Digital Price Optimization: How to Maximize Your Channel Revenue

By November 7, 2015 June 19th, 2020 No Comments

The world is going digital! People are increasingly buying online – books, music, groceries, food – almost anything is just a click away. Additionally, digital products are replacing physical ones in several forms especially for publishing companies. These factors together have led to explosive growth of the digital channel.

From a consumer perspective, this trend is great allowing them easy access to a large portfolio of products at a click of a button. However, for suppliers the complexity of the overall price management process has also exploded.

First, the traditional product price setting problem needs to account for the unique lifecycle effects of digital products in addition to determining which factors matter for pricing in the world of big data. Second, the dynamic nature of pricing presents a huge challenge (and opportunity) to continuously shape consumer demand and maximize profits by ensuring the right product price at the right time. Third, for certain products, physical sales (new & used) as well as streaming or rental options can impact digital pricing and demand. Finally, with almost no publishing and inventory costs, digital product portfolios can be enormous – the challenge of ensuring pricing coverage for the entire digital portfolio with small commercial teams can be a problem in itself.

This webinar will tackle these problems head-on and cover the following topics:

  • Digital Price Management Framework: Outline a framework for Digital Price Management focusing on every day (baseline) pricing
  • Digital Price Science Approach: Modelling and practical use of consumer price elasticity in the digital pricing context, a self-correcting and learning framework for use in dynamic price setting
  • Digital Pricing Best Practices: Outline how to run a best-in-class, value-led price management process enabled through latest technology to cover a large digital portfolio.

Participants will go away with a good overview of the latest thinking in terms of process, pricing techniques and technology to enhance digital pricing.
