    Journal of Management and Marketing Research Conceptualization of perceived value pricing in strategic marketing Nagasimha Balakrishna Kanagal Indian Institute of Management Bangalore ABSTRACT Perceived value pricing is an important price setting procedure. Perceived value pricing indicates the importance of providing benefits and functionalities to the consumer and the simultaneous need to price it effectively so that the firm can take appropriate value. Perceived value pricing is effective in pricing of premium goods and services with a large intangible component. Perceived value pricing are emerging as a third alternative to skim pricing and penetration pricing strategies. The study conceptualizes the construct of perceived value price, examines methods to build perceived value, discusses issues in management of perceived value and lays out implications for pricing strategists through an empirical study that suggests ‘money for value’ is acceptable to the consumer.

  • The Marketing Plan
    The Marketing Plan The most important part of a business plan is the Marketing Plan. To keep one’s business on course this plan must be geared toward the business’s mission—its product and service lines, its markets, its financial situation and marketing/sales tactics. ♦ The business must be aware of its strengths and weaknesses through internal and external analysis and look for market opportunities. ♦ The business must analyze its products and services from the viewpoint of the customer—outside-in thinking. What is the customer looking for and what does the customer want (benefits)? The business must gain knowledge of the marketplace from its customers. ♦ The business must analyze its target markets. What other additional markets can the business tap into and are there additional products or services the business can add? ♦ The business must know its competition, current and potential. By identifying the competitor’s strengths and weaknesses the business can improve its position in the marketplace. ♦ The business must make decisions on how to apply its resources to the target market(s). ♦ The business must utilize the information it has gathered about itself, its customers, its markets, and its competition by developing a written Marketing Plan that provides measurable goals. The business must select marketing/sales tactics that will allow it to achieve or surpass its goals. ♦ The business must implement the plan (within an established budget) and then measure its success in terms of whether or not the goals were met (or the extent to which they were). The Marketing Plan is an ongoing tool designed to help the business compete in the market for customers.

  • “Value” in the Theory of Marketing

Tel: 8-499-237-9496. E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 2, 2015 Accepted: January 28, 2015 Online Published: April 2, 2015 doi:10.5539/ass.v11n9p320 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v11n9p320 Abstract This paper discusses the use of the term of “value” in the framework of marketing. Analysis of the literature led us to the conclusion that it is necessary to consider the term of “value” in the framework of marketing as a separate category of marketing theory, which includes a whole group of concepts. The basis for our findings served as the analysis of the definition of “value” in the disciplines included in the multi-disciplinary marketing database. The paper suggests that the price is not a marketing measure for “value”. In addition, the paper outlines further research aimed at the development and systematization of the concepts included in the category of “value” in marketing. Keywords: value in marketing, category of marketing, definition of marketing, marketing theory 1. Introduction Discussion on considering marketing as an independent science has a long history. Specific features of marketing, such as its applied nature, dualism, significant methodological apparatus borrowed from other disciplines come as a barrier when considered as an independent discipline.

  • Consumer Shopping Value Post-Print
    Consumer shopping value: An investigation of shopping trip value, in-store shopping value and retail format Lizhu Davis 1, Nancy Hodges 2 Abstract Although delivering value is the key for retailers to create new competitive advantages, the literature on consumer shopping value is fragmented and findings are inconsistent. This study aimed to understand consumer shopping value in-depth by examining consumer shopping processes and experiences in two retail formats: mass merchandisers and department stores. This study conceptualizes consumer shopping value as having two components: shopping trip value and in-store shopping value. Shopping trip value is originated by fulfillment of general shopping motivations, and in-store shopping value stems from retail elements that create in-store shopping experiences that consumers have in specific retail contexts. Five shopping trip value dimensions and six in-store shopping value dimensions are identified from the in-depth interviews. The findings highlight how consumer shopping value is a complex and context specific construct. Keywords : Consumer shopping value, Department stores, Mass merchandisers 1. Introduction From the birth of the marketing concept in the 1950s, academics and businesses have sought to understand the processes and factors involved in meeting consumers’ wants and needs, i.e., delivering value to consumers. Much of this work is based on the cognition, affect, and behavior (CAB) model that assumes the consumption process is a causal flow from consumer cognition to consumer affect to consumer behavior, that is, cognition variables (information seeking) determine affective responses (state of predisposition) which in turn guide behavioral effects (the choice process and purchase). Since the 1980s, the experience-oriented consumption perspective has become more prominent, particularly with the work of Holbrook and Hirschman (1982).

  • Customer Lifetime Value: Marketing Models and Applications
    CUSTOMER LIFETIME VALUE: MARKETING MODELS AND APPLICATIONS Paul D. Berger Nada I. Nasr ᭿ ABSTRACT PAUL D. BERGER is Professor and Customer lifetime value has been a mainstay concept in direct response Chairman of the Marketing Department at the School of marketing for many years, and has been increasingly considered in the Management, Boston University. field of general marketing. However, the vast majority of literature on the topic (a) has been dedicated to extolling its use as a decision- making criterion; (b) has presented isolated numerical examples of its calculation/determination; and (c) has considered it as part of the general discussions of profitability and discussed its role in customer acquisition decisions and customer acquisition/retention trade-offs. There has been a dearth of general modeling of the topic. This paper presents a series of mathematical models for determination of customer lifetime value. The choice of the models is based on a systematic theoretical taxonomy and on assumptions grounded in customer behavior. In NADA I.
