Pricing about and General Approaches |
A key for a marketing manager setting a price for a product is to find an approximateprice level to use as a reasonable starting point. Four common approaches used to findthis approximate price level are (1) demand-oriented, (2) cost-oriented, (3) profit-oriented, and (4) competition-oriented approaches (see Figure 11–2). Although theseapproaches are discussed separately below, some of them overlap, and an effectivemarketing manager will consider several in selecting an approximate price level. |
|
Demandoriented |
penetration/skimming/prestige |
|
Cost oriented |
With cost-oriented approaches, a price setter stresses the cost side of the pricing prob-lem, not the demand side. Price is set by looking at the production and marketing costsand then adding enough to cover direct expenses, overhead, and profit. |
|
Profitoriented |
A price setter may choose to balance both revenues and costs to set price using profit-oriented approaches. Thesemight either involve a target of a specific dollar volume of profit or express this target profit as a percentage of sales or investment. |
|
Competitionoriented |
Rather than emphasize demand, cost, or profit factors, a price setter can stress whatcompetitors or “the market” is doing. |
|
Demand Curve; movement and shift, elasticity |

|
predatory pricing |
Predatory pricing is the practice of charging a very low pricefor a product with the intent of driving competitors out of business. Once com-petitors have been driven out, the firm raises its prices. Proving the presence ofthis practice has been difficult and expensive because it must be shown that thepredator explicitly attempted to destroy a competitor and the predatory price wasbelow the defendant’s average cost. |

Direct Channel Channel A represents a direct channel because the producer andthe ultimate consumers deal directly with each other. Many products and services aredistributed this way. Many insurance companies sell their services using a direct chan-nel and branch sales offices. Indirect Channel The remaining three channel forms in Figure 12–3 are indi-rect channels because intermediaries are inserted between the producer and consum-ers and perform numerous channel functions. |
|
cross channel shopper |

|
Vertical Marketing systems |
Professionally managed andcentrally coordinatedmarketing channels designedto achieve channel economiesand maximum marketingimpact. |
|
Corporate vertical marketing systems; forward/backward integration |
The combination of successive stages of production anddistribution under a single ownership is a corporate vertical marketing system. Forexample, a producer might own the intermediary at the next level down in the channel.This practice, called forward integration, is exemplified by Ralph Lauren, which man-ufactures clothing and also owns apparel shops |
|

|
Competition based pricing; customary |
For some products where tradition, a standardized channelof distribution, or other competitive factors dictate the price, customary pricing isused. Candy bars offered through standard vending machines have a customary priceof 75 cents, and a significant departure from this price may result in a loss of sales forthe manufacturer. Hershey typically has changed the amount of chocolate in its candybars depending on the price of raw chocolate rather than vary its customary retail priceso that it can continue selling through vending machines. |
|
Deceptive pricing. |
Price deals that mislead consumers fall into the category ofdeceptive pricing. Deceptive pricing is outlawed by the Federal Trade Commis-sion. Bait and switch is an example of deceptive pricing. This occurs when a firmoffers a very low price on a product (the bait) to attract customers to a store.Once in the store, the customer is persuaded to purchase a higher-priced item(the switch) using a variety of tricks, including (1) degrading the promoted itemand (2) not having the promised item in stock or refusing to take orders for it. |

However, not all price differencesare illegal; only those that substantially lessen competition or create a monopolyare deemed unlawful. |
|
