Pricing Tactics, pg. 467
Rebate, pg. 469
1.
Which pricing tactics does each company utilize? Evaluate the effectiveness of each
one of these tactics for the particular pizza chain.
Papa John’s
The
pricing tactics
for this chain is at a premium since they have “Better
Ingredients, Better Pizza.” Although this was the least effective of them
due to them running special deals because most of their consumers are
price concerned. Papa John’s also offers a
rebate
, if a customer is not
satisfied with their choice of pie. “In recent quarters Papa John’s
announced a 5% growth rate” (Grewal, 482).
Little Caesars
Little Caesars bases their pricing tactics on Economy Pricing. They have
the lowest price at $5 and are guaranteed hot and fresh upon arrival (no
wait time). They don’t make pizza order pizzas, the majority of stores. Of
all other chains, “Little Caesars’ sales increased from $2.9 million to $3.4
million over a two year period” (Grewal, 482).
Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut is based off of Bundle Pricing. They have $5 one-topping pizzas
as long as customers purchase another item off of their “flavor menu.” By
bundling items, they increase items sold. Recently, Pizza Hut has seen flat
lining sales. Maybe this is due to the higher end flavor menu items not
making up for the other losses they take on their “lower value” pizza.
The Rest of the Market
This varies especially due to the countless small town pizza restaurants
located all around the country
2.
How might the current price wars change the pricing tactics used by the major
pizza chains?
Pizza chains will add value to the product without lowering the price. Instead of
continually lowering prices to the point of harming the business and to win a price war,
they must be strategic in their will power. Creative marketing and advertising will help
win price wars all day long. Spending revenue on the occasional marketing campaign is
an occasional expenditure that can hopefully help you make more money. Adding value
to the pizza business in other ways than giving away somebody else’s products is the best
way because the value is still strong for the customer.
They will advertise if they can’t lower their prices more in the price war. They
will undercut the price, tempting to go even lower to the point of having no profit. But
instead, they should spend money on advertising products. The same has been done by
pizza chains as well. The cost of the ads might get their total profit to zero dollars, but as
the popularity of the item grows, they can reduce or remove the ads and return to
profitability based on not having lowered the price.
They will focus on the brand. Instead of trying to get people to spend as little
money as possible on their product, they should focus on building up the pizza business’s
trustworthiness. In order to do that, pizza chains try focusing on values that competitors
will have a hard time to compete with them on. Consumers benefit from price wars, and
they naturally like to pay less, but they want a good experience too. Pizza chains can also
be reassured that the money they spend on their business is worth it.
