- 2. GEOGRAPHICAL PRICING Adjustingan item's sale price based on the buyer's location. Sometimes the difference in sale price is based on the cost to ship the item to that location or what the people there are willing to pay. Geographical pricing might result in a California-grown avocado costing less in San Francisco than in Omaha, for example. Companies will try to gain maximum revenue in the markets in which it operates, and geographical pricing enables such practices.
- 4. Geographic Pricing Strategies: In pricing, a seller must consider the costs of shipping goods to the buyer. These costs grow in importance, as the freight becomes a larger part of total variable costs. Pricing policies may be established whereby the buyer pays all the freight expense, the seller bears the entire cost, or the seller and the buyer share this expense.
- 5. Point-of-Production Pricing Ina widely used geographic pricing strategy, the seller quotes the selling price at the point of production and the buyer selects the mode of transportation and pays all freight costs. Usually referred to as FOB factory pricing, this strategy is the only one in which the seller does not pay any of the freight costs. Under FOB factory pricing, the seller nets the same amount on each sale of similar quantities. The delivered price to the buyer varies according to the freight costs.
- 6. Uniform Delivered Pricing The same delivered price is quoted to all buyers regardless of their locations. This strategy is sometimes referred to as "postage stamp pricing" because of its similarity to the pricing of first-class mail service.
- 7. Zone-Delivered Pricing Thisdivides a seller's market into a limited number of broad geographic zones and then sets a uniform delivered price for each zone. Zone-delivered pricing is similar to the system used in pricing package-delivery services.
- 8. Freight-Absorption Pricing Topenetrate distant markets, a seller may be willing to absorb part of the freight cost. Thus, under freight-absorption pricing, a manufacturer will quote to the customer a delivered price equal to its factory price plus the freight costs that would be charged by a competitive seller located near that customer. A freight-absorption strategy is adopted to offset competitive disadvantages of FOB factory pricing. With FOB factory price, a firm is at a price disadvantage when trying to sell to buyers located in markets near competitor's plants. The reason? Since buyers pay the freight costs under FOB factory pricing, these charges will grow as the distance between the supplier and the customer increases. A nearby supplier has an advantage over more distant suppliers – at least with respect to freight costs. Freight absorption erases any price advantage due to differences in freight costs.
