IKEA Australia is currently making significant price cuts of up to 20% on over 700 popular items. How are they doing this and making more money and keeping customers happy at the same time?  Here's how: 1. Despite rising operational costs, IKEA is committed to absorbing these expenses rather than passing them on to customers whenever possible. 2. IKEA has highlighted its focus on putting affordability and customer satisfaction at the forefront of its business strategy. (https://lnkd.in/ghV35cSu) 3. IKEA extends its affordability initiatives through discounts for loyalty program members and introduces Happy Days Deals. 4. IKEA are likely keeping highly visible products competitively priced while optimising the rest of their range. IKEA's price drop strategy covers a wide array of products including furniture, lighting, textiles, and storage solutions. While affordability is a key aspect of this pricing strategy, there are lots of moving parts behind it which in turn ensure it is both profitable for them and good value for their customers.

IKEA's design-to-price strategy forms a fundamental aspect of their vision and culture, prioritizing customer needs while intentionally presenting challenges to their designers. Moreover, from my work the philosophy has been effective in B2B context with OEM engineer teams. Designing to a price as a KPI in product development prevents overengineering, reduces effort spent on items that do not drive value/price and improves ROI.
