An Analytical Approach to Pricing
Pricing has historically been an essential part of the marketing mix - and yet it remains a vastly underutilized tool. When properly applied as a strategic lever, pricing tools can impact your overall business goals, drive profitable growth, enhance customer value, and create the ultimate win-win situation. You'll learn the psychology behind pricing and what it takes to find the sweet spot between customer behavior and profit maximization.
By shifting from traditional pricing methodologies to an analytics-based approach, product and marketing professionals find that effective pricing tactics become self-evident through the data. In this program, you'll learn to optimize revenue through pricing from a global expert who built teams and developed analytical approaches foundational to organizations like Amazon and Uber.
Pricing analytics provide critical insights for creating a pricing playbook, including the:
- Economics of pricing and consumer behavior
- Ability to represent customer response mathematically
- Building blocks for dynamic pricing models
