Pricing objectives are subdivided into various factors, like; Profit Maximization, Revenue Maximization, Maximize Quantity, Maximize Profit Margin, Quality Leader, Partial Cost Recovery, Survival, Status Quo.

Keeping in mind revenue and costs, a company may want to maximize profits

Revenue Maximization: With less focus on profits, a company may focus on increasing revenues in order to increase market share and lower costs in the long term.

Maximize Quantity: A company may want to sell a specific number of items to decrease long term costs.

Maximize Profit Margin: Another objective may be to increase the profit margin for each unit and not focus on the total number of units sold.

Quality Leader: A company may want to use price to signal high quality and establish itself as the quality leader.

Partial Cost Recovery: If an organization has multiple revenue streams, it may not be too focused on recovering a hundred percent of its costs.

Survival: Sometimes, the best a company may want to do is to cover costs and to remain in the market. If the market is in decline or there are too many competitors, survival may take temporary priority over profit.

Status Quo: There may be a need to avoid price wars with competitors. So a company may maintain a stable price to continue a stable profit level.

2. Make Marketing Mix Decisions

Once the segments and positioning is somewhat in place, the marketing mix planning comes into effect. Here the product, distribution, and promotional elements are decisions to focus upon and to finalize.

3. Estimate Demand Curve

Another market analysis needs to be conducted at this point. In this one, there needs to be specific information gathered about how the price affects the quantity of the product demanded.

4. Calculate Costs

A company can now get an accurate assessment of the total fixed and variable costs associated with the product. These are a necessary input for pricing decisions as the final price needs to at least cover these costs.

5. Assess Environment

Another vital element that feeds into pricing is the environment. This means an understanding of the competitor’s strategies, their product and its value as well as an understanding of any industry or legal constraints.

6. Set Pricing Objectives

As detailed above, there are several objectives that a company can have from its pricing strategy. This is the point in the process that those objectives need to be discussed and agreed upon.

Pricing Issues.    In a competive market, prices are often lowered so the consumer has a profit of that. When a product is sold to a different price then to another customer, you are talking about price discrimination. When a product price is high and then eventually sold for much lower, its called price skimming. Sometimes the value that a store or brand adds to a product may be much higher than its cost.
