Study Notes
Pricing Strategies
- Pricing is a crucial marketing mix tool, vital for capturing customer value.
- Effective pricing requires understanding customer perceptions of value, company costs, and competitor strategies.
- External and internal factors influence pricing decisions.
Peloton Example
- Peloton in-home exercise bikes are priced significantly higher than comparable bikes.
- Peloton offers a subscription service and live-streamed classes, increasing the perceived value.
- Pricing is not simply about the product cost, but about the lifestyle and community offered.
- Peloton's sales boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Value Based Pricing
- Value-based pricing focuses on customer perception of value rather than seller costs.
- It's the most logical and profitable pricing method.
- Companies first assess customer needs and value perceptions, then set the target price.
- The ideal price matches perceived value.
Cost-Based Pricing
- Cost-based pricing adds a standard markup to the product's cost.
- It's a simpler method for setting prices, though relying on estimating costs.
- Issues can arise from ignoring demand and competitors and overlooking customer value.
Competition-Based Pricing
- Competition-based pricing considers competitors' strategies and prices.
- Companies gauge delivered value and adjust accordingly.
- Value added factors and features can influence pricing and competitiveness.
Key Considerations for Pricing
- Costs drive the lower limit for prices, while customer perceptions of value drive the upper limit.
- Understand price-demand relationships, particularly in different market structures (e.g., pure competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, monopoly).
- Price elasticity shows responsiveness of demand to price change.
- Economic conditions (e.g., inflation, recession) impact pricing strategies and consumer perceptions of value.
- Organizational considerations (who sets prices) and external influences (e.g., government regulations) impact pricing strategies.
