The Profit MotiveBuilding TrafficAchieve greater market shareCreate an imageFurthering social objectives
3 major approaches to pricing
Cost-based Pricing
Demand-based Pricing
Competition-based PricingPrice LeadershipLow Price
Break Even Analysis
Break-Even Point (BEP) = revenues & cost are equal
BEP = Total Fixed Cost (TFC) . Price of a unit – Variable Cost of a
unit (P) (VC)
BEP = TFC/(P – VC)
Other Pricing Strategies
Skimming Price Strategy
Every day low prices = EDLP
High-low pricing strategy = higher prices than EDLP store with many special sales; internet sales may reduce the frequency of this strategy
Bundling
Psychological Pricing: Why set a price of $19.99 or $199.99?
Demand-Oriented Pricing
Compared with Demand-based Pricing (DBP)DBP is also called Target Costing
Price is an input for production and the target cost + profit margin = DBP
Demand oriented pricing (DOP) is reflected in theater seat prices, where highly desire seats cost more than less desirable one.
Nonprice Competition
Attributes other than pricefeaturesconvenienceservicedurabilitystyle
Remaining competitive does always mean meeting or beating the price at Walmart.

Chapter 15
Distributing Products
Quickly & Efficiently
Marketing Intermediaries
MiddlemenDo they increase or lower the cost of business?
A Channel of Distribution = a set of intermediaries: agents/brokers/wholesalers/retailers
Agent/Broker = bring buyers & seller togethera Broker may manage many agents or just (him/her)self
Wholesaler = sells to other firms; B2B
Retailer = sells to consumers (people)
Why do we need Middlemen?
Middlemen can do things faster, at lower cost & give the producer more time to concentrate on what they do best.

Value versus Cost
If middlemen save time and/or money for a product heading to market, it make sense to use them.
If about half the cost of a product goes to middlemen, then getting rid of middlemen would reduce the price of goods & services…
RIGHT?!Wrong!!! It would reduce product availablitiy & increase costs & prices!!!
Six Utilities of Intermediaries(middlemen)
Form turning wheat into flourTime get it when you want itPlace local outletsPossession transfer ownership/credit
installation/follow-upInformation Consumer Reports, BBB
internetServices Education on use, repair
Wholesale – B2B
Merchant Wholesalers: take possession of goods they handle
Rack Jobbers: keep title until good is sold
Cash-and-carry Wholesalers: now use credit too
Drop Shippers: have product shipped directly from maker to buyer
Agents & Brokers
Arrange transfer of possession without taking possession of a product.
Wholesalers make profit from sale of products, but agents & brokers make commissions that are a percentage of the sales revenue.

Sampling is the easiest remedy.
The best advertising is done by satisfied customers (Word of Mouth) and it’s free.
Viral Marketing
Internet chat rooms entered and hype for a product released. Chat room visitors spread the word to their friends and other chat rooms they visit.
Blogging (blog is short for Web log)
Podcasting: distributing audio & video vai the internet
Who is watching you on the internet?
Firms keep track of the number of hits on product websites & even monitor the tastes of individual web users.
Then using this information they design advertising just for your kind of consumer.
You may sit alone at your computer, but someone will notice where you go on the internet.
Matching market with promotion
Push Strategy: push the product to vendors & sellers, people will see it in store/outlets & buy
Pull Strategy: promotion directed toward consumers, they ask for the product & stores start stocking the product
