Pricing Analysis:
Now a brief review of Mobilink pricing:
• Pricing Method:
Mobilink is using market oriented pricing for it customers because of high
competition that is they are setting a price based upon analysis and research
compiled from the targeted market.
Pricing Strategy:
Mobilink keeps changing its pricing strategies from time to time to keep pace with the
current market behavior. So now Mobilink is using Psychological pricing that is they
are not charging you Rs.1 (for 3 favorite numbers) but Rs.99 to create a image in the
mind of customers that they are offering the lowest rates in the market!
Skimming vs Penetration vs Par:
Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which a marketer sets a relatively high price
for a product or service at first, then lowers the price over time. It is a temporary
version of price discrimination/yield management. It allows the firm to recover its sunk
costs quickly before competition steps in and lowers the market price. So, Mobilink
used the same strategy when they launched and they skimmed the market with high
prices and charged in thousands for each connection.
But they kept changing their prices as competitors stepped in and their prices dropped
from thousands to hundreds and today now u can even get their connection for free, so
they can keep their brand loyalties.
Mobilink doesn’t need to penetrate into the market because they are already celebrating
10 million customers so they are not using penetrating pricing strategies.
