? Pricing factors are manufacturing cost, market place,
competition, market condition, brand, and quality of
product.
? Pricing is also a key variable in price allocation theory.
Pricing is a fundamental aspect of financial modeling and
is one of the four Ps of the marketing mix. (The other
three aspects are product, promotion, and place.)
? Price is the only revenue generating element amongst
the four Ps, the rest being cost centers. However, the
other Ps of marketing will contribute to decreasing price
elasticity and so enable price increases to drive greater
revenue and profits.

PRICE
• The price we set for our offering plays a large role
in its marketability. Pricing for offerings that are
more commonly available in the market is more
elastic, meaning that unit sales will go up or down
more responsively in response to price changes. By
contrast, those products that have a generally more
limited availability in the market (but with strong
demand) are more inelastic, meaning that price
changes will not affect unit sales very much. The
price elasticity of your offering can be determined
through various market testing techniques.
• Price is the value placed on what is exchanged. It is
usually expressed in terms of monetary units.

What a price should do???????
A well chosen price should do three things:
? achieve the financial goals of the company (i.e. profitability)
? fit the realities of the marketplace (will customers buy at 
that price?)
? support a product's market positioning and be consistent 
with the other variables in the marketing mix
