PRICE STRATEGY
Our price strategy is to offer the car box for $2.99because it reaches the willingness to pay of the customers and it is below the price of competitors for a product that lasts a shorter time. We also want to offer a package with 2 Go Clean at the price of $ 4.99 as a psychological pricing. We think consumers will buy our product at this price because is cheaper than competitor’s prices; once they try the car box and know how it works, they can startthinking in switch to our product, this will push customers to buy two products instead of only one. We decided to diminish this price for two reasons; the first is to sale a high quantity of products instead of fewer products, and the second reason is because the lower price can attract other targets.
