The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of sales promotional tools on consumer buying behavior in an emerging market at the post-recession period. This study assesses consumers' proneness to sales promotions and examines the effectiveness of four promotional tools that are premium offers, coupons, buy and get promotions, and price discounts on buying behavior in terms of brand switching, stockpiling, purchase acceleration, and product trial. The findings reveal that consumers are more prone to price discount and buy and get promotions, respectively. Among the four promotional tools, price discount is the most effective to influence product acceleration, brand switching, stockpiling, and product trial behavior respectively. However, there is no statistically significance difference between the effectiveness of premium offer and buy and get deals with regard to brand switching behavior, product acceleration, and product trail responses. In contrast, coupons are the least ineffective promotional tool in terms of generating all types of consumer response.

The authors develop a class of mixtures of piece-wise exponential hazard models for the analysis of brand switching behavior. The models enable the effects of marketing variables to change nonproportionally over time and can, simultaneously, be used to identify segments among which switching and repeat buying behavior differ. Several forms of asymmetry in brand switching are accommodated. The authors provide an application to the analysis of scanner panel data on ketchup, which illustrates the implications for asymmetry, nonproportionality, and heterogeneity. The results show that the model predicts purchases and purchase timing in holdout data better than the models proposed by Kamakura and Russell (1989) and Vilcassim and Jain (1991).

The more new companies appear, the more offered products on the market. Of course this situation makes it easier for producers to market their products and for retailers themselves they will always compete to do more creative things in an effort to attract potential consumers. Price discounts and bonus packs are the most widely used sales promotions, both online and offline sales (Chen, Marmorstein, Tsiro, & Rao, 2012; Dawson & Kim 2009).

The study reveals that (1) there is a difference in online purchase intention between those given the percentage saving condition and those given the absolute saving condition, (2) there is a difference in purchase intention between males and females. The consumers have different assumptions about the two types of discount framing even though they both have the same meaning. This should be a concern for retailers in providing sales promotions, especially for discounts because based on the results of this study it is found that discount framing with absolute savings had a slightly stronger effect on purchase intention than percentage saving.

The article presents an overview of methods for determining the effectiveness of advertising appeals of the enterprise in conditions of competition. It is shown that the sale of goods in large batches leads to a reduction in sales costs associated with the organization of sales, transportation and storage. Therefore, when providing a quantitative discount, their value should not exceed the amount of cost savings of the seller, which is caused by the sale of goods in large batches. Similar to the effects of real responses to advertising appeals, the effects of the price of the enterprise's products are distinguished: the current effect, the form effect, the competition effect and the transition effect. The process of modeling the effects of the promotion price and the control price is considered, and of interest is the temporary price for the buyer with a discount, which is actually provided by sales managers at the enterprise. Then there will be an effect of discounts on temporary base prices. The price discount is considered as a part of the price of the goods which can be introduced by the enterprises-manufacturers for the purpose of stimulation and interest of the enterprises-sellers to sell production. In the study of product sales, a problem was found related to sales of products in the area of the price discount offered by the price list, which represents the constant prices of the company for a certain period of time. The promotion price is defined as the discount on the products of the enterprise price according to the price list. It is determined that buyers, focusing on the system of discounts, avoid buying hardware in the approach to the transition of prices and increase the volume of purchases after the transition discount. A comparison of retail and base prices, and base and wholesale prices for hardware. It is proved that the company when approaching the price discount loses the profit that could be obtained, and this problem causes losses to both parties and the seller and buyer. It is shown that the policy of promoting price discounts of Metal-Holding encourages consumers to buy more hardware, which is not beneficial to the buyer, because it causes additional costs for storage of the balance. It is concluded that the problem at some weight interval when approaching the existing price discount on the left and right requires the establishment of a floating price discount on the company's products.

Although this distribution system has existed since the communist period, and even though more than three decades have passed since then, the market fails to be mature, subject to taxation, or achieve a high diversity in terms of dairy categories, with a consolidated marketing culture that has significant effects on the regional socio-economic environment.
