    • 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.
