Marketing Tips

How to build a pricing strategy
share to:42K

You need to decide whether to use cost-plus or value-based pricing.


It's important to find out what your competitors offer and what they charge. If you phone your rivals and ask them for a quote, you can use this information as a framework.


It's probably unwise to set your prices too much higher or lower without a good reason. If you price too low, you will just be throwing away profit. If you price too high, you will lose customers, unless you can offer them something they can't get elsewhere.


The perception of your product or service is also important. In many markets, a high price contributes to the perception of your product as being of premium value. This might encourage customers to buy from you - or it might deter price-conscious customers.


It can be useful to charge different prices to different customers, eg to customers who purchase repeatedly, or buy add-on or related products, as a thank you for their loyalty. Bear in mind that customers who are expensive to satisfy will be less profitable, unless you charge them higher prices. One-off sales may cost you more than repeat business.


Whatever prices you set, check that they cover your costs and can deliver a profit.
