Consumer Perceptions of Prices
● Price-Quality Relationships
– Consumers’ perceptions of product quality
is closely related to price
– Most marketers believe that this perceived
price-quality relationship holds over a
relatively wide range of prices
– In other situations, marketers establish
price-quality relationships with
comparisons that demonstrate a product’s
value at the established price
● Price is a proxy for quality

Consumer Perceptions of Prices
● Odd Pricing
– Odd pricing (charging $39.95 or $19.98
instead of $40 or 20)
– Commonly-used retail practice, as many
retailers believe that consumer favor
uneven amounts
– Items on sale may end in a different
number, e.g. 7: $17.97, $13.87.
