Pricing and Merchandising

To establish a price point requires a clear understanding of customer’s flexibility to adjust to the price, retailer’s market position and intelligence that can compare current and historical price data. Analytics has been extremely effective for retailers to gain visibility into appropriate price points and anticipate its effect on their business. By creating granular-level demand models, retailers can analyze and predict customer demand, identify opportunities by making comparative study of present and historical data, and appropriately time effective promotion campaigns.

 

Most economists have concluded that pricing elasticity and inelasticity directly depends on the demand of the product or commodity. Business experience and business rules affirm that pricing remains aligned to category roles, competition and item-specific relationships such as size and brand.
