Essentially, I would research my competitors, how much hotels were charging, and if there were any major events/conferences/concerts near my listings. I grew frustrated and decided to outsource this specific part of my operation. That was fine for my first listing but quickly became a time-suck as I got more units. It took me a while to research all of the available solutions out there.įor a while, I was adjusting my pricing manually. I was using Everbooked before, but they decided to discontinue their dynamic pricing after the acquisition( you can read about it on everbooked). I have been using BP for almost a year now. How I Increased My Revenue by 33% Using Beyond Pricing (BP) I can set my minimum price to 500 dollars, but obviously, that is not going to get me booked because my competitors are charging less and my place is not nice enough where I can justify charging 500 dollars per night.

It may well be the paramount consideration in many cases, but for some purchases other elements in the MARKETING MIX (product quality and performance etc.) may be equally if not more important. In other cases, however, prices are variable, being determined by prevailing demand and supply conditions as with the sale, for example, of a STOCK or SHARE, a house or items sold at an auction.īecause a purchase involves a money outlay on the part of buyers who operate within a budget constraint, the price of a product is an important factor in the buying decision.

This is usually an anti-inflationary measure and tends to distort, rather than eliminate, the law of supply and demand. Governments can and have controlled the prices of certain goods and services by subsidy or decree. Prices likewise rise when the value of money declines.

Prices tend to be regulated by the law of supply and demand that is, a price of a good or service increases with smaller supply and/or greater demand. Normally, prices are expressed in terms of money, but practices such as countertrade and PIK securities indicate that prices may be expressed in goods: 'four chickens for two sheep.' Price is a necessary component of trade. Price represents the amount of value the market has assigned, fairly or unfairly, to a good or service. The value of a thing with real or perceived worth.
