Problem
Competition in today’s e-commerce market is not easy to compete with. Suppliers often find themselves unable to cater to the various needs of buyers while still managing to stay profitable. Many have to rely on static pricing strategies, which makes them lose potential buyers who look for flexible deals. This makes them miss opportunities and fail to get bulk orders and buyers with different budgets.
Here’s the reality: A one-size-fits-all pricing model limits your growth potential. Research from industry reports shows that suppliers using dynamic pricing models, like tiered pricing, experience a 25% increase in buyer retention and a 30% boost in bulk orders. If you’re sticking to a fixed pricing strategy, you’re likely leaving significant revenue on the table.
Agitation
Picture This: You’ve got quality products, but your pricing deters bulk buyers or budget-conscious customers. Buyers browse your catalogue, intrigued by your offerings, but abandon their carts because they find no incentive for buying in larger quantities or adjusting their order sizes. Meanwhile, your competitors, offering tiered pricing, are capturing those high-value bulk orders and building stronger buyer relationships.
The frustration of watching buyers buy your competition is a common issue for suppliers. Static pricing doesn’t just stunt your sales; it prevents you from maximizing your revenue potential and truly connecting with your buyers. You need a strategy that addresses different buyer needs while incentivizing larger purchases.
Solution
Tiered pricing is the game-changer you have been waiting for. It is more than a pricing model; it is a sales-increasing strategy to attract different types of buyers and destroy the competition. Here is how tiered pricing can help you win big:
Attract Bulk Buyers with Volume Discounts
Buyers who buy in bulk are usually looking for a better deal. Tiered pricing enables you to offer volume discounts, which will encourage buyers to buy in bulk. For example, offering a 5% discount for orders above 100 units and a 10% discount for orders above 500 units will encourage buyers to increase their order size. Suppliers using eKomn’s tiered pricing tools report a 35% increase in bulk orders.
Meet the Budget-Sensitive Buyers
Not all buyers buy in bulk. Tiered pricing can also accommodate smaller orders by offering competitive pricing for low-quantity buyers. This flexibility expands your customer base and makes your products accessible to a wider audience.
Maximize Profit Margins Strategically
This type of pricing would balance profitability with competitiveness. Understanding buyer behavior is a way of establishing price tiers, encouraging larger orders without undercutting the margins. With eKomn’s pricing analytics, you’ll get insights on how to build the most efficient pricing structure for your products.
Establish a Perceived Value and Exclusivity
Buyers love to feel they are getting a deal. Tiered pricing creates perceived value, motivating buyers to take advantage of discounts by increasing their order sizes. This sense of exclusivity not only drives sales but also fosters buyer loyalty.
Case Study: Mega Mart Supplies
The size of Mega Mart Supplies was, at best, mid-level in comparison with other vendors in the markets. Its single-pricing technique, though sound when a fixed scale is involved, attracted few bulk users and smaller ventures alike. Engaging with eKomn allowed Mega Mart to apply multistage pricing:
- Volume Discounts: 5%, 10%, and 15% for orders over 50, 200, and 500 units.
- Data-Driven Pricing: eKomn analytics helped refine the best-selling products and optimize price tiers.
- Improved Communication: Using eKomn’s tools, Mega Mart informed buyers about new pricing, boosting loyalty.
The results were remarkable:
- 40% growth in bulk orders
- 20% overall revenue increase
Buyers appreciated the flexibility and value, leading to increased loyalty.
Example of Tiered Pricing: Borrowed from Bulk Pricing Insights
The supplier of industrial cleaning supplies gave the following tiered pricing structure:
1–49 units: ₹25 per unit
50–199 units: ₹22 per unit
200+ units: ₹20 per unit
This approach attracted price-sensitive customers for smaller orders while encouraging larger companies to order in bulk. Similar approaches have been discussed in eKomn’s article, “The Power of Bulk Pricing: Transforming Small Orders into Growth Opportunities,” where suppliers successfully used tiered pricing to increase revenue and buyer satisfaction.
