    REVIEW OF LITEIIATURE

    Sales promotion has become an integral part of the promotion schemesof both manufacturers and retailers of durable as well as non-durable consumer goods. It consumes a very significant portion of the promotional expenses of marketers. In some of the developed countries allocation of promotion budgetto sales promotion has far exceeded spending on advertisement. Brandmanagers are now relying heavily on sales promotion because its impact onsales is more direct, immediate, and quantifiable as compared to advertisement.

    arketers use both price and non-price promotions either independently or inassociation with each other. !rice promotions allow buyers to make somesavings of money where as non-price promotions like premium add value to theoffer. !oint-of-!urchase promotions like feature advertisements and displayslead to impulse buying. "he dynamic nature of sales promotion has inspiredmany researchers to turn their attention to study the various issues related tothis element of promotion mix. any studies have been conducted on the

    planning, implementation and evaluation aspect of sales promotion worldwide."hese studies are reviewed and presented briefly under suitable heads likeStudies on #onsumer !romotion, Studies on Sales $orce !romotion, Studies on

    "rade !romotion and %ther Studies on !romotion.

    2.1 Studies On Consumer Promotions

    a&ority of the studies on sales promotion encompass consumer sales promotion strategies of marketers. #onsumer sales promotion techniques arealso called 'pull strategies' as they attract or pull customers towards the

    promoted brand or promoted store as the case may be. (ccording to one study,

    consumer sales promotions are the most researched topic ahead of trade promotion and sale force promotion. Important issues examined in thesestudies include the consumer's perception of marketers sales promotionactivities, effect of promotion on consumption, trial purchase, categoryexpansion, brand switching, brand evaluations, stock piling and consumptionrelationship, long term impact of promotions, incentive-outlay ratio, etc.#onsumer sales promotion literatures are e r classified in to three categories,vi).l.Studies on Impact of Sales promotion* +.Studies on !erception about Sales!romotion* and .

    Studies relating to the impact of consumer sales promotion on consumer behavior, sales, profit, market share, etc. are included in this section. "hese

    studies provide guidelines to managers on various issues such as theappropriate tools that may be used for achieving a specific marketing ob&ective,improve their sales promotion effectiveness and so on.

    /ecchio, 0el, 0evon et.al. !2""#$ 'report the results of the study, whichexamined the effect of sales promotion on brand preference through etaanalysis. esults of 12 studies had been integrated. (s per the study sales

    promotions do not affect post promotion brand preferences in general. Butdepending upon characteristics of sales promotion and the promoted product,

    promotion can either increase or decrease preference for a brand.

    3dubisi, %ly, 3elson and oi, "ung, #hiew !2""%$ in their study evaluated theimpact of sales promotional tools, namely coupon, price discount, free sample,

    bonus pack, and in-store display, on product trial and repurchase behaviour of consumers. "he moderation role of fear of losing face on the relationship

    between the sales promotional tools and product trial was also examined. "heresults of study show that price discounts, fiee samples, bonus packs, and in-

    store display are associated with product trial. #oupon does not have anysignificant effect on product trial. "rial determines repurchase behaviour andalso mediates in the relationship between sales

    promotions and repurchase. $ear of losing face significantly moderates therelationship between in-store display and product trial.

    4umar, /. and Swaminathan, Srinivasan !2""%$ 'studied the impact of couponson brand sale and how that impact decays over the life of the coupon. "heauthors use an econometric model to demonstrate the coupon effect in terms of equivalent price reduction, account for coupon effect over time, allowinference of coupon effects when retailers decide to double or triple the couponvalue and provide both self-coupon and cross-coupon elasticities at differentlevels of aggregation. esults indicate that the effect of doubling the face valueof coupon result in more than a proportionate increase in elasticity and bothself and cross- coupon elasticities are much smaller in magnitude than theaverage self-cross price elasticity.

    0awes, 7ohn 6+8895 'reported the result of his study on the effect of amassively successfbl price promotion in a consumer goods category.Specifically, he sought to determine if this large price promotion had any long-

    term impact on brand value* short-term impact on total category volume for theretailer* short-term effect on competing retailers* and long-term effect oncategory sales for the retailer who runs the promotion. esults of the studyshowed that a very successfbl promotion did not have any longer-term effecton the brand 6positive or negative5, but it did expand the total category for theretailer, though temporarily. Sales dropped slightly for one competing retailer at the time of promotion out of the three units studied. It was observed that the

    promotion was followed by a decline in the total category volume for theretailer, suggesting some degree of purchase acceleration or stockpiling byconsumers, :onger-term negative effect on category cancelled outapproximately two third of the gain of the price promotion to the retailer.

    Baohong et.al. 6+88 5 'reviewed various studies relating to the impact of promotion on brand switching and found that these studies used choicemodels, especially logit. (ccording to these studies promotion has a strongeffect on brand switching. "he authors show that logit choice model cansubstantially over estimate brand switching because they do not take in to

    account the rational ad&ustments that customers make to take advantage of promotion. :ogit models do not take in to account stock piling anddeceleration strategies. "hey use a dynamic rational model and compare it witha logit model. "he result was that logit models over estimate brand switching,that nested logit helps address the problem but not completely and thatdynamic rational model provide the most accurate estimate of switching.

    pattern of sub&ects- whether or not sub&ects switch among brands- and theubiquity of promotions in a product category. If only one brand is being

    promoted and sub&ects are generally loyal to the last brand purchased, brandchoice probability declines from pre-promotion levels once the promotion is

    withdrawn. @owever if sub&ects tend to switch among brands in the absence of promotion, or several brands are being promoted, this decline is mitigatedandlor does not occur.

    consume. "his is because stock piling accelerates both consumption incidenceand quantity when the product is convenient to consume but only influencesconsumption quantity when the product requires preparation. In addition theauthors show that stock piling triggers impulse consumption incidences

    because it raises the salience of these products at the point of consumption.?hen a product is being consumed, however, stockpiling increases thequantity consumed because the product is perceived as relatively inexpensiveto consume.
