exists for the company.Example: Cars (Jaguar, BMW, Ferrari)and Gillette Blades.

Penetration Pricing

• Price set to “penetrate the market”• Low price to secure high volumes• This is done when a new product launched• Price will be raised when the promotion

period is over and market share achieved.Example: Micromax canvas , Housing Loans.
