Developing an Optimal Pricing Strategy

February 2005 (23 pages)

This paper highlights the need for a proactive strategy when developing mobile pricing propositions rather than reacting to competitor initiatives. In the current document we propose a pricing framework that can be applied to voice, data and any new VAS services that may be on the horizon.

In this paper we address and answer the following questions:

  • What is strategic pricing?
  • How can we apply a framework to pricing strategy?
  • What factors must a mobile operator consider in developing a pricing proposition?
  • How can an operator deliver winning pricing strategies?
  • How should operators vary pricing for different segments?
  • How can tariff 'options' be evaluated?
  • How do competitors, customers and costs impact an operator's strategic positioning?
  • What are the key elements in the pricing mix?
  • What innovative voice and data pricing models are emerging?
  • Price: EUR 2,500.00 / GBP 2,400.00
