Mankind always has a tendency to look for the best products available in the market at the least possible price rates. The company to gain consumer trust will have merged the two factors in the most appropriate manner and set a price for the product.<\/p>\n

Product development, Promotion, Branding, and After Sales are important parameters for any business.\u00a0Firms successful at creating “Value for money”\u00a0 with the other marketing\/ branding activities must still capture some of this value in the prices they earn. For any Automotive product, it is a smart decision if they focus to sell\u00a0value\u00a0<\/strong>and not price.\u00a0\u00a0Historically, price plays a key role affecting buyer decision. In our latest study on pricing, however, other nonprice elements also gained attention. Still Every part of the world, Even so, price remains one of the key parameters that determine a firm\u2019s Sales Volume, market share, Revenue, and profitability.<\/p>\n

The most complex and highly intense procedure is the pricing of any product. The pricing of the product is the result of a number of calculations on the sale rate, research work on the market, risk-taking ability and understanding of the market trends and the consumer requirements.<\/p>\n

\"Pricing<\/a><\/p>\n

The company\u00a0needs to make the balance between cost and Buyers\u00a0perception. “Remember that Low price” does not mean “Value price”. Sometimes low price responsible for backfire on sales volume.<\/p>\n

It is hard to calculate the value customers attach to its vehicle. For example, calculating the cost of vehicle-based on BOM and\u00a0Running operating economy, the Resale value is relatively easy. But assigning a value to other measures of satisfaction\/ Delight such as Reliability, Features, Customer support soft skill, Customer savvy image, and status is very hard. Such value is subjective; it varies both for different consumers and different situations. For example, MAN Truck (India) Value price was workable for its tipper segment but it was not workable for its Rigid Haulage segment. The company needs convenience\u00a0to its buyers what is the value of the vehicle behind the price. Maruti Suzuki is the example for most of its product for the Middle-class segment.<\/p>\n

The future of pricing will work on a new concept. “Good-value pricing”<\/strong>\u2014offering the perfect combination of vehicle quality and good service at a fair price. In the USA,\u00a0Mercedes-Benz launched its CLA Class, entry-level models starting at $31,500 now it starts with $41,500. With attractive features and specs, the CLA Class gives customers \u201cThe Art of Seduction. At a price reduction. “Value-added\u00a0price”<\/strong>\u00a0is another concept which some companies use. Toyota Innova is the example which gives excellent\u00a0product performance for commercial use rather than lowering the price. There are some other kinds of pricing strategy like competition based, customer preferences, willingness to pay, price elasticity, cost-based, Profit targeting and so on.\u00a0What principle should guide decisions about prices to charge relative to those of competitors? The answer is simple in concept but often difficult in practice: No matter what price you charge\u2014Priemium, low, or in between\u2014but make sure to give customers delight value for that price.\u00a0\u00a0If you are targeting Zone C or D (As per exhibit), it is important to note that it misinterpretation that customers will immediately recognize and pay for a truly innovative, Quality,\u00a0 and superior product.\u00a0<\/strong>The company must have the strategy to educate customers, create buzz and effectively communicate through a different channel about superior value to customers before linking price to value.\u00a0Let first Customers have perception and understand the value<\/strong>\u00a0in order to be willing to pay more for value rather than taking buying decision solely on basis of price.<\/strong><\/p>\n
