Question

How do I search out different customers to pay different prices?

Answer 1

Um...   sorry, I dson't understand your question.

I just answered this because i know that a while ago you asked a question about Roger Taylor from Queen.

He also sings 'Tenement Funster', 'modern times rock 'n' roll', and had a aolo album called 'fun in space'

Answer 2

Your question requires a little more detail. I'm not really sure what you're asking, but as a genereal rule the quantity or volume of the purchase usually dictates the unit price.

   If, for example, you place an order for 100,000 widgets, you could expect to pay less per piece than if your order was for 10 widgets.

Answer 3

There are many different strategies for accomplishing this, but you should keep in mind that you need to show demonstrable respect and concern for both segments of your customers – you don’t want your customers willing/able to pay more feeling as though they are not being treated fairly any more than you want your customers unable to pay more feeling the same way.



Coupons/discounts – Offering your clients or certain community members discounts or coupons for your products is a simple way to make your products affordable to a subset of customers.



Sliding scale – Many nonprofits have incorporated a sliding scale based on income into their pricing strategy. When using this tactic, you have to take into account how much effort you can put into enforcing the sliding scale, since income is difficult to verify. One good example of this tactic is a tax-preparation clinic for low-income individuals which charges below-market prices on a sliding scale – in this case, verifying income is easy.



Periodic discounting – This is a traditional retail concept – think about the post-Christmas sales. In this case, price-sensitive customers will attend your sale (even though you are selling goods far in advance of the season when most customers think to buy: say, bathing suits in December), and customers who can afford it will wait until a more convenient time to shop.



Second market discounting – This is an increasingly common strategy for manufacturers who have excess capacity – think outlet stores. This is best done when there is some geographic distance between your store and the second market store – you don’t want your customers who are willing to pay more going to your second market store.

Answer 4

For what?

Remember that you can always reduce a price without resistance easier than raise it.

Can you justify why some would pay more than others for the same thing?
