7.5.2.3 Type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Residence<br />

Type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> housing itself is related to storage space and could therefore be a factor that<br />

influences promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se. But Table 7.5 shows that our results do not c<strong>on</strong>firm this.<br />

Note that a single family house is called detached in the UK and a town house is called a<br />

terraced house in the UK. Storage space or the lack <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> storage space does not seem to be an<br />

important driver <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sales promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se. On the other hand, households living in a<br />

town house are the most promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>sive. These households have quite some storage<br />

space, and perhaps somewhat more limited grocery budgets that households living in single<br />

family houses. Perhaps the combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> grocery budget and storage space is more<br />

promising when trying to identify drivers <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sales promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se.<br />

As menti<strong>on</strong>ed before, storage space is not relevant for brand switching or store<br />

switching. But even when we exclude these two reacti<strong>on</strong> mechanisms and focus and the<br />

remaining <strong>on</strong>es (excluding observati<strong>on</strong>s dealing with promoti<strong>on</strong>s for n<strong>on</strong>-favorite brands<br />

and re-estimate the model, investigating the relati<strong>on</strong>ship between size <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the house and n<strong>on</strong>brand<br />

switching promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se, results are not reported), no empirical support is<br />

found for a positive relati<strong>on</strong> between type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> housing and promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se.<br />
