- 2. 11-2 Pricing Decisions are Creating Major Challenges for Many Companies Examples Include: Threats to major airlines by discount carriers. Pressures on drug companies to reduce prices. Intense price competition on supermarket chains by Wal- Mart and Costco. Aggressive discounting by U.S. automobile producers to retain market share. Threats to strong brands by counterfeit products.
- 3. 11-3 Part of the reason that pricing is misused and poorly understood is the common practice of making it the last marketing decision. We think that we must design products, communications plans, and a method of distribution before we have something to price. We then use pricing tactically to capture whatever value we can.

- 13. 11-13 Pricing Pressures in the Personal Computer Market The personal computer market offers an interesting look at the effects of intense competition. Dell, Inc. continually looks to lower its operating expenses in an effort to pass savings to customers. The result over time has enabled Dell to profitably grow at a multiple of the industry, which has had a negative effect on companies such as Hewlett-Packard Co. The pricing pressure on rivals is one of the reasons that led to the merger between Compaq Computer and H-P. The aggressive price competition resulted in H-P’s PC unit reporting a loss in 3rd Quarter 2003. A major competitive hurdle for H-P is Dell’s low-cost direct-sales business model.

- 33. 11-33 SPREADING the Word on the Net Online advertising is growing at a sizzling 29% rate, to $9.3 billion this year. Here’s why: SEARCH WORKS Google and Yahoo! have demonstrated the power of the Web by using customers’ search queries to connect them with advertisers. This combination fuels a search industry expected to hit $3.9 billion this year. CUSTOMERS ARE ONLINE More than half of American households have always-on Net connections. And the Web reaches millions at the office. The Big Three portals-Yahoo, AOL, and MSN-reach a combined 50 million a day-twice the TV audience of a World Series game. VIDEO ROCKS The adoption of broadband, which can handle video, lets advertisers put TV-like ads online. Longer spots by BMW and Adidas have reached cult status. As demand for video soars, portals sell choice slots in advance, much like TV’s up-front sales. FEEDBACK IS INSTANT Marketers and online publishers have tools to track an ad’s performance in real time, allowing them to make quick adjustments if customers aren’t clicking. This turns the Net into a vast marketing lab. And as video grows, it becomes a test bed for TV ads. CUSTOMERS LEAVE TRAILS It was an empty promise during the dot-com days, but now advertisers have the technology to follow customers, click by click, and to hit them with relevant ads. The upshot? No wasted money peddling dog food to cat owners. Source: Stephen Baker, “The Online Ad Surge,” Business Week, November 22, 2004, 79.
