  5. Cost Based Strategies • Cost plus • Break-even • Target return • Floor Pricing • Penetration Pricing • Low-Cost Leader Pricing • Competitive Bid Pricing • Harvest Pricing

  6. Competitor-based market structure price leadership

  7. Demand-basedStrategies - demand backward - marginal cost = marginal revenue   % Δ Quantity elasticity = ----------------- % Δ Price

  8. Elasticity Estimation: - test marketing - consumer surveys - awareness - market structure • product importance • conjoint analysis

  9. Ease of Customer Switching Product Differentiation Cost of Switching Suppliers Customer Loyalty Ease of Switching Index Forces that Shape Price Elasticity • Supply/Demand Conditions • Supply Conditions • Demand Conditions • Substitutes • Supply/Demand Index

  10. Price Elasticity and Performance

  11. Market-Based Pricing Strategies • Skim Pricing • Value-in-Use Pricing • Market-Based Value Pricing • Segment Pricing • Strategic Account Pricing • Most favored customer

  12. Pricing Strategies and the Product Life Cycle

  13. Price-Quantity Discounts QuantityPrice 1 - 19 5,795 20 - 49 5,095 50 - 99 4,095  price for 18 units = $ 104,310  price for 20 units = $ 101,900 price for 45 units = $ 229,275  price for 50 units = $ 204,750

  14. Break-even Analysis • Determines the number of units that need to be sold in order to break even Breakeven volume is the volume needed to cover fixed expenses on the basis of a particular margin per unit • Break-even Volume = Fixed Expenses/ Margin per Unit

  15. List Price Less: Discounts Quantity Seasonal Cash Less: Allowances Trade-ins Damaged goods Product: Physical Service Assurance of quality Repair facilities Packaging Credit Premiums Place / availability Price to a consumer Price equals Something

  16. List Price Less: Discounts Quantity Seasonal Cash Trade /functional Less: Allowances Advertising Push money Damaged goods Product: Branded Guaranteed Warranted Repair facilities Convenient Packaging Place availability Margin (Price) Promotion Aimed at consumers Price in the Channel Price equals Something

  17. Channel pricing Manufacturer Cost = $ 21.60 = 90% Markup = $ 2.40 = 10% Selling Price = $24.00 = 100%

  18. Channel pricing Wholesaler Cost = $ 24.00 = 80% Markup = $ 6.00 = 20% Selling Price = $30.00 = 100%

  19. Channel pricing Retailer Cost = $ 30.00 = 60% Markup = $ 20.00 = 40% Selling Price = $50.00 = 100%

  20. Taxonomy of Strategies Objective of Firm

  21. Segments and Search Costs • Random Discounting • Maintain high price regularly • Randomly cut price • The uninformed will buy randomly –usually high • The informed will wait • Hence, we don’t lose either

  22. Segments and low reservation • Periodic Discounting • Start at high price • Lower price (predictably) over time • High reservation folks buy early • Low reservation people buy later

  23. Segments and transaction costs • Second market Discounting • Requires excess capacity over regular market • Fixed costs covered in original market • Generics • Store brand • dumping

  24. Competition & search costs • Price signaling • Goods are produced at two quality levels • Experience or credence search properties • Three strategies • Produce low quality – sell low price • Produce high quality – sell high price • Produce low quality – sell high price

  25. Competition and reservation • Penetration / experience pricing • No threat of immediate entry • Gains from high volume • Amass market share

  26. Competition and Transaction costs • Geographic pricing • A combination of second market discounting and penetration • Usually the same price in two separate markets even though the costs differ.

  27. Product Line and Search • Image Pricing • Bring out an identical product to first but with different name and higher price • Price signals quality to high search cost group • Use excess profits to subsidize other version of the product whose price can be lowered.

  28. Product line and reservation • Price bundling • Perishable products (no periodic discounting) • Can’t discriminate • Theater 1 Theater 2 • Movie 1 12 18 • Movie 2 25 10 • Charge 18 for movie 1; 25 for movie 2 • 28 for both

  29. Product line and reservation • Premium Pricing • Two versions of product • Make money on premium • Lose money on standard • Take advantage of economies

  30. Product Line and Special Transaction costs • Complementary Pricing • Captive pricing (razor and razor blades) • Two-Part Pricing (same as captive but for services) Mickey Mouse pricing • Loss leader pricing – reduces special transaction costs for many other products

  31. Break-even Market Share • Framework for judging potential profit and risk • Break-even Market Share = Break-even Volume * 100/ Market Demand
