Advertising sunk costs and credible spatial preemption
Article Abstract:
Large sunk investments in advertising have been utilized by some companies to prevent potential competitors from entering their market. The investments have enabled managers to launch new products just before expected market growth increases. The effectiveness of such preemptive actions lies in the capability of the advertising in providing brand recognition and loyalty. When the advertising has succeeded in providing a company with a following, a company's product introduction or product line expansion activity benefits from the reduced cost of having to influence consumers. With a brand's following, competitors may have to spend more on advertising to gain customer attention and market share.

A double-hurdle approach to advertising: the case of cheese
Article Abstract:
The effect of advertisement on consumer cheese-purchasing behavior is investigated using a double-hurdle model. This approach analyzes the demand for the product on two levels. One is the effectiveness of the advertisement to encourage new buyers in purchasing the product and the other is the efficacy of the advertisement in inducing buyers to purchase more. Evaluation of the effect of cheese advertisement on consumer behavior indicates that promoting the product encourages new buyers but does not cause an increase in consumption among the regular purchasers.
