Introduction
• Pricing can be effective and fastest way to realize
Value
maximum profit
• Value pricing is preferred by researchers
• Two elements of value pricing
• Value orientation : economic value for customers Customer Organization
• Processes :value captured by firm
• Requires commitment and a lot of effort
• Despite higher profits cost based pricing is preferred
because
1. Relatively easier
2. Easy to justify to stakeholders Value
3. Simplifies a complex process Pricing
• Disadvantages: may not capture maximum revenue
• This reading talks about:
• Value pricing Value
Processes
• Price customization Orientation
• Customer view point
• Organization view point- breakeven analysis
• Marginal math
The Value-Pricing Approach
Three Inputs to Value-Pricing Decision:

• True Economic Value (TEV) of the product to the customer


• Value that a fully informed buyer would or should ascribe to the product
• Different customers obtain different TEVs

• Perceived Value (PV) of the product to that same customer


• Firm has potential to influence PV via marketing efforts
• Lower than TEV due to various reasons

• Organization's Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)


• Lower bound on the price an organization is willing to set
• Generally, firms do not sell below cost on a sustained basis

• TEV = price of next-best alternative + expected system

COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)

• Can often be derived directly from the firm’s


income statement
• Represents the fully loaded variable cost of
producing the product being sold
• No profit is made if the product is sold at a price less than
or equal to COGS.
• Profits are only made if product is sold above COGS.
• If the company can sell enough units at a price high
enough above the COGS, it may have a thriving
business.
Putting the pieces together
• At the upper end firms are firm is bound the PV of the product
• At the lower end being the COGS
• PV of the product is influenced by TEV of the product for particular
customer and firm’s marketing effort marketing in communicating
that TEV.
• For example (continuing the previous example):
• TEV = $81,500; PV=$77,500; COGS= $50,000. Therefore range is :
$50,000 to $77,500.

• Three important concepts to note are :


1. Value Creation : Within this range, the price that ultimately is set
will determine both the firm’s and the potential buyer’s relative
incentives to make the sale happen.
If price = $75,000 then,
Seller’s incentive to enter the transaction = (75,000 - 50,000 = 25,000)
Buyer’s incentive to enter the transaction= ( 77,500 – 75,000 = 2,500)
Therefor, firm has set the price close to PV and has claimed all the
value created.
Whereas by setting price close to 65,000 it creates value for both
seller and buyer.
2. Value varies from customer to customer: The perceived value of a
product varies with different customers when they consider
differential value impacting the business operation.

For Example: In the same example consider an oil rig owner


purchasing the air filtration system. The relative impact of his choice
may be quite different from that faced by the toymaker. The
calculated PV for the rig owner is $105,500.

This pricing difference create opportunity and a potential problem. If


the pricing is favourable to one party it won’t be favourable to the
other or the firm.
• Therefore, goal of an optimal pricing strategy should be to
separate these two buyers, whenever possible, and price
differentially to each
• Since here in this case both are in different industry, how we price
to one may not restrict how we price to the other
3. Firm’s price and marketing activities must work together :

• The favourable combination of pricing and marketing


effort are low low or high high
• In the former scenario it makes it feasible and low-
marketing-expenditure strategy makes product’s value to
speak for itself, and such a soft voice may not push PV
near TEV hence lower price
• In the latter, firm can invest in marketing to boost PV, price
high to capture the perceived value thereby created,
and attain the margins necessary to fund the high
marketing. As the strategy used by Glaxo on pricing
Zantac
• Other two combination are not feasible because of
undesirable results in the top and bottom-line of the firm
