What is
price?
Price is the third “P” in the Marketing Mix.
It refers to the amount of money a customer
pays in exchange for the benefits of a product or
service, determined by what buyers are willing to
pay, sellers are willing to accept, and competitors
are charging.
Pricing
examples Setting prices low to attract customers
and gain market share, then increasing
them later.
Example: A new beauty salon charges less
than competitors to attract customers, then
slowly raises prices after building a loyal
client base.

6. Premium Pricing
1. Penetration pricing
Starts with a very low price to
quickly attract customers and gain
market share. Once enough
people know and trust the product,
the business slowly increases
the price.
2. Skimming price
Starts with a high price
when your product is new,
unique, or in demand, then
lower the price over
time.
3. Competition Pricing
Set your price based on what competitors are charging, either
matching, slightly higher, or slightly lower.
4. Product Line Pricing
Offer different versions
of the same product at
different prices based on
quality or features
5. Bundle Pricing
Sell two or more products
together at a lower total
price than if the customer
bought them separately.
6. Premium Pricing
Keep prices high to
show that your product
is luxury, exclusive, or
top quality.
7. Psychological Pricing
Make prices look cheaper by using amounts like ₱999 instead of
₱1,000.
8. Optimal Pricing
Finding the perfect price point
that maximizes both sales and
profit. This usually requires
market research, sales testing,
and understanding customer
demand.
9. Cost-Plus Pricing
Set the price by adding a fixed percentage profit on top of the
product’s cost.
10. Cost-Based Pricing
Decide the price based
only on how much it costs
to make the product plus
your desired profit, ignoring
market demand.
[Link]-Based Pricing
Set the price based on
how much customers think
your product is worth, not
just the cost to make it.
