Pricing Strategies
Chapter 7
Origins of Pricing
Lesson 1
“Price should never be just about cost plus markup. It should also be a tool for communication
and strategy.”
Suggested Retail Price (SRP)

• It denotes the price that a consumer product is expected.
Emerge of the Suggested Retail Price
• Two elements in particular seriously altered merchandisers’ approach to pricing.
• Mass Production – which led to wider access to cheap goods that are sold in bulk.
• Transportation – the emerge of long range mechanical transportation systems would
provide merchants with access to a far wider variety of goods than was ever before
possible.
Pricing a New Product

• Market skimming – involves setting the price high in order to milk the segments with
higher disposable incomes, with the price gradually being reduced over time to milk the
next income tiers.
• Market penetration – involves setting the price even lower than planned, if only to
attract as much of the market into trying it and hopefully becoming loyal to it.
Psychological Pricing
• Much of pricing’s communication, particularly with regard to referencing other
products’ prices, is inherently psychological in nature.
• Odd-number pricing – Prices that end in non-rounded odd numbers, such as 9.95 or
99.50, are said to give the consumers the perception that the prices are not as
expensive as they actually are.
• Free pricing – Selling of two (2) complementary products.
Discriminatory Pricing
• Market segmentation is a way of life.
• Market segmentation often translates to opportunities for discriminatory pricing –
offering different prices to different market segments.
• Customer-segment pricing – this takes advantage of the likelihood that the upscale
market takes the higher price for granted while the broader market expects a more
mainstream price point.
• Product-form pricing – the price in here are not commensurate with the far greater
margins.
• Image pricing – Upscale products practically demand higher prices, otherwise their
credibility may be ruined.
• Location pricing – This is a form of discrimination that is based on the physical location
of the buyers.
• Time pricing – this is a form of discrimination – what is the difference between selling
the stocks anytime in the day.
Product Mix Pricing

• Product line pricing – The flagship product in the line, for instance, will likely have a
popular price point as it seeks to attract a wide audience. The premium product gets a
premium price while a populist offering have a low price point.
• Optional feature pricing – It is difficult to sell complete packages to consumers. It may
be easier to sell them a basic stripped-down model first, then everything else becoming
optional add-ons.
• Captive product pricing – They end up having the customer as a captive market for the
consumables on which they really make their money.
• By-product pricing – In case the production of your product generates by-products and
you manage to find a way to make money out of these by-products, then this becomes
an opportunity for realigning the price of your primary product.
• Product bundle pricing – Bundling the slower moving products together with star
performers can be a strategic option.
