You will learn the concepts of customer life-time value, non-linear and dynamic pricing. We will know the role of promotions and incentives to achieve pricing objectives. CLO 3: The psychology, measurement and communication of pricing Pricing strategies and measures are not designed in a vacuum, and their effectiveness is largely dependent on a deep understanding of consumer motivation and behavior. It is essential to measure and anticipate consumer response to pricing actions, which to a large degree depend on the effectiveness of pricing communication. This course will make you confident on effective price communication.
