INTRODUCTION
For many year green Valley Dairies, Inc. was using a Coupon Plan to
promote its product, with the help of grocers. For this they applied the
technique of newspaper advertisement of cooperating grocers. This incentive
plan includes discount on nine categories of their products and this discount
cost will be covered by green valley themselves rather than the grocers.
They were sure that campaign would increase their sale, thereby overcoming
these costs. Management felt that the plan had been successful but they had
no hard facts. So, a research was conducted to evaluate the effects of
Coupon deals a dairy products sales. So a panel of 500 household were
selected. Each was requested to keep a diary of dairy products purchases and
sales figure were calculated before and after discount deals.

periods.

This plan was made to determine short run and long run effects of this
offer.
