limited to a pysical good. :e important ting is tat your product and7or service sould

5 Iero9level cannel) often called a direct mar-eting cannel) consists of a manufacturer
selling directly to a consumer. :e coice of te level cannel to use will be based on te
competitive advantage) offered by tis level. !or e2ample) an apple farmer may coose a Iero9
level cannel by inviting te public to come and pic- teir own apples at a muc lower price
tan buying it at a sop.
5 two9level cannel) for e2ample) contains two intermediaries. In consumer mar-ets) tey are
typically a wolesaler and a retailer. In industrial mar-ets) tey could be sales agents and
wolesalers and in te service mar-et) only sales agents could be necessary.
4istribution cannels could also be oter tan te abovementioned. !or e2ample) te Internet
is an e2cellent distribution cannel for selling information. 5 comedian can also distribute is
services via te :C to is or er target audience.
Bart of te place decision is also te layout of a store or sop. =ayout is te arrangement and
display of mercandise. 5 retailer8s success depends on a well 9 designed floor display. It
sould pull customers into te sop) ma-e it easy for tem to locate mercandise) compare
price) 1uality) and features) and ultimately buy.
PRICE
In setting a price for your product) you must consider competition in te target mar-et) and te
cost of te total mar-eting mi2. ?ou must also estimate customer reaction to possible prices.
!urtermore) you also sould -now current competitor practices suc as mar-ups) discounts)
and oter terms of sale. ?ou must be aware of legal restrictions on pricing. If customers won8t
accept te price) all your planning effort will be wasted.
$onsider wat te customer is willing to pay and wat te customer is li-ely to e2pect for tat
price. 5s- yourself weter te customer feel tat e7se is getting value for money at tat
priceT 'emember it is te customer8s perception of value for money tat counts) not yours.
E2
?ou must set te price ig enoug to cover costs and earn a reasonable profit) but low enoug
to attract customers and generate ade1uate sales volume. :e rigt price today may be
completely inappropriate tomorrow. :e reason for tis@ ;ver canging mar-et conditions.
!or many small business people non9price competition 9 focusing on factors oter tan price 9
is a more effective strategy tan trying to beat larger competitors in a price war. Non9price
competition factors are@ free trial offers) free delivery) lengty warranties) money9bac-
guarantees) allowing for bargaining) stressing durability) 1uality) reputation) or special features.
:e pricing policy of a business also offers important information about its overall image. :e
prices carged at ladies8 cloting bouti1ue reflect a completely different image from tose
carged by a cain store. 6ig prices for some products fre1uently convey te idea of 1uality)
prestige) and uni1ueness to te customer.
$ompetitors8 prices can ave a dramatic impact on your sale. ?ou sould ma-e it a abit to
monitor your rivals8 prices) especially on identical items. :e following two factors are vital to
studying te effects of competition on your pricing policies@ location of competitors) and te
nature of competing products.
>itout te advantage of a uni1ue business image 9 1uality of goods sold) number of services
provided) convenient location) favorable credit terms 9 you will ave to matc local
competitors8 prices or lose sales. ?ou also ave to recogniIe wic products are substitutes for
tose you sell and ten strive to -eep your prices in line wit tem.
E$$e%t),e Te%h!)B&e" y#& %a! &"e 'he! Pr)%)!/ a Ne' Pr#-&%t
In te initial setting of a product8s price) you must try to acieve tree objectives@
U %etting te product accepted.
U #aintaining mar-et sare as competition grows.
U ;arning a profit.
?ou ave tree strategies to coose from@
E3
O Pe!etrat)#!D :e idea is to gain 1uic- acceptance and e2tensive distribution in te
mar-et. ?ou introduce your product at a low price. :e low profit margins may
discourage oter potential competitors from entering te mar-et wit similar products.
O S()..)!/D :e idea is to set a price well above te total unit cost and to promote te
product eavily in order to appeal to te segment of te mar-et tat isn8t sensitive to
price. :is tecni1ue often reinforces te uni1ue) prestigious image of a sop and
projects a 1uality picture of te product.

reduce te product8s price sooner tan tat of your its competitors. $omputer price
declines are a good e2ample of tis tecni1ue.
