Studying of the data under analysis reveals the changes in pricing strategy over the duration of the 6 simulations. When specific reference is made to the Unit Price it can be noted that for the first 3 simulations the Unit Price for the backpack, targeted primarily towards Urban Computers, was $45. But, in the 4th and 5th rounds of sales, the Unit Price was decreased to $34. Lastly, in the 6th and final simulation of analysis the Unit Price was decreased to a final price of $28. Analysis of the Price Score KPI suggests varying target segment reaction to the Unit Price of the backpack. In the first three rounds, the Price Score was 4, indicating $45 as being an ideal price for the target segment. However, when the Unit Price was decreased to $34 in the 4th and 5th simulations, the Price Score decreased to 3, indicating that $34 was extremely too low for the target segment. This was also the case in the 6th quarter, with the Unit Price of $28 also receiving a Price Score KPI of 3. However, when the Price Score is compared against competitor scores, it is apparent that the firm’s backpack was priced consistently more accurately than competitors.…

Purchased product costs are marked up by 15% to cover the cost of warehousing, distribution, and freight. An additional markup is added to cover the approximate cost for general and selling expenses, plus an allowance for profit. The markups were determined at the start of each year, based on actual expenses in prior years and general industry and competitive trends. Actual prices to customers were adjusted based on long-term relationships and competitive situations, but were generally independent of the specific level of service provided to that customer, except for desk top deliveries.…
Have you ever wondered why most of the price tags end with .90? .90 pricing is called psychological pricing. It has some important effects upon people.Mostly, it gives the impression that item has the lowest price.Even people know the fact that 19.90 almost has no difference from 20.00, which could be acceptable as a high price, they find it cheaper.Additionally, according to Thomas and Morwits’s hypothesis, people tend to focus on the left digits rather than the right ones.No matter what the reason is, the question stands still there.Why do we still believe in that 19.90 is alot more cheaper than 20.00 and our shopping urges force us to buy that product? In my opinion, answer lays under our judges.Instead of giving rational reactions to the prices, we use our logical judges, which even we dont find reasonable but attractive and that is what mass want us to do, to buy it.…

Nine endings can easily be seen everywhere: stationeries of $1.99, $4.99 in bookstores, cars of $2,999, $5,999 in a dealership, real estates of $199,999, $299,999 on the market. It is interesting how such a small change can make a price tag seem significantly lower than another one of just one cent or one dollar higher, as well as greatly affect consumers’ decision. Even the smartest shoppers can fall for this little trick. For a lot of times I found myself wondering why I bought goods of the best prices but ended up with a large bill. Later I realized that I had fallen victim of the usage of the left digit effect in pricing strategy. However, it is fascinating to learn about how the application of such a simple effect turns out to have a great impact on people’s mind without their even being aware of it.…
eBay was one of the first online marketplaces on the world-wide web. It was created as an online auction website, but it has now became the largest online marketplace that exists. eBay’s success truly created a pricing revolution by allowing buyers to determine what they would pay for an item; the result pleases both sides because customers gain control and receive the best possible price while sellers make good margins due to the site’s efficiency and wide reach. This is what we know as perceived value pricing: The customers value perception is estimated on the image of the product etc., then the price is determined, and later this will be observed. Nowadays even companies first check items on eBay before they estimate the price they will charge for their products.…
