Rigid Pricing
The problem with unit pricing is that most of the items are either under-priced or overpriced. The overpriced items don’t sell and the under priced items don’t receive full value. Unit pricing is also contradictory to the trend of thrift stores selling more and more items online. Obviously, identifying the proper value of merchandise makes a difference.
Wouldn’t it be better if all items had a bar coded price tag?
Then, the price can be variable and accurately reflect the value of the merchandise. Also, shoppers would have a consistent way to see the price and cashiers would have an efficient method of check-out.
A flexible pricing model allows businesses to quickly adapt to market conditions. Special promotions, seasonal sales, and setting the right price will optimize merchandise value and merchandise throughput.
