Our fundamental premise is that the analysis of intermediate attitude performance metrics allows us to explain and quantify the observed differences in marketing effectiveness across brands and over time. Our research contributes to the marketing literature in three ways. First, our research provides an empirically testable framework on the conditions under which consumer attitude movements result in sales movements. Traditionally, marketing mix models almost exclusively focus on the response of sales to marketing expenditures in order to derive normative implications for marketing budget setting.
