It is crucial to have the right pricing strategy so that your company can have continued sales success. One can think that pricing is simple, price your product based on manufacturing costs, labor, and advertising expenses and then adds a percentage to profit. But there are more to consider because the way you price your product reflects your brand identity, how you see your competitors, and your customers’ value. That is why you need to plan out a pricing strategy.
When deciding on a pricing strategy, it should not solely be focused on making a profit; it should reflect on your business identity, brand, and financial stability. Assess the company‘s business goals, research the market you are entering – what your competitors are doing will impact your business success and decisions. When you know what your competitors are doing, it will help you differentiate your business and stand out. Lastly, ask potential customers how they would value your brand to get insight into where you sit on the market and decide on a pricing strategy.
There are several ways to price your products. Five of the most common ones are skimming, market penetration, premium, economy, and bundle pricing.
The consumer market is growing and expanding to new areas faster than ever before, forcing companies to adjust their pricing strategy accordingly. For instance, e-commerce is giving the customer all the power through transparent price comparison and price-matching. Low-price and niche competitors are taking market share from established businesses. New digital tools provide data and analytics of what customers are willing to pay and give businesses an advantage to optimize prices daily, which means that companies need to elevate their pricing strategy.
A successful pricing strategy is depended on several factors such as value proposition, competitive data, insight into customer segments, and perceptions. Look at your company‘s pricing and what can be improved. Create a solid pricing strategy plan, and your company will succeed in its field.
