The selling product or service price is determined by adding a markup to the production cost or the costs incured while providing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost plus pricing formula is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Selling Price = Cost + (Cost x Markup Percentage)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cost refers to the total expenses, direct (materials and labor) and indirect (overhead expenses and administrative costs) costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Markup Percentage represents the desired profit margin usually based on the industry standards, market conditions, and business goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple and transparent eCommerce pricing strategy that ensures cost recovery and desired profitability, however, ignores market dynamics, competitors&#8217; prices, and customer behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Value-Based Pricing Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pricing-strategy.png\" alt=\"value based pricing strategy\" class=\"wp-image-5841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pricing-strategy.png 600w, https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pricing-strategy-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The price is set based on what the manufacturer\/seller perceives a consumer is willing to pay for a particular product at a certain time. The price they\u2019re willing to pay can be different during the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the eCommerce pricing strategies, this one is the hardest to implement. Why is that the case? Well, it requires extensive market research and a deep <a href=\"https:\/\/hospitalityinsights.ehl.edu\/understanding-consumer-behavior\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"understanding of customer behavior (opens in a new tab)\">understanding of customer behavior<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies that offer unique or highly valuable products can take advantage of this strategy more than companies that sell everyday, regular products. For example, you can\u2019t apply this strategy to bread, but you can to a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Penetration Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the eCommerce pricing strategies that is meant for new products is penetration pricing. The main thing is that your online store wants to present a product to customers and attract them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how are you going to do that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, you can offer the product at a lower price in the beginning. The lower price will make customers aware of the product, and they\u2019ll start buying it. After the initial time, the price of the product will go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The logic is that the people will stay because they like the product, and don\u2019t want to change it for another type\/brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bundle Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bogof-1.jpg\" alt=\"bundle pricing strategy\" class=\"wp-image-8240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bogof-1.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bogof-1-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is one of the eCommerce pricing strategies that you must have seen. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-bundle-pricing-strategy\/\">bundle pricing strategy<\/a> is about selling more and combining an unpopular or new product with a popular one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two basic types of&nbsp; bundle pricing strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pure bundling &#8211; <\/strong>this means that the products are exclusively sold together &#8211; so you cannot buy some of them separately. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixed bundling<\/strong> &#8211; means that customers can pick which products the bundle is going to consist of.&nbsp; The best example of this strategy is BOGOF deals like \u201cBuy one, get one free\u201d. This strategy isn\u2019t only popular in selling goods, but in selling services as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dynamic Pricing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/feat_dynamic_price.jpg\" alt=\"dynamic pricing strategy\" class=\"wp-image-5726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/feat_dynamic_price.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/feat_dynamic_price-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular eCommerce pricing strategies nowadays is dynamic pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic pricing offers the same price for everybody and that price is always changing due to different market conditions. Three factors that you have to take into consideration when pricing the products are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong>supply<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>demand<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>competitor\u2019s behavior<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of dynamic pricing strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Segmented pricing<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time-based pricing<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changing market conditions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peak pricing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said, this strategy is very common &#8211; but it works better for some industries than for others. The best <a href=\"https:\/\/pros.com\/learn\/airlines-blog\/what-exactly-is-dynamic-pricing-airline-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"example is the airfare industry (opens in a new tab)\">example is the airfare industry<\/a>. Almost every company in the industry mentioned is using dynamic pricing &#8211; charging more to business travelers who are not flexible with the travel dates and often have to buy tickets at the last moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prestige Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The tactic with prestige pricing is setting the price at the highest level, to create an impression of the highest quality. Since this strategy is closely related to the brand perception you want to create, it is also referred to as image pricing. The logic behind this strategy is to appeal to people\u2019s emotions and their willingness to own something special and prestigious. When you are buying a product with a prestige price tag, you are not only paying for the product itself, you are paying for the fact that you are financially capable of owning something expensive or very limited. The product becomes a sort of status symbol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the successful examples are coming from the fashion, automotive, airline, and tech industries. One of the most obvious examples is probably Hermes, which is keeping the price point very high for their products. They mastered the prestige pricing so well and set their brand so high on the level of luxury that even some other prestige brands team up with them to make their products more prestigious. We are talking about Apple, which is also known for its prestige pricing strategies, but they still joined forces with Hermes, to create an even more high-end product version &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AirTag Hermes.&nbsp; (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/select-airtag-hermes\" target=\"_blank\">AirTag Hermes.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promotional Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Promotional pricing is a popular pricing method businesses implement when aiming for a quick sales boost by temporary price reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for successful implementation of this pricing strategy, it&#8217;s not crucial to drug down the prices, but to create a sense of urgency. Some of the techniques to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buy one get one (BOGO) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Percentage discounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Coupons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Loyalty programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seasonal discounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price Skimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Unlike the prestige or premium pricing, company implements price skimming to set high initial prices and then start lowering them over time. It got its name because companies are \u201cskimming\u201d customer segments by lowering the price. The price is high at the beginning when the product is new and lonely on the market, so the company is appealing to the early adopters who are not price-sensitive. This allows companies to make up for the production cost faster, and then, they start lowering the price to reach other, more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/dealing-price-sensitive-customers-strategies-success-perikles-vrouvas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"price-sensitive customers (opens in a new tab)\">price-sensitive customers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price skimming is commonly used in the tech industry, so it is easy to find some examples there. Apple is one of the most famous companies to use this strategy regularly. When they introduce a new smartphone, with some new and some improved features, the phone has a relatively high price. After that, they start lowering the price gradually until the next-generation smartphone is launched, when it takes over the \u201cmost expensive\u201d position, while the previous version starts to look like a more reasonable deal for the price-sensitive customers who are not that interested in having the most recent, cutting edge technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premium Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, not all customers are looking for the cheapest price. For some of them, price is a synonym for quality. Therefore, trying to win them over by using lower prices won\u2019t be extremely helpful. That brings us to the premium pricing strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rolex.png\" alt=\"premium pricing strategy\" class=\"wp-image-8241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rolex.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rolex-768x387.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Unlike other eCommerce pricing strategies, premium pricing works differently &#8211; a business is supposed to set a higher price and stick to it! Everyone knows how luxury brands create their image around a high price. The idea of having something exclusive is what sells the brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, not every business is suitable for using premium pricing. To use it successfully, some supporting factors need to be present &#8211; the company\u2019s reputation, customer loyalty, and knowing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdc.ca\/en\/articles-tools\/marketing-sales-export\/marketing\/finding-your-unique-selling-point#:~:text=What%20is%20a%20unique%20selling,they%20care%20about%20the%20most.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"USP (unique selling point) (opens in a new tab)\">USP (unique selling point)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, however, want to offer your product to a mass market, then it would be smarter to keep looking for other pricing strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Competitive Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition-based pricing, as its name suggests, is a pricing strategy where you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/competitor-price-tracking-how-to-monitor-your-competitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"consider the prices of your competitors (opens in a new tab)\">consider the prices of your competitors<\/a> in the process of setting your product\u2019s prices. This method is used for homogeneous products in highly competitive markets and is also referred to as market-oriented pricing. There are 3 possible options for conducting this tactic: you can go above the price of your competitors, you can follow the price, trying to keep in line with it, or you can go below the competition\u2019s price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-known example is the story behind Samsung\u2019s and Apple\u2019s competitive pricing. Being the two most successful smartphone brands, it is expected for them to look at each other while making their pricing decisions. And this is exactly what happens. Usually, Samsung follows Apple when announcing its flagship products, which allows them to play around with the prices. What they usually do, is that they set a slightly lower price for most of the products, making their offer a better value for money deal. However, on some occasions, their most premium model is set to have a higher price than Apple, to make it look more prestigious which could be considered prestige pricing as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Psychological pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using psychological rules in the process of setting the product price is called psychological pricing. So, this is not a pricing strategy on its own, but rather a wider term used to describe any pricing tactic designed to use people\u2019s minds to increase sales. The goal of any strategy of this kind should be to make people decide by emotions instead of rational thinking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Products Are Priced - The Psychology Of Pricing\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KYqvqScg_j8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous psychological pricing techniques is so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/charm-pricing\/\">charm pricing<\/a>, odd-even pricing, or simply nine-ending pricing. The idea is to make the price look considerably smaller since the customers read the price usually from left to right, so the first or the first two digits stay in their mind, while they tend to oversee the digits after the \u201c.\u201d This makes room for retailers to set the price at 19.99 instead of 20 since our minds will tell us that the first option is cheaper than the second one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geographic pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor that needs to be considered when setting a pricing strategy is the geographical location. It\u2019s so important that it has turned into a whole new separate strategy &#8211; geographic pricing. Nowadays, even the smallest brands can have customers from different countries. That implies more effort being invested into pricing decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/geographic-pricing.png\" alt=\"geographic pricing strategies\" class=\"wp-image-8242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/geographic-pricing.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.price2spy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/geographic-pricing-768x387.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Different locations mean different languages, currencies, and shipping fees. When ordering something from another country, transparency is the key. In case your business wants help from a price monitoring tool, things can get a bit complicated.

But, since it\u2019s inevitable to have it, everyone is trying their best to fight back. You know how they say that everything is allowed in love and war, but that\u2019s not the case here. Why? Well, not all pricing strategies are legal. One of those illegal ones is predatory pricing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Predatory pricing is an illegal practice of setting the prices so low that all the competition gets eliminated. As a result, markets become more open to monopolies. This pricing strategy is mostly done by a dominant company in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Flexible Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When practicing flexible pricing, a final price is negotiable. Sellers and consumers can discuss prices in their own favor, to increase or decrease them from the set price. Flexible pricing strategy is commonly used in tailor-made industries and highly competitive markets such as auto and construction industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows retailers to set different product price depending on the customer and geographical locations. Strategy can be implemented concerning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> Market <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Timing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies that implement flexible pricing should be cautious about their online reputation and brand image.
