EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Tea is specifically a consumer good. As our product is entirely des igned out of 
innovation, its brand name is suggested as Quick-T from the words Quick Tea. The 
name, itself shall suggest the whole idea of our product and its function i.e. makes tea 
ready in a very short time. 
Its brand-equity is considerably low, obviously, as it is at the introductory stage so the 
product will require a lot of marketing techniques, most probably Advertising, Test 
Marketing. 
Our packing and labeling conveys that Quick-T gently invigorates in a less-time-consuming 
and instant way. In terms of features, ingredient, uses and consumer 
acceptance, our product is Innovative. 
Its distribution strategy will be at a narrow level, not widespread. The product will be 
available in small markets, at first and after observation, will be put into action at a 
broader perspective. 
Quality tea is not a problem to get absorbed in the market, so retailers will be having 
no problem in buying stocks and selling it. Quick-T has been approved of all qualities 
a consumer demands for his cup of Tea. Hopes for high profits are on, because Tea is 
sold at a wide range in Pakistan. Quick-T’s key strengths include, Quickness, Quality 
Taste. 
Weaknesses may include High Competition and Non-Absorbing Tea Leaves. But the 
product, Quick-T is unique in its design because it is complete creative way of 
making Tea as Tea Leaves, Sugar and Milk Powde r have been innovatively used 
together for making Tea in less than a minute.

SITUATION ANALYSIS 
HISTORY: 
In Pakistan, tea is popular all over the country and holds an integral significance in 
local culture. It is one of the most consumed beverages in Pakistani cuisine. The local 
name for tea, in Urdu, is chi Different regions throughout the country have their own 
different flavors and varieties, giving Pakistani tea culture a diverse blend. 
Marketing environment of our organization will help promote Quik-T as its highest 
priority and fully motivate the product to be promoted at a broad range and level. 
There are no special threats considerable and risk involved is high, so performance 
and production is kept high and of quality so that customers are satisfied at a great 
level. 
VALUE OF TEA IN PAKISTAN 
Pakistan imported about 8178.88 metric tones (MT) of black tea worth $16.1 million 
during March 2009, as compared with 9096.48 metric tones in March 2008 worth 
$18.5 million. According to these numbers provided by PTA, imports witnessed a 
decline of 10 percent. The apparent reason for the decreasing value of decline was a 
hike in the prices of commodities and petrol prices in general; it is significant to 
mention over here that the international tea prices also witnessed their peak in the past 
few months. Probably that is the reason why the existing importers in the country 
could not import the expected quantity of tea. 
TREND OF TEA IN PAKISTAN 
This decline did not really affect the consumption pattern of the population as people 
consumed tea like they did in the past; the change in consumption pattern did not 
show a descending trend because of the existence of smuggled tea. 
Pakistan’s per capita consumption of tea is 1 kg per annum, but the country relies 
almost completely on imported tea. Its import volume is third highest behind Russia 
and the United Kingdom. Pakistan imports tea from 21 countries and the major 
portion is imported from Kenya. During March, 58.81 percent of the total quantity of 
imported tea was bought from Kenya as compared with 49.63 percent imported in the 
corresponding period last year.

TEA ASSOCIATION 
According to an interview given to Daily Times by the President of Pakistan Tea 
Association (PTA) Hanif Janoo, legal importers of the commodity are facing a critical 
situation because of increase in smuggling over the past few years. The country’s 
annual consumption of tea stood at 170-175 million kg, the third highest in the world. 
Mr. Hanif Janoo also stated that only 100 million kg of tea is brought into the country 
through legal process while the rest is smuggled under the garb of Afghan Transit 
Trade. 
It is to be noted that the government is annually losing Rs 5 billion to Rs 5.5 billion 
revenue due to smuggling. This loss could easily be neutralized by making the legal 
trade regime easy and by placing minimum duties on regular imports, as is the 
practice in almost all the tea- importing countries. The set of solutions suggested by 
Mr. Janoo included the reduction of import duty from 10 percent to zero, placing the 
black tea in negative list or putting a quantity quota like India-Nepal agreement. Other 
than the suggestions mentioned above regarding the steps that could be taken by the 
government, it is imperative to mention that in-house production and cultivation of tea 
leaves would also help us add more money to our local exchequer. If we spend 
approximately Rs. 20 million just for the cause of importing tea every month, we can 
easily calculate the amount we would save by initiating the local production in the 
coming few years. The import quantity would hence only increase with the increasing 
population. 
TEA IMPORT QUOTA 
It is an important consideration. Each year there is a certain quota on tea 
import in total imports of Pakistan. Each player is given quota to import and 
manufacture so one can say that it is a much regulated industry. 
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS 
The relations with the tea producing nations and Pakistan play a vital role as 
large part of imports comes from Kenya, but now Pakistan is also importing tea from 
India. 
UNSTABLE GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS 
Pakistan is situated at a very critical and geographically strategic location. Due 
to the uncertainty new investors are not ready to invest in Pakistan.

CONSUMER EVALUATION 
The regular consumption of tea from the chart is clear that it is used in many 
behaviors, mostly regularly as a regular drink. Some also consider it a hygienic 
remedy, but these people do not prefer its daily consumption. Others include those 
people who take it as a hot beverage only in winter season and some do not drink at 
all except events like functions of marriage ceremonies, parties, etc. 
In terms of Purchase Decision, the decision is independent of gender or age, because 
quality tea is adored by all ages and genders. 
CUSTOMER VALUE 
Pricing according to the customer value approach involves setting prices to capture 
the full value customers place on a product or service. The advantage of this approach 
versus cost plus pricing is higher profit margins can be achieved through the capture 
of the customer surplus. However the main drawbacks are complexities involved in 
implementation – how to determine customer utility for each product line and how to 
account for difference in the price a customer is ready to pay 
CUSTOMER NEEDS 
TARGET MARKET 
The broad category of target market for Tapal would be all tea lovers. However their 
diversified product line caters to various segments of consumer who have varied taste 
preferences. 
The most generic product can be the Tapal family mixture and specific would be 
“Tapal Tez Dum” which is for the consumers who like strong color and 
Flavor. Tapal Dander provides the finest quality and is for the people who like quality 
tea. 
On the other hand Tapal Green Tea is for the health conscious consumers. So we can 
say that Tapal is catering to almost all categories of Tea drinkers. Their recent 
addition is Tapal iced tea which has not been very successful because the consumers 
have not developed the taste for it. 
In order to further understand the target market and their characteristics below is the 
AIOD framework which provides a comprehensive overview:

CHANGING TRENDS 
As work environment is becoming more stressful, people require different 
forms of refreshment and intakes to increase their energy levels. This further increase 
the intake of tea at workplaces, tea is not only just available to the employees when 
needed but is also served twice a day in order to keep them going. On the other hand, 
media expansion, growth of advertising as a separate industry has resulted in greater 
exposure of all the brands and masses. Hence social factors and changing mindsets 
have positively affected this industry 
Tea has always been acceptable in all social classes because of its usage. 
Green tea has recently gained a lot of popularity due to health reasons and is largely 
consumed. Another factor is the emergence of ice tea, which is indirectly competing 
with soft drinks.

INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT 
Pakistan imported about 8178.88 metric tones (MT) of black tea worth $16.1 million 
during March 2009, as compared with 9096.48 metric tones in March 2008 worth 
$18.5 million. According to these numbers provided by PTA, imports witnessed a 
decline of 10 percent. The apparent reason for the decreasing value of decline was a 
hike in the prices of commodities and petrol prices in general; it is s ignificant to 
mention over here that the international tea prices also witnessed their peak in the past

THE EXTERNAL MACRO ENVIRONMENT 
In which a firm operates can be expressed in terms of the following factors 
- Political 
- Economic 
- Social 
- Technological 
POLITICAL FACTORS 
These factors and government interventions can make or break the industry. 
The political factors have played a very benign role for the tea industry. The political 
arena has a huge influence upon the regulations of the businesses, and spending 
power of consumers and other businesses. The political environment of Pakistan is 
relatively unstable in the current situation. The 
Investors are not willing to invest in Pakistan. However, WTO and trade 
policies encourage the import of raw materials for Tea industry.

ECONOMIC FACTORS 
Economic conditions of an environment have a direct impact on the 
development of any industry. The recent economic recession in the world has had an 
impact on Pakistan’s economy as well. 
Pakistan's economy mainly encompasses textiles, chemicals, food 
processing, agriculture and other industries. In 2005, it was the third fastest growing 
economy in Asia. Since the beginning of 2008, Pakistan's economic outlook has taken 
a dramatic downturn. Security concerns stemming from the nation's role in the War 
on Terror have created great instability and led to a decline in FDI from a height of 
approximately $8 bn to $3.5bn for the current fiscal year. Concurrently, the 
insurgency has forced massive capital flight from Pakistan to the Gulf. Combined 
with high global commodity prices, the dual impact has shocked Pakistan's economy, 
with gaping trade deficits, high inflation and a crash in the value of the Rupee, which 
has fallen from 60-1 USD to over 80-1 USD in a few months. For the first time in 
years, it may have to seek external funding as Balance of Payments support. 
SOCIAL FACTORS 
The social and cultural influences on business vary from country to country. It 
is very important that such factors are considered. People are socializing more may it 
be events or casual visits to friends and family? Tea has always been an integral part 
of Pakistani culture and rituals. It is understood that tea would be present at all events. 
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS 
Technology is important to gain an edge over competitors and it drives 
globalization. Technology helps companies to reduce cost and achieve economies of 
scale. Technology also leads to the development of new products and somet imes-even 
segments. 
Tea manufacturers like Unilever and Tapal already manufacture tea of the 
highest quality and they achieve it by the state of the art production facility that they 
have. Lipton has also installed its own plant of Danedar tea production.

PRICE THE ONLY REVENUE GENRATOR 
Many people will stand in line for something free, even if it takes hours. When Chick-fill- 
A opens new locations, they offer the first one hundred customers a free meal 
every week for a year. Customers camp out to get the free meals. When KFC 
introduced its grilled chicken, they put coupons good for a free piece of chicken in 
many Sunday newspaper magazines. So how do sellers make a ny money if they 
always offer goods and services on sale or for a special deal? Many sellers give 
customers something for free hoping they’ll buy other products, but a careful balance 
is needed to make sure a profit is made. Are free products a good pricing strategy? 
Figure 15.1 
Some of shoppers’ favorite four- letter words include FREE, SALE, and BOGO (Buy 
One Get One Free).

In previous chapters, we looked at the offering (products and services), 
communication (promotion), and place (the other marketing mix variables), all of 
which cost firms money. Price is the only marketing mix variable or part of the 
offering that generates revenue. Buyers relate the price to value. They must feel they 
are getting value for the price paid. Pricing decisions are extremely important. So how 
do organizations decide how to price their goods and services? 
PRICE PLAN 
It has an advantage of simplicity in implementation & administration however there 
is a high risk of leaving value on the table if some customers are prepared to pay 
higher price 
WHY PRICE STRATEGY MATTER 
Obviously, if we get our pricing wrong, we'll miss out on business. 
In order to increase profits, we could devise new services and products. However, by 
adjusting our existing pricing strategy on goods or services we already provide, we 
can squeeze out extra revenue with little effort. 
To get greater returns from pricing, companies typically find ways to charge different 
prices to different customers.

PENETRATION PRICING 
Pricing low to gain market share in anticipation of scale or experienced economies 
however with product lifecycles becoming shorter and shorter, the risk inherent in 
penetration pricing is that the product may not endure long enough to deliver the 
expected savings 
SKIMMING 
A skimming strategy is essentially the opposite of penetration pricing — pricing high 
to maximize margin from customers ready to pay the most however success of 
skimming strategy depends on the ease of entry by competition, since high mar gins 
are an open invitation to new entrants 
Company’s pricing strategy depends upon market position, stage of product life cycle 
& customer demand however pricing choice should be driven my marketing strategy 
& to maximize shareholders value 
PRICING BELOW COMETITORS 
To price below competitors, a number of factors need to work in the 
marketer’s favor. 
 They need lower costs than competitors. 
 A marketer may choose cheaper or broader locations, distribution channels 
or facilities, lower product quality or provide fewer added services to keep 
costs down. 
WHEN PRICE BELOW OF YOUR COMPETITORS 
This is a strategy that a marketer may deploy to grab market share. If this is 
the objective, the marketer should: 
 focus on stocking products that move quickly 
 add few or no extras and 
 Use advertising to promote price specials.

PRICING ABOVE COMPETITORS 
To price above competitors, a number of factors need to work in the 
marketer’s favor. 
 The premium price must be justified. 
 The product must be perceived by the customer as higher quality, 
distinctive or of better workmanship than its alternatives. The brand strategy 
would need to establish non-standard attributes that provide added benefit 
or value. 
PRICING THE SAME AS COMPETITORS 
Pricing at the same price point as competitors is an extremely difficult and is a 
vulnerable position for a marketer. 
It normally occurs because pricing precedence is already established by the 
first movers in the category and the marketer that prices to the market is a late 
entrant on the scene. 
 Telstra (market leader and first entrant) versus Optus (price-driven 
challenger) 
 Qantas (market leader and first entrant) versus Virgin Blue (price-driven 
challenger) 
This scenario means that the two main positions – the premium provider and 
the budget provider – are taken. More brands enter the market. They can see 
there is an established customer base, want to share in its profits and price 
somewhere in the middle. 
SEGMENT PRICING 
Perhaps your buyers can't pay the entire cost up front, but they can buy using other 
arrangements, like a monthly fee. Some clients might prefer bundle offers where 
everything is done for them, whilst others want to mix and match parts of your 
service. Offer different options so your client can fit their budget to your offering. 
DIFFERENTIAL PRICING 
Offering coupons can grab those buyers who are very price sensitive, or looking to 
buy only if they perceive a genuine bargain. Your other customers won't bother with 
coupons, so you can successfully run two different pricing strategies, one discount 
and one full price, by using coupons.

INFLATION 
Inflation remains the biggest threat to the economy, jumping to more than 9% 
in 2005 before easing to 7.9% in 2006. In 2008, following the surge in global petrol 
prices inflation in Pakistan has reached as high as 25.0%. The central bank is pursuing 
tighter monetary policy while trying to preserve growth. Foreign exchange reserves 
are bolstered by steady worker remittances, but a growing 
current account deficit - driven by a widening trade gap as import growth outstrips 
export expansion - could draw down reserves and dampen GDP growth in the

  • 11. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 11 SITUATION ANALYSIS HISTORY: In Pakistan, tea is popular all over the country and holds an integral significance in local culture. It is one of the most consumed beverages in Pakistani cuisine. The local name for tea, in Urdu, is chi Different regions throughout the country have their own different flavors and varieties, giving Pakistani tea culture a diverse blend. Marketing environment of our organization will help promote Quik-T as its highest priority and fully motivate the product to be promoted at a broad range and level. There are no special threats considerable and risk involved is high, so performance and production is kept high and of quality so that customers are satisfied at a great level. VALUE OF TEA IN PAKISTAN Pakistan imported about 8178.88 metric tones (MT) of black tea worth $16.1 million during March 2009, as compared with 9096.48 metric tones in March 2008 worth $18.5 million. According to these numbers provided by PTA, imports witnessed a decline of 10 percent. The apparent reason for the decreasing value of decline was a hike in the prices of commodities and petrol prices in general; it is significant to mention over here that the international tea prices also witnessed their peak in the past few months. Probably that is the reason why the existing importers in the country could not import the expected quantity of tea. TREND OF TEA IN PAKISTAN This decline did not really affect the consumption pattern of the population as people consumed tea like they did in the past; the change in consumption pattern did not show a descending trend because of the existence of smuggled tea. Pakistan’s per capita consumption of tea is 1 kg per annum, but the country relies almost completely on imported tea. Its import volume is third highest behind Russia and the United Kingdom. Pakistan imports tea from 21 countries and the major portion is imported from Kenya. During March, 58.81 percent of the total quantity of imported tea was bought from Kenya as compared with 49.63 percent imported in the corresponding period last year.
  • 12. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 12 TEA ASSOCIATION According to an interview given to Daily Times by the President of Pakistan Tea Association (PTA) Hanif Janoo, legal importers of the commodity are facing a critical situation because of increase in smuggling over the past few years. The country’s annual consumption of tea stood at 170-175 million kg, the third highest in the world. Mr. Hanif Janoo also stated that only 100 million kg of tea is brought into the country through legal process while the rest is smuggled under the garb of Afghan Transit Trade. It is to be noted that the government is annually losing Rs 5 billion to Rs 5.5 billion revenue due to smuggling. This loss could easily be neutralized by making the legal trade regime easy and by placing minimum duties on regular imports, as is the practice in almost all the tea- importing countries. The set of solutions suggested by Mr. Janoo included the reduction of import duty from 10 percent to zero, placing the black tea in negative list or putting a quantity quota like India-Nepal agreement. Other than the suggestions mentioned above regarding the steps that could be taken by the government, it is imperative to mention that in-house production and cultivation of tea leaves would also help us add more money to our local exchequer. If we spend approximately Rs. 20 million just for the cause of importing tea every month, we can easily calculate the amount we would save by initiating the local production in the coming few years. The import quantity would hence only increase with the increasing population. TEA IMPORT QUOTA It is an important consideration. Each year there is a certain quota on tea import in total imports of Pakistan. Each player is given quota to import and manufacture so one can say that it is a much regulated industry. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS The relations with the tea producing nations and Pakistan play a vital role as large part of imports comes from Kenya, but now Pakistan is also importing tea from India. UNSTABLE GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS Pakistan is situated at a very critical and geographically strategic location. Due to the uncertainty new investors are not ready to invest in Pakistan.
  • 13. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 13 CONSUMER EVALUATION The regular consumption of tea from the chart is clear that it is used in many behaviors, mostly regularly as a regular drink. Some also consider it a hygienic remedy, but these people do not prefer its daily consumption. Others include those people who take it as a hot beverage only in winter season and some do not drink at all except events like functions of marriage ceremonies, parties, etc. In terms of Purchase Decision, the decision is independent of gender or age, because quality tea is adored by all ages and genders. CUSTOMER VALUE Pricing according to the customer value approach involves setting prices to capture the full value customers place on a product or service. The advantage of this approach versus cost plus pricing is higher profit margins can be achieved through the capture of the customer surplus. However the main drawbacks are complexities involved in implementation – how to determine customer utility for each product line and how to account for difference in the price a customer is ready to pay CUSTOMER NEEDS TARGET MARKET The broad category of target market for Tapal would be all tea lovers. However their diversified product line caters to various segments of consumer who have varied taste preferences. The most generic product can be the Tapal family mixture and specific would be “Tapal Tez Dum” which is for the consumers who like strong color and Flavor. Tapal Dander provides the finest quality and is for the people who like quality tea. On the other hand Tapal Green Tea is for the health conscious consumers. So we can say that Tapal is catering to almost all categories of Tea drinkers. Their recent addition is Tapal iced tea which has not been very successful because the consumers have not developed the taste for it. In order to further understand the target market and their characteristics below is the AIOD framework which provides a comprehensive overview:
  • 14. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 14 CHANGING TRENDS As work environment is becoming more stressful, people require different forms of refreshment and intakes to increase their energy levels. This further increase the intake of tea at workplaces, tea is not only just available to the employees when needed but is also served twice a day in order to keep them going. On the other hand, media expansion, growth of advertising as a separate industry has resulted in greater exposure of all the brands and masses. Hence social factors and changing mindsets have positively affected this industry Tea has always been acceptable in all social classes because of its usage. Green tea has recently gained a lot of popularity due to health reasons and is largely consumed. Another factor is the emergence of ice tea, which is indirectly competing with soft drinks. Customer Create Value “Ardent Taste” is our value for creation a strong relationship in the mind of our customers

  • 16. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 16 INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT Pakistan imported about 8178.88 metric tones (MT) of black tea worth $16.1 million during March 2009, as compared with 9096.48 metric tones in March 2008 worth $18.5 million. According to these numbers provided by PTA, imports witnessed a decline of 10 percent.

THE EXTERNAL MACRO ENVIRONMENT In which a firm operates can be expressed in terms of the following factors - Political - Economic - Social - Technological POLITICAL FACTORS These factors and government interventions can make or break the industry. The political factors have played a very benign role for the tea industry. The political arena has a huge influence upon the regulations of the businesses, and spending power of consumers and other businesses. The political environment of Pakistan is relatively unstable in the current situation. The Investors are not willing to invest in Pakistan. However, WTO and trade policies encourage the import of raw materials for Tea industry.
  • 17. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 17 ECONOMIC FACTORS Economic conditions of an environment have a direct impact on the development of any industry. The recent economic recession in the world has had an impact on Pakistan’s economy as well. Pakistan's economy mainly encompasses textiles, chemicals, food processing, agriculture and other industries. In 2005, it was the third fastest growing economy in Asia. Since the beginning of 2008, Pakistan's economic outlook has taken a dramatic downturn. Security concerns stemming from the nation's role in the War on Terror have created great instability and led to a decline in FDI from a height of approximately $8 bn to $3.5bn for the current fiscal year. Concurrently, the insurgency has forced massive capital flight from Pakistan to the Gulf. Combined with high global commodity prices, the dual impact has shocked Pakistan's economy, with gaping trade deficits, high inflation and a crash in the value of the Rupee, which has fallen from 60-1 USD to over 80-1 USD in a few months. For the first time in years, it may have to seek external funding as Balance of Payments support. SOCIAL FACTORS The social and cultural influences on business vary from country to country. It is very important that such factors are considered. People are socializing more may it be events or casual visits to friends and family? Tea has always been an integral part of Pakistani culture and rituals. It is understood that tea would be present at all events. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS Technology is important to gain an edge over competitors and it drives globalization. Technology helps companies to reduce cost and achieve economies of scale. Technology also leads to the development of new products and somet imes-even segments. Tea manufacturers like Unilever and Tapal already manufacture tea of the highest quality and they achieve it by the state of the art production facility that they have. Lipton has also installed its own plant of Danedar tea production.
  • 18. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 18 COMETITOR ANALYSIS LIPTON TEA Lipton is one of the world's best-known and best-selling brands of both hot leaf and ready-to-drink tea.

  • 19.

It is the universal panacea, which relaxes and refreshes at the same time. The success of Brooke Bond Supreme is based on this very insight, since tea is a part of the social fabric of Pakistanis.

  • 24. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 24 PRICE THE ONLY REVENUE GENRATOR Many people will stand in line for something free, even if it takes hours. When Chick-fill- A opens new locations, they offer the first one hundred customers a free meal every week for a year. Customers camp out to get the free meals. When KFC introduced its grilled chicken, they put coupons good for a free piece of chicken in many Sunday newspaper magazines. So how do sellers make a ny money if they always offer goods and services on sale or for a special deal? Many sellers give customers something for free hoping they’ll buy other products, but a careful balance is needed to make sure a profit is made. Are free products a good pricing strategy? Figure 15.1 Some of shoppers’ favorite four- letter words include FREE, SALE, and BOGO (Buy One Get One Free). © 2010 Jupiter images Corporation In previous chapters, we looked at the offering (products and services), communication (promotion), and place (the other marketing mix variables), all of which cost firms money. Price is the only marketing mix variable or part of the offering that generates revenue. Buyers relate the price to value. They must feel they are getting value for the price paid. Pricing decisions are extremely important. So how do organizations decide how to price their goods and services? PRICE PLAN It has an advantage of simplicity in implementation & administration however there is a high risk of leaving value on the table if some customers are prepared to pay higher price WHY PRICE STRATEGY MATTER Obviously, if we get our pricing wrong, we'll miss out on business. In order to increase profits, we could devise new services and products. However, by adjusting our existing pricing strategy on goods or services we already provide, we can squeeze out extra revenue with little effort. To get greater returns from pricing, companies typically find ways to charge different prices to different customers.

  • 26. QUIK –T (Ardent Taste) BY: “GROUP OF PROTAGONIST S” 26 PRICING ABOVE COMPETITORS To price above competitors, a number of factors need to work in the marketer’s favor.  The premium price must be justified.  The product must be perceived by the customer as higher quality, distinctive or of better workmanship than its alternatives. The brand strategy would need to establish non-standard attributes that provide added benefit or value. PRICING THE SAME AS COMPETITORS Pricing at the same price point as competitors is an extremely difficult and is a vulnerable position for a marketer. It normally occurs because pricing precedence is already established by the first movers in the category and the marketer that prices to the market is a late entrant on the scene.  Telstra (market leader and first entrant) versus Optus (price-driven challenger)  Qantas (market leader and first entrant) versus Virgin Blue (price-driven challenger) This scenario means that the two main positions – the premium provider and the budget provider – are taken. More brands enter the market. They can see there is an established customer base, want to share in its profits and price somewhere in the middle. SEGMENT PRICING Perhaps your buyers can't pay the entire cost up front, but they can buy using other arrangements, like a monthly fee. Some clients might prefer bundle offers where everything is done for them, whilst others want to mix and match parts of your service. Offer different options so your client can fit their budget to your offering. DIFFERENTIAL PRICING Offering coupons can grab those buyers who are very price sensitive, or looking to buy only if they perceive a genuine bargain. Your other customers won't bother with coupons, so you can successfully run two different pricing strategies, one discount and one full price, by using coupons.
