Segmentation & Pricing
What is a bargain shopper?
![Page 11: Chapter 13 pricing pharmacist services](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/5875e9a51a28ab7d5a8b6dc1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of Bargain ShoppersOffline deal-seekers. Typically over age 55 and love to find deals in stores. Online and digital are less important
Deal thrillers. Deal thrillers love getting a deal but are also loyal to specific brands.
Deal takers. Highly educated and affluent consumers who do not seek deals but will accept one if offered.
Deal indifferents. Largest segment of the population, and they do not respond to deals. Most only shop when they have a specific need, and coupons are wasted on them.
Deal-seeker influentials. Constantly look for the best online, offline and mobile deals. Tend to be young, highly educated, socially active consumers who love shopping but think paying full price is for suckers.
Deal rejectors. Hate shopping, preferring convenience over everything. They tend to be male, older, and willing to pay more for convenience.

CONSIDERATIONS IN PRICING
PERSPECTIVE
• customers/stakeholders
MARKET
• B2C, B2B, and/or B2G
PRODUCT
• non-durable goods, durable goods, services
BUYER’S POWER
• Intensity of competition, ease of market entry, availability of substitutes

PRICING AND STRATEGYPricing is driven by business strategy
Low cost strategies require prices that undercut competitors
Luxury strategies allow prices above the competition

Reframing the low cost argument
Making a business case to payers (B2B) that pharmacists add value by:
• improving medication adherence,
• coordinating care,
• promoting health, and
• reducing avoidable emergency department visits, doctors visits, hospitalizations, and nursing home admissions

PRICE AND BRANDING A strong brand can yield a higher price. The brand is a promise that tells buyers that "if you buy this brand, it will be worth the extra you pay for it."
Pharmacists can garner higher prices by communicating a strong story about their brand and its value.
