Explain : Rural Marketing Strategies: Pricing Strategies

Let us now understand the various strategies followed by marketers while planning for the product pricing in rural markets:Pricing Strategies

Differential Pricing: The pricing strategy for the rural markets should be different from that in urban markets. The product should be priced slightly cheaper to grab the attention of rural consumers.

Psychological Pricing: The psychological pricing is a tactic used to make the deal appealing to the consumers. A product is priced at odd amounts like ₹9, ₹59, ₹99, etc. which seems less than ₹10, ₹60 and ₹100 respectively. It is a fruitful strategy in rural marketing.

Create Value for Money: The rural consumers are more concerned about the durability of the products, i.e., the value it generates to the customer. They tend to pay a slightly higher amount for a better product with additional features.

Pricing on Special Events: In the rural areas, occasions and festival are highly valued and celebrated. Therefore, companies make use of these special events to attract rural consumers by giving them various offers and discounts.

Simple Packing: Rural consumers have a basic living standard. They don’t like to spend much on the products which have fancy packaging; instead, they look for the utility of the product. So it would be a waste of time and money if the brand spends on sophisticated product packaging.

Low Price Points: A consumer belonging to the rural area have limited resources out of which he or she needs to buy various daily utility products. Therefore, a product must be priced quite low to make it affordable for such consumers.

Schemes for Retailers: Rural retailers are the most significant medium of sales in the village. The companies must come up with cash discounts, gift schemes, offers and quantity discounts to build the loyalty of such retailers towards the brand and increase product sales.

Bundle Pricing: A bundle is a mix of different products in a single pack available to the consumer for a reasonable price. The marketers must plan for a product bundle pricing to make the offer appealing to the consumers and survive in the competitive rural market.
