Abstract
We investigate an online retailer’s optimal strategies for her promotion of the garments that are classified based on their price levels and life cycle stages. In general, the promotion with discount is optimal for the garments at the introduction and decline stages, whereas that with a coupon is optimal for the garments at the maturity stage. The most profitable garments are the high-priced garments at the introduction stage; but, the best sales garments are the low-priced garments at the maturity stage. We also test the influence on promotion effect of other factors such as seasonality, holiday, and time limit.
