Summary of article (Competitive Pricing Strategy):
NB ADD CITATIONS HERE
Successful and reasoned pricing is essential for a business. Businesses can set prices
to maximize profitability on individual items or on the overall market share. Businesses
must set a price lower than competitors to stop them from entering the market, or to
higher its market share, or simply to compete and stay in the market.
The consumer first notices the price of a product and is one of the deciding factors
when deciding to buy it or not. The competition in the market has become increasingly
more aggressive. Therefore businesses have to always be aware of their prices in order
to attract customers. This means that you have to not only compete with your
competitor's prices, but you must also compete with their quality and service.
