Airline Pricing: Can Low-Cost Really Work?
In this episode of The Pricing Guys, Avy and Michael dissect the ultra-low-cost airline model — how low fares survive, how premium mix plays a role, and whether ultra-low cost can scale sustainably.
Mix management is the process of optimizing your portfolio’s price structures to maximize profitability. Using a data-first approach tested in all levels of portfolio complexity, our experts in mix management identify opportunities to influence what customers buy and shift to the options with the most profit.
Effective mix management requires a deep understanding of customer behavior, market trends, and competitive landscape. At Revenue Management Labs, our pricing experts use advanced analytics and proactive mix management strategies to drive customer willingness to pay. Our results speak for themselves – we routinely see increases in revenue of 8 to 12% from optimizing your portfolio mix.
Mix management is crucial to identifying what offers to include in your portfolio and continually adapting them to changing market conditions.
We closely analyze your portfolio to identify revenue opportunities that can include whitespaces, optimize price gaps, bundling, and others.
Through careful analysis and targeted measures, we safeguard your revenue streams, minimizing the risk of internal competition, customer trade-down to lower-priced options, and margin erosion.
With an optimized price structure, your sales force can effectively target offers to each unique customer segment and foster long-term customer relationships.
Customer-centric pricing structures meet diverse preferences and increase perceived value, contributing to heightened customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Insufficient data granularity can hinder a business’s ability to discern whether fluctuations in margins are caused by rate, volume or mix factors, and complicate the process of extracting the necessary insights for corrective actions.
Relying solely on price increases to improve EBITDA is an unsustainable practice. Opting for cross-selling and up-selling to cultivate a more favorable mix sustains and improves perceived value of the product or service and is, as a result, easier to implement than a hard price increase within increasingly sophisticated procurement departments.
Monitoring and adapting to evolving customer purchase preferences ensures your product mix is continually optimized.
Staying attentive to industry dynamics and innovating to create offerings that capture unaddressed market demands is a crucial revenue growth driver.
