A Model of Marketing Mix, Brand Switching, and Competition

The authors develop a model of brand switching which incorporates marketing mix variables, product features, and their interactions to examine patterns of brand competition. Two forms of the model are presented and least squares estimation procedures suggested. Implications of the models’ parameters for analyzing the structure of markets and patterns of brand competition are discussed. The models are illustrated with an application using scanner panel data.
