Price CE Products Correctly The First Time
September 21, 2007
Steve Jobs Offers Rare Apology, Credit for iPhone | online.wsj.com
You can't un-ring the bell! Customers who buy any new consumer electronics product know that the price will erode over some reasonable period of time. This extraordinarily fast price drop hurts all manufacturers of comsumer electronics products. Now Apple is in a quandary, they can't ever do this again or consumers will assume that it's a pattern and they will quickly take a "wait and see" attitude for any new products. Many CE manufacturers always want to reap high margins for what they think are hot new products, knowing that they will be compelled to drop prices later to maintain demand and fend of competitors. But this strategy can have the opposite effect of causing the consumer to hesitate, wait, and perhaps buy later or worse case not buy at all. What's the answer? Price the product correctly right out of the gate and avoid the necessity to "apologize" to the public and explain the quickly deterioting price.
