Marketing Management Individual Project (MMIP): Price and Deliver Value Offering Assignment

Q1. Explain the selected pricing strategy (penetration, skimming, competitor-based, etc.).
(Ch.11) Amazon’s competitor-based strategy is to simply have a wide range of products and services at affordable prices. Amazon puts prices on their products, no doubt, but their own affordable delivery system makes it hard for Amazon’s competitors to compete with. This strategy allows Amazon to have set prices to generate profit; but it will also attract potential customers looking for any deals for high quality products. Now, Amazon’s skimming strategy consists of a new product having a high price and then it gradually lowers as their competitors offer higher prices. This strategy increases the demand for Amazon; but they are usually able to meet it with their supply. As for the penetration strategy, Amazon uses this strategy to increase their consumer traffic in whatever region of the world they operate in. Now because Amazon’s business is done through the internet, the goal of becoming the world’s customer-centric business
becomes a little easier for implementing this strategy.
Q2. Discuss various pricing tactics (product line pricing, captive pricing, price bundling,
etc.) that have or would prove effective in stimulating sales. (Ch.11) Currently, Amazon uses a pricing tactic called Dynamic Pricing. Authors Yan, Zhu, Korolko, and Woodard state that Dynamic Pricing is the “
dynamic adjustment of prices for rides based on real-time demand and supply conditions. DP is called “surge pricing” by Uber and ‘prime time’ by Lyft.” (Yan, Zhu, Korolko, and Woodard, 2019) This type of pricing is used by an algorithm which starts their products with high prices. Then, the prices are lowered with time to offer affordable prices in comparison to their competitors. Amazon also uses the Price

Bundling pricing tactic to help entice consumer and longtime customers with buying multiple items that possess certain qualities to their preferences. However, these bundles are carefully thought about with their own uniqueness, especially if there is a specific target audience that needs to be reached. These bundles are generally put together by brand, as well as the season of the sales.
Q3. Explain the channels of distribution (manufacturer to retailer to consumer, etc.) used
to distribute the product/service. (Ch.12) Amazon uses
both direct and indirect distribution channels
.
For the direct distribution channel, it requires products to be sold to consumers directly. However, the indirect channel requires the consumers to buy their products from various retailers and those retailers must provide Amazon with the supplies needed for them to complete the consumer’s order. Amazon's distribution channels are used through different means such as an e-commerce platform, third-
party stores, Amazon advertising, Amazon Prime, and physical stores.
Q4. Discuss the distribution strategy (intensive, selective, exclusive) relevant to the
product/service. (Ch. 12) According to Mr. Gennaro, “Amazon’s distribution approach is a hybrid ecosystem of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) strategies.” (Gennaro, 2023) Amazon operates entirely through an e-commerce platform to conduct business for many consumers and third-party businesses. With this hybrid distribution strategy, Amazon can sell their products to people from the United States to the other end of the world.

Integrative ExerciseRelevant Costing, Cost-Based Pricing, Cost Behavior, and Net Present Value Analysis for NoFat
Special Sales Offer Relevant Analysis
NoFat manufactures one product, olestra, and sells it to large potato chip manufacturers as the key ingredient in nonfat snack foods, including Ruffles, Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos brand products. For each of the past 3 years, sales of olestra have been far less than the expected annual volume of 125,000 pounds. Therefore, the company has ended each year with significant unused capacity. Due to a short shelf life, NoFat must sell every pound of olestra that it produces each year. As a result, NoFat's controller, Allyson Ashley, has decided to seek out potential special sales offers from other companies. One company, Patterson Union (PU)—a toxic waste cleanup company—offered to buy 10,000 pounds of olestra from NoFat during December for a price of $2.20 per pound. PU discovered through its research that olestra has proven to be very…
