Understanding Customer Segmentation for Pricing
- Individual customer value: Key to understanding customer segmentation for pricing is recognizing that individual customers value different features of products and services.
- Ability to pay: Customers' willingness to pay is influenced by their disposable income. Those with higher disposable income have a greater ability to pay, and vice versa.
- Prior experience: Customers with positive experiences with a product are more likely to pay a premium. Conversely, those with negative experiences are more likely to be reluctant to purchase.
- Subjective preferences: The perception of affordability can differ widely among customers. What one customer deems affordable, another may not.
- End-use applications: Pricing should vary based on the specific application or purpose for which each customer segment uses a product.
-
Cost to serve: Segmentation is essential for understanding variations in cost to serve, factors that influence this include:
- The timing of customer needs
- The speed of their payments
- The level of service and support they require
- Complexity of management: The extent of effective price segmentation is limited by the seller's ability to manage the complexity of serving multiple customer segments.
