Value –based pricing (Value-optimized pricing) – is a business strategy that sets prices on the value, perceived or estimated to the customer rather then on the cost of the product, market price, competition or historical prices. The goal of the value-based pricing is to align a price with the value delivered. Customers who receive high levels of value will pay a higher price than customers who receive lower level of value. Ex. For economic prices – those of soups, vegetables, fruits, salt, sugar, pepper, spaghetti, etc. For extra (premium) price – those of Swarovski, Hilton, Crown Plaza, etc.
Price skimming – a price strategy in which a marketer sets a relatively high price for goods/services and then lower the prices over time. Price skimming allows the firm to cover the costs quickly before the competition steps in and lowers the market price. The objective is to capture more customers. Ex. New movie, new CD…Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which a marketer sets a relatively high price for a product or service at first, then lowers the price over time. It is a temporal version of price discrimination/yield management. It allows the firm to recover its sunk costs quickly before competition steps in and lowers the market price. Price skimming is sometimes referred to as riding down the demand curve. The objective of a price skimming strategy is to capture the consumer surplus. If this is done successfully, then theoretically no customer will pay less for the product than the maximum they are willing to pay. In practice, it is almost impossible for a firm to capture all of this surplus.
Penetration price – is the pricing technique of setting a relatively low initial entry price, often lower than the eventual market price to attract new customers. The objective is to make customers to switch to the new brand because of the lower price. This strategy is most associated with an objective to increase market share or sales volume rather than to make profit in the short run. Penetration pricing is the pricing technique of setting a relatively low initial entry price, often lower than the eventual market price, to attract new customers. The strategy works on the expectation that customers will switch to the new brand because of the lower price. Penetration pricing is most commonly associated with a marketing objective of increasing market share or sales volume, rather than to make profit in the short term.
Premium Pricing
Premium pricing is the practice of keeping the price of a product or service artificially high in order to encourage favorable perceptions among buyers, based solely on the price. The practice is intended to exploit the (not necessarily justifiable) tendency for buyers to assume that expensive items enjoy an exceptional reputation or represent exceptional quality and distinction. A premium pricing strategy involves setting the price of a product higher than similar products. This strategy is sometimes also called skim pricing because it is an attempt to “skim the cream” off the top of the market. It is used to maximize profit in areas where customers are happy to pay more, where there are no substitutes for the product, where there are barriers to entering the market, or when the seller cannot save on costs by producing at a high volume. It is also called image pricing or prestige pricing.
