would be verydifficult for the marketersto
distinguish their products from that of
competitors.

strategy commonly adopted by marketers
when dealing with the products which
cannot be easily distinguished in terms of
tangible features.
13. Branding as a Concept - A brand is "a

31. Price Mix
= the value that is put for a product.
❖ It depends on
Cost of production, Segment targeted,
Ability of the market to pay, Supply -
demand and a host of other direct and indirect
factors.
❖ There can be several types of pricing strategies,
each tied in with an overall business plan.
❖ Pricing can also be used as a demarcation, to
differentiate and enhance the image of a product.
❖ Price is the only revenuegenerating element
amongst the four P's, the rest being cost centers.
Some Methods Of
Pricing which are used
in pricing decisions are
as follows:
❖Cost Plus
❖Pricing,
❖Penetration Pricing,
❖Price Skimming and
❖Variable Pricing
32. ❖ The manufacturer charges a price to cover the cost of producing a product plus
a reasonable profit. The cost-plus methodis simple, but it does not encourage the
efficient use of resources.
❖ Cost-plus pricing is typically based on a manufacturing estimate.
❖ Estimates are made of the resources required, the cost of those resources and the
time for which they will be used.
33. Advantages
❖ A company knows exactly the amount of
expenditure and therefore they can add
profit margin accordingly.
❖ It is the simplest method.
❖ Easier for a company to evaluate the reasons
for escalations in expenses and therefore it
can take corrective action immediately.
Disadvantages
❖ This methoddoes not take
into account the future
demand.
❖ It also does not take into
account the competitor
actions.
❖ It can result in the company
overestimating the price.
34. ❖ Price is initially set at a price lower
than the eventual market price, to
attract new customers.
❖ The expectation is that customers
willswitch to the new brand
because of the lowerprice.
❖ Penetrationpricing is most
commonly associated with a
marketing objectiveof increasing
❖ market share or sales volume.
➢ E.g. Toothpaste sold in a remote
rural area, Mobile phone rates in
India; housing loans etc.
➢ E.g. The Reliance Company
followed penetration pricing
strategy when it introduced
mobile phone and Jio services. It
offered it at so low price that it
captured big share of mobile
phone market.
35. Advantages
1. Result in fast diffusion and adoption. This
can achieve high market rates quickly.
2. It can create goodwill among the early
adopters segment.
3. It creates cost control and cost
reduction pressures from the start.
4. It discourages the entry of competitors.
Low prices act as a barrier to entry
5. It can create high stock turnover
throughout the distribution channel
6. This can create criticallyimportant
enthusiasm and support in the channel.
Disadvantages
1. The main disadvantage with
penetration pricing is that it establishes
long–term
price expectations for the product and
image preconceptions for the brand
and
company.
2. Another potential disadvantage is that
the low profit margins may not be
sustainablelong enough for the strategy
to be effective.
36. ➢ Product demandis highly price elastic.
➢ Substantial economiesof scale are available.
➢ The product is suitable for a mass market (i.e. enough demand).
➢ The product will face stiff competitionsoon after introduction.
➢ There is not enough demand amongst consumers to make price skimming
work.
➢ In industries where standardization is important. The product that achieves
high market penetration often becomes the industry standard (e.g.
Microsoft Windows) and other products, whatever their merits, become
marginalized. Standardscarry heavy momentum.
37. Meaning
o Goods are sold at higher
prices. Usually employedto
reimbursethe cost of
investment of the original
research into the product.
o This strategy is often used
to target "early adopters"
of a product or service
who generally have a
relatively lower price-
sensitivity.
o This strategy is employed
only for a limited duration.
Advantages
❖ Helps the company
recovering the
research and
development costs.
❖ If the company
caters to consumers
who are quality
conscious rather
than price
conscious.
Disadvantages
❖ This strategy can backfire if
there are close
competitors.
❖ Not viablewhen there are
strict legal and government
regulations.
❖ If the company has history
of price skimming then
consumers will never buy a
product when it is newly
launched, they would
rather wait for a few months
and buy the product at
lower price.
38. ➢ Variable pricing is a marketing
approach that permits different rates
to be extended to different
customers for the same goods or
services.
➢ The approach is often employed in
cultures where dickering over the
price of goods is considered the
norm, or potential buyers are
allowed to participate in a bidding
situation, such as in an auction.
➢ Also, this method is witnessed
where discounted price is offered in
case of bulk purchases.
Variable Pricing is used in
the following cases:
➢ Difference in order size
➢ Difference in anticipated
business from different
customers
➢ Difference in the
bargaining power of the
consumer
➢ Difference in the ability of
the consumer to pay
39. Advantages of Variable Pricing
1. Sellers can use this method of pricing to sell those goods and services that they have not
been able to sell at original price.
2. By selling their products at variable price, the sellers are able to earn a modest profit and
recoup their investment in the product.
Disadvantages of Variable Pricing
1. It can lead to losing other customers who paid full price for their purchase if they find out
that another customer was able to purchase the same product at a lower price.
2. Goodwill of the business is adversely affected.
40. Examples:
❖ Difference in order size by the customers
❖ The soft drink bottle of 200 ml of a company is placed at Rs. 8, while a 2000 ml/2-liter
bottle is placed at ` 55.
❖ Difference in the anticipated business from different customers
❖ The school fee for the second childand other siblings are charged at a lower rate by the
schools.
❖ Difference in the bargaining power of the customer
❖ The price of unbranded/assembleditems of computers are charged differently
depending upon the awareness and bargaining power of the customers.
❖ Difference in the ability of the consumers to pay
❖ Different price is charged by the public distribution shops run by the government for
wheat, rice and other variety of food items depending on the income groups.
41.

making I it easy for her to buy is the main aim of a good distribution or 'place' strategy.
❖ A channel of distributionor trade channel is defined as the path or route along which
goods
❖ move from producers or manufacturers to ultimate consumers or industrial users.
❖ This channel consists of:
Producers, consumers or users and the various middlemen like wholesalers,selling
agents and retailers (dealers) who intervene between the producers and consumers.
❖ Therefore, the channel serves to bridge the gap between the point of production and
the point of consumptionthereby creating time, place and possessionutilities.
43. A channel of distribution consists of three types of flows:
❖ Downward flow of goods from producers to consumers
❖ Upward flow of cash payments for goods from consumers to producers

❖ It is fast and economical.
❖ The producer performs all the marketing activities and has full control over distribution.
❖ A producer may sell directly to consumers through door-to-door salesmen,direct mail or
through his own retail stores.
❖ Big firms adopt this channel to cut distribution costs and to sell industrial products of high
value.Small producers and producers of perishable commodities also sell directly to
local consumers.
46. ❖ This channel of distributioninvolves only one middleman called'retailer'.
❖ Under it, the producer sells his product to big retailers (or retailers who buy goods in
large quantities) who in turn sell to the ultimate consumers.
❖ This channel relieves the manufacturer from burden of selling the goods himselfand at
the same time gives him control over the process of distribution.
❖ This is often suited for distributionof consumer durables and products of high value.
47. ❖ Two middlemen i.e. wholesalers and retailers are involved.
❖ This channel is suitable for the producers having limitedfinance, narrow product line and
who need expert services and promotional support of wholesalers.
❖ This is mostlyused for the products with widely scattered market.
48. ❖ This is the longest channel of distributionin which three middlemenare involved.
❖ This is used when the producer wants to be fully relievedof the problem of
distribution and thus hands over his entire output to the selling agents..
❖ This channel is suitable for wider distribution of various industrial products.
