Ec<strong>on</strong>omic theory ignores mental decisi<strong>on</strong>-making, tastes, etc. that seem vital in explaining<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong>al sensitivity.<br />

With respect to deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness, the main part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> prior research <strong>on</strong> deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness<br />

dealt with deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness as some sort <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> dependent outcome variable measured as<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong> utilizati<strong>on</strong>. Most deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness research just focused <strong>on</strong> promoti<strong>on</strong>al behavior<br />

within <strong>on</strong>e category. But, the work <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Ainslie and Rossi (1998) is a positive excepti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

They use deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness in its original meaning, as a comm<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sumer trait whose<br />

existence should result in similarities in promoti<strong>on</strong> sensitivity across multiple categories.<br />

This line <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> reas<strong>on</strong>ing will be extended by us across different sales promoti<strong>on</strong> reacti<strong>on</strong><br />

mechanisms to make a c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> to deal pr<strong>on</strong>eness.<br />

A final remark is that the most research presented in Table A4.1 did not<br />

incorporate the three aspects menti<strong>on</strong>ed before into <strong>on</strong>e single framework. In this research,<br />

we aim at providing insights into household promoti<strong>on</strong>al purchase behavior by<br />

incorporating the three aspects into a single framework.<br />
