Price Elasticity of Demand: A Key Influencer of Pricing Strategies
Determining the right price for your products and services is not a simple task. In fact, setting the right price for a service/product is one of the toughest tasks assigned to a marketer. This is because it directly impacts the organization’s bottom line. One of the crucial elements associated with pricing is what economists refer to as ‘Price Elasticity’.
Price elasticity is a part of a price analytics study and an important concept for players across industries as it is a key influencer of the price charged for their products and services. Businesses today are increasingly being forced to closely monitor how changes in pricing affect their overall market demand. By doing so, companies can develop pricing strategies to improve revenue structures and drive organizational growth.
Today, leading equipment rental companies are increasingly seeking to differentiate themselves based on product pricing. Are you one of them? Get in touch to know how price elasticity analysis can influence your pricing decisions.
