In today’s competitive retail landscape, an impactful pricing strategy is key to attracting and retaining customers. Retailers must go beyond traditional pricing methods to build a strong price perception and enhance customer loyalty. Engage3’s Price Image Management helps retailers refine their strategy by targeting key products that influence price perception, leading to increased profitability and long-term customer engagement.
Why a Modern Pricing Strategy Needs Price Image
Unlike traditional pricing methods, which use broad indexes to adjust prices across categories, a refined pricing strategy should focus on the most influential items. Studies show that shoppers build their perception of a store’s value from just a handful of products. These “Price Image Drivers” have a strong impact on customer loyalty and spending. Engage3’s solution leverages behavioral science to optimize prices for these specific items, creating a cost-effective strategy that balances perception and profitability.
