Memo 7 To:Pricing Manager, Central State Region From:Vice President, Marketing Re:Strategic Pricing Decision Our only competitor in the Central State region currently provides bundled services at $79.95. We are currently charging a 10 percent premium over its price, but there are rumors that it is contemplating a 10 percent price increase to bring its price in line with ours. We don’t know its cost structure, so we don’t know whether its price increase is driven by rising costs or a strategic move to gain margin.Historically, when we both charge the same price, our market share is about 65 percent.
