TYPES OF PRICING STRATEGIES:

NEW PRODUCT PRICING STRATEGY:

 Market-skimming pricing: is used to boost income when a new product or

carrier is launched. A pricing approach in which the producer sets a high
introductory price to attract buyers with a strong desire for the product and
the resources to buy it, and then gradually reduces the price to attract the
next and subsequent layers of the market

 Penetration pricing strategy: is a marketing strategy used by businesses to

attract customers to a new product or service by offering a lower price
during its initial offering. The lower price helps a new product or service
penetrate the market and attract customers away from competitors.
Market penetration pricing relies on the strategy of using low prices initially
to make a wide number of customers aware of a new product.
