- 6Aggregation Marketing Elements (3)
- 7Aggregation Suggestionmarket response should be estimated using the most disaggregated data available
- 81. Temporal comparability (3)• Adjustment for trend and Season
• Adjustment for inflation
• Adjustment for demographic developments over time - 92. Spatial comparability (2)• Correction for transactions outside of a sales territory
• Inclusion of all factors which explain structural differences of sales territories
Measures - 103. Comparability ofentities (2)• City versus ZIP code
• Brand versus individual stock keeping units (SKUs) - 114. Comparability of marketing Elements (2)• Use different voucher codes for different marketing elements (e.g., on print coupons, in TV commercials, on the internet)
• Asking customer how she/he was reached by marketing - 125. Comparability: Other• Jackknife method:
Calculation of parameters for a lot of subsamples and creation of a stable parameter value as a mean value of the subsample parameter values (i.e., coefficients). - 13Characteristics of Experiments (2)
- 14Types of experiments used to estimate market response functions (3)1. Laboratory experiments (artificial environment)
2. Simulated field experiments
3. Field experiments - 15Types of Experiments 1. Laboratory experiments (3)a. Money equivalents for products
b. Estimation of preferences by rank-ordering of product stimuli (conjoint analysis)
c. Recall of commercials in manipulated reading material - 16Types of Experiments 2. Simulated field Experiments (2)a. Test market simulations
b. Mini test market - 17Types of Experiments 3. Field Experiments (4)
- 18Evaluation of types of Experiments (3)
- 19Evaluation of experiments by managers (5)1. field experiments are expensive & time-consuming.
2. Results are also informative for competitors.
3. Field experiments need to take place during day-to-day Business, thus, not all external influences can be controlled for.
4. Consequently experimentally reduced sales activities, decreases in sales & customer relations which have been established over a long time can suffer.
5. After ending experimentally increased sales activities, customers may react negatively when the level of sales activities return to the former level. - 20Evaluation of experiments by managers Nevertheless:Nevertheless:
Even though extensive field experiments might not be necessarily advantageous per se, it is still recommended to continuously run small experiments which allow management to permanently stay updated and gain new customer insights. - 21Analogies
- 22Meta-analyses
- 23Subjective response estimation- In many cases only one point of the market response function is known
- managers make decisions based on intuitive knowledge
- market response function not estimated directly
- parameters derived from point estimates (ADBUDG )Estimation of the ADBUDG function . - 24Estimation of the ADBUDG function Step 1
- 25Estimation of the ADBUDG function Step 2
- 26Evaluation 1. Statistical estimation (non-experimental)
- 27Evaluation 2. Experimental estimationAdvantages:
• Market response is directly attributable to the variation of marketing Instruments
• Error can be quantified
Disadvantages:
• A lot of requirements regarding the experimental design
• Expensive and time-consuming - 28Evaluation 3. Analogies and meta-analysesAdvantages:
• Applicable even to new products
Disadvantages:
• Low reliability - 29Evaluation 4. Subjective estimationAdvantages:
• In terms of implementation the easiest
• Intuitive knowledge is disclosed
• Estimation process triggers learning
Disadvantages:
- errors cannot be quantified
