What Others Do Price Establishing – Highlighting Value Establish and substantiate the reference price for a period that is relative to the length of the sale period, to ensure that the sale period is not longer than the non- sale period. (i.e. that the higher reference price applied for a longer period than the promotional reduced price). This is subject to the minimum 28 days’ price establishment period. The BIS Pricing Practices Guide indicates that a price used as a basis for comparison should be the most recent price available for 28 consecutive days or more, unless the nature of the product or circumstances render this unreasonable (such as in the case of food items).
