Why is pricing important?
Without a clear, consistent structure to pricing, consumer goods companies will inevitably put themselves at risk from pricing exposure, lose money through ineffective pricing, and potentially create chaos with little guidance for new product pricing.
Most consumer goods companies are grappling with a 'spaghetti' of inherited pricing, and have to tackle this alongside the challenges of the rapidly evolving retail landscape. This quickly becomes a complicated task that’s easy to get lost in. Furthermore, rising commodity costs and inflation aggravate the pain.
To prevent margin erosion and losing out on market share, strategic pricing techniques are essential for FMCGs looking to drive growth.
