Abstract

This study explores the role of category and brand characteristics in the effectiveness of two types of targeted coupons aimed at achieving a retailer's specific goals. In one case, the retailer issues the coupon to reward customers offering discounts in brands they already buy. In the other case, the retailer seeks to develop customers by issuing coupons in categories where they do not buy branded alternatives at the retail chain.
