The percentages presented in Table 6.5 suggest that sales promoti<strong>on</strong>s have quite some<br />

influence <strong>on</strong> purchase behavior. On average, about <strong>on</strong>e fourth <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the total sales come from<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong>al sales. Furthermore, differences between product categories are found.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Promoti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> resp<strong>on</strong>se is empirically studied in detail in the subsequent two chapters.<br />

In-depth empirical investigati<strong>on</strong>s will be reported and discussed. Each chapter deals with<br />

<strong>on</strong>e step <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the two-step approach we have chosen in this research. First the drivers <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sales<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se are studied (Chapter 7). Subsequently the decompositi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> household<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se into sales promoti<strong>on</strong> reacti<strong>on</strong> mechanisms is dealt with (Chapter 8).<br />
