A comparative analysis of differential consumer response across supermarket and specialty store in the candy category

چکیده
Retailing industry has undergone tremendous change in its complexity and sophistication over the past few years. Globally we are witnessing the evolution of retailing industry from traditionally micromanaged small retail formats like mom and pop store to modern corporate-managed large retail formats like supermarkets. Consumers are also shopping across these various store formats even for the products in similar categories. In this research, we posit that consumer purchases in the similar categories may very well be characterized by differential responses to marketing mix across different store formats. The proposed model accounts for the influences that these diverse response parameters and preferences have on one another as well as consumer heterogeneity. Our results show that sensitivities to marketing mix as well as correlations in preferences do indeed vary across formats for consumer purchases in similar categories. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملPrice Dispersion in the Grocery Market
The proverbial “law of one price” is virtually never empirically valid. Homogeneous goods are often sold at widely different prices by rival firms, even in environments that seem particularly conducive to economic competition. And prices for the same goods often vary over time. The grocery market seems to be one of the prime examples of price dispersion in which there exists price uncertainty. ...
