Price Sensitivity Research

The marketplace is constantly evolving, and there are times in every industry when it is necessary to assess your pricing strategy.

Price Sensitivity Research is valuable in gaining perspective into the optimal price-value balance. W5 typically uses the Van Westendorp pricing model to efficiently evaluate client pricing. 

The Van Westendorp technique applies four simple questions regarding a product or service, requiring survey respondents to rate each price in context with product/service offerings and perceived benefits. This method yields clear, intuitive data that identifies the range of acceptable price points, providing a solid basis to assess pricing strategy. 

“Research means that you don’t know but are willing to find out.”

—Charles F. Kettering

Understanding consumers’ Price Sensitivity can help you:

  • Identify the optimal price point for a product or service

  • Model the range of acceptable prices driven by consumer purchase intent and in the context of brand equity, offerings, and benefits

  • Assess consumer demand above and below the pricing range to understand market implications
