9、alue pricing is a method in which the company charges a fairly low price for a high-quality offering.Value pricing says that the price should represent a high-value offer to consumers.This is a major trend in the computer industry,which has shifted from charging top dollar for cutting-edge computers
10、 to offering basic computers at lower prices.For instance,Monorail Computer started selling PCs in 1996 for as little as$999 to woo price-sensitive buyers.Compaq and others quickly followed suit.More recently,eMachines began selling its PCs for less than$500 without a monitor,targeting the 55 percen
11、t of computerless households with annual incomes of$25,000 to$30,000.13 Value pricing is not a matter of simply setting lower prices on ones products compared to those of competitors.It is a matter of reengineering the companys oper-ations to become a low-cost producer without sacrificing quality,an
12、d lowering prices word 文档 可自由复制编辑 significantly to attract a large number of value-conscious customers.An important type of value pricing is everyday low pricing(EDLP),which takes place at the retail level.Retailers such as Wal-Mart and A use EDLP pricing,posting a constant,everyday low price with f
13、ew or no temporary price discounts.These constant prices eliminate week-to-week price uncertainty and can be contrasted to the“high-low”pric-ing of promotion-oriented competitors.In high-low pricing,the retailer charges higher prices on an everyday basis but then runs frequent promotions in which pr
14、ices are temporarily lowered below the EDLP level.14 Retailers adopt EDLP for a number of reasons,the most important of which is that constant sales and promotions are costly and erode consumer confidence in the credibility of everyday prices.Consumers also have less time and patience for such time-
15、honored traditions as watching for specials and clipping coupons.Yet promo-tions are an excellent way to create excitement and draw shoppers.For this reason,EDLP is not a guarantee of success.As supermarkets face heightened competition from store rivals and alternative channels,many are drawing shop

17、ustries that sell a commodity such as steel,paper,or fertilizer,firms normally charge the same price.The smaller firms“follow the leader,”changing their prices when the market leaders prices change rather than when their own demand or costs change.Some firms may charge a slight premium or slight dis

19、air return and not jeopardize industrial harmony.Sealed-Bid Pricing Competitive-oriented pricing is common when firms submit sealed bids for jobs.In bidding,each firm bases its price on expectations of how competitors will price rather than on a rigid relationship to the firms own costs or demand.Se
20、aled-bid pricing involves two opposite pulls.The firm wants to win the contract which means submit-ting the lowest priceyet it cannot set its price below cost.To solve this dilemma,the company would estimate the profit and the probabil-ity of winning with each price bid.By multiplying the profit by
21、the probability of win-ning the bid on the basis of that price,the company can calculate the expected profit for each bid.For a firm that makes many bids,this method is a way of playing the oddsSetting the Price 225 to achieve maximum profits in the long run.However,firms that bid only occasionally
22、or that badly want to win certain contracts will not find it advantageous to use the expected-profit criterion.Step 6:Selecting the Final Price The previous pricing methods narrow the range from which the company selects its final price.In selecting that price,the company must consider additional fa

26、es,or the buying context.Sellers often manipulate these reference prices.For example,a seller can situate its product among expensive products to imply that it belongs in the same class.Reference-price thinking is also created by stating a high manufacturers suggested price,by indicating that the pr
27、oduct was priced much higher originally,or by pointing to a rivals high price.17 Often sellers set prices that end in an odd number,believing that customers who see a television priced at$299 instead of$300 will perceive the price as being in the$200 range rather than the$300 range.Another explanati
28、on is that odd endings con-vey the notion of a discount or bargain,which is why both and set prices ending in 99.But if a company wants a high-price image instead of a low-price image,it should avoid the odd-ending tactic.The Influence of Other Marketing-Mix Elements The final price must take into a
