Mark Wickersham (UK):
3 key pricing strategies you could
adopt in your business To grow a successful, profitable
business you have to figure out your strategy. It’s the foundation of your
business so you have to figure it out pretty quickly. Fail to do so and you
are relying on just one thing. Luck.
And luck doesn’t always go your way.
Of course an essential part of that
strategy has to be around pricing. So how do you define your pricing strategy? There are essentially three
different pricing strategies that you could follow: Option 1 – Low cost leadership
At its heart this strategy is actually
about being the cheapest. But it’s
cheapest with a difference. It’s cheapest because we create something within the structure of the business that’s unique. It’s about enabling a
different cost structure that isn’t able to be copied. That in turn means no one else can
compete with us. A great example of this sort of
strategy is Richer Sounds – a business founded by Julian Richer and one that has appeared in the Guinness Books of Records several times thanks to the sales per sq. ft. it manages to generate. They sell TVs and hi-fi equipment
significantly cheaper than their high street rivals. How do they do it?
They have something very unique about
their cost structure that no one else can copy. As a result they are extremely successful. The trouble is that when this
translates to the accounting profession I’ve yet to see someone pull it off. As soon as someone else copies your model
then they can compete on price. And that means suddenly you are in a price war. To be continued..
