Pricing Strategy

Start here: Pricing strategy fundamentals

Most people think that developing a pricing strategy consists of selecting a pricing method, or a pricing model, or implementing some "pricing strategies" such as using penetration pricing, adding some product tiers, or a couple of bundles, maybe using odd prices (for psychological pricing, you know?), and they're all set.

Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. A sound pricing strategy requires a pricing method, a pricing model, a price positioning, some additional more targeted strategies when needed (commonly referred to as "pricing strategies", such as penetration pricing, price skimming, product bundling, unbundling, product tiers, etc), and finally, the actual price points.

None of the previous can be considered a complete pricing strategy on its own though (or at least not a good one); a sound pricing strategy requires them to work in conjunction.
