Estrategias de fijación de precios de productos nuevos Captura del nivel alto del mercado Pricing Innovative Products Market Skimming Pricing. Market skimming pricing is the strategy of setting high initial prices to skim maximum profits from each successive layer of the target market. Penetración del mercado Poner precio alto al producto nuevo para maximizar ganancias en el mercado meta. Menos ventas pero más redituables. Poner precio bajo al producto nuevo para atraer un gran número de compradores. Mayor participa-ción en el mercado Skimming strategies typically set a price as high as some segments will bear. Once all customers within this segment have purchased, prices are lowered only so far as the next segment needs to be persuaded to buy. Skimming usually works well only when: Product Distinctiveness. Product quality, image, and innovation are sufficiently distinct to support a high price. Costs of Small Production Runs. The costs of producing small volume are not prohibitive. Barriers to Entry. Competitors should not be able to enter the market easily and undercut the high price. Market Penetration Pricing. Some innovations are priced low upon introduction in order to capture large market share quickly thus penetrating the market. High volume results in lower costs, which helps keep prices low. Several conditions favor penetration pricing: Price Sensitive Markets. Highly price-sensitive markets with very large volume potential so that low price produces more market growth are needed. Falling Costs. Production and distribution costs must fall as sales volume increases. Barriers to Entry. Here the low costs must generate a sustainable advantage that cannot easily be duplicated by competitors. Discussion Note: Penetration pricing may also accelerate overall market adoption rates thus supporting low price continuance that may discourage competitors from entering the market.

Companies usually develop product lines rather than single products. In product line pricing, management must decide on the price steps to set between each product in the line. Companies often use price points to target distinctive combinations of product features and value represented by a particular price. Optional-Product Pricing. Under this strategy, the company offers a base product and prices differently for each combination of additional features or options added to the base product as desired by the customer. Automobile pricing is famous -- or infamous -- for this practice. But many manufacturers use optional-product pricing, such as personal computer makers. Captive-Product Pricing. Under this strategy, producers price products that must be used with a main product. The text describes razor blades as an example. The razor is priced low while high markups are attached to the price of the blades. Discussion Note: Students should distinguish captive pricing from optional pricing on the basis of need versus convenience. When Apple Computer prices its keyboards separately from its computers, it is practicing captive-product pricing. When it offers additional RAM beyond the included board memory, it is practicing optional-product pricing. By-Product Pricing. Waste from production and distribution may be marketable as by-products. Selling by-products allows producers to lower prices and costs on their main products. Otherwise, the prices of main products must cover the disposable or storage of by- products. Product-Bundle Pricing. This strategy combines several products and offers them at a reduced price from the cost of each product purchased separately. Season tickets and group rates are examples.

Cómo iniciar y responder a cambios en los precios Price Changes This CTR relates to the material on pp. 340-342. Cómo iniciar y responder a cambios en los precios Reacciones de competido- res a cambios en los precios Iniciar recortes de precios Initiating Price Changes Price changes may be initiated for several reasons, including: Price Cuts. Reasons for cutting prices may stem from overcapacity, falling market share, or attempts to dominate the market through lower costs. Price Increases. Inflation is a major source of price increases but so is the tendency to speculate on inflationary trends and raise prices beyond the rate of inflation. Over demand may also cause prices to rise. Higher prices can also increase profit margins. Buyer Reactions to Price Changes. Buyer reactions usually respond directly to price changes but not always. Usually lower prices pleases consumers, higher prices do not. But sometimes higher prices support quality improvements and lower prices mean company or product problems. Whether the buyer is correct or not in these perceptions will not immediately change their inclination to act on them. Competitor Reactions to Price Changes. Competitors most often react in industries with a small number of firms, uniform products in the market, and buyers are well informed. Competitive reactions may be similar price changes or increased non price competition. Companies should anticipate probable competitive moves prior to initiating price changes.
