Which are the four pricing strategies to navigate the post-holiday season?

Posted on 16 February by Simon Gomez in Pricing strategies


The festive season's glow may have faded, the decorations are packed away, and the post-holiday break descends upon the eCommerce landscape. While consumer behavior shifts to a post-holiday rhythm, many businesses see this as an opportunity to embark on post-holiday sales to maintain momentum and clear inventory. The key lies in adapting your pricing strategy, and PriceTweakers is ready to equip you with the tools and tactics to navigate the post-holiday sales. 

Strategic Bundles:

Embrace the spirit of discovery with targeted discounts on select items, attracting customers to your product offerings. Bundle complementary products at attractive prices to help you clear slow-moving stock. The most commonly used bundles are clearance and BOGO (Buy One, Get One Free). 

With clearance bundles, you pair a slow-moving item with a popular product at a discount, encouraging customers to also purchase the less popular product. 

Buy one get one bundle involves selling a main product and offering a discount on a complementary item. That strategy works great for products that are not typically repeat purchases. It also works when offering multiple units of the same product to encourage customers to buy more than they normally would. 

Flash Sales:

Flash sales allow you to offer limited-time discounts on specific products or categories, creating a sense of scarcity that drives impulse purchases. With flash sales, you must set the right price. You cannot go below your minimum margins because that will hurt your profits. With PriceTweakers, you will never do this because you can set your minimum margins for each product, allowing you to never lose money. 

Dynamic Pricing:

The dynamic pricing strategy allows your company to stay competitive in real-time. Change your prices according to demand, supply, and market trends. Lower prices when demand is slow and raise them when demand surges. That strategy ensures that you stay competitive and maximize revenue during peak seasons. 

Of course, manually doing this takes too long, and you will miss out on market opportunities. Use pricing software like PriceTweakers to automatically monitor your competitors and adjust your prices. 

New Discounts:

Starting the new year with special offers is one thing customers enjoy. Of course, before offering discounts, consider your price margins. Never go below it because you will lose money. Also, consider moving old products during this time and offer those items with big discounts to attract customers. It is a win-win situation because you will free some space and still earn money.
