Percepção de valor, atratividade e intenção de compra: revisitando as técnicas de promoção de vendas

RESUMO

Objetivo:

O presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar os efeitos moderadores do tipo de promoção de vendas nas relações entre valor percebido, atratividade e intenção de compra.

Método:

Realizou-se um experimento com 1.161 respondentes. Foram analisadas as relações diretas entre valor percebido (utilitário e hedônico) na formação da atratividade da promoção, assim como a relação da atratividade com a intenção de compra de um produto em promoção. Por fim, foram verificados os efeitos moderadores do tipo de promoção nas relações do modelo.

Fundamentação teórica:

Existem dois tipos de promoção de vendas: monetárias e não monetárias. Acadêmicos e profissionais de marketing mencionam que os tipos de promoções têm propósitos e consequências diferentes. As monetárias são mais focadas no curto prazo (fortalecem as políticas de desconto), já as não monetárias, no longo prazo (fortalecem a marca).

Resultados:

Detectou-se que a promoção de vendas monetária impacta com mais força a intenção de compra do consumidor. Notou-se um efeito moderador significativo entre o tipo de promoção de vendas e as relações hipotetizadas.

Contribuições:

O estudo contribuiu para preencher lacunas identificadas na literatura como a investigação de fatores moderadores que podem potencializar ou minimizar o impacto da promoção de vendas no comportamento do consumidor, a investigação de ações de marketing que podem se relacionar positivamente com a percepção hedônica e utilitária de um produto, além da análise sobre possíveis elementos que podem alterar uma percepção de atratividade sobre uma campanha promocional.

Palavras-chave:
Promoção de venda; Tipo de promoção; Valor percebido; Atratividade; Intenção de compra

ABSTRACT

Objective:

This paper aims to assess the moderating effects of the type of sales promotion on the relationship between perceived value, attractiveness and purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach:

An experiment was carried out with 1161 respondents. We examined the direct relationship of perceived value (utility and hedonic) with the formation of promotion attractiveness. We then analyzed the relationship between attractiveness and the intention of buying a product on sale. Finally, we observed the moderating effects of the type of promotion on the model relationships.

Findings:

We found that sales promotions impact consumer purchase intent. There was a significant moderating effect between the type of sales promotion and the hypothesized relationships.

Practical implications:

The study helped to fill gaps identified in literature with the investigation of moderating factors that may maximize or minimize sales promotions impact on consumer behavior. In addition, this study also researched marketing actions that can be positively related to the hedonic and utilitarian perception of a product. Moreover, this study also analyzed possible elements that may alter the perception of attractiveness of a promotional campaign.

Originality/value:

In the managerial context, the study aimed to contribute with new subsidies to managers, in order to optimize their promotional campaigns planning and execution, since decisions still tend to be made based on manager intuition instead of on scientific aspects.

Keywords:
Sales promotion; Type of promotion; Perceived value; Attractiveness; Purchase intention
