  1. Pricing Strategy & Tactics – Chs. 1-3 • Define Strategic Pricing & 5 elements of a pricing strategy: (1) Value creation, (2) Price and offer structure (3) Value communication, (4) Pricing policy, & (5) Price setting; • Define Value and explain its role in pricing strategy; • Show how value-based segmentation enables companies to more profitably align its offerings with differences in what consumers are willing to pay; and • Examine mechanisms to maintain segmented structures: (1) Price-offer configuration, (2) Price metrics, & (3) Price fences.

The Strategic Pricing Pyramid Price Level Price setting Pricing Policy Negotiation Tactics & Criteria for Discounting Communicate, Capture, & Share Value Price/Value Communication Communication, Value Selling Tools Price Structure Metrics, Fences, Controls Value Creation Economic Value, Offering Design, Segmentation Create Value Price setting is just the “tip of the iceberg” of a profitable pricing strategy.

  6. Value-Based Pricing Effective pricing strategies should be based on three factors: Competition Costs Pricing Strategy Customers Objective: Maximize the difference between the value created for the customer and the company’s costs to provide that value. The Value-based Pricing Process CUSTOMER VALUE PRICE COST PRODUCT

  7. Value Creation • Defining VALUE • Use Value (Utility) • Monetary gain (or savings) from using a product/service offering • Psychological benefits (or costs) associated with using a product/service offering • Economic Value • Calculated using reference value and differentiation value • Reference Value • Refers to the price of the consumer’s “best” alternative. • Differentiation Value • Refers to the value of whatever differentiates the offering from the alternative(s). Can be positive or negative. Total economic value represents the maximum price that a fully-informed consumer would be willing to pay for a product/service offering.

  8. Economic Value Estimation Framework Costs unique to doing business with you Positive Differentiation Value Negative Differentiation Value Your uniquevaluedelivery Price to capture a share of this value Reference Value Total Economic Value Price of Customer’s Next Best Alternative

  9. Economic Value Estimation Example – Heavy equipment manufacturer Add’l warranty cost = -$1050 Higher residual value = $1200 Parts inventory program savings = $1250 Total offering economic value $79,950 Invoice processing consistency savings = $1500 Differentiation Value = $7,450 How much of the Differentiation Value do you Capture versus Share with your Customers Fuel economy savings = $2200 Increased revenue from higher uptime = $2350 Reference Competitive alternative for this customer = $72,500 Reference price = $72,500

  10. Economic Value Analysis • Step 1: Identify Reference Value • Reference value is calculated as the price of the best perceived alternative, not necessarily the next best competitive alternative, with regard to form, function, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. • Step 2: Estimate Differentiation Value • Determine the value drivers – those attributes that impact customer perceptions and purchase choice • Are they monetary gains or cost savings? • Are they psychological benefits or costs?

  11. Comment regarding differentiation value . . . . In most cases, the components making up differentiation value can be quantified to some extent. Some consumers, however, will pay more for a product simply because of the brand name – despite the fact that the tangible value of the product may be substantially lower than alternatives available to them. Therefore, the brand name can often be a component of the differentiation value (brand equity). What type of differentiation value does a brand name provide?

  12. Economic Value Analysis • Step 1: Identify Reference Value • Reference value is calculated as the price of the best perceived alternative, not necessarily the next best competitive alternative, with regard to form, function, effectiveness, and/or efficacy. • Step 2: Estimate Differentiation Value • Determine the value drivers – those attributes that impact customer perceptions and purchase choice • Are they monetary gains or cost savings? • Are they psychological benefits or costs? • Identify attributes that differentiate between your product and the competitive reference product. What benefits or costs are associated with your product? How can you quantify each benefit and cost? • Gather data that can be used to assign the monetary amount to each value driver (e.g., in-depth customer interviews, surveys, focus groups) • Focus on the underlying customer business model (what drives the business model will typically drive the value perceptions of the customer) • Value drivers can vary across customers & across time • Determine the value derived from a bundle of features

  14. Cost of a Surge (minor) Labor $ 9,000 Incremental materials, fuel $ 6,000 Lost Production (8 hours to restart.) $80,000 $95,000 Pricing Russian TechnologyQuiz Cost of a Surge (major) Labor $ 24,000 Incremental materials, fuel $ 11,000 Equipment (new compressor) $180,000 Lost Production (24 hr. To restart) $240,000 $455,000 Frequency of minor surge per compressor .4 per year Frequency of major surge per compressor = .004 per year

  15. Pricing Russian TechnologyQuiz 1. What is the economic value of this product? 2. How close to this value would customers be willing to pay? 3. Why might customers object to paying the full economic value? 4. What would you do to overcome those objections? What price do you think Compressor Controls should charge for this product & why?

  16. The price of the most basic of commodity products . . . . The relevant question is: Why are consumers willing to pay relatively steep prices for a commodity product?

  17. Price StructureTactics for Pricing Differently Across Segments Market Segmentation – organizing the market into homogeneous groups (or segments) that the firm can effectively & efficiently target. Market Segmentation Selection & Targeting Product/Service Offering Positioning Create Value Product/Service Offering Place/ Channel Promotion/ Communication Pricing Customer Relationship Management Communicate, Capture & Share Value Customer Acquisition Customer Retention Sustain Value Revenue & Profits

  18. High Value A B C D Low Segment Size The Reason for Segmented Pricing A one-size fits all approach to pricing reduces profitability and intensifies customer pricing pressure ….leaves money on the table for these customers and communicates that value does not have to be paid for… 2 Setting price here 1 ….and misses growth opportunities by pricing these customers out of the market 3

  19. Maxim. contribution w/: 1 Price ($10) VC equal to Contribution equals 2 Prices ($15, $8) VC equal to Contribution equals 5 Prices ($20  $6) VC equal to Contribution equals $10 $5 $250 $10 $5 $750 $10 $5 $1750 $10 $5 $0 $10 $5 $0 $2750 $15 $5 $500 $15 $5 $1500 $8 $5 $1050 $8 $5 $750 $8 $5 $0 $3800 $20 $5 $750 $15 $5 $1500 $10 $5 $1750 $8 $5 $750 $6 $5 $200 $4950 Benefits of Price Segmentationwith 5 Segments (A, B, C, D, E) Percent of Market Segment Size Reservation Price = A 5 50 $20 B 15 150 $15 C 35 350 $10 D 25 250 $ 8 E 20 200 $ 6 Total 100% 1000

  20. Careful Analysis is Required to Avoid Nonprofitable Segmentation & Proliferation SKU Velocity Analysis focuses on SKUs that drive a majority of revenue & volume Identify opportunities for SKU rationalization Focus price improvement efforts on the top moving SKUs

Do you buy or leave? You go to the ballpark and discover that there are only premium seats available. Do you buy or leave?

  34. Price Fences • Price Fences are a means to charge different customers different prices. • Types include • Buyer identification fences (e.g., airlines, student/senior, membership) • Purchase location fences (e.g., grocery chains, real estate) • Time purchase fences (e.g., fashion, yield management - hotels, airlines…) • Purchase quantity fences • Volume discount • Order discount • Step discount • Two-part pricing (e.g., printer and cartridges)
