Sample - International Pricing Policy:
Export Prices

One of the most complicated aspects of the foreign trade is the pricing policy. An incorrect pricing policy can lead to a total failure in the international markets.

First of all; we should find out about prices in various foreign markets, this information will allow us to have some real criteria for setting our export prices.

However, we will meet the familiar dilemma: global or local prices?.

From another point of view, the price is attached to the selected Incoterm. In the more competitive markets; it is habitual to deliver the product to client´s premises, thereby offering DDP prices. In some countries this is impossible, and it will cause us problems.

When designing the international pricing policy; we will have previously carried out a survey of our competitor's prices in our different target markets.

We will be able to act according to this information one-way or the other. It will be a basic reference when establishing international prices. In this respect, the Internet is a valuable research tool for the exporter.

The pricing strategies to be followed in the foreign markets are often closely linked to the product life cycle. We must examine the pricing strategies for the various stages of the life cycle:

1- Introduction strategies:

  1. Setting low prices for penetration
  2. “Skimming” the market

2- Strategies for existing products:

  1. Maintaining a prestige prices
  2. Maintaining a given low price, when commercializing mass sale products
  3. Corrective actions
