In additi<strong>on</strong>, the results for the sec<strong>on</strong>d indicator <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> variety seeking, indicate that<br />

households with more favorite brands even make less use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the available promoti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Brand loyalty therefore seems to be a more important driver than variety seeking. Variety<br />

seeking leads to less loyalty and to less promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se. When we want to get more<br />

precise knowledge <strong>on</strong> the effects <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> variety seeking <strong>on</strong> sales promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se, we should<br />

actually look at the effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> for example BSnp <strong>on</strong> promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se for n<strong>on</strong>-favorite<br />

brand promoti<strong>on</strong>s. Table 7.16 c<strong>on</strong>tains the resulting coefficients when <strong>on</strong>ly promoti<strong>on</strong>s for<br />

n<strong>on</strong>-favorite brands are included in the analysis. The results from this analysis are not<br />

reported in an additi<strong>on</strong>al table. With respect to the relati<strong>on</strong>ship between household<br />

characteristics and promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se, no differences were found when incorporating <strong>on</strong>ly<br />

n<strong>on</strong>-favorite brand promoti<strong>on</strong>s in the analysis. Only for the household purchase process<br />

characteristics differences were encountered. These will be discussed in the corresp<strong>on</strong>ding<br />

sub-secti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Test results: Variety seeking and promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se are not related.<br />

The resulting coefficients are in accordance with the foregoing finding, intrinsic and<br />

extrinsic variety seeking are not related. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Sales</str<strong>on</strong>g> promoti<strong>on</strong>s do not drive the ‘real’ (intrinsic)<br />

variety seekers to try a different brand. Furthermore, no significant effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

variety seeking measure (number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> favorite brands) <strong>on</strong> promoti<strong>on</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>se is found
