This research addresses the optimal design of a series of promotions, which especially approach non-costumers and occasional customers of organic products. This study is based on a quantitative empirical method which allows comparing sales promotion effectiveness in food retailing and natural food retailing. Besides that, this report provides producers as well as retailers an appropriate performance rating of their organic product sales promotion.
