Event Intro

Pricing is the moment of truth in marketing. Regardless how thorough R&D has been and how persuasive the marketing is, price determines whether consumers walk away empty handed or companies give up the products leaving money on the table. 

Pricing is so critical that, according to a survey conducted on executives in the US and Europe, pricing was named as the most important issue across sectors. 

Pricing has been an area of expertise at Illuminera. Our consultants have had the privilege to tackle diverse pricing issues across a wide range of product and service categories. 

In our humble view, getting pricing right is more than getting the pricing study techniques right. True, pricing study remains to be one of the more “technical” subjects in market research. And over the years we have observed many cases where inappropriate techniques were applied or appropriate techniques were applied inappropriately or both. However, many pricing decisions were mis-guided well before a pricing study has been called. How to frame a pricing issue in the right strategic context has not received much needed attention. 

In this seminar, we will share our hard-earned knowledge and know-how using real-life cases.
