Price List

Fixing the right price for a product is the most difficult task as it affects the volume of sales of the product of the firm as well as the profits of the firm. Although non-price factors have become more important in recent decades, price remains one of the important elements in determining the market share and profitability. Prices are set by a firm by taking into consideration factors like costs, profit targets, competition and perceived value of products. Taking into account the various factors, the steps generally followed in setting the price of a product are:

Setting the Pricing Objective of the Firm :
It is the most important step as it varies from firm to firm. Setting a lower price may attract more customers and thus fetch a larger market share for the firm's product. But charging a higher price might reflect a high quality and prestige product.

Determining the Demand for the Product :
Demand for the product sets a ceiling price. Penetration pricing is used when the product has a highly elastic demand and there is strong competition in the market. Under this policy, prices are fixed below the competitive level in order to obtain a larger share of the market. Once your product is in demand or is accepted in the market, the price of your product is increased. But when the demand for the product with respect to price is more inelastic, higher prices are charged for the product. This policy is generally followed during the initial stages of introduction of the new product.
