The hidden costs of wrong pricing strategies
Have you considered how much your pricing impacts your business? The wrong price can do more damage than you think.
- Does your pricing cover costs while generating a sustainable profit?
- How do your customers perceive your pricing: Fair, expensive, or too cheap? (Have you asked them 👀)
- Is your pricing competitive while still reflecting the value of your product/service?
Here are the three ways wrong pricing strategies could harm your business:
-
Loss of sales
- If you price too low, you risk barely covering your costs, or worse, making a loss.
- If you price too high, you can watch your customers buy from competitors.
-
Damage to brand
- If you price low, customers may associate your low cost with low quality, hurting your reputation.
- If you price too high, overpricing could lead to the perception that your product is overpriced for its value.
-
Loss of market share
- If you price too high customers will buy cheaper alternatives.
- If you price very low competitors might go under your price, leading to destructive price wars.
And don’t forget, unclear or inconsistent pricing only adds customer confusion and distrust, making it harder for them to choose your brand. If customers feel they were overcharged or misled, they may demand refunds or complain, leading to a poor customer experience.
