Course Overview

Many managers treat pricing as a tactical problem and end up pricing their products just to cover costs, which results in undermining their profits. By pricing for competitive advantage, they undermine value.

While tariffs may help some domestic regions, economists concur that free trade policies in a global market are an essence of trade. Tariffs are designed to protect small industries and developing economies but are also used by more developed economies and industries.

On the other hand, a subsidy is a transfer of money from the government to an entity which leads to a fall in the price of the subsidised product. Taking all this into consideration, pricing products and services is a strategic challenge that requires insight, analysis, and perspective.

This program informs senior managers and executives responsible for pricing decisions of the concept and methods needed to comprehend strategic pricing and execute it in their own organisation.

Why is this Market Competition and Rates (Tariffs and Subsidies) program useful? Pricing policies act as an interface between a company and its products with its customers and is seen as one of the fundamental elements of modern marketing management.

An upsurge in competitive pressure, shorter product lifecycles, and ever-changing markets have made having a marketing mindset and knowing its methods more important because they allow you to generate real corporate value.

The Internet, digitisation, social media, and other new forms of communication present a major challenge to modern marketing. Marketing competition, therefore, is increasingly becoming a question of communication, relationship management and customer value and how to build, develop, and leverage that value.

This Zoe training course will enable you to achieve your strategic marketing objectives, introduce new products to the market profitably, react to substantial price competition, and assign prices that reflect the true value of your products.
