Pricing – An overlooked source of sustainable business advantage
Pricing, as one of the 4 Ps of marketing, is often overlooked by companies of all sizes. And it is true that Product, Place, and Promotion are “sexier” and more fun to work on. Yet, Pricing is absolutely critical for sustainable competitive advantage, for two reasons. First, it has a direct impact on margins and, by extension, overall profitability. Second, Pricing shapes brand perception and market positioning. It sends important signals about quality and value to consumers.
In a highly competitive market, relying on intuition (“this feels right”) or following industry trends (“everyone is doing it”) is not enough to meet growth and profitability targets. A strategic approach to Pricing is essential. This involves developing a customized, data-driven pricing strategy aligned with company goals, market conditions and company strengths and weaknesses.
S.M.A.R.T. Pricing – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound – stands as a versatile, battle-tested framework. It empowers businesses of any scale to tackle complexities and capitalize on opportunities, strengthening their competitive advantage.
