- 8. WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC PRICING? Optimized Pricing
- 9. OPTIMIZED PRICING Price optimization is the use of mathematical analysis by a company to determine how customers will respond to different prices for its products and services through different channels. Amazon, one of the largest retailers that uses optimized pricing, changes its prices of its 15-20% of its inventory every 10 minutes on average. The company saw a 27.2% increase in sales from 2012 to 2013 and generated over $44bn in sales just last year. This resulted in Amazon being named one of the top 10 retailers in the US for the first time.

- 17. WHY SHOULD HOTELIERS WORK WITH SCIENTIFIC PRICING? Would be process driven: Which means that a revenue manager would consistently follow the same process in determining the optimum price. Would be scalable: A revenue manager should be easily able to continually replicate the process and scale it up, irrespective of the number/ type of rooms in the property. Would be fast: The methodology can be applied at a speed which would match the pace of market movements. Market factors change rapidly, and if revenue managers aren’t fast enough, they will not be able to determine the right price in time to distribute those prices.

Editor's Notes
- In one experiment by Yale University, researchers gave users a choice of buying a pack of gum or keeping the money. When given a choice between two packs of gum, only 46% made a purchase when both were priced at 63 cents. Conversely, when the packs of gum were differently priced—at 62 cents and 64 cents—more than 77% of consumers chose to buy a pack.
- Placing premium products and services near standard options may help create a clearer sense of value for potential customers, who will view the less expensive options as bargain in comparison.
- A change in something is affected by how big that something was beforehand. When it comes to price hikes, there is no magic number, but Weber's law shows that approximately 10 percent is the average point where customers are stirred to respond.
- According to the economist Richard Thaler, perception goes a long way toward justifying whether or not a price is reasonable. So it’s beneficial to create a compelling narrative around a product. Example– price of beer from a pub vs same beer from St. Regis’s posh bar
- Example– Gambling: LV vs Macau
- Example– dominos vs papa john’s
