How to react skillfully to market changes: optimal prices at all times.

This article looks at the importance of dynamic pricing strategies and how they help companies to react quickly and flexibly to market changes and increase their profitability.

Traditional pricing models

Cost-oriented pricing
Cost-oriented pricing is based on the company’s internal costs. A mark-up is added to the internal costs in order to achieve an appropriate profit.
However, this approach can ignore customers’ actual willingness to pay and lead to inappropriately high or low prices.

Competitive pricing strategies
In this strategy, companies base their prices on those of their competitors and adjust their prices accordingly.
However, this can lead to a price war in which a sales price prevails that does not correspond to the actual value of the product.

Demand-oriented pricing
In demand-oriented pricing, companies are guided by the demand of their customers and adjust their prices accordingly.
However, predicting demand is difficult and can lead to price fluctuations.

Modern approaches to pricing

The introduction of data-based decisions has initiated a change in pricing. Today, companies can implement dynamic pricing strategies and adapt to changing market conditions, changes in demand and other factors at short notice.
To do this, they need advanced data analysis and big data technologies. Thanks to these, they receive comprehensive information about market conditions, customer behavior and competitive activities in real time. On this basis, they are able to make informed pricing decisions and continuously optimize pricing in combination with cost accounting solutions. The goal is maximum profitability.
