Predicting Contest Proneness and Participation
Due to increased price discounting and store brand competition in the grocery market there is resurgent interest in understanding consumers’ propensity to engage in non-price sales promotions. This study identifies the impact of consumers’ economic, hedonic and search cost motives on proneness to contest-sweepstake participation and subsequently examines whether proneness is a predictor of promotion choice. The results from a survey of 500 consumers finds that proneness is largely related to hedonic motives and that proneness is a statistically significant predictor of preference for choosing a sweepstake promotion over that of a price discount.
