FACTORS INFLUENCING PRICE SENSITIVITY

Storage: the more perishable the product, the more important the price.
Perceived quality: when the product is of higher quality, the price is no longer important
Amortized purchases: when the product is a complement to another previously acquired, the price goes to the background
Shared cost: when the cost is shared with others, the price does not matter.
Importance of the price in the final expense: it is more important when it represents a significant expense
Ease of comparing products: the more you can compare, the more importance is given to the price
Knowledge of substitute products: the more they are known, the more importance is given to the price
Uniqueness of the product: the more exclusive the less the price matters

REASONS THAT SHOW THE IMPORTANCE OF PRICE

Perception: the price can be used by consumers to give value to the product
Differentiation: the price can give advantages over the competition
Profitability: this is determined by the relationship between the quantity sold and the price
Sales volume: this is determined by the elasticity of the demand curve
