PRICING INITIATIVES IN GE
takers
Many economist assume that consumers are price
and accept prices at face value or as given. Marketers
recognise that consumers often actively process price
information, interpreting prices in terms of their knowledge from
prior purchasing experience, formal communication
(advertising, sales calls , and brochures) , informal
communication (friends, colleagues, or family members ),
points of purchase or online resources, or other factors.
Purchase decisions are based on how consumers perceive
prices and what they consider the current actual price to be
not the marketers stated price. Customers may have a lower
price threshold below which prices signal inferior or
unacceptable quality. Eg. Armani, GAP,H&M.

REFERENCE PRICING
PRICE-QUALITY INFERENCES
Many consumers use price as an indicator f quality.
Image pricing is especially effective with ego-sensitive
products such as perfumes and expensive cars. A
bottle of perfume priced at Rs 5000 might contain Rs
500 worth of scent, but gift givers pay Rs 5000 to
communicate their high regard for the receiver.
Price and quality perceptions of cars interact. Higher
quality priced cars are perceived to be higher price
than they actually are. Eg Tiffany & Co.

The expenditure is small compared to the total cost of
the end product.
Part of the cost is borne by another party.
The product is used in conjunction with assets
previously bought.
The product is assumed to have more quality, prestige
or exclusiveness.
Buyers cannot store the product.
