To determine the optimal Pricing Strategy, we need to look at things within the context of the product’s adoption lifecycle ,[object Object],Number of customers Time “ The Chasm” INNOVATORS EARLY ADOPTORS EARLY MAJORITY LATE MAJORITY LAGGARDS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Source: Crossing the Chasm and Beyond, Moore and McKenna, 1999 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/

Pricing Skimming works best when introducing a new product with no competitive peers to capture the Early Market ,[object Object],Number of customers Time “ The Chasm” Market Skimmer INNOVATORS EARLY ADOPTORS EARLY MAJORITY LATE MAJORITY LAGGARDS It is typical to use a Price Skimming Pricing Strategy at the beginning of a product’s adoption lifecycle. This is because the initial buyers are not as price sensitive and more apt to purchasing new products. The risk is the “the chasm,” which is threshold that many new products fail to cross. Many new product are successful in selling to the Early Market. However, they never achieve the critical mass needed for mass consumer adoption. We say these products fell into a chasm. Many marketers try to bridge the chasm by dropping prices. This is often not the solution, because the issue is not of price, but the product itself. Consumers may be waiting for the product to prove itself or be more fully developed.

Penetration Pricing works best as the product reaches the Mainstream Market and it becomes a race to grab share ,[object Object],Number of customers Time “ The Chasm” Market Penetrator INNOVATORS EARLY ADOPTORS EARLY MAJORITY LATE MAJORITY LAGGARDS Pricing Penetration Strategy is often adopted as the new product is about to reach the Mainstream Market. At this point, adoption it at its highest rate. Copy cat companies are quickly entering into the market, increasing supply, thus also putting pricing pressure on the product. At this point, this is a race to capture market share and become a market leader. Therefore, many companies, incumbents and new entrants will adopt pricing Penetration Strategy to absorb share. Large companies may engage in predatory pricing to increase barriers to entry and drive out smaller players.

A key reason to skim the Early Market is to capture as much consumer surplus as possible—there is no reason to leave money on the table ,[object Object],– + ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Consumer surplus is the difference between the highest price the consumer is willing to pay and the price they are actually paying Pricing Skimming Pricing Strategy works well when introducing a new product where there are no or few competitive products. A high price point allows us to capture the early adopters, who are not price sensitive. EXAMPLE This strategy is typically used for high-end electronics, e.g. high definition TVs.

Step 1. Determine the key drivers of Price Sensitivity ,[object Object],There are 9 drivers to Price Sensitivity. However, depending your offering(s), only a subset of these drivers are relevant. Determine the drivers that are most relevant.

The Framing Effect Buyers are more sensitive to the price of a product when the price is outside the range they perceive as “fair” or “reasonable” given the purchase context. Fairness Effect The smaller the portion of the purchase price buyers must pay for themselves, the less price sensitive they will be. Shared-cost Effect The effect refers to the relationship a given purchase has to a larger overall benefit, and is divided into two parts: Derived demand : The more sensitive buyers are to the price of the end benefit, the more sensitive they will be to the prices of those products that contribute to that benefit. Price proportion cost : This refers to the percent of the total cost of the end benefit accounted for by a given component that helps to produce the end benefit (e.g. think CPU and PCs). The smaller the given components share of the total cost of the end benefit, the less sensitive buyers will be to the component's price. End-Benefit Effect Buyers are more price sensitive when the expense accounts for a large percentage of buyers’ available income or budget. Expenditure Effect Buyers are less sensitive to price the more that higher prices signal higher quality. Products for which this effect is particularly relevant include: image products, exclusive products, and products with minimal cues for quality. Price-Quality Effect The higher the product-specific investment a buyer must make to switch suppliers, the less price sensitive that buyer is when choosing between alternatives. Switching Costs Effect Buyers are less sensitive to the price of a known / more reputable product when they have difficulty comparing it to potential alternatives. Difficult Comparison Effect Buyer’s price sensitivity for a given product increases the higher the product’s price relative to perceived alternatives. Perceived alternatives can vary by buyer segment, by occasion, and other factors. Reference Price Effect

Step 2. Score the impact of each relevant Price Sensitivity driver ,[object Object],Continuing on our example from the previous slide, we have down-selected to the 4 Price Sensitivity drivers listed below (in green). In this next step, we score the impact of driver on a scale from 1-3, with 3 being the most impactful. TOTAL SCORE: 8 (out of a possible score of 12) THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/ Buyers are more sensitive to the price of a product when the price is outside the range they perceive as “fair” or “reasonable” given the purchase context.

Products for which this effect is particularly relevant include: image products, exclusive products, and products with minimal cues for quality. Price-Quality Effect The higher the product-specific investment a buyer must make to switch suppliers, the less price sensitive that buyer is when choosing between alternatives. Switching Costs Effect Buyer’s price sensitivity for a given product increases the higher the product’s price relative to perceived alternatives.

Reference Price Effect 3 (Strong impact) 2 1 (Minimal impact) 3 (Strong impact) 2 1 (Minimal impact) 3 (Strong impact) 2 1 (Minimal impact) 3 (Strong impact) 2 1 (Minimal impact)

Step 3. Determine the Point of Perfect Elasticity and map the score to a pricing sensitivity elasticity factor ,[object Object],Once we have a Pricing Elasticity “score,” we need to translate this score to an elasticity factor. This factor represents the relationship between pricing change and the resulting demand change. To determine this factor, we need to create a translation table that maps the score to a factor. This mapping is anchored by 3 key values: the upper bound, the lower bound, and the point of perfect elasticity. SCORE ELASTICITY FACTOR ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],SCORE ELASTICITY FACTOR Once you have picked your 3 anchor points, the remaining elasticity factor values should fall into place.

5. Create your Price Sensitivity formula ,[object Object],∆ price = ------------------------------ Price new – Price original Price original If < threshold_of_no_elasticity , ∆ price Units new = Units original DEFINITION SCENARIO A If > threshold_of_no_elasticity , ∆ price Units new = Units original ( 100% – ∆ price + threshold_of_no_elasticity) SCENARIO B If < threshold_of_no_elasticity , ∆ price Units new = Units original ( 100% + ∆ price – threshold_of_no_elasticity) SCENARIO C We have converted these formulas into an Excel model, embedded into the following slide THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/

Price Discrimination OVERVIEW ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/ Pricing discrimination is when you charge different prices for the same product/service in different markets. This requires each market to be impenetrable, so that members of one market can’t switch into another market to attain better pricing. This also requires each market to have different levels of price sensitivity. It is important to understand the local regulations that may affect one’s ability to implement pricing discrimination rules. For instance, manufacturers of hard goods cannot sell their products to similarly situated retailers at different prices per the Robinson-Patman Act.

Predatory Pricing OVERVIEW ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/ Predatory pricing is an aggressive way of pushing out smaller players and erecting barriers to entry. It is the act of deliberately price cutting to force rival players out of business, because these rivals cannot afford to compete at such a loss. Only strong players with a “war chest” can afford this strategy, since they will be losing money with each sale. This is anti-competitive and illegal if it can be proved.

Marginal Cost Pricing OVERVIEW ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],THIS IS A PARTIAL PREVIEW You can preview the full PowerPoint document and download it at http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/ Marginal cost pricing is selling a product at the incremental cost of producing 1 more such product. In other words, it is selling a product at 0 profit. This is typically used when the fixed costs are high and have already been covered by initial sales. The remaining unsold products, e.g. excess capacity, are sold are marginal costs.
