Strategic Pricing
Masterclass 2015
WORKSHOP BACKGROUND
With GST happening in April, likely a lot of consumers will
become more price sensitive, spend lesser or spending
with ‘value for money’ in mind. Businesses will need to be
smarter in pricing so that they won’t lose out in the market
competition. Some of the questions they should be asking
when making decisions about pricing are:
•
•
•
Should I be giving discounts to draw in more
customers?
When should I be giving discounts?
Should I be pricing differently? Different price ranges
for different customers?
The reality is that once consumers are used to the lower
price range for goods, they will be comfortable with the
new lower prices and will be unwilling to pay more in the
future. It is therefore important to consider the long-term
impact that pricing decisions made now can have in the
future.
This masterclass will look at pricing strategies and
methodologies that will enable businesses to set the
right prices and increase profitability and bottom-line
performance.
Facilitated by one of Australia’s leading market researchers
this hands-on and highly interactive training program is
uniquely designed to impart practical insights and key
strategies for strategic pricing of products and services.
Attendees will benefit from real-life examples and will leave
the event with a range of best practices for achieving
success in pricing their products and services with an
edge over competitors. Register your seat today to be part
of this exciting learning experience!
