    Mystery Shopper on Your Journey Around Cadbury World - It Is Your Opinion

    Study Tour Booklet Topics covered in this booklet are: Customer needs Communication Presentation of staff Customer records Created by S McLoughlin and C Marsh 2005 (Education Consultants) Cadbury World Cadbury World is the UK’s leading paid admission visitor centre, and it’s the 30th biggest tourist attraction (Visit Britain “Visits to Tourist Attractions 2002) it was opened at a cost of £5.9 million, in 1990. It was seen as a new venture into leisure, to rival other leisure attraction operators, but was principally a public relations tool, which quickly became a popular half-day visit for devotees of Cadbury’s chocolate, of all ages. Cadbury World is owned by Cadbury U.K. It is self-contained in that it has no direct responsibility for the marketing of individual confectionery brands, although there is a major (unquantified) contribution to the image of the Cadbury master-brand. The original vision for Cadbury World was to be an alternative attraction for the many thousands of members of the public denied access to the Bournville factory since 1969. Factory tours ceased around the time of the merger between Cadbury and Schweppes. In setting up Cadbury World, in the face of strict health and safety and hygiene legislation, the vision was to underpin the central message of “Cadbury means chocolate means fun” with the interpretation of cocoa and Cadbury’s chocolate both past and present. Later, the vision developed as follows: To significantly enhance consumers’ perceptions of Cadbury and develop long term brand loyalty by: • Giving the visitor a memorable and enjoyable, uniquely Cadbury chocolate experience • Offering high quality and good value for money • Delivering Cadbury values of fun and family, whilst achieving a break-even cost target for Cadbury Limited.

  • “The Attraction of Francis”

    “The Attraction of Francis”

    “The Attraction of Francis” extract from Praying with Francis de Sales by THOMAS F. DAILEY, O.S.F.S. © 1997 by Saint Mary’s Press (Winona, MN) In A World Waiting to Be Born, the popular psychologist M. Scott Peck claims in his opening chapter that "Something Is Seriously Wrong" with our modern world. That something, he argues, is the ever-growing phenomenon of "incivility" or being hurtful to others. In this day and age, where the concern for oneself above all others breeds an infectious materialism and a callous disregard for life, the practice of a true civility — the awareness of and intention to be genuinely good to others — is surely lacking, both in our interpersonal relationships and in our societal institutions. Four centuries ago another popular writer, FRANCIS DE SALES (1567-1622) envisioned a world re-born already through the love of God. Francis' vision of this world is founded on a deep appreciation of the love that God has showered upon us through the gifts of creation and human life, particularly in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Francis believed that beauty and goodness are the hallmarks of our world, as gifts born from God's deep and abiding love for each one of us. Enabled and ennobled by this love, we are capable of much more than we might well imagine. We are capable of living a true life of devotion in this world. We are capable of giving birth to a new world. Francis' spirit has permeated the Christian world. His life story, his written treasury, and his religious legacy — all point to the virtuous qualities of a man imbued with the love of God and desirous of sharing that love with all who would seek it.
