Abstract

This study investigates the (joint) impact of the shelf layout and the shelf communication on the brand switching intention to a private label brand and another national brand during a conflict delisting at a grocery-retailer. An online survey-experiment was conducted among 252 Dutch customers. The data was analyzed in SPSS using six multiple regression analyses. The results show that presenting another national brand, compared to presenting a private label brand as an alternative, did have a negative impact on the brand switching intention to a private label brand during a conflict delisting. Furthermore, no evidence was found to support the impact of adjusting the shelf layout and/or presenting the shelf communication on the brand switching intention to a private label brand and another national brand during a conflict delisting. Finally, this study presents recommendations for grocery-retailers and manufacturers on how to act during a conflict delisting. As this study was the first to investigate the (joint) impact of the shelf layout and the shelf communication on the brand switching intention during a conflict delisting, this study is a valuable contribution to the existing literature.
