The purpose of this study is to provide a general
understanding on consumer hypermarket shopping behaviour

price-off, premium, patronage reward, and contest and sweepstake on consumers’ purchase intentions. The data base comprising a total of 285 hypermarket consumers in Kuching, Sarawak were surveyed using structured questionnaire. The results show that price-off is the most favoured
sales promotion tool but it does not have any effect on consumes’ purchase intentions.Cash refund offer, coupon, premium, and contest and sweepstake are associated with consumers’ purchase intentions. Details of the findings and the implications are discussed. |
