A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PRICING AND REVENUE MANAGEMENT
Pricing Strategy and Model
A pricing strategy should reflect the company’s philosophy on how to acquire, retain, and satisfy customers by sharing value with them fairly. Consequently, a pricing strategy arises from intersections and interactions across information sources, economic frameworks, and specific market characteristics.
In formulating your pricing strategy, we will gain an in-depth understanding of the competitive landscape, perceived value proposition of the company’s products / services, target customer base’s purchasing behavior, role of each category and product / service within the overall business strategy, and customers’ path to purchase.
Equipped with these data-driven insights, the pricing strategy is then defined, and subsequently, the pricing model, which is comprised of the numerous levers at the company’s disposal to leverage (e.g., list prices, promotions, personalized offers, etc.).
Category Pricing Strategy
A category pricing strategy evolves from the company’s overall pricing strategy.
As part of a category pricing strategy, we define the role that each product / service plays within a category, the relationships between products / services, and the price gaps that have to be maintained, all of which set the stage for establishing the list prices of each product / service within the category.
Promotion Strategy
Our experience, which is also backed by BCG research, has shown that 40 – 80% of promotions result in a decrease in sales and / or gross profits.
As part of developing a mass promotion strategy, we will start by defining specific objectives that promotions are to achieve, as well as determine how to effectively measure their effectiveness in achieving the said objectives. We will then assess the effectiveness of prior promotions.
Equipped with these business objectives and data-driven insights, the promotion strategy is then defined.
