Buy Less, Buy Better: Consumer Response to Green Demarketing Strategies

The research explores consumer response to a new type of demarketing, green demarketing (GD). GD refers to a message strategy whereby a firm encourages consumers to buy less at the category level through purchase of the firm’s brand. Positive consumer response may depend on the firm’s perceived motive to demarket.
