PRICING STRATEGIES for “the people’s car” Team - Brazen Presented by: Dr. Amrita Singh Alok Kumar Ajay Singh AnushreePandit GaganbirKaur JatinSaxena Jyoti IshratBatool
WHAT MAKES IT SO CHEAP! • The TATA Nano uses plastics and adhesives rather than welding. • Partially using inexpensive polymers or biodegradable plastics instead of a full metal body. • It has no AC, no power steering, no power windows.
Why should People Buy Nano.. • Low price and covers basic needs of a car. • Its look cute and attractive • Better facilities for servicing and maintenance • Easy finance
Why the price hike? Tata said that “ expensive lending rates, higher fuel costs, and inflation hit margins during the last year is forcing us to pass on the costs to its customers.” Increasing input costs, especially that of steel and other commodities like rubber, had put pressure on margins.
TATA PRICING OBJECTIVES • Survival • Maximizing market share • Keeping the price range near 1 lakh • Discouraging potential competition
TATA’S PRICING STRATEGY Though the one lack tag was not fixed by TATA group, it was the word of mouth of people which fixed the range. This expectation of people creates a big challenge for the company. To accept this challenge the following strategies are followed: • Increasing market share • Penetration pricing • Low pricing policy with minimum profit margin
AVAILABLE FINANCING SCHEMES • Tata Motors Finance (TMF) will provide finance up to 90% for the Nano at easy rates. • the company has announced a four-year or 60,000 kilometer manufacturing warranty at no extra cost. • Loan within 48 hours • comprehensive maintenance contract at Rs. 99 per month for all new customers.
Proposed pricing objectives • Survival • New market penetration • Increase the perceived value of Nano • Increase market share
PROPOSED PRICING STRATEGIES • Penetration pricing • Target costing • Low pricing policy with minimum profit margin which is only 2% • Perceived value pricing • Increased market growth • Discouraged potential competition
Selecting the final pricing • Influence of other marketing mix • Cash discount
