Set by the market Supply and demand Seasonality & perishability
Competition Payback period – depends on impact on company profit Rule of thumb – Keystone Introductory low price to get customers to use Cost plus – markup Transaction fee Razor & razor blade A la carte

magazines, TV, internet Public relations – articles in paper, journals, blogs,
websites Printed materials – flyers, brochures Performances, concerts, exhibitions Exhibitions
Why is this the most effective strategy? Be imaginative! Be a guerilla!
Marketing Strategy
Guerilla Examples I New restaurant invites local hairdressers for free meal
just after opening Mattress retailer has sleep over advertising on the
ceiling of a retail store News is created so it will be covered in local
newspaper Computer store does computer training for underprivileged
kids Owner makes bold predictions, does something unusual
Articles are written by the entrepreneur for newspapers

Marketing Strategy
More Guerilla Examples II Reciprocal advertising: two businesses mention one
another in their ads
Store offers discount card/coupon that appreciates in value each time it is used
Coupon that is worth something different each time it is used
Theatre places speakers outside front of facility with movies soundtracks playing; bakery purposely lets smells waft into customer passageway of mall

Marketing Strategy
More Examples III Bowling alley charges based on number of
bowling pins customer knocks down Bicycle retailer puts promotional tags on bike
racks around town Day care center adds cameras and streaming
videos so parents can see how children are treated
Flower shop with lack of visibility at their location decorates popular park and some small cafes in the area with creative and simple flower arrangements
