Well explore the importance of price, pricing strategies, pricing policies and pricing decisions. Price: the value of money (or its equivalent) placed on a good or service. Usually expressed in monetary terms (an example of non-monetary is bartering.) The key to pricing is understanding the value that buyers place on a product. Goals of pricing: Gaining market share: When a business is trying to take business away from its competition, it is trying to increase its market share. Market share is a percentage of the total sales volume generated by all competitors in a given market. Return on investment: Is a calculation that is used to determine the relative profitability of a product. A company may price its products to achieve a certain return on investment. Formula is: Profit divided by Investment Assume your company sells trash cans for $8 each. Your cost to make and market the trash cans is $6.50 per unit. Profit is money earned by a business minus costs and expenses. $8 - $6.50 = $1.50 / $6.50 = .23 This means that your rate of return on investment is 23 percent. Meeting the competition: Some companies price their products to meet the prices of their competition. (Automobiles and soft drinks are examples. Competing products in both of these categories tend to be very similar and therefore priced closely to one another.) Question: How does one compete when there is no price competition? Answer: You compete on the basis of other factors in the marketing mix. Factors affecting your pricing strategy include: Supply and demand Brand loyalty, price of products relative to income, availability of substitutes, luxury vs. necessity, urgency of purchase Your costs and expenses The series of businesses involved in selling or distributing your product Competition Price wars in certain sectors airlines, gasoline, computers, etc. Pricing Strategies Cost-based pricing: Set prices based on costs $6.50 cost of trash cans. If desire 10% profit then mark-up 10% from cost If desire 23% profit then mark-up 23% from cost Demand-based pricing: Marketers attempt to determine what consumers are willing to pay for given goods and services. Importance of a consumers perceived value of an item Effective when there are few substitutes and consumer is willing to pay higher prices because they believe an item is different from that offered by competition. Companies try to achieve this status by developing brand loyalty. Example: Red Sox tickets. Different prices based on location of seats. All will see same performance but from different vantage points. Example: consumer demand for fashionable colors (i.e. refrigerators) as opposed to the cost of producing the refrigerators. Competition-based pricing: Set prices based on what the competitors charge. No relationship between cost and price. No relationship between demand and price. Elect to take one of three actions using this pricing method: Price above the competition Price below the competition Price in-line with the competition You could also use a combination of these strategies: Many marketers use all three pricing strategies to determine prices. Cost-based pricing helps marketers determine the price floor for a product the lowest price for which it can be offered to still make a profit. Demand-based pricing determines a price range that is defined by the price floor and price ceiling (the highest amount consumers would pay). Competition-based pricing may be used to assure the final price is in line with the competition. Combining pricing considerations offers a good range within which a company can establish its selling price. And if a company decides to go with the competition-based strategy, they still know how much they can lower their prices if necessary based on the cost-based pricing figures. Pricing Policies One-price policy all customers are charged the same price for the same type or amount of merchandise. Flexible-price policy customers pay different prices for the same type or amount of merchandise. Four stages to the Product Life Cycle: Introduction > Growth > Maturity > Decline Pricing plays an important role in this sequence of events. Skimming pricing: a pricing policy that sets a very high price for a new product. Penetration pricing: Opposite of skimming. The initial price for a new product is set very low. Psychological Pricing: Techniques that create an illusion for customers or that make shopping easier for them. Odd/even pricing: use odd pricing (i.e. $19.99 to suggest bargains). The psychological principle is based on odd numbers conveying a bargain image, while even numbers ($10, $50, $100) conveying a quality image. Prestige pricing: set higher than average prices to suggest exclusiveness, status, and prestige. Many consumers assume that higher prices mean higher quality and are willing to pay more for certain goods and services. Multi-unit pricing: Suggest a bargain and helps to increase sales. Some businesses have found that pricing items in multiples, such as 3 for $.99 is better than selling the same items at $.33 each. Bundle pricing: Including several products in a package that is sold at a single price. All inclusive travel vacations (airfare, hotel, meals) Software that is included when you purchase a new computer Promotional pricing: Used in conjunction with sales promotions when prices are lower than average. Examples: Back to school sales, Presidents Day sales, clearance sales, etc. Other promotional techniques may involve rebates, coupons, and special discounts. Discount pricing: involves the sellers offering reductions from the usual price based on the buyers performance of certain functions. Paying cash (Encourage consumers to pay their bills quickly or to not encourage use of credit cards) Buying in large quantities. Sellers benefit from large orders through the lower selling costs involved in one transaction as opposed to several small transactions. Quantity discounts also offer buyers an incentive to purchase more merchandise than they originally intended to purchase. Seasonal discounts (willing to buy at a time outside the customary buying season) The Six Steps for Determining Price Determine pricing objectives Study costs Estimate demand Study competition Decide on a pricing strategy Set price     Price - Student Marketing Handout - Page  PAGE 1 : " # / j k HZûxxnxnxf\h: h>*\h: h\h+?h+?>*\h+?5>*\h: hfm}>*\hr7hm9>*\hm95>*\hfm}5>*\hr7hfm}>*\hr7h: \ hfm}\hr7hfm}\h3y5>*\h3yh$>*\h3yh3y>*\hr75>*\hr7h$\h5>*\h$5>*\"99 : # k l   HZ & Fgdi>s & Fgdi>s & FZ8CDEFiG[|}J,-.?  02ۺɪɪۢۚے咊~vnfh5>*\h[|h=[\h5>*\h=[5>*\h=[h-5>*\he5>*\hm[65>*\h+f5>*\h'O5>*\h: 5>*\ h: >*\hh rSh~5>*\h: h~>*\h: h>*\h5>*\h: hi>s>*\hi>s5>*\(8EGb}-.gd 7 & Fgde & Fgdm[6 & Fgd+f & Fgd~ & F & Fgd~ & F & Fgdi>s.?  ]_OPl2 & FgdKf & Fgd?g & FgdEygdEygd 7 & Fgd=[gd=[2=^Pgl~2@\ y  yqyih"t5>*\h"th"t\h"thKf\hKf5>*\h: hKf>*\h?g5>*\h: h?g>*\hEy5>*\h: hEy>*\hEyhEy5>* hEy5>*hEyhh>*\ h>*\hh=[>*\h: 5>*\h5>*\h=[5>*\& [ \ 3!4!5!6!$a$gdkgd 7 & Fgd"tgdKf & FgdKf & FgdKf ! !!!(!)!/!0!1!2!3!4!6!7!8!²π|hhphhpOJQJ^J$h5N0J5OJQJ^JmHnHu(jhkhhp0J5OJQJU^Jhkhhp0J5OJQJ^Jhhp0J5OJQJ^Jhkhhp5OJQJ^Jhhp5OJQJ^JhojhoUh 7h=[5>*\6!7!8!gd 721h:p: / =!"#$% ^ 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA`D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List BJ@B Subtitle5>*OJQJ\^J4@4 Header  !4 4 Footer  !.)@!.
