Chapter 4-6
Agenda
What should we expect to find when we
identify products on the price versus value
plane?
What does it mean to be priced to value?
Value advantaged? Value disadvantaged?
What are the common pricing practices while
launching a new product?
When launching a new product, which
competitors are most likely to be threatened?
Zone of Indifference
Around the value equivalence line is a zone of indifference
Small variations in price or benefits around the value equivalence line
have non measureable effect on sales volume
Not all products will fall along the value equivalence line
Outside of this zone of indifference, lies the value advantaged zone
and the value disadvantaged zone.
Products lying in the value advantaged or disadvantaged zones are
either priced significantly lower or higher than the corresponding
levels of benefits, as perceived by customers
Value Advantaged
Value Disadvantaged
Missed Opportunities
Some authors refer to this as missed
opportunities, as the firm could have sold
a higher volume if their prices were more
inline with expectation levels
Consider it too a pricing error
Ex: Unsold advertising space within a
poplar magazine
Customer perceptions
Executive Approach
Identify competing products and their features , benefits, and prices. Position
them on the price to value map according to management impressions of the
valuation of competing benefits
Delphi Approach
Use a defined or identified market transaction prices and independent expert
evaluations of benefits
Market Confusion
Perceived Price
