If your target market whose income is less than Rp. 2 million, but sold shoes that cost more than 400 thousand, will likely be difficult to sell even though they have declared your product is very good shoe. Conversely, if selling in the high-income environments, while the price offered is very cheap, so they will not buy because they think your products can be easily damaged.

Variations of products will make a customer can add items purchased. For example, you sell sate (food from Indonesia). Usually the buyer to wait a long time until satenya cooked. Therefore, while waiting for that you can offer tofu or tempeh fried snacks. In this way, customers do not just buy sate, but buy other food. Do not forget the waiter should be diligent in offering goods in your shop.

In the retail business (retail), location plays a very important because the business premises will be visited by consumers. Unlike the businesses whose sales made by consumers go directly to the office location was not affecting the business.

Someone would ask, why there are foods stalls are located far away from the crowds, but still selling. Would not that mean the location is not important? If there are stalls that are difficult to reach, but in demand, there must be other advantages, one of them through word of mouth promotion is very effective.

Block pricing is also known as “wholesale price”. This price is set so that the buyer chooses to purchase all or nothing. Traders in Pasar Senen cakes often use this strategy to spend his cake when the stock was about to close his stall.

When we want to hire a seminar room at the hotel plus the consumption of the hotel can offer a package of lease space and the price of food in one package, which is subject to USD 150,000.00 per person, including room rents and our seminars.

4. Peak load pricing
Passenger train or a plane in the holiday season to pay the price more expensive than a regular day. Conversely, a restaurant in the shopping center often gives price discounts to consumers who shop on weekdays.

5. Randomized pricing.
Often employers do not want the seller deliberately frank about the real price to the competitors, even to consumers so that sellers set prices at will, depending on the situation. This is often felt in the sights, when they want to buy souvenirs. The seller usually gives a very high price and we can bargain with the lowest possible price. If not good at bargaining, then the price is going relatively expensive price

Passengers who have time enough to choose fairly cheap ticket promotions, but for business people or people who went in hurry then the ticket price are not too important, provided that they leave immediately.

b) Second degree price discrimination. This approach uses a different pricing strategy for the same customer. Usually the price difference occurs because the volume of purchases. Such as buying clothes at wholesale mango in two, one-piece price of Rp. 100,000.00. If you buy one dozen, price per piece could fall to USD. 75,000,000.00. this price is very commonly practiced by the merchants.

c.) Third degree price discrimination. This strategy was carried out by different prices for different markets. Normally differentiated pricing for these differences in market potential.
