Abstract: | Sales promotion techniques such as product sampling and couponing are widely believed to encourage trial among non-users, but few published studies have verified this empirically. This paper reports the results of a study that examined the effectiveness of mail-drop product samples and coupons as means of promoting trial behaviour among non-users of three products. The results indicated that samples and coupons encourage more trial when delivered in combination than when delivered separately. |
