There are several pricing strategies that companies can employ depending on the quality of the product and desired price point. Premium pricing involves charging above normal market value to signal that a product is more valuable. High-value pricing sets an initially low price to gain market share before increasing the price. Superb value and good value strategies balance quality and price to provide customers with a fair deal. In contrast, overcharging, rip-off, and false economy strategies charge too much for the quality received and risk alienating customers. Economy strategies keep both product quality and price low to maximize sales.
