PRICE

A Pricing

The owner of Allmart Stores talks about its prices:


“As you know, our goods are low-priced and this permanently low pricing
means we charge low prices all the time. Our competitors say their goods are
more expensive because they provide customer service. But we believe that our
customers are interested in cheap goods and don’t want to pay extra for
service.”
“It is true we have loss-leaders-these are cheap items which are there to attract
customers. We have a policy of selling our goods below the official list price or
recommended retail price. This policy of discounting- selling at a discount to
the list price- has been very successful.”
The owner of Luxmart says:


Demand (an amount) as a price for a service rendered or goods supplied.

A loss leader strategy involves selling a product or service at a price that is not profitable
but is sold to attract new customers or to sell additional products and services to those
customers. Loss leading is a common practice when a business first enters a market.
“Allmart’s goods are cheap- low-priced but not of high quality. Our top-quality
goods are high-priced, I agree, but we have high levels of customer service. In
fact, most of our goods are mid-priced- not cheap and not expensive. But
Allmart are undercutting us on some products-selling the same ones at
lower prices than us.”

Mass market and niche market
C
Mass market describes goods that are sold in
large quantities and the people who buy them, for
example family cars are a mass market product. A
niche or niche market is a small group of buyers
with special needs, which may be profitable to
sell, for example sport cars are a niche in the car
industry.
