are two different concepts that affect how consumers evaluate and purchase products or services.
Price and perceived value
is the amount of money that a seller charges for a product or service
Price
this is a type of price that is based on the cost of production, distribution, and marketing of a product or service, plus a desired profit margin.
This type of price is easy to calculate and implement, but it does not consider the customer’s willingness to pay or the competitive situation.
Cost-based pricing
is the customer’s own assessment of the benefits and costs of a product or service, especially in comparison to other alternatives.
Perceived value
this is a type of price that is based on the perceived value of a product or service to the customer, rather than the cost of production.
This type of price aims to capture the maximum value that customers are willing to pay for a product or service, and it requires a good understanding of the customer’s needs, preferences, and willingness to pay.
Value-based pricing
this is a type of price that is based on the prices of similar products or services offered by competitors in the market.
This type of price aims to match or undercut the competitors’ prices, and it requires a good knowledge of the market conditions and the competitive advantages and disadvantages of the product or service.
Competitive pricing
this is a type of price that is based on the psychological effects of price on customer perception and behavior.
This type of price uses various techniques, such as odd pricing (e.g., $9.99 instead of $10), prestige pricing (e.g., $999 instead of $1000), or bundle pricing (e.g., buy one get one free), to influence the customer’s perception of value and quality.
Psychological pricing
this is a type of perceived value that is based on the utility and performance of a product or service.
It reflects how well a product or service meets the customer’s functional needs and expectations, such as quality, reliability, durability, convenience, etc.
Functional value
this is a type of perceived value that is based on the feelings and emotions that a product or service evokes in the customer.
It reflects how a product or service makes the customer feel happy, satisfied, proud, confident, etc., or how it reduces negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, guilt, etc.
Emotional value
This is a type of perceived value that is based on the social benefits and costs of a product or service.
It reflects how a product or service affects the customer’s social status, image, reputation, relationships, etc., or how it conforms to or deviates from social norms and expectations.
Social value
this is a type of perceived value that is based on the curiosity and novelty of a product or service.
It reflects how a product or service satisfies the customer’s desire for new knowledge, experiences, discoveries, etc., or how it challenges or surprises the customer.
Epistemic value
are three important factors that affect customer’s perception of value and their buying behavior.
Price, quality, and sacrifice
is the amount of money that customers pay for a product or service.
Price
is the degree to which the product or service meets or exceeds customer’s expectations.
refers to the level of excellence or superiority of a product or service.
Quality
is the total cost of acquiring and using the product or service, including money, time, effort, etc.
refers to the cost or negative aspects associated with obtaining or using the product or service.
Sacrifice
means providing customers with clear and consistent information about these factors and how they relate to each other.
This can help customers to compare different products or services and make informed decisions based on their preferences and needs.
Integrating price, quality, and sacrifice information
In a study by Kent B.Monroe, he proposed a model for decomposing perceived product value into three components:
Quality, Sacrifice and Benifits
refer to the positive aspects associated with obtaining or using the product or service
Benefits
