Value-based strategy
Market-oriented strategy
Market-oriented strategy is that in which prices are set after assessment of prevailing market
conditions. For instance, Prices for its appliances are near to the prices of other competitive
firms. This pricing strategy supports competitiveness and is appropriate to markets where
customers have significant price sensitivity.
Value-based pricing focuses on the uniqueness of its products. For example, 3M sets
relatively high prices for some of its healthcare products and aviation products. In these
products where value-based pricing is applied, customers are willing to pay higher for
products that have higher value.
These pricing strategies will help the company to have competitive edge over all other
competitors.
