59. Four Leaf Clover’s approach to setting prices will lean towards a value-pricing strategy. By going with such strategy, we will allow our business to thrive without much dependency of premium pricing. Consumers will see the value for themselves and will be able to judge if the price is fit enough for the product. This strategy should not be a problem because people tend to spend more when they know that certain products benefit a kind of charity. We believe that customers do not buy features or benefits but instead buy value, therefore with this kind of strategy, we may not be the cheapest but we definitely offer value. Customers are value conscious rather than price conscious; meaning that to some extent, they will pay more for a certain value in oppose to features. It is believed that customers assign a personal value to a product or service. Therefore, our customers will perceive that our eco-clothing line surely cannot be everyday low value pricing, but that it should not be premium pricing either. It makes sense to set our pricing decision at value pricing because it is reasonable and allows consumers to connect with brand without feeling intimidated by either too high or low of a price range.
