This book was released on 2006-03-05 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7 (85%), Mid Sweden University, language: English, abstract: Due to the keen competition nowadays, companies are increasingly attaching more importance to sales promotion to attract consumers and to relationship marketing to retain them as loyal clients. It is crucial for enterprises to know people’s reactions towards marketing tools in order to implement them successfully. Therefore, this study analyses the impact of these two concepts, with an emphasis on sales promotion, on the customers’ purchase decision-making process by investigating consumers’ points of view towards these instruments. These attitudes will be explained by the notion of deal-proneness. An online survey has been conducted in Germany with 471 respondents. The aim was not just to examine financial advantages but also material incentives which make people buy a certain product, as economic savings are not the only benefit of purchasing a product. Hence, we concentrated on five sales promotion tools, namely samples, coupons, premiums, loyalty cards and sweepstakes. The results, among others, show that samples and coupons are the customer’s favourite actions whereas sweepstakes do not achieve the desired effects for the company. Furthermore, this research states possibilities to connect short-term promotion tools with the long-ranging relationship approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As classical mass advertising is losing effectiveness to generate revenues, marketing managers attach importance to alternative methods to gain and retain customers. In particular, sales promotion activities are popular to give prospect customers an incentive to buy, whereas the relationship approach aims at establishing a long-lasting bond between provider and customer. In order to find out whether these tendencies provoke the desired actions, a survey among German consumers was conducted, investigating their attitude towards determined marketing tools and each tool's impact on the purchase decision-making process. The existing deal-proneness towards the promotion tools samples, coupons, premiums, loyalty cards and sweepstakes and their ability to provoke purchase and re-purchase was examined. Further, this research states possibilities to connect short-term activities with the long-ranging relationship approach and is therefore of high value for marketing manager and consultants, company management, lectures and students of business and media & communication studies; as well as for everyone who is curious to know which promotion tool is the German's favourite one.
