Pricing for Innovation

How to set the right price for innovation.

Whether you are a new enterprise looking for a company-wide pricing model, or a well-established organisation planning to launch a new product, the initial prices will significantly determine your position within the market. A position that is hard to change. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of poor pricing models price products too low, leaving substantial amounts of money on the table and making customers raise doubts about the quality of the offering. On the other hand, if the price is too high, it can scare customers away.
