秘密

u know, i think it's smart to stay with the same low price.
your customers will be pleased.

we think that the basis price should stay low.
it's wrong to raise prices just because market demand is going up fast.

right. with such competitive prices, your regular customers will buy only from u.
and i am sure you will get a lot of new customers.

i am just afraid we might start a price war.
the bigger compaies might lower their prices to try to take our customers away, and close us down.

if later they try to compete with u by lowering their prices
i think the consumers would know they had loaded prices before
and would feel cheated.

well, i do not think the consumers would know unless someone tells them.

I really think this price is too high.
A price has to be based on costs and the profit you want.

I know. But pricing has to be based on what customers want too, which differs from place to place and time to time.

Yes, experience shows the same product is priced differently in different markets.
But why so much higher in this market?

There are many rich people in this area, so a skimming price is ok and even needed, because they think only a high price means a good product.

But the market prices for other similar products are much lower.
Buyers will notice the flexibility in the price structure, and buy from other companies.

I don't think so. I think the others will have to raise their price ceiling to make customers believe that their products are as good as ours.
