IPT − is smaller than IPT . We also expect that households purchase more <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a product<br />

that is <strong>on</strong> promoti<strong>on</strong> and then wait l<strong>on</strong>ger before they purchase again. So IPT + is expected<br />

to be larger than IPT . The sign <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the net effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sales promoti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> purchase timing,<br />

The time accelerati<strong>on</strong> effect is the relative change in the length <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the pre-promoti<strong>on</strong>al<br />

5.4.2.3.2 <strong>Purchase</strong> Quantity<br />

The purchase quantity effect is measured by comparing the average purchase volume<br />

during n<strong>on</strong>-promoti<strong>on</strong>al or not utilized promoti<strong>on</strong>al shopping trips ( q ) with the average<br />

quantity bought during the n<strong>on</strong>-promoti<strong>on</strong>al or not utilized promoti<strong>on</strong>al pre-promoti<strong>on</strong>al<br />

shopping trip ( q − ), the average quantity bought during a utilized promoti<strong>on</strong>al shopping<br />

trip ( q 0 ), and the average quantity bought during a n<strong>on</strong>-promoti<strong>on</strong>al or not utilized<br />
