Pricing and Profit Optimisation
Research tells us that increased prices are a much stronger profit lever than increased volume or cost cutting. On average, a 1% increase in prices will result in a 12% increase in EBITDA, whereas a similar increase in volume results in a 3.5% improvement, and a decrease in variable cost will deliver a 6.5% improvement.
What would a 1% price change do to your bottom line?
As more and more products are becoming similar in quality and features, strong brand names have a harder time justifying major price premiums. Thus, many companies are experiencing an increasing pressure on their core product prices from low-cost countries. In both B2B and B2C arenas, this has a detrimental consequence; it is putting too much pressure on the bottom line. Our experience shows us that pricing can be a fast way to resolve these symptoms.
