More on Penetration Pricing
One of the most common examples of penetration pricing is ‘buy one get one free’, where you offer an item free with a related purchase. This tactic works much better than a 50% discount, as the word ‘free’ has a strong psychological effect on consumers. Customers often buy other products to compensate for the discounted one. This strategy is an excellent way to move dead stock and introduce new products. A new product can be linked with a top selling product in a similar category.
