Directions for Week Four Paper on Pricing

Read this week’s required article: “How Companies Can Get Smart About Raising Prices” – Article is attached as a PDF

Ailawadi, K. L. (2013, Jul 21). How companies can get smart about raising prices; marketers too often do precisely the wrong things, alienating customers and getting little return. Here’s how they can do it right. Wall Street Journal (Online). Retrieved from the ProQuest database.

o Explain how to successfully get customers to pay more for your products. Reference the article in support of your response.

The paper:

· Must include a separate title page with the following:

When I read the directions it suggests that you are NOT creating a product and how you would price it, but reading the article and discussing what is in the paper and your reading and discuss how you might raise prices on a product based on a specific pricing strategies discussed in week four.  If I were writing this paper I would use subject header like this:

Ø Introduction

Ø Synopsis of Learnings from Article

Ø How to Get Consumers to Pay More for Products

Ø Recommendation of a Specific Pricing Strategy Used to Raise Prices

Ø Conclusion
