• Line Modernization: In rapidly changingmarkets, modernization is continuous.
– Companies plan improvements to encouragecustomer migration to higher-valued, higher-priced items.
– It’s important to time improvements so they donot appear too early (damaging sales of thecurrent line) or too late (giving the competitiontime to establish a strong reputation)

Product Mix Pricing
• Product mix pricing is setting price of Product as Part of Product Mix.
• Objective is to set prices that maximizes profits on the total product mix.
• Difficulty arise because of demand and cost interrelationships and different degrees of competition of products.

Low Price –low Quality
Average Price – Average Quality
High Price – Superior Quality
• Optional-feature pricing: Many companies offer optional products, features, and services with their main product. Mostly seen in Automobile industry.
