    Study Notes

    Pricing Process Overview

    • Pricing objectives can be sales-oriented, status quo, or profit-oriented, with specific goals such as profit maximization, satisfactory profits, or target return on investment.
    • Sales-oriented objectives may focus on market share or sales maximization, while status quo objectives involve maintaining existing prices and meeting competition prices with minimal planning.
    • Price changes through the product life cycle (PLC) involve high prices in the introduction stage, stable prices in maturity, and potential further price reductions or increases in decline.
    • The example of Tentree, a Canadian apparel company, illustrates a sales-oriented pricing objective focused on achieving profits while maintaining a value proposition.
    • Estimating demand, costs, and profits involves cost estimation, demand estimation, price sensitivity, elasticity of demand, and break-even analysis.
    • Break-even analysis helps determine the price point at which the firm can begin to make a profit on each unit sold.
    • Choosing a price strategy involves considering product positioning, costs, demand, and the PLC stage, with options such as price skimming, penetration pricing, or status quo pricing.
    • Price tactics include setting a base price and fine-tuning it using tactics such as discounts and allowances, value-based pricing, dynamic pricing, and geographic pricing.
    • Other pricing tactics include single price, flexible price, price lining, and loss leader strategies, each with specific applications and consumer behavior considerations.
