not entirely smoke <p> 3.15, 5.1 renewed war. .Red in May, hot promotions, and go hand in hand along with the price war in full swing. .In the context of oversupply in the market, price competition is undoubtedly the most common and effective means. .And quality, technology, services and other competitive means of comparison, price competition is not only effective, but also killing large area. .Therefore, every season, regardless of manufacturer or the flow of business, often scrambling to reveal their price war this does not seem adverse to the holy grail. .</ P> <P> <P> <p> Indeed, the price of one hand, the proper use of leverage can stimulate consumption, so that manufacturers and merchants to digest inventory, return of funds, thereby expanding market share, increase brand awareness; the other hand, can also .more benefits to consumers, which lower the price affordability, the higher price sensitivity is particularly important in the low-end consumers. .On the ceramic industry, as the city increasingly intense competition in the market, building materials introduced by the Government earlier this year against the backdrop of countryside policy, the vast rural market is bound to become a large ceramic enterprise effort to open up a second front. .And China's vast countryside to these potential customers into reality consumers, the quality of the protection of the basic premise of price-cutting strategy adopted, no doubt start the rural market, expand market demand for ceramic products, the best stepping stone. .Price competition within the ceramic industry there is another harvest, that can greatly enhance the tile and natural stone, wood flooring, carpet and other alternatives to competition, thus effectively expanding the overall market share. .</ P> <p> However, the price is a commercial channel of the tool, not easily seen by others, but not lightly used. .Used properly, can be invincible; used properly, also fear of hurting themselves. .Price war is not uncommon for cases of failure, such as a "price butcher" said Glanz have launched two in different industries, the results of different cases of a price war. .In the microwave industry, price wars by promoting the microwave Glanz round after round of industry shuffling, until his giant microwave oven industry pushed the throne of the world can be described as great success. .The same price war in the air conditioning industry Galanz action has failed. .The reason is the pioneer in the field of Galanz in the microwave, the brand has long been popular, so the price can be a wave of those who gathered in the banner; and those in the air conditioning was only later, are second-tier brand, market awareness is low, blindly .attempt to cut prices to expand market share, not only unable to do so, but the brand image of the great negative impact. .The case is worthy of our wake-up call: consumer demand is diversified personal, rather than blindly follow the price of the baton, the brand in the consumer decision-making influence in particular should not be overlooked. .Brands in the implementation of a price war at the same time, but also with its excellent quality and with the attentive service, the consumer price war to eliminate the doubts, not only can successfully achieve sales growth targets, but also maintain its strong brand image in order to achieve .win-win for businesses and consumers. .</ P> <p> the past two years, the pottery market price promotions wind blowing, but rallied and the effect of the result is effective Gradual. .When the author visited the building materials market dealers often heard laments, "Although the increase in sales promotions has reduced operating profit, but the basic price of less than those originally intended to buy high-end consumer groups." .</ P> <p> Although the price war is an important means of market competition, and even the market can be understood as a strong medicine, but not common, but not excessive. .Over-reliance on price competition means companies is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison, once developed into a vicious price competition, price war, companies will inevitably reduce the profits or even losses, even more frightening is to the detriment of the brand reputation and undermine the technological innovation of enterprises .staying power, enterprises and industries will ultimately have disastrous consequences. .Meanwhile, the price of the low, mid and high-end consumer is in turn weakened the influence of the more high-end consumer products are often placed more emphasis on the psychological and emotional dependence on a sense of satisfaction. .Therefore, to meet the comprehensive needs of target consumer groups than blindly cut prices to stimulate consumer desire to purchase important. .Only aware of this before the leading edge glimpse of Commercial Road. .</ P> <p> So, how good the price of the trade routes of the weapon it? .I think that the price gradient and the product differentiation is important to develop effective pricing strategies to ensure and support. .</ P> <p> price gradient is the price sensitivity of consumers for different levels of different pricing strategies formulated. .Pricing is not the thrust of the price level, but to be accurate, appropriate and accurate understanding of consumer groups to target the psychological expectations. .High low-end consumer price sensitivity, brand dependence is not strong, so low-priced products the most impact, use of holiday promotional discounts, you can attract a large number of such consumers. .As for the price of less sensitive high-end consumers, prices have psychological expectations, often more concerned about product quality, facilities, services and so on. .Not only interfere with the consumer price is likely to judge the value of the product may also undermine the consumer's emotional experience, or even direct damage to high-end brand image in the minds of consumers. .Faced with this situation, companies can take advantage of new and old products, and other means of adjustment of price changes, the formation of the price gradient, so that more targeted to meet the needs of different consumers. .</ P> <p> homogenization of the ceramic industry in product pricing strategy most obvious, such as brick factories and private brick throwing, the products, similar price as the only competitive chips. .When prices are often good business, product still in short supply; market downturn to lower prices, the backlog of products immediately swept away. .Although the price per unit is often also a few cents down the gap, but the intensity of market regulation is real, "skillfully deflected the question." .In contrast, product differentiation is best to avoid a price war by bombs. .Products (including services) to form a difference, you can control pricing, to avoid the opponent's price competition. .Ceramic industry is a low degree of industry attention, much less influence on its brand of food, daily necessities and other fast moving consumer goods far-reaching, and thus differentiated products are often the only way to strong prices. .</ P> <p> known since ancient times, soldiers, non-belligerent. .In the fierce competitive environment, price war is sometimes unavoidable, but only insight into market demand, familiar with the pricing strategy and a rational, prudent use, and even before winning a battle won without a fight, this is the highest price war .realm! .</ P>.
