Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dynamic Pricing?
A strategy where prices adjust in real-time based on supply, demand, competitor prices, and other external factors (like Uber surge or Airline tickets).
What is 'Velocity-Based' pricing?
Setting price based on sales speed. If selling < 10 units/day, lower price. If selling > 100 units/day, raise price.
What are common pricing strategies and how are they calculated?
Cost-plus pricing adds a fixed margin to costs. Value-based pricing sets prices based on perceived customer value. Competitive pricing matches or undercuts competitors. Penetration pricing starts low to gain market share. Price elasticity (% change in demand / % change in price) helps predict how price changes affect sales volume.
