Penetration Pricing
Strategy Description: Penetration Pricing is setting a low price to enter a competitive market and attract customers quickly. Example: A new hotel sets introductory low room rates to draw guests from competitors.
Price Skimming
Strategy Description: Price Skimming involves setting high prices initially and then gradually lowering them over time. Example: A luxury resort opens with high rates for the first season, then reduces prices later.
Value-Based Pricing
Strategy Description: Value-Based Pricing sets prices primarily based on the perceived value to the customer rather than on cost. Example: A boutique hotel prices rooms higher because of its unique design and guest experience.
Cost-Plus Pricing
Strategy Description: Cost-Plus Pricing is a method where a fixed percentage is added to the total cost of providing a service. Example: A bed and breakfast adds a 10% markup to the total cost of room service to determine the final price.
Dynamic Pricing
Strategy Description: Dynamic Pricing adjusts prices in response to demand and other market variables. Example: A hotel increases room rates during peak travel seasons or when a local event occurs.
Rate Parity
Strategy Description: Rate Parity ensures that a service provider maintains consistent prices across different distribution channels. Example: A hotel chain offers the same room prices on its website, travel agencies, and booking platforms.
Discount Pricing
Strategy Description: Discount Pricing offers temporary price reductions to stimulate sales or react to a competitive threat. Example: A resort offers a 20% discount for early bookings to encourage advance reservations.
Psychological Pricing
Strategy Description: Psychological Pricing leverages customer psychology, setting prices that are slightly below a round number. Example: Pricing a hotel room at 100 to make it seem less expensive.
Premium Pricing
Strategy Description: Premium Pricing sets higher prices to reflect the exclusivity and high quality of a product. Example: A five-star hotel sets room rates above the average to emphasize its superior service and amenities.
Bundle Pricing
Strategy Description: Bundle Pricing combines several products or services at a lower rate than if purchased separately. Example: A hotel offers a package deal including a room, spa services, and breakfast at a discounted rate.
Multiple Pricing
Strategy Description: Multiple Pricing involves offering various products for a single price to encourage larger purchases. Example: A theme park offers a group package where entry for four people is priced less than four individual tickets.
Peak Pricing
Strategy Description: Peak Pricing is the practice of charging higher prices during periods of high demand. Example: A hotel near a ski resort charges higher rates during the winter season.
Off-Peak Pricing
Strategy Description: Off-Peak Pricing discounts prices during periods of low demand to attract more customers. Example: A seaside hotel offers lower rates during the winter months to increase occupancy.
Geographical Pricing
Strategy Description: Geographical Pricing sets prices based on location, often due to differences in cost, market conditions, or competition. Example: A hotel chain has different room rates for properties in urban versus rural areas.
Promotional Pricing
Strategy Description: Promotional Pricing temporarily reduces prices to promote a new product or service. Example: A newly-opened restaurant offers a 'buy one, get one free' deal for the first month.
Segmented Pricing
Strategy Description: Segmented Pricing involves setting different prices for the same product or service for different customer segments. Example: A hotel offers discounted rates for senior citizens or military personnel.
Freemium Pricing
Strategy Description: Freemium Pricing offers a basic product or service for free, while charging for premium features. Example: A hotel provides free basic WiFi access with the option to upgrade to high-speed for a fee.
Membership Pricing
Strategy Description: Membership Pricing offers special pricing to members of a loyalty program or club. Example: A resort offers exclusive room rate discounts to members of its loyalty program.
Optional Product Pricing
Strategy Description: Optional Product Pricing charges for additional features or add-ons to a basic product or service. Example: A cruise line charges extra for on-board activities like excursions or specialty dining.
Captive Product Pricing
Strategy Description: Captive Product Pricing involves setting a price for a product that must be used with a main product. Example: A hotel spa charges for special treatments that can only be availed of by staying guests.
