Lesson
The Price
2

After product, pricing plays a key role in the marketing mix.


The reason for this importance is that where the rest of the
elements of the marketing mix are cost generators, price is
a source of income and profits. Through pricing, the
organization manages to support the cost of production, the
cost of distribution, and the cost of promotion.

Price is the value measured


in money term in the part
of the transaction between
two parties where the
buyer has to give
something up (the price) to
gain something offered by
the other party or the
seller.

Pricing the product or service is one of the most important business decisions you

will make.

You must offer your products for a price your target market is willing to pay – and

one that produces a profit for your company – or you won’t be in business for long.

S
ETTING THE PRICE – Let us now attempt to understand the process of how
firms set prices. When does a firm set prices? A firm must set a price for the
first time when it develops a new product, when it introduces its regular
product into a new distribution channel or geographical area, and when it enter bids
on new contract work. Is setting prices easy? It involves making a number of guesses
about the future. You would want to know how an organization proceed? It follows:

1. Identify the target market segment for the product or service, and decide what
share of it is desired and how quickly.
2. Establish the price range that would be acceptable to occupants of this
segment. If this looks unpromising, it is still possible that consumers might
be educated to accept higher price levels, though this may take time.
3. Examine the prices (and costs if possible) of potential or actual competitors.
4. Examine the range of possible prices within different combinations of the
marketing mix (e.g. different levels of product quality or distribution methods).
5. Determine whether the product can be sold profitably at each price based upon
anticipated sales levels (i.e. by calculating break-even point) and if so, whether
these profits will meet strategic objectives for profitability.
6. If only a modest profit is expected it may be below the threshold figure
demanded by an organization for all its activities. In these circumstances, it
may be necessary to modify product specifications downwards until costs are
reduced sufficiently to produce the desired profit.

An organization goes through the following steps in setting its pricing policy.

What is It

P
rice is the amount
of money that your
customers have to
pay in exchange for your
product or service.
Determining the right price
for your product can be a bit tricky.

A common strategy for beginning small businesses is creating a bargain pricing


impression by pricing their product lower than their competitors. Although this may
boost initial sales, low price usually equates to low quality and this may not be what
customers to see in your product.

Your pricing strategy should reflect your product’s positioning in the market and
the resulting price should cover the cost per item and the profit margin. The amount
should not project your business as timid or greedy.
Low pricing hinders your business’ growth while high pricing kicks you out of the
competition.

There are a number of pricing strategies that you can follow. Some strategies may
call for complex computation methods and others are intuitive decisions. Select
a pricing strategy that’s based on the product itself, competitive environment,
customer demand, and other products that you offer.

1/28/23, 5:06 PM Marketing-q2-mod2-the-price compress price

Penetration Pricing

A low price is set by the company to build up sales and market share. This
may be done to establish position in a market with preexisting similar products on
offer. Once a position is created, the prices may be raised. A satellite channel provider
may offer an introductory price and then increase as business grows.

Skimming Pricing

Here, the initial price is set high and may slowly be brought down. This will
allow the company to introduce the product step by step to different layers of the
market. Electronic and tech gadgets often start at a very high price which is
subsequently lowered with the lowest point reached right before a new model is
launched.

Competition Pricing

When trying to go head to head with competitors offering similar benefits, a


company may decide to:

about:blank 16/25
1/28/23, 5:06 PM Marketing-q2-mod2-the-price compress price

a. price higher to create a higher quality perception or to target a niche market


b. price the same to show more benefits for the same price
c. price lower to try to gain a wider customer base

Product Line Pricing

Here, different products in the same range may be set at different prices.
Television sets are priced differently depending on whether they are HD or not,
whether they have wifi features of not and whether they are 3D or not.

Bundle Pricing

A group of products may be bundled together and sold at a reduced price.


Supermarkets often use this method through their ‘buy one get one free’ offers.

Psychological Pricing

Often a company will make small changes to prices to make a customer think
the item is priced lower than it is. This is often seen in prices ending in 99. For
example, an item market 199 will be perceived as closer in price to 100 than 200.

Premium Pricing

A high price is set to establish an exclusive product of high quality. Designer


cars and premium brand stores are a good example of this type of pricing.

Optional Pricing

A company may add optional extra items within the price to increase a
product’s attractiveness. For example, car sellers may offer car insurance for the first
year.

Cost Based Pricing

Simply, a company may determine the exact cost of producing and selling an
objective, add a markup that may be desirable for profits and price accordingly. This
method may be used in a changing industry where even costs of production are
unpredictable.

A percentage is added to the costs as a profit margin to determine final price.
