PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
PRODUCT
PRICE
Cost-oriented pricing
Demand-oriented pricing
Competition-oriented pricing
Other pricing strategy
3 basic method: 1. Cost-oriented pricing- All cost are added and divided by the
number of products made in order to arrive at the cost per unit produced.
To illustrate, if it costs P40 to make 20 balloons, then the cost per balloon is P2 (40/20). Assuming a 20% mark-up, each balloon should be sold at P2.40
2 different pricing techniques under this method:
1. Cost-plus (as in above illustration)
2. Break-even technique
TOTAL COST= TOTAL SALES
Price- is the value placed on goods and services offered to the public.
This approach is based primarily on how many buyers want or demand the product.
A high price when demand is strong, low price when demand is weak. An unsuspecting buyer maybe charged a higher price while a hesitant
buyer maybe given a lower price.
Competition-oriented pricing Pricing is based chiefly on what his competitors are charging, this
does not mean that it charges exactly the same price as the competitors do but rather it keeps its price constantly higher or lower than competition by certain percentage.
Other pricing strategies
-dictated by the type of target market
-price structure
Demand-oriented pricing
Loss-leader pricing
- here a low price is set for the most popular item hoping to attract many buyers who are expected to buy other goods in the store.
Psychological pricing
- is pricing an item a few centavos below a whole price to give semblance of a discount or savings.
Buy-one take-one
- gives also an impression of a bargain purchase. Target-earnings pricing
-a firm sets the price for its products according to the price that would give the desired earnings or sales.
