2. competitor-based pricing-
uses the price you set to appeal to customers and define your niche relative to your competitors. It doesn't
necessarily rely on setting a lower price than other available options, although this strategy will certainly make
your products appeal to customers who shop on the basis of price alone
3. market penetration
A market penetration pricing strategy is geared towards getting a foothold in a competitive market,
usually by offering a low initial price. If you start out by attracting customers on the basis of price, you
can get more people to try your products, and then start building a reputation and clientele that will allow
you to eventually charge more.
4. skimming.
strategy uses the opposite logic from one based on market penetration. Although market penetration
uses low prices to attract attention, skimming uses a reputation that has already been built to charge
high prices
