The pricing decision
6.4 Loss leader pricing
When a product range consists of one or more main products and a series of related
optional ‘extras’, which the customer can ‘add on’ to the main product, the supplier
can set a relatively low price for the main product and a high one for the ‘extras’.
The aim is to stimulate sufficient demand for the former to ensure the target return
from sales of the latter.
