The results show that concentrated media use was more effective in improving copromotion efficiency than extensive media use was in retail sales. In short-term media scheduling, pulsing scheduling led to higher copromotion efficiency than did continuous scheduling. Two-way interaction effects between the number of media uses and scheduling on copromotion efficiency were found also. The positive effect of concentrated media use was stronger for pulsing scheduling than for continuous scheduling. Finally, long-term, multiyear scheduling contributed to copromotion-efficiency improvement.
