On the research Kenesei (2003), Price is found itself to be only one of the many factors faced by shoppers, with other factors like emotional costs and displacement costs. However, price is the cost that shoppers can best determine, and thus plays an important role in their decision. It also touches on the subject of promotions, whereby if a product is frequently on promotion, consumers will not buy it later unless it is again on promotion. It explains that price is among factors that’s affecting the consumer’s choice over the product.
There are also brand extensions. In a research done by DelVecchio (2005), brand extensions of known brands are likely to achieve price premiums because the known brand is able to reduce the perceived risk of the extended brand. The basic rationale for brand extension price premiums is that these risk reducing benefits have value and that some of that value should be accrued to the firm in the form of price premium (DelVecchio, 2005).
From researches, it is suggested that consumers not only may not buy a product when price is too high, but they will also suspect quality of product and not to buy when price is too low. Ultimately, consumers are looking at the perceived value of the product. Then,

Burberry uses competitive pricing similar to its competitors which produces a psychological effect on Burberry customers (Jacobson, n.d). If Burberry for example lowered its price dramatically then customers may believe the quality has decreased and may presume it’s not worthy to be named a luxury brand. However by being expensive it suggest better quality and desire to sustain its customers as well as making there products seem exclusive.

For the concept of standardization of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, branding and image are consistent in host markets with that of home market. Despite the expectation that cultural differences may affect the demand for their products and services the coffee shop felt that maintaining standardization was more important than adaptation. Standardization is enforced by the company on branding to ensure that the brand image and value is being perceived consistently by the customers in all markets. Adaptation has also applied to the product offering For example in its home country, the coffee shop have a limited range of food and beverage items in their outlets.

Today, a jar of instant coffee can be found in 93 per cent of British homes and increasingly consumers are trying out different types of coffee, such as cappuccino, espresso, mocha and latte. The expanding consumer demand for product choice, quality and value has led to an increase in the coffees being made available to a discerning public. ‘Value’ is the way in which the consumer views an organisation’s product in comparison with competitive offerings. So how does coffee get from growing on a tree perhaps 1,000m up a mountainside in Africa, Asia, Central or South America, to a cup of Nescafé in your home, and in millions of homes throughout the world? This case study explains why Nestlé needs a
In recent decades, coffee has flooded the market with an abundance of flavors as specialty coffee shops arose on almost every street corner. There used to be minimal choices in flavors such as dark roast or light roast, but now there is almost every flavor imaginable. These specialty flavors have been tailored for niche markets such as women and even young children. After visiting three different market tiers of coffee, I was amazed at vast variety, the differences in price and the various countries of origin. The low price market I visited was King Soopers, the mid price market was Starbucks Coffee, and the high price market was Boxcar Coffee.
Quite often, consumers purchase goods and services based on their perceived need. Upon making the decision that a need is present and a solution is available consumers are more equipped to react to that need. Although previously perceived that consumers will normally accept prices as presented by suppliers that remains to not be the case. Consumers assess and process prices based on past purchases and other psychological process they went through previously such as persuasive marketing strategies, accessibility of the goods or services and possibly information gathered from prior purchasers of a product. There are countless options that are available to consumers. Consumers are then faced with the choice of choosing the product that best fulfills their need at that given point. Consumers who are knowledgeable regarding prices will be aware of the approximated price for products (Zhao, Zhao & Deng, 2015).
Price, which is one of the most important elements of the marketing mix, can be difficult to get right. Pricing too high, or low, can negatively impact on customer satisfaction and revenue. Adopting a pricing strategy is necessary to achieve desired sales objectives (Chan & Wong 2005).
