Marketing Strategy

Marketing strategy concerns the decisions marketers make to help the company satisfy its target market and attain its business and marketing objectives.  Price, of course, is one of the key marketing mix decisions and since all marketing mix decisions must work together, the final price will be impacted by how other marketing decisions are made.  For instance, marketers selling high quality products would be expected to price their products in a range that will add to the perception of the product being at a high-level. 

It should be noted that not all companies view price as a key selling feature.  Some firms, for example those seeking to be viewed as market leaders in product quality, will deemphasize price and concentrate on a strategy that highlights non-price benefits (e.g., quality, durability, service, etc.).  Such non-price competition can help the company avoid potential price wars that often break out between competitive firms that follow a market share objective and use price as a key selling feature.
