Premium Pricing

Cost-Plus Pricing Costs Associated with Selling a Cup of Coffee: The retailer works out all costs associated with the product and adds the amount of profit they need to make. Most costs associated with selling a cup of coffee are fixed: example labor- same salary for the barista if she is pouring you brewed coffee of making espresso drink Generally speaking, the bigger the drink you get, the higher the profit margin for the retailer Coffee Beans Wages for barrista etc. Cup/Lid Overhead Costs (rent, upkeep) Any extras (milk, soy, espresso) Retailers that use this strategy:

Linear Pricing

2nd Degree Price Discrimination Bundling: breakfast deals Coffee Cards- frequent user incentives Add ons- soy milk, extra espresso, extra flavor shot Manndibucks- prepaid “Unlimited” mugs

Price Bundling Companies often bundle items together to achieve maximum consumer surplus. Dunkin Donuts coffee complements their bakery products and breakfast sandwiches. Although these can be bought separately, buying them together as a value meal is cheaper. Manndible offers a breakfast bundle of Coffee and a Bagel with Cream Cheese

Complementary Pricing Charging a very low price for an item compared to its competitors, while raising price on other items. McDonalds offers a small cup of coffee for $1, and runs a seasonal campaign of any size coffee for $1. Artificially low price of coffee stimulates interest, brings in customers who are then more likely to buy some food along with their inexpensive cup of coffee.

Gimme! Vs. Manndible Same coffee, different prices. Why?
