Low prices, the customers would not want to be paying high prices for the products, when other companies may be offering a lower one. Good quality is very important. The customers want something that they know has been produced properly and are therefore willing to pay a higher price.
Cadburys customers:
Cadburys customers will be interested in the price and quality of the product (chocolate bar). This is because they would not pay a lot of money for something that has been produced with cheap ingredients. However they will be prepared to pay extra for expensive and well produced products. They will also be interested in the hygiene of the factory and the machinery during the production line.
Managers:
Managers are very important for the business. They need to know what’s happening in the business, and they need to be in control.
