PRICING OF
SERVICE
BY
CL ASWIN RAHUL
M.Com ( IB &F,)
INTRODUCTION
SERVICE
Service is the action of doing something for someone or something. It is
largelyintangible i.e. not material). A product is tangible (i.e. material)
since you can touch it and own it. A service tends to be an experience that
is consumed at the point where it is purchased, and cannot be owned since
is quickly perishes. A person could go to a café one day and have excellent
service, and then return the next day and have a poor experience.
DEFINITION
“Activities, benefits and satisfactions, which are offered for sale or are provided in
connection with the sale of goods” (American Marketing Association, Committee of
Definitions 1960).
“Services include all economic activities whose output is not a physical product or
construction, is generally consumed at the time it is produced, and provides added
value in forms (such as convenience, amusement, timeliness, comfort or health) that
are essentially intangible concerns of its first purchaser” (Quinn, Baruch and Paquette,
1987).
PRICING OF SERVICE
• Pricing decisions are of major importance in service marketing strategy
• As with other marketing mix elements, the price of a service should be related to the
achievement of marketing and organisational goals.
• Service pricing principles and practices tend to be based on principles and practices used in
pricing goods.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVICES AND THEIR
INFLUENCE UPON SERVICE PRICES
The characteristics of services as with all Products will influence prices set in markets. The
influence of these characteristics will vary according to the type of service and market
situation under consideration.Some impacts of these services characteristics include these
five categories:
1. Service perishability:
The fact that service may be difficult (though notimpossible) to be stored and that
fluctuations in demand cannot be met as easily through using inventory, has price
implications. Special price offers and pricereductions to use up spare capacity may be used
and marginal pricing may be more commonplace. This may happen in markets like airline
travel and package holidays
CONT…
2. Customers may be able to delay or postpone the performance or use of
many services:
Alternatively they may be able to perform certain services for themselves.
These features can lead to keener competition amongst the sellers of service.
3. Apparent Intangibility has many price implicaions:
Service product intangibility also means that services provided may be more
easily varied than physical products. Thus service level, service quality and
service quantity can be adjusted to meet particular customer requirements.
Prices may ultimately be determined by negotiation betweenbuyer and seller.
CONT…
4. The inseparability of service from the person providing it may place
geographic limits or time limits on markets that can be served:
Equally buyers of services may search for service provision within certain
geographic or time zones. The degree of competition operating within these
limits will influence prices charged.
5. Where service products are fairly homogeneous (e.g. car washes, dry
cleaners) then pricing may be highly competitive -
PRICING AND MARKETING STRATEGY
The price of the service product will also relate to its life cycle. For example in
introducing a new service an organisation could opt to set low prices to
penetrate markets and gain rapid market share. Alternatively an organisation
could opt to charge high prices to make as much profit as possible in a short
time (skimming policy). This strategy is only possible if there is no immediate
competition and a high level of buyer need urgency (e.g. windscreen
replacement services)
CONT…
The Competitive Situation:
The strength of competition in the market influences a service organisation’s
direction over its prices. In situations where there is little differentiation
between service products and where competition is intense (e.g. a seaside resort
during a poor tourist season) then price discretion is limited
CONT…
The Strategic Role of Price:
Pricing policies have a strategic role aimed at achieving organisational
objectives. Thus the pricing decision on any particular service product should
fit in with strategic objectives. For example, a new holiday company intent
upon establishing itself in the package holiday market might use a deliberate
policy of low prices to obtain substantial market share although this could
mean unprofitable trading for some time.
METHODS OF PRICING SERVICES
1. Cost-Based Pricing:
(a) Profit orientated – Aiming at a minimum profit target. Prices fixed by
professional and trade associations belong to this category. If entry is
srestricted, prices will be related more to the customer’s ability and willingness
to pay and less to costs.
(b) Government-controlled prices – aiming at consumer protection by fixing
prices on a cost-plus-a-modest-margin basis.everely
CONT…
2. Market oriented pricing:
(a) Competitive – either accepting the going rate or maintaining or increasing
market share by an aggressive pricing policy.
(b) Customer oriented – prices set with regard to consumers’ attitudes and
behaviour. Quality and costs of services may be varied to remain in harmony
with prices.
PRICE TACTICS
Many of the tactical price techniques used to sell tangibles can be used to sell intangibles. In
both cases the particular tactics used are dependent upon the kind of service involved, the target
market and general conditions prevailing in that marketplace at the time (e.g. supply shortages
therefore possible over-demand for service products). Some of the frequently used pricing
tactics in services markets are now considered. They are:
1. Discrete pricing
2. Discount pricing
3. Guarantee pricing etc….
CONT …
Discrete Pricing:
Setting a price which will attract a particular customer type or segment.
Discount pricing:
refers to a range of strategies where the price of a product or service is
decreased in the interest of generating interest, unloading excess inventory, or
boosting sales
CONT…
Guarantee pricing:
An arrangement in which if a company reduces the price of a product or
service in the future, it promises to pay back the difference to customers who
have paid a higher price.
