- Marketing mix can create pricing problems when the price does not match product value, buyer budget, or competitor position.
- Customers may reject the offer when the price feels higher than the benefit they receive.
- The business may also lose profit when the price is set too low only to attract sales.
- Market research must be strong before the final price is selected.
- Competitor pricing can pressure a business to lower prices even when costs are high.
- Customer budget limits can reduce demand for products placed at the wrong price level.
- A weak price decision can damage both sales volume and profit margin.
