Pricing Strategy
Pricing New Products
Price Skimming is charging the
highest possible price buyers who
want the product will pay
Penetration price is a low price
designed to help a product enter the
market and gain market share rapidly
Psychological Pricing encourages purchasing based on
emotional rather than rational responses to price
Even/Odd Pricing assumes people will buy
more of a product for $9.99 than $10 because it
seems to be a bargain at the odd price
Symbolic/Prestige Pricing assumes that high
prices connote high quality
Discounts
• Temporary price reductions often employed to boost sales

that bridge the gap between a product’s
manufacturer and the ultimate consumer
Middlemen create time, place and ownership utility
