New product Pricing Strategies Penetration pricing in the introductory stage of a new product's life cycle involves accepting a lower profit margin and pricing relatively low. Price skimming involves setting the price relatively high to generate a high profit margin. A premium product generally supports a skimming strategy. Product Mix Pricing Strategies The product mix is the collection of products and services that a company chooses to offer its market. Pricing strategies range from being the cost leader to being a high-value, luxury option for consumers. Cost Plus Cost-plus pricing is the most basic type of pricing and simply represents setting the cost of a product at some level above the cost of producing and distributing that product. So, for instance, a jeweler might decide to price products at a 100 percent mark-up based on the costs that go into creating the product. Competition Based Competition-based pricing is pricing that is established specifically to address and respond to the prices of competitors' products. Businesses may decide to price either higher or lower or at about the same levels of the competition, but their decisions are based on an evaluation of what competitors are doing and how they want to position their product mix.
