  The Negative Appeal of Multi-Period Incentive Programs

  Abstract

  Economic theory predicts that an improvement in the financial benefit of a promotional offer should increase the appeal of the offer. Six studies show this is not the case. When a two-period promotional offer includes a second-period incentive that is perceived as restrictive, the negative impact of this restriction can negate the benefits of the second period incentive and make the two-period promotional offer less appealing than a single-period promotional offer. The negative effects of restrictions are more likely to be observed among existing customers and when the second-period promotion is small relative to the first period promotion. The implication is that short-term incentive programs designed to facilitate more frequent shopping may backfire in certain situations.
