The results presented in Table 8.7 show that promoti<strong>on</strong>s lead more <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten to increased<br />

purchase quantities and accelerated purchase times than to decreased purchase quantities and<br />

postp<strong>on</strong>ed purchase times. S<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>t drink, fruit juice, and c<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fee promoti<strong>on</strong>s mainly lead to brand<br />

switching and increased purchase quantity. The relative occurrence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the effects differs the<br />

most between potato chips and candy bars promoti<strong>on</strong>s. Brand switching, increased purchase<br />

quantity, and purchase time are the most <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten occurring effects for both product categories,<br />

but the degree <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> occurrence is much higher for candy bar promoti<strong>on</strong>s. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Promoti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g>s seem to<br />

influence potato chips purchases the least and candy bar purchases the most. The detailed<br />

results presented in Table A8.3 show that brand switching occurs the least for potato chips<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong>s and the most for candy bar promoti<strong>on</strong>s. Candy bar promoti<strong>on</strong>s also have the<br />

largest influence <strong>on</strong> household purchase timing decisi<strong>on</strong>s. <strong>Purchase</strong>s within this category seem<br />

to be guided by promoti<strong>on</strong>s to a large extent.<br />

Interestingly, the effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a sales promoti<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> purchase quantity is larger when it is<br />

not in combinati<strong>on</strong> with brand switching. Table 8.8 c<strong>on</strong>tains the comparis<strong>on</strong> between brand<br />

switch and n<strong>on</strong>-brand switch involved aggregated effects for each product category separately.<br />

The cells represent the average quantities per shopping trip when the menti<strong>on</strong>ed effects occur.<br />
