The objective of "defensive switching' is to :

  • A.Retain the customer by encouraging him/her to buy the same brand as was bought on earlier occasion instead of switching to a different brand on this purchase occasion.
  • B.Encourage store switching.
  • C.Encourage consumers to buy a different brand than the one that they bought on earlier purchase occasion or had the intention of buying now.
  • D.Encourage the customers to buy high margin products.

Answer: A

The objective is to retain the customer, encouraging him or her to buy the same brand as before instead of switching.

In sales promotion, offensive switching aims to pull customers away from rival brands, while defensive switching aims to protect the brand's existing buyers: promotions such as loyalty offers and pack bonuses are timed to stop current users being tempted away by competitors' deals.

Getting consumers to buy a different brand from last time (option C) describes offensive switching. Store switching and pushing high-margin products are different promotional goals.
