What is price?

Price= customer cost= sum of everything customer gives up for having and using the product - Time, convenience, travel, delivery, installation, training, opportunity cost

Product mix pricing strategies

Product line pricing- management must determine the price steps to set between the various products in a line. The price steps should take into account cost differences between products in the line. More important, they should account for differences in customer perceptions of the value of different features. Optional-product pricing- pricing optional or accessory products along with the main product. For example, a car buyer may choose to order a remote engine start system and premium sound system. Refrigerators come with optional ice makers. And when you order a new laptop, you can select from a bewildering array of processors, drives, docking systems, software options, and service plans. Pricing these options is a sticky problem. Companies must decide which items to include in the base price and which to offer as options. Captive-product pricing- Companies that make products that must be used along with a main product are using captive-product pricing. Examples of captive products are razor blade cartridges, video games, printer cartridges, single-serve coffee pods, e-books, and video games. Producers of the main products (razors, e-readers, printers, single-cup coffee brewing systems, and video game consoles) often price them low and set high markups on supplies and supplemental products. By-product pricing- the company seeks a market for these by-products (ex: chicken feet aren't eaten in America but eaten in China) to help offset the costs of disposing of them and help make the price of the main product more competitive. Product bundle pricing- sellers often combine several products and offer the bundle at a reduced price. For example, fast-food restaurants bundle a burger, fries, and a soft drink at a "combo" price.

Geoconcquesting- a technique that uses location data to identify a brand's competitors in an effort to promote a competing or competitive offering to their customers. Premiums- Freebies (cereal box toy) Advertising specialties- Branded freebies (J&J pen at a career fair) Patronage rewards- Rewards systems (ex: airlines miles; For products that you purchase often like food) Point of purchase promotions- Coupon right on shelf next to product Contests and sweepstakes- Enter to win

Affordable method for budget decisions

Setting promotion budget at the level they think the company can afford. Small businesses often use this method, because company cannot spend more on promotion than it has. They start with total revenues, deduct operating expenses and capital outlays, and then devote some portion of the remaining funds to promotion.

Percentage of sales method for budget decisions
