TheHeraldNM 5568 And Growing! When it comes to finding the right price for your product or service, there is no formula and no single correct answer. Even within the same industry, what works for one company won’t necessarily work for the next. Today, a Google search for the term “pricing products” returns 297 million results, almost double the results of a search for the phrase, “writing a business plan” – a business process that does have a formula, and which can be learned. Pricing products correctly is by comparison, an art. It requires an awareness of the market as it currently exits, the vision and ability to see a market as it could or will exist, and the logic to decide on a figure that will cover costs, send a message and maximize sales. YOUR STARTING PRICE DEFINES YOU In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios was a very different company than the one we know today. It was a hardware company whose main focus was on selling the Pixar Image Computer. In these early days, the partners of the company –Steve Jobs, Alvy Ray Smith, John Lasseter and Ed Catmull– struggled with figuring out how to run the type of business they had just started. For Ed, an early concern was figuring out how much to charge for their machine: “I was told by the presidents of Sun and Silicon Graphics to start with a high number. If you start high, they said, you can always reduce the price; if you lowball it and then need to raise the price later, you will only upset your customers. So based on the profit margins we wanted, we decided on a price of $122,000 per unit. Big mistake. The Pixar Image Computer quickly gained a reputation for being powerful, but too expensive. When we lowered the price later, we discovered that our reputation for being overpriced was all anyone remembered. Regardless of our attempts to correct it, the first impression stuck,” – Ed Catmull, Creativity Inc. Ed Catmull acknowledges that for a complex question like pricing, there is no simple answer. Rather, focus on the bigger questions: How will you meet your customers’ expectations? How will you invest in further development of the product? Finding answers to questions that keep the ‘bigger picture’ in mind, should help you figure out the most appropriate price for your product. YOUR PRICE POSITIONS YOU IN THE MARKET While Ed argues against “start high” pricing advice, Tim Berry, the Founder of Palo Alto Software, believes that pricing too low is the real risk: “There is no algorithm for pricing. It’s mostly instinct. Covering costs acts as a floor, not a useful indicator. Pricing is your strongest marketing message and most startups should price high, position themselves as premium value with premium price. Oh, and one of the common fallacies around is that startups are supposed to price below the competition. Wrong. Higher is better, by far; and then back that up with value.” –Tim Berry, Founder of Palo Alto Software. Tim and Ed may disagree on low versus high pricing, but both recognize that there is more to the question than a “tried and tested process.” According to Tim, you set your pricing based on your situation, the strategy you are pursuing, costs to produce, your competition, the weather, your instinct – basically, whatever is most important to you at the time. And while there is no formula for the right price, there are several mistakes you can avoid making when you get to this stage of planning: Mistake 1: Thinking it’s best to be the lowest price provider This approach may work for businesses that sell undifferentiated commodities, but strategies that center on being the “lowest price” usually require a lot of initial investment and a very largeSee AFFORD on Page 14 YARD SALE DIRECTORY **CLIP ’N GO!!** DIRECTORY **FEBRUARY 18, 2015** ***WILLIAMSBURG*** Feb. 19, 20 & 21 9:00am-? 124 E.
