  6. Overriding Goal • Achieve a commanding position in the market segment(s) served. Not to compete in every market segment the product might conceivably fit Davidow, p. 116

  7. Select the Pricing Objective • Maximize current profit • Maximize market skimming • Maximize sales growth (penetration) • Product/quality leadership

  8. Session 7 Objectives • Finish pricing strategy • Describe the communications process and its implications for effective message design. • Describe six types of communications objectives and their relationship to the elements of the promotion mix. • Describe the elements of the promotion/ communication mix • Use a promotional calendar to assure the development of integrated marketing communications.

  9. Pricing Sensitivity Factors Customers are less price sensitive if: • the product is highly innovative • the product is more distinctive than competition • there are few substitutes • product is used in conjunction with assets previously bought • product is assumed to have high quality

  10. 3. Estimate Costs • Variable Costs • Fixed Costs • Other Cost Concepts • Target Costing • Experience Curve

  11. Analyze Competitors’ Costs, Prices, Offers

  12. Select a Pricing Method • Mark-up Pricing - “Cost Plus”

  13. Mark-Up or Cost-Plus Pricing • Mark-up = % profit based on cost Selling Price - Cost Cost • To set price based on a desired mark-up (also called Cost-Plus . . . Cost + some %) • Cost = $25; Desired mark-up = 20% • $25 x 1.20 = $30.00

  14. 1) 10 lawns, weekly (200 lawns) 2) 10 lawns, every 2 wks (100 lawns) 3) 5 lawns, every 2 wks ( 50 lawns) 4) 10 lawns, 2 times/wk (400 lawns) 5) 20 lawns, 2 times/wk (800 lawns) $ 9.00 $12.00 $18.00 $ 7.50 $ 6.75 Demand Price/lawn Example of The “Cost-Plus” Delusion • Over priced in weak markets • Under priced in strong markets

  15. Select a Pricing Method • Mark-up Pricing - “Cost Plus” • Target Return Pricing

  16. Target Return Pricing Gizmo mfg. invested $1MM; wants 20% ROI; Fixed cost = $300,000; variable cost = $10/unit Estimate = 50,000 unit sales (therefore, fixed cost/unit = $6). What is the price? Target-return price = unit cost + desired return X invested capital unit sales Target-return price = $16 + $200,000 = $20 50,000

  17. Select a Pricing Method • Mark-up Pricing - “Cost Plus” • Target Return Pricing • Perceived Value Pricing

  18. Determining Perceived Value • What value is placed on the end result? • The cost of alternative solutions to the customer. • A function of: • Prices of comparable (though not identical) products • The “value” (+/-) of the product’s differences vs. the competitive offering • The value of the “Whole Product”

  19. Device Pricing vs. Whole Product Pricing • Value of any product to its market is strongly influenced by prices of competitive products. • Competitive “devices” are analyzed, but “products” are priced. • Product “features” have different values: • Customer service • Warranties • Distribution channels (e.g., convenience) • The “sum” of the features makes up the “product” Moore, p. 110; Davidow, p. 106
