Setting a price

When a business is setting the price of a product or service, it needs to consider the following:

  • competition 鈥 Should a business follow the lead of its competitors when it comes to pricing or adopt its own pricing strategy?
  • quality 鈥 Does the product reflect its price?
  • image 鈥 In what ways will the price of a product affect a customer鈥檚 perception of it?
  • production cost 鈥 How will the cost of making the product be reflected in the price?
  • profit per unit 鈥 How much money should a business try to make compared to the cost of each individual product?

Price is always linked to value. Customers will look at a product and think 鈥淚s it worth that?鈥

How businesses will use price as a way to attract customers has resulted in several pricing strategies.
