Learning Targets

• I can discuss pricing strategies used by businesses to increase sales.

• I can list five steps for determining price.

Pricing Considerations

• Price – The amount that customers pay for products and services.

• Pricing – The process of establishing and communicating the value of goods and services to customers.

WHEN DETERMINING THE PRICE TO BE CHARGED, YOU MUST TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE COST OF THE MERCHANDISE

OPERATING EXPENSES, AND THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF PROFIT.

Pricing Consideration

• Operating Expenses all of the costs associated with running your business.– Utilities, salaries, taxes.

• Markup the amount that is added to the cost of an item for sale to cover operating expenses and allow for a profit.

Pricing Policies

• One-Price Policy – all customers pay the same price for a product.

• Flexible Pricing Policy – customers negotiate prices within a range.

• Geographic Pricing – allows pricing variations based upon geographic location,– Distribution costs, local competition, local taxes.

Pricing Policies

• Price Lines distinct categories of merchandise based upon price, quality, and features.– Ralph Lauren has Polo as its high-end price line

and Chaps as the next best alternative at a lower price.

Pricing Strategies

• Psychological Pricing – creating an illusion for customers.

• Example:– Odd-even pricing

• A DVD that is $29.98 is seen as being considerably less expensive than a $30 DVD.

Pricing Strategies

• Prestige Pricing – when retailers charge higher-than-average prices for merchandise and target customers seeking status and high quality.

Pricing Strategies

• Volume Pricing – stores like Wal-Mart receive merchandise at a lower cost from its suppliers, so they are able to pass those savings along to the customer.

Pricing Strategies

• Promotions – to get more customers in the sale, retailers may use promotions.

• Loss-leader pricing the willingness to take a loss on the reduced prices of selected items in order to create more customer traffic.

Pricing Strategies

• Quantity Discounts – customers receive a financial benefit for buying a larger quantity.

Pricing Strategies

• Trade-In Allowances – customers may be given an allowance for old merchandise when making a new purchase.

5 Steps to Determining the Price

1. Establish Price Objectives1. Percentage of profit you want to earn.

2. Determine the cost of the product or service.1. Retail price must cover the total cost and allow

for a profit.

3. Estimate the consumer demand.4. Study the competition.5. Decide on a pricing strategy.

Marketing Math Problems

1. A computer software retailer used a markup rate of 40%. Find the selling price of a computer game that cost the retailer $25.2. A golf shop pays its wholesaler $40 for a certain club, and then sells it to a golfer for$75. What is the markup rate?3. A shoe store uses a 40% markup on cost. Find the cost of a pair of shoes that sells for$63.

Marketing Math Answers1. The markup is 40% of the $25 cost, so the markup is: (0.40)(25) = 10Then the selling price, being the cost plus markup, is: 25 + 10 = 35The item sold for $35.2. 75 – 40 = 35Find the relative markup over the original price, or the markup rate: ($35) is (some percent) of ($40), or 35 = (x)(40)...so the relative markup over the original price is:35 ÷ 40 = x = 0.875Since x stands for a percentage, I need to remember to convert this decimal value to the corresponding percentage.The markup rate is 87.5%.3. I will let "x" be the cost. Then the markup, being 40% of the cost, is0.40x. And the selling price of $63 is the sum of the cost and markup, so:63 = x + 0.40x 63 = 1x + 0.40x 63 = 1.40x 63 ÷ 1.40 = x= 45 The shoes cost the store $45.
