This PPT slide, part of the 133-slide Pricing Strategy Workshop PowerPoint presentation, outlines a critical step in pricing strategy, emphasizing the importance of understanding a product's price band to optimize sales volume and margin. It presents a two-dimensional graph where the vertical axis represents customer perception of value, while the horizontal axis indicates competitive intensity. This framework categorizes products into 4 segments: Specialty, Engineered Commodity, Commodity, and a threshold area.
Products classified as Specialty tend to have a high customer perception of value and a wide price band. This suggests that customers are willing to pay a premium for unique features or benefits. In contrast, Commodities are positioned at the lower end of the value perception scale, with a narrow price band, indicating that price competition is fierce and differentiation is minimal.
The slide also illustrates how multiple price points within the price band can enhance both volume and margin. The graph shows a bell curve representing the relationship between price and sales volume, highlighting that as prices increase, additional volume and margin can be achieved within the perceived price band.
Two main causes for price bands are identified: supplier-driven factors, such as cost variations and price structure, and customer-driven factors, including the buying process and competitive intensity. Understanding these dynamics allows companies to strategically position their products within the market, ensuring they capture maximum value while remaining competitive. This slide serves as a valuable tool for executives looking to refine their pricing strategies and enhance overall profitability.
