Startup Funding Espresso -- Pricing Your Product
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Pricing the product or service is a key step in running a startup. There are four pricing strategies to choose from: Premium pricing is a price at the upper end of the scale and is used to attract higher-end users. The profit margins are greater here. Low-cost pricing is a price at the lower end of the scale and is used to attract customers in volume. This gives you the greatest market size to sell to. Skimming pricing is setting the price high at the beginning and then gradually lowering the price to capture new customers who could not afford the original price. Penetration pricing is setting the price below cost to obtain market share. Once you\u2019ve chosen your pricing strategy, you then set the specific price with one of the following: Cost-plus pricing is setting the price as a calculation of the cost of making and delivering the product plus a margin. Value-based pricing is setting the price based on what value the customer perceives it brings regardless of the cost to build. Dynamic pricing is setting the price based on how much or how often the customer uses the product. Loss-leader pricing is setting the lead product price low to attract customers and set follow-on product prices high to capture the margin.
