Many sellers and distributors are already aware that appropriate pricing, i.e. strategy and dynamic price management, is one of the key parameters for increasing sales and profit. With large sales volumes, even small differences in margins are significant.
Manual or automatic?
Being involved in analyzing and responding to changes made by competitors requires spending time and resources, which is often associated with expanding the price management department and creating ever-larger teams, thereby increasing operating costs. If we have a large volume of products, especially those available from many competitors, “manual” management becomes time-consuming and ineffective.
Sales platforms offer automatic machines for regulating the price, according to the assumed conditions, but they usually lower it, omitting the possibility of increasing the price depending, for example, on the availability of goods from competitors. So our profit is not optimal.
So what is the best way to deal with it??
It is worth considering the use of a tool that, in addition to collecting competitors’ prices, will allow you to compare this data with availability, verify non-price promotions that can also significantly affect sales, and check whether our products are visible to the customer, not hidden on the tenth page of the search results. . Based on the analysis of such complex data, we can create effective algorithms for calculating the optimal price so that increasing sales is associated not only with price struggle and the loss of a significant part of the margin.
