    Pricing Strategies (Including The Product Launch)
    When a product is first launched into a market a firm will have to decide what price to charge.Penetration pricing This strategy uses a very low price to enter the market and gain market share. It makes sense if there are cost advantages to producing on a large scale. It can also be beneficial if the market is price sensitive, so that a lower price generates significantly higher sales.Price skimming This strategy uses a high price to enter the market.

    Training - Cost or Investment?

    You need these plans so you’re in control of your business; otherwise your business is being run on default and you end up spending money without a clear strategy. Many small business owners don’t have written plans because they think writing them will take too much time. The ones who do, succeed. Why not join them?
