Common mistakes in pricing strategies
- Pricing decisions are too heavily biased towards cost structures and
fail to take sufficient account of either competitor's or customers'
potential response patterns.
- Pricing decisions are set independently of other mix elements and
without sufficiently explicit account being taken of them (advertising,
positioning, etc.), taken out of concern for the mix.
- Too little account is taken of opportunities greatly between different
segments of the market.
- Prices often reflect a defensive rather then offensive posture, will
not think through only react against.
