Pricing for boom or bust: smart moves for maximum flexibility
Abstract
While the US economy seems to be in an upswing, there is still plenty of downside for some companies. But a downturn need not be seen as a giant sucking sound, eliminating all of a company’s pricing power. Through astute use of strategies such as the ones discussed in this article, many companies can continue to raise prices. The authors discuss such pricing strategies as working around budgets, using tools other than list price to cut price, bundling and tiering goods and services, and locking in your best customers.
