What ways can retailers increase profit maximization while also practicing pricing optimization? One of the reasons market retailers have been slow to explore and perhaps start profit maximization has been the up-rise in the eco-friendly “green” market. Now more than ever, retailers are beginning to offer customers greener solutions and more of a variety of greener, eco-friendly products. They are also looking at sustainability as a new way to take advantage of pricing optimization strategies and boost profits. Naturally, retailers are still looking at their competitor’s pricing to offer customers the best deals (often trying to be cheaper than their competitor’s pricing). Retailers most definitely want to help save the environment and assist their customers, but they also care about profits and how their pricing measures up to their competitor’s pricing. Most retailers may change their prices often on consumable goods, because they want to win the top spot on search engines for having the lowest prices. Take-back pricing and rent/leasing are options
Some eco-green products may include a take-back price. This way if there is a problem with the merchandise, the company doesn’t lose all profit off a sale. This fee is figured in automatically and may assist companies in boosting profit maximization. This may mean a company has quite a few eco-friendly items to sell and may have to rely on online competitive intelligence to assist in pricing a product. Even some companies that don’t often offer green products to consumers are discovering renting or leasing may help them increase profit maximization, while practicing pricing optimization. For example, Mercedes Benz discovered many customers liked the idea of owning a Mercedes, but couldn’t afford the upfront costs in their given locations. Customers can now own or lease a new Mercedes Benz and enjoy the experience of owning a luxury sedan. Are these sustainable solutions to use for future profit maximization strategies?
Since Mercedes Benz just started their leasing and renting options, it remains to be seen how this may give them an edge over their competitor’s pricing. However, companies are exploring new ways to boost their profits while keeping competitor’s pricing in check. While the older pricing strategies do work, retailers are realizing they may not be practicing price optimization to the fullest and may not be reaching out to younger generations of buyers. Companies are reaching out to those who value sustainability, while also offering new ways for them to reach pricing optimization and maximize profits. This also offers a company a way to best a competitor’s pricing using sustainable solutions.
