Consumer Preferences for Sales Promotion in the Food Market

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to discover the preferences of Polish consumers in relation to activities in the field of sales promotions in the food market as well as assessment of changes in this area. The research was conducted in 2014, using survey methods on a sample of 278 respondents aged 15 and older. The frequency of use and preferences for certain forms of sales promotion and the opinions of the respondents on promotional activities were analysed. It was found that the most commonly used and most preferred by respondents were periodic price reductions, as well as discounts for larger purchases, tastings and demonstrations, and free samples. The behaviour of respondents with regard to activities in the field of sales was influenced by gender, age, place of residence, education, and income. Activities in the area of sales promotion were the most frequently used and most preferred in relation to stimulants, drinks, sweets, as well as cereals and fat products, and the least popular in case of eggs, sugar, meat, and fish. Compared with previous studies, there were no significant differences in relation to the preferred forms of promotion and product groups, for which they are most accepted. However, some changes were recorded in the economic and sociodemographic determinants of consumer behaviour in the tested range.
