Pricing & Sales Promotion
Why is Pricing important?
There is only one boss the
customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down,
simply by spending his money somewhere else.

Pricing Strategies
• Wal-Mart’s core pricing philosophy: be the market leader in price.
• Customers are looking for the greatest benefit for their money. • There are four ways to determine the price of an item:
– Costs– Value– Competition– Target return

Wal-Mart’s Pricing Strategies
• Sam Walton's view: no matter what the cost of the item, always pass a great deal on to the Customer.
• This philosophy has earned the Customers’ trust and loyalty over the years.
