  3. The market many and varied new and existing products integration of marketing throughout the HEI

  4. Markets and HEIs • market evaluation unnecessary - not for profit organisation • propositions / examples against: • HEFCE requirements • Media comment • TRAC methodology • Vision mission and corporate strategy support

  5. Pricing and admissions price value in non-monetary terms decisions re point scores / entrance requirements are pricing decisions

  6. Strategic pricing policy Corporate strategy Financial strategy Elements of marketing mix Pricing policies

  7. Pricing policies • definition of pricing policy • UWE’s pricing policy • UWE’s set of regulations - Appendix A

  8. Pricing strategies • develop pricing strategies for each of the main markets HEI serves. Presupposes • main market identification • collection of data • a) customers / customer values • b) price sensitivities • c) costs • d) competition • e) reputation • f) risks • g) government policies • h) product life cycle stage

  9. Pricing strategies • analyse the data to: • a) inform corporate strategy developments • b) inform pricing strategy development and hence financial strategy

  10. UWE example • corporate plan • managed change in characterisation of UWE’s student intake • significant increase in scale of research, postgraduate and consultancy activity • extension of UWE’s international dimension • strategic priority • improve the quality of student intake; reduce exposure to UCAS clearing

  11. UWE example • UWE’s weak characteristics • insufficiently high overall ratio of applications to places - reflects lack of sufficient ‘brand recognition and differentiation’ • heavy reliance on clearing system • disappointing quality of intake in some areas

  12. UWE Corporate plan - some objectives • develop its brand value • improve quality of full time student intake • reduce dependence on clearing • build upon reputation for teaching quality

  13. Market evaluation • markets where full time student numbers might increase if ‘price offer’ increased (High price / higher value market) • markets where if the above occurs less students would be attracted (Low price / low value market)

  14. High risk pricing strategy • possible under recruitment - reputational, financial risk • additional benefits • attacked price culture across all UWE • prompted review of admissions procedures

  15. Level 1 Undergraduate Entry through UCAS Overall position statement as at 28/09/01 Pricing strategy and strategic outcome

  16. Presentation summary • pricing policies and pricing strategies • interpretation of corporate objectives with financial strategy and market analysis of main markets • gave an example of the adoption of a pricing strategy for those markets where analysis suggested there would be a positive response

  17. Thank you
