Study Notes
Pricing
- Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service, representing the sum of values customers exchange for benefits
- Pricing strategies include cost-based and value-based approaches
- Cost-based pricing involves pricing based on costs of producing, distributing, and selling a product, plus a fair return on investment
- Cost-plus pricing (or markup pricing) adds a standard markup to product cost
- Break-even pricing (or target return pricing) sets prices to cover costs of making and marketing a product or achieve a desired return
- Value-based pricing uses buyer's perception of value, not seller's cost, to set price
- Good-value pricing combines quality and service at a fair price (EDLP - Everyday Low Pricing and High-Low Pricing)
- Value-added pricing adds features and services to differentiate and justify a higher price
Major Pricing Strategies
- Customer perceptions of value influence price ceiling and floor; no demand above the ceiling, no profits below the floor
- Internal and external factors including market analysis, competition, and objectives shape pricing strategies
- Product costs and competitive pricing strategies are key to pricing decisions
- Customer value perception is central to Good-Value pricing (EDLP or High-Low) as well as Value-Added pricing
Types of Costs
- Fixed costs (overhead costs) do not vary with production or sales levels (e.g., rent, salaries)
- Variable costs vary directly with production levels (e.g., raw materials)
Steps for Cost-Based Pricing
- Design a good product
- Determine product costs
- Set price based on cost
- Convince buyers of product's value
Steps for Value-Based Pricing
- Assess customer needs and value perceptions
- Set target price to match perceived value
- Determine allowable costs
- Design the product to meet desired value at target price
Considerations Affecting Price Decisions
- Overall marketing objectives and mix
- Organizational considerations, including other expenses
- Economic outlook, such as recessionary pressures
- Government regulations (price controls)
- Social concerns (e.g., rising prices during emergencies)
- Market factors (e.g., competitors, supply, demand)
Price Adjustments
- Discounts and allowances: Reducing prices to reward responses (e.g., early payment, promotional offers)
- Segmented pricing: Different prices for different customer segments, products, or locations
- Psychological pricing: Using price points that appeal to customers (e.g., $9.99 instead of $10.00)
- Promotional pricing: Temporary price reductions (e.g., special offers, sales)
- Geographic pricing: Adjusting based on customer location
- Dynamic pricing: Adjusting for individual customer characteristics and situations
- International pricing: Adjusting for international market conditions
Prohibited Pricing Strategies
- Price fixing: Competitors fixing prices together
- Predatory pricing: Selling below cost to harm a competitor
Pricing Across Channel Levels
- Price discrimination: Charging different prices to different customers at the same level of trade
- Price maintenance: Requiring dealers to charge a specific retail price
- Deceptive pricing: Misleading customers with pricing
Marketing Channels
- A set of interdependent organizations that help make a product or service available for use or consumption
- Channels add value through information, promotion, contacting, matching, negotiation, physical distribution, financing, and risk-taking
- Channel members (eg. Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Consumers)
- Value delivery network includes all the parties involved in a product's distribution process
Number of Channel Levels
- Direct (no intermediaries)
- Indirect (one or more intermediaries)
- Horizontal conflict (disagreements among firms at the same level in a channel)
- Vertical conflict (disagreements among different levels in a channel)
Types of Vertical Marketing Systems
- Corporate VMS: Integrates different stages of a product's production and distribution
- Contractual VMS: Companies use contracts to coordinate their activities
- Administered VMS: One company gains power and coordinates the channel
Disintermediation
- Removing intermediaries from a channel system
