Business Challenge

The client is a fashion retailer based out of Germany.

Our client, a fashion retail firm, encountered a steady decline in their sales rate for two consecutive years as they focused on cutting costs instead of investing into acquiring new customers and increasing revenue. In an attempt to retain their valuable customers, they provided huge discounts and offers to them. However, this resulted in price wars with their competitors and had a negative impact on the company’s profit margins. Therefore, before setting prices for their new products, they wanted to carry out a thorough analysis of their competitors’ pricing models.

Also, by leveraging Infiniti’s competitive pricing strategy, the client wanted to meet their business objectives such as:

Higher rate of success – By leveraging Infiniti’s competitive pricing strategy, the client wanted to track their competitors’ products and prices over time. By doing so, they wanted to make changes to their product prices accordingly.

Prevent the loss of market share – By leveraging Infiniti’s competitive pricing strategy, the client wanted to set the product prices the same as their competitors or even cheaper. By doing so, they wanted to regulate the competition by preventing the loss of customers and market share to their competitors.

Adopt dynamic pricing – With Infiniti’s competitive pricing strategy, the client wanted to stay abreast of price changes in the market. Also, they wanted to adopt a dynamic pricing model to make random changes to their prices to compete in the market and maximize profits.
