Even making an extra left turn to go to another gas station people prefer not to do that. If there are more alternatives such as in the case of Bud Light consumers may be willing to hold back their dollars longer. Bud Light is a mainstream staple beer and theres a lot of equalquality beers sitting right next to it in the refrigerator of any grocery store. So its very substitutable says Brayden King a professor at Northwestern Universitys Kellogg School of Management US. The nature of beer specifically he says makes it an easier product to boycott for an audience highly motivated to switch over. Indeed Bud Light lost the spot at the USs topsell Mobile App Development Service ing beer in June Consumers may also hold onto their boycotts a little longer if the product is wrapped up in their social identities. Schweitzer compares Bud Light to Target at a bar the people around you will notice you choosing to drink Bud Light instead of another brand yet fourth graders arent saying hey where did you get your pencils. Boycott backfire Although the outraged groups are usually the loudest theyre often not the biggest. Even if boycott movements cut into corporate profits in the short term as opponents mobilise Schweitzer says the slice of consumers who choose to boycott and sustain doing so usually isnt big enough to move the dial longterm boycotts can even boost sales for small periods.
