讲座内容:It is quite common that a coupon can be applied to one of several vertically differentiated products sold at different prices within the same product line of a brand. With such a product-line coupon, consumers need to decide what specific product to buy, resulting in different levels of consumer spending. One field dataset and four lab experiments demonstrate that the relationship between coupon face value and consumer spending level may not always be intuitively positive, and instead it could take an inverted U-shape under certain circumstances. The authors develop a threshold-based model to explain the inverted U-shaped effect of coupon face value on consumer spending level and show that the inverted U-shaped effect occurs when the price level of products is high, when consumers have a strong saving orientation, when they experience low information load from processing a small number of products, when they are inclined to engage in thorough product comparison, or when they have a weak pre-existing preference for a specific level of product benefit.
