Abstract: This Working Paper addresses whether RDS is capable of having a
measurable impact upon consumer shopping behavior to substantiate its inclusion in
the marketing mix. This is significant for the following reasons: 1. Measurement of
the results from marketing spending have generally failed to keep pace with
technology and, 2. because consumer purchase decisions are, to a significant extent,
made in-store.
