• Differential Pricing– same brand sold at different prices to consumers
• Competitive Pricing– prices are set to exploit competitive position
• Product Line Pricing– related brands are price to exploit mutual dependencies

Differential Pricing Strategies
• Second Market Discounting– a firm sells its product in a secondary market at a discount
• Periodic Discounting– hold price during “prime period” and discount to take advantage of
price sensitive customers
• Random Discounting (i.e., sales)– rely on uninformed consumer to pay regular price, yet take
advantage of those that search for the lowest price

Competitive Pricing Strategies
• Penetration Pricing– pricing as low as possible to take control of the market and keep competition out
• Experience Curve Pricing– exploiting experience in manufacturing, marketing, etc. and economies of scale
in pricing
• Price Signaling– use price to signal quality
• Geographic Pricing– basing price on geographic area

Product Line Pricing Strategies
• Price Bundling– pricing two or more products as a bundle at a price better than the aggregate prices of the
items in the bundle
• Premium Pricing– pricing different versions of the product at different prices to exploit consumer
heterogeneity in demand
• Image Pricing – a firm brings out an identical version of its current product with a different name (or
model number) and a higher price
• Complementary– pricing such that the loss in the sales of one product is covered by the profit from the sale
of a relate product
• captive pricing
• two-part pricing
• loss leader pricing
