Summary Introduction

Case summary: Company WM's ongoing web price glitches creates incorrect prices which are inadvertently posted on the website, which is only one out of a string of Web price glitches frequenting the sellers. The blunder prompted exceptionally low prices for routinely higher-priced goods, for example, treadmills, TVs, and PC screens, with some priced under $10.

This information spread rapidly through social media sites and purchasers hurried to place orders before Company WM wised up. Nobody was keen in buying the inaccurately priced floor cleaner Product L for $100 or drink packets Product KA for $70, however they beyond any doubt needed to exploit the takes. Most online price glitches, whenever got before the product is sent, are not honoured by the seller.

Characters in case: Company WM, Product KA and Product L.

To discuss: The suggestions to marketers for handling such problems.

A pricing strategy considers portions, capacity to pay, economic situations, contender activities, trade margins and input costs, among others. It is focused at the characterized customers and against contenders.
