This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Strategic Pricing Framework and Tactics PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding price elasticity, distinguishing between long-term and short-term factors influencing primary demand. It emphasizes that long-term elasticity primarily revolves around the absolute value of a product to individuals or companies. This suggests that over time, consumers and businesses assess the worth of a product based on its inherent value rather than transient factors.

In contrast, the short-term elasticity is constrained by factors like availability and awareness. The slide indicates that these elements are often overlooked in standard market research exercises, which typically do not account for immediate consumer perceptions and market conditions. This highlights a potential gap in traditional analytical approaches, suggesting that a more nuanced understanding of consumer behavior is necessary for effective pricing strategies.

The second row of the slide reiterates the distinction between long-term and short-term considerations. It notes that short-term elasticity is also limited by "switching barriers," which can prevent consumers from changing their purchasing decisions even when alternatives are available. This insight is crucial for businesses looking to navigate pricing strategies effectively, as it underscores the importance of addressing both consumer awareness and the obstacles they face in switching to different products.

Overall, this slide serves as a critical reminder for executives to consider both long-term value assessments and short-term market dynamics when formulating pricing strategies. Understanding these elasticities can lead to more informed decision-making and ultimately better alignment with market demands.
