Overview

Write an analysis of place and price (the second and third “Ps” of the marketing mix) for a selected product. There is no page limit for this assessment.

Selecting the best methodology for getting a product to the targeted customer is an essential aspect of an integrated marketing plan. The establishment of value, as manifested in a product’s price, is another essential part of a successful integrated marketing program.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 3: Examine the relationship of basic marketing strategies to business success.
    • Analyze relationships between a company’s place strategies for a product and the company’s economic success.
    • Analyze relationships between a company’s price strategies for a product and the company’s economic success.

    • Describe potential management challenges related to recommended changes to a company’s price strategies.

    Context

    In contemporary marketing, timeliness is critical, given the intense competition in most markets. Many successful companies have moved to a direct sales model in order to maintain greater control and better profit margins. Selection of non-direct distribution outlets carries the sales responsibility to the retail level, as outlets provide the primary interface with each customer. For some products, distribution is now friction free (friction being the lag between demand and supply). For certain kinds of software and other digital modalities (including music), delivery can be as simple as a download to your PC: no shortage of supply and no waiting.

    Often, superior marketing efforts are the sole support for a higher price. The key rule in pricing is to set a price point at which your target customers will buy. If you cannot make a profit at that point, then perhaps you do not need to be in that business.As complex as pricing decisions can be, many organizations rely on three basic methodologies:

    1. Cost-based pricing, which takes the basic costs of the product or service and adds an acceptable profit margin.
    2. Value-based pricing, which attempts to set a price or value for the product to either solve a problem or save time and money.
    3. Competition-based pricing, which simply follows along with what the market price is on similar products

    Questions to Consider

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

    • Supply chain management is an important part of a company’s distribution strategy. After reading the suggested articles in the Resources regarding REI, consider REI’s current channel and methods of distribution. How does REI use supply chain management? Does this method work well? How might it be improved?
