Work
In 1997, with Anne Sharp, he reported the first empirical work seeking to document the effect of a loyalty program on buyer loyalty
The research found a tendency across the product categories studied for loyalty programs to produce a small amount of excess loyalty. This weak effect was later replicated.
In 2009 he co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Advertising Research with Professor Jerry Wind on empirical laws in advertising.
