Price Planning and Strategy

Major Factors Influencing Price Decision Internal factors Company (pricing) objectives Marketing mix value to customers Costs Impact on other products Product differentiation External factors Buyers’ Perception of value Demand Economic considerations Ethical considerations Competition Suppliers Government/legal considerations

Customers’ Cost-in-Use Components A broad perspective needed in examining the costs a particular alternative may present for the buyer. Rather than making a decision on the basis of price alone, organizational buyers emphasize the total cost in use of a particular product or service. Customers’ Cost-in-Use Components

Canadian Competition Act Makes it illegal to discriminate in price among different buyers of commodities of like grade and quality when the effects result in a reduction in competition at the sellers’ level, at the buyers’ level, or at the buyers’ customers’ level. Different prices can be charged if the difference does not exceed the difference in actual costs of serving the different customers. For Example: There could be a transportation cost difference if one customer was closer than the other; There could be a packaging cost difference if one customer required special packaging.

Legal Considerations Price Fixing – collaboration among sellers Exchanging Any Price Information – collaboration among sellers Predatory Pricing – pricing at or below cost to drive competition out of the market. Question: If China sets an exchange rate that significantly under values their currency, their product costs become low versus U.S. produced products. If entire U.S. industries are driven out of business, is China guilty of predatory pricing (or are they just aggressive competitors)? This question would be an issue for the World Trade Organization.

Key Components of the Industrial Pricing Process There is no easy formula for pricing an industrial product or service. The decision is multidimensional. The each interactive variable assumes significance. Fig. 15.2

Price Objectives The pricing decision must be based on objectives congruent with marketing and overall corporate objectives. The marketer starts with principal objectives and adds collateral pricing goals: 1. Achieving a target return on investment, 2. Achieving a market-share goal, 3. Meeting competition.

Price Elasticity of Demand The rate of percentage change in quantity demanded attributable to the percentage change in price. Factors of price elasticity, - The ease with which customers can compare alternatives. - The importance of the product in the cost structure. - The value that the product represents to a customer.

Pricing Methods Marginal pricing (contribution pricing): Attempts to maximize profits by producing number of units at which marginal cost is just less than or equal to marginal revenue. Economic value to the customer: A higher price will be paid by buyers who perceive a greater value or benefit to them than what they would receive from buying a competitive product. Break-even analysis: The point at which a firm’s revenue will equal its total fixed and variable costs at a given price. Target return on investment pricing: An annual ROI target (i.e., ROI of 20% over cost). Typically done by a mix of individual product markups over cost that average the target ROI. Cost-plus pricing: A version of target ROI pricing in which all products are marked up by the same percentage.

Target Costing Target costing features a design-to-cost philosophy that begins by examining market conditions: - Identifies and targets the most attractive market segments. - Determines what level of quality and types of product attributes will be required to succeed.

Selected Cost Comparison Issues: Followers Versus the Pioneer Under certain conditions, followers into a market may confront lower initial costs than did the pioneer. By failing to recognize potential cost advantages of late entrants, the business marketer can dramatically overstate costs differences.

Zero-Based Pricing Zero-based pricing (ZBP): Actually not a pricing method as much as it is the accounting of the method to the customer, and the resulting requirement to maintain consistency. With ZBP, buyers do not accept that an increase in price of one cost element will necessarily justify a price increase. Supplier is required to show actual cost of every element (from base zero)—perhaps other elements have gone down in cost; perhaps supplier has allowed some controllable costs to increase and should not pass those along to customer; perhaps supplier’s profit margin is already too high.

Pricing New Products Skimming Penetration is appropriate when there is - Appropriate for a distinctly new product, provides the firm with an opportunity to profitably reach market segments that are not sensitive to the high initial price. - Enables the marketer to capture early profits. - Enables the innovator to recover high developmental costs more quickly. Penetration is appropriate when there is - High price elasticity of demand, - Strong threat of imminent competition, - Opportunity for a substantial reduction in production costs as volume expands.

Pricing Across Product Life Cycle (Life-Cycle Costing) Introduction phase: Price skimming: Introductory price set relatively high, thereby attracting buyers at top of product’s demand curve. Market penetration pricing: Low price is used as an entering wedge. Growth phase Maturity phase Decline stage

Price-Leadership Strategy Price-leadership strategy: One or a very few firms initiate price changes, with most or all the other firms in the industry following suit. When price leadership prevails, price competition does not exist. The burden of making critical pricing decisions is placed on leading firm(s) and others simply follow the leader.

Competitive Bidding Competitive bidding: Buyer sends inquiries (requests for quotations - RFQs) to firms able to produce in conformity with requested requirements. Requests for proposals (RFPs) involve the same process, but here buyer is signaling that everything is preliminary and that a future RFQ will be sent once specifics are determined from the best proposals.

The Process that Leads to a Competitive Price Bid The many factors that influence the pricing decisions of a strategic marketer have been listed on a previous slide. The estimated costs to product the product and supply the services the customer requires is almost always a major element in the final bid price. The process of estimating internal costs should closely analyzed for accuracy. The overstatement of costs can mean lost bids.
