolic representation develops in the
minds of people and it includes all the information and expectations regarding a product and
service. People, who are indulged in branding search for development or alignment the
expectations behind the brand experience, develop a good impression that the product or
services are unique with some special qualities or characteristics. It is essential elements in
advertising. And it tells about what the brand owner can offer in market place. Consumer
perceives that branding is an essential value added aspects of product and services as it serves
as a qualitative and unique character. Normally branded products and services were prices
will be higher.
3.2. Research review on branding
In the present literature brand preference has been increased. There is more new
innovation and creativities ideas are in the market with high risk and from that most are failed
to create a market place that creates the need of the marketers to have clear cut view of
success factor in branded adoption. How the consumer prefers for various good and services
this is quite often explained in Theories of adoption.( Rogers, 1995; Tornasky and Klein,
1982; Mason, 1990; Charlotte, 1999).In brand preference profitability, risk, cost are
essential and some theories are also emphasis these things. (Dorsch etal, 2000). The
performance of a product and its function depends on the ability of the product quality.
(Kotler, 2003). A study published in Nutrition and Cancer indicates that low fat dairy
products – including low fat milk, cheese and yogurt – may help reduce the risk of colon
cancer, the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. This area of research is
emerging. Studies have shown positive and neutral benefits, No other foods offer quite the
same nutrients as milk and dairy products. Most authorities, including the National Institutes
of Health and the American Dietetic Association, recommend calcium-rich foods like low fat
milk (Holt, 2001) and dairy products – rather than supplements – as the preferred source of
calcium The American diet is chronically low in calcium – a nutrient that plays a valuable
role in building strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Research indicates
calcium may also reduce high blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart disease and
certain cancers. The latest evidence suggests that calcium may even help in the fight against
obesity – which has become an epidemic in this country. Studies indicate that calcium plays a
Volume:01, Number:07, Nov-2011 : RJSSM Page 55 www.theinternationaljournal.org
role in the body’s natural fat burning ability and may make weight loss efforts more effective
and improves the overall health condition of the consumer. During the change of life style,
families requires nutritious as well as the preparation period also less in time at this point,
where liquid milk holds a chance to succeed taste and preference vary from one age group to
another age group most important observations was about flavors it says, so many trends
come and go but no substitutes for flavor trend. Pasteurization is that it renders milk such
safer to drink. However, it is easy to destroy the enzymes which make milk easier to digest
and alter the flavor of the milk although person who is comfortable with the pasteurized mild
may not be a aware of the difference between raw milk and pasteurized milk. Consumer’s
behavior to product choice is greatly affected by economic circumstances and lifestyle pattern
which is shaped by whether consumers are money-constrained or time constrained (Kotler
and Keller, 2006). Identifying, defining, responding to and sometimes leading customer and
consumer tastes and requirements will always represent the primary considerations of a
marketing organization. Globally, the consumption of dairy products continues to increase in
what is constantly changing market environment (Tim Mckenna, 2005). Cow's milk is a
natural food and is the basis for all other dairy products. We need milk for all the vitamins
and minerals it contains, that are essential to a healthy life. Milk provides us with calcium
which helps to maintain the strength and density of our bone. This mineral also helps to
prevent bone loss. Cotton B.C. (1978) reported results of a study which measured the
response of consumer to promotional deals for dairy products. The objectives were to
determine extent to which consumption of various dairy products was influenced by deals; to
analyze response of household with various demographic characteristics; and to determine
relative response for different types of promotional deals An advertisement, as defined by
Hanson (1990) is consumer education, this is because advertisements are informative sources
to consumers and the dairy milk market for long and it has been observed that gluts do occur
at times in the market, these gluts may be due to the ignorance (lack of awareness) of the
products, which now makes these products remain for longer than necessary on the shelves
where they may exceed their expiry dates thereby causing losses to producer and sellers alike,
the need therefore to enlighten the public (consumers) has now led marketers into spending
money on enlightening the populace about the presence and importance of their products, this
they do through advertising and sales promotion. (Iliriana Miftari, 2009) represents the men
had much more buying power compared to women. Men’s role in the decisions process for
milk and other dairy products was mainly as buyers. Women’s role in the decisions process
was mainly as influencers and deciders of the product choice. New entrants to the market
could not use the established distribution channels because they were owned and operated by
the local dairy company. Consequently, entering firms channeled their products to consumers
through other food retail outlets: street vendors, small grocery stores, and the newly emerging
supermarkets and convenience stores. The proliferation of nutrition information and positive
messages promoting milk consumption can be viewed as an increase in the education level of
the general population concerning dairy products.(fuller etal., 2004) . Advertisement and
sales promotion create the awareness about the product; it has positive impact on sales
(Adentunji etal. 2007). Innovation has always played a key role in expansion and creation of
any category – the innovation in processing coupled with innovation in packaging of raw
milk, paved way for an alternate healthy beverage segment. Today the packaged milk and
milk-based beverage segment offers everything from plain pasteurized variants of milk such
as toned milk, double toned milk, skimmed milk, ultra-high-temperature (UHT) pasteurized
milk, full cream milk, standardized milk to fortified milk and slew of ready-to drink (RTD)
milk-based beverages – flavored milk, milk shakes, cold coffees, butter milk, yoghurt based
traditional Indian beverages lassi and thandai, herbal milk drinks, milk based sports drinks
Volume:01, Number:07, Nov-2011 : RJSSM Page 56 www.theinternationaljournal.org
and probiotic milks(Juhi Sharma, 2009).The brand is a complex quality cue and an important
factor in purchase decision making. Brand has also a potential to influence on the formulation
of sensory evaluation (Deliza and MacFie, 1996). When brand equity is high, customers are
often more prepared to pay a price premium for the product and are more likely to engage in
favorable word-of-mouth communications regarding the firm and its brands (Bendixen,
Bukasa and Abratt, 2004).
The expected shelf life of pasteurized milk has increased significantly during the past
25 years. Much of the packaged milk today is dated for removal from the store after 2 week
but with a statement on the package that it will keep an additional week if properly
refrigerated. Thus, there has been an apparent increase in psychrotrophic off-flavors primarily
from longer storage of milk prior to consumption and often at temperatures that favor growth
of causative bacteria. Longer storage for raw milk also can contribute to the problem, if
excessive growth of psychrotrophs occurs. Although the bacteria are killed by pasteurization,
certain heat resistant enzymes subsequently may catalyze proteolytic and lipolytic reactions.
Flavors associated with psychrotrophic growth include bitter, fruity, putrid, and unclean
(Thomas, 1981).CAGR of global consumption of milk and dairy products is expected by rise
of 2.2% over the next three years. Consumption of long-life packaged milk is also on the rise
in the advanced, mature markets where milk consumption is already very high. (Dennis
Johnson, 2009). The researcher hypothesized that the choice or preference of a dairy brands
are influenced by the following factors through literature review: A Conceptual framework
has been developed using the theoretical review and the same was used for developing the
measurement scale construct.

located across four zones of Coimbatore city.The sampling frame consists of meeting the
consumers in the mentioned respective place of Coimbatore city since they represent the
target market for dairy milk.
Sample size determination- A sample size of 150 respondents from the target market of
individual consumers was taken for the study.
Data collection
Data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire. Five point likert scale used in the
measurement scale.
Statistical tools used: Cronbach's α (alpha) is commonly used as a measure of the internal
consistency or reliability of an which will generally increase as the intercorrelations among
test items increase and is thus known as an internal consistency estimate of reliability of test
scores(.81), because intercorrelations among test items are maximized when all items
measure the same construct i.e. which indirectly indicate the degree to which a set of items
measures a single one-dimensional latent construct.Demographic and Relational profile of
consumers analyzed using frequency analysis (i.e.) percentage analysis in this study. Factor
analysis was used to identity the factors which determine brand preference in dairy milk.
Factor analyses (FA) are techniques used when the researcher is interested in identifying a
smaller number of factors underlying a large number of observed variables. Variables that
have a high correlation between them, and are largely independent of other subsets of
variable, are combined into factors. Finally in this study multiple regression analysis is the
simplest form of regression analysis which involves finding the best straight line relationship
between dependent and two or more independent variables.

It is inferred that the researcher identified only those items which are greater than ±
0.5 value which got factor loaded in the respective factors. In Factor 1 the variables such as
Freshness, Taste, Brand Name and Packaging are loaded together and termed as Product
Expectation. In Factor2 the variables such as good for health, fat control and doctor
recommendation loaded together and termed as Healthiness. In Factor 3 the variables such
as Prompt supply, Reasonable price and Door delivery loaded together and termed as On
Time value .Finally, in Factor 4 the variables namely various schemes and advertisement are
loaded together and termed as Promotion Mix.
Conclusions and implications of the study:
In our materialistic and competitive societies, people want to give meaning to their
consumption through their specific preference towards a particular brand .Marketers need to
identify those factors which determine their brand preference; it is a mandatory exercise to
fulfill contemporary needs of consumers to withstand into this competitive business scenario.
Brand positioning is an exercise of occupying a rigid bonded space in the minds of the
consumers. Analysis on brand preference will deliver a scope for brand loyalty which
ultimately brings in mutual profit both for consumers and organization.
Private players and government producers of pasteurized packaged milk packets have
to understand the consumer preference by identifying those specific factors and variables,
which influence the purchase of branded milk packets. Factor which constitutes the variables
such as Freshness, Taste, Brand Name and Packaging are loaded together and termed as
Product Expectation. The variables such as good for health, fat control and doctor
recommendation loaded together and termed as Healthiness Factor and the variables such as
Prompt supply, reasonable price and Door delivery loaded together and termed as On Time
value. Hence, these factors to be concentrated while doing brand building exercise. Finally,
specific variables namely various schemes and advertisement are loaded together and termed
as Promotion Mix. It is inferred from the multiple regression analysis that the advertisement,
reasonable price, taste, brand name and packaging are the most important attributes marketers
of branded packaged milk need to focus on, since these are the most preferred variables in
consumer brand selection. It is also observed that these dominant variables found in the
regression analysis, also got loaded high in the factor dimensions of factor analysis. Hence, it
is concluded that these specific variables to be given due importance in their branding
strategy.
Future recommendation for further research: Researcher in future need to focus
on other cities and states in India whenever sampling consideration to be done in order for a
comprehensive study. A pilot study followed by scientific estimation of large sample size to
be executed for better research analysis. More variables need to be incorporated through
scientific validation of the construct and reliability checking.
