Abstract

In a series of studies, we document an advantage in sales volume for a bonus pack relative to an economically equivalent price discount. We provide evidence that consumers’ preferences for quantity changes (including bonus packs and quantity decreases) are due to their tendency toward neglecting the base value of percentages.
