Price discounts are commonly used in the business world as incentives for customers. How may
this practice (or its misuse) be deemed unethical?
Customers have a right to assume the most favorable price possible, but discounting causes
a slew of issues for industry leaders. Finally, these issues can have such a negative influence on
profit margins, service quality, and your notoriety that they may endanger their business. Better
options include improving your ability to demonstrate the value of your solution, removing useless
elements from their solution to meet the customer's demands, or moving away from an agreement
that will not be profitable. It may be unethical when used as a forcible tactic to entice customers
to buy early and thus improving profitability in a given year. This would be accurate if the primary
goal is to increase profits. There seem to be undoubtedly valid reasons to offer discounts, but it
has become unethical whenever the intension is by using discounts to boost sales.
