Are you talking about the discounting strategy that companies often use to boost their gross revenue? Or are you talking about the cost leadership strategy where companies aim to sell at the lowest cost whether it be through mass production or technological break throughs?

message: Marginal cost pricing is a hypothetical pricing model, do you guys think we should keep it here? As far as my understanding goes, it doesn't exist in practice, though it is theoretically necessary for some aspects of the current paradigm of neo-classical economics. What do you guys think? I think we should remove it, personally, but that might be a radical view. Thanks. MHP Huck (talk) 00:24, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dr. Takeuchi's comment on this article 

message: This article appears to confuse pricing tactics with pricing strategies. Although the literature identifies different pricing strategies (depending on which book you consult), it is possible to identify 6 distinct strategic approaches to pricing:
: Operations-oriented pricing: where the objective is to optimise productive capacity, to achieve operational efficiencies or to match supply and demand through varying prices. In some cases, prices might be set to de-market.Dibb, S., Simkin, L., Pride, W.C. and Ferrell, O.C.,Marketing: Concepts and Strategies, Cengage, 2013, Chapter 12
: Revenue-oriented pricing: (also known as profit-oriented pricing or cost-based pricing) - where the marketer seeks to maximise the profits (i.e., the surplus income over costs) or simply to cover costs and break even. For example, dynamic pricing (also known as yield management) is a form of revenue oriented pricing.
: Customer-oriented pricing: where the objective is to maximise the number of customers; encourage cross-selling opportunities or to recognise different levels in the customer's ability to pay.
: Value-based pricing: (also known as image-based pricing) occurs where the company uses prices to signal market value or associates price with the desired value position in the mind of the buyer. The aim of value-based pricing is to reinforce the overall positioning strategy e.g. premium pricing posture to pursue or maintain a luxury image.Nagle, T., Hogan, J. and Zale, J., The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing: A Guide to Growing More Profitably, Oxon, Routledge, 2016, p. 1 and 6; Brennan, R., Canning,L. and McDowell, R., Business-to-Business Marketing, 2nd ed., London, Sage, 2011, p.331
: Relationship-oriented pricing: where the marketer sets prices in order to build or maintain relationships with existing or potential customers.Neumeier, M.,  
The Brand Flip: Why customers now run companies and how to profit from it (Voices That Matter),2008, p. 55
:  Socially-oriented pricing: Where the objective is to encourage or discourage specific social attitudes and behaviours. e.g. high tariffs on tobacco to discourage smoking.Irvin, G., Modern Cost-Benefit Methods, Macmillan, 1978, pp 137-160
All the others such as loss leadering, high-low pricing etc are pricing tactics.

thread_title:  Pricing strategies vs pricing tactics 

message: The text mentions 'Subsequently pork becomes cheaper', but shouldn't this be 'Subsequently pork is perceived as cheaper', as the price of pork isn't necessarily changed and the strategy/tactic depends on customer's perception in comparison to the high beef price?
