  2. Raising Prices and Profit Margin • Increasing prices will increase profit margin • Increase price without alienating existing customers • Consumer Price Index increase 3% in 2011

  3. How Not to Set Prices • “Going with your gut” • Priced too low • Cost-based pricing • Leaves room for more profit margin • Competitor-based pricing • Not bad if identical, but can cause price war • Salespeople-based pricing • Incentive for too low of price • Video

  4. Raising Prices Eliminate discounts or change terms and conditions Cost increases = price increases Test price increase Charge for add-on services Redesign or re-launch “Premium” version

  5. Discounts • Don’t let one time deals turn into company policy • Customer behavior • Cash? Pay back early?

  6. Avoiding Price Wars • “Price buyers” • Only do business when profitable • Excess inventory • Lower price, take away value • They rarely change and are not loyal customers • Example: • AT&T sells iPhone 3gs for $49

  7. Redbox • In 2011 increased prices from $1 to $1.20 • Right as Netflix increased prices and lost customer • Do you still use RedBox even after price increase? • If yes, would you pay $1.50/night? • If no, what would you be willing to pay per night?

  8. Netflix • Increased prices by splitting up services • Didn’t add value • Drastically raised prices from reference price (Huge % increase) • Perceived value was reference price • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4d-di_n3QE
