Price Matching: Businesses agree to match competitors' prices for identical products/services. Highly prevalent in non-branded retail environments. It fosters loyalty and emphasizes price transparency. 86% of customers prioritize price comparison.

Prices are raised once a firm customer base is established. Needs thorough understanding of competitor costs to achieve profitability.
-
Premium Pricing: Setting prices higher than competitors based on perceived superior quality, exclusivity, or scarcity. Brands often emphasize niche products and high-end elements for this strategy to attract demanding customers.
-
Economy Pricing: Keeping prices low through minimizing overhead and marketing expenses. Often used for basic, generic products. Key is rigorous cost control and efficient operations to maintain low prices.
-
Bundle Pricing: Offering multiple products/services together at a lower price than buying them individually. Encourages customers to purchase multiple items for increased profit.
-
Dynamic Pricing: Adapting prices based on real-time market demand, competitors' pricing, and external factors. Commonly seen in industries like airlines and hotels with frequently fluctuating demand and supply. Critical to effectively utilize data, algorithms, and real time competitor data to excel.
