3 Context Retailing requires making thousands even millions of pricing decisions every year. Taken together, these decisions form an indisputable core component of retail business strategies. After all, pricing has a significant impact on profits: A successful 1 to 2 percent price increase that does not jeopardize volumes easily boosts profits by a double-digit percentage. But achieving pricing excellence is not easy. It involves a complex process that is shaped by a variety of factors. For example, while retailers typically have access to large amounts of pricing data, is this data thoroughly analyzed and used to its best advantage? Achieving pricing excellence requires doing more than dusting off and using analytical skills to derive reasoned business decisions. It also requires cultivating an understanding of (and ability to influence) customers price perceptions, and this calls for a different skill set. To nudge overall profits upward, each and every lever that improves your retail price position and price perception must be considered. And while you are at it, bear in mind the importance and the challenges in implementing and sustaining new prices. reflects A.T. Kearney s latest thinking. Based on many years of advising retailers around the world, predominantly in the grocery sector, we showcase a holistic approach to pricing that encompasses unique insights, strategy development, and sustainable execution. And our approach extends far beyond grocery retailing to include other retail formats such as health and beauty, do-it-yourself, and electronics. 3
