OUR PHILOSOPHY

Pricing strategy can be one of the hardest things to work out.  How much to charge? How much is too much? Am I selling myself short?  Companies consistently undercharge for products despite significant sums invested in developing them.

You have only one chance to get new product pricing right. Set prices too high and lose valuable market opportunities. Set prices too low and leave money on the table.

Setting prices for new products doesn’t need to be a guessing game. Market intelligence combined with a strong pricing strategy will win every time.  Setting prices for new products is critical, however often, it’s re-pricing established products that often go overlooked when organisations ignore that the market has changed and re-pricing is imperative to stay in the game.

When you know precisely how customers value your products and services, you are able to set appropriate prices.    Our approach considers that pricing is not always a rational decision.  Customers do not always know why they ‘overpay’ – in fact, consumers rarely make pure rational choices when it comes to pricing!

All this needs to be considered in interpreting the outcomes of a pricing study.
