Pricing Strategies
Any business can utilize a pricing strategy when marketing a product or service. The price can be set to maximize profitability for each unit sold. It can be used to defend an existing market from new entrants (increasing the barriers to entry for new competitors), to increase market share within a market or to enter a new market.
Review the Pricing strategies defined in module 3 and match the strategy to the scenarios provided. Provide a justification for your answers.
