Abstract: Studies on the relationship between brand equity and long-term promotional effectiveness have many issues. Brand equity measures can be classified as either consumer-based (CB) or firm-based (FB) measures. Previous literature has mostly focused on one or the other type of measure, mostly due to computational difficulties or data limitations, making it difficult to determine whether the results can be generalized to all types of measure. In addition, long-term promotional effectiveness remains a debatable issue due to complicated long-term effects. Our study is the first to include both CB and FB brand equity measures in a long-term promotional effectiveness study. Using weekly scanner data in the breakfast category covering a three-year period, we are able to compute a variety of popular operationalizations of brand equity measures by employing the aggregate demand model and capture total long-term effects via the persistence model. Our major finding is that the general consensus that higher brand equity generates higher promotional effectiveness applies only to typical FB measures—not CB measures. Moreover, we show a positive accumulated long-term effectiveness and an absence of permanent effects for all our brands. These results offer new insights into the differentiation of major brand equity measures and long-term promotional effectiveness.
