Price: flexibility
• Changes in price are more readily
  implemented than the other 3P’s
• Product - major re-investment
• Place - find and convince new distributors
• Promotion - long time scales/involves
  outside agencies
Consumer Psychology
     and Pricing
    Reference Prices

  Price-quality inferences

         Price cues
Possible Consumer Reference
              Prices
• “Fair price”        •   Lower-bound price
• Last price paid     •   Competitor prices
• Upper-bound price   •   Expected future price
                      •   Usual discounted
                          price
The price…
Price Cues
•   “Left to right” pricing (Rs 299 vs. Rs 300)
•   Odd number discount perceptions
•   Even number value perceptions
•   Ending prices with 0 or 5
•   “Sale” written next to price
Steps in Setting Price
Select the price objective

      Determine demand

            Estimate costs

        Analyze competitor price mix

               Select pricing method

                     Select final price
Step 1: Selecting the Pricing
         Objective
                • Survival
                • Maximum current
                  profit
                • Maximum market
                  share
                • Maximum market
                  skimming - Nokia
                • Product-quality
                  leadership -
                  Bugatti
Step 2: Determining Demand

Price Sensitivity


  Estimating
Demand Curves
Inelastic
and Elastic Demand
Factors Leading to Less Price
               Sensitivity
•   The product is more distinctive
•   Buyers are less aware of substitutes
•   Buyers cannot easily compare the quality of substitutes
•   The expenditure is a smaller part of buyer’s total income
•   The expenditure is small compared to the total cost of
    the end product
•   Part of the cost is paid by another party
•   The product is used with previously purchased assets
•   The product is assumed to have high quality and
    prestige
•   Buyers cannot store the product
Step 3: Estimating Costs

               Types of Costs
               Accumulated
                Production
              Activity-Based
              Cost Accounting
               Target Costing
Cost Terms and Production
• Fixed costs / overheads
• Variable costs
• Total costs
• Average cost (total
  cost/production)
• Cost at different levels of
  production
• ABC
Cost per Unit as a Function of
  Accumulated Production
Selecting a Pricing Method
• Markup pricing
    – Unit cost= variable cost + fixed cost/unit sales
    – Markup price = unit cost/(1-desired return on
      sales)
• Target-return pricing
    = unit cost + (desired return x invested capital)/unit
      sales
•   Perceived-value pricing
•   Value pricing – EDLP, high-low pricing
•   Going-rate pricing
•   Auction-type pricing
Break-Even Chart




Break-even volume = fixed cost / (price – variable cost)
Auction-Type Pricing


            English auctions

             Dutch auctions

           Sealed-bid auctions
Step 6: Selecting the Final Price
• Impact of other
  marketing activities
• Company pricing
  policies
• Gain-and-risk sharing
  pricing
• Impact of price on
  other parties
Price-Adaptation Strategies
        Geographical Pricing

          Discounts/Allowances

             Promotional Pricing

              Differentiated Pricing
Price-Adaptation Strategies
Geographical            Discounts/ Allowances

                        • Allowance -return on
                          old items
Promotional Pricing Tactics
              • Loss-leader pricing
              • Special-event pricing
              • Cash rebates
              • Low-interest financing
              • Longer payment terms
              • Warranties and service
                contracts
              • Psychological
                discounting
Differentiated Pricing
