TOP DYNAMIC PRICING STRATEGIES FOR RETAILERS
Having tiered pricing (from value products to premium) can target different customer segments at the price point they are willing to pay.
Segmented PricingIncrease prices when demand is high (or when competitors run out of stock) to maximize profit and lower prices when demand is low.
Peak Pricing
Change prices based on the time of day and how long they have been on the market.
Time-based Pricing
Dynamic pricing works because it allows businesses to remain competitive with 24/7 price monitoring and changes. This can boost profit by 25% on average.
