Get your hands on the pricing strategies big businesses already use. For many business owners, the process of determining how to price products or services is akin to boiling eye of newt in a cauldron surrounded by wicked witches. But pricing is not magic, any more than selling is magic. The Dark Art of Pricing demystifies pricing for small- to medium-sized businesses. Pricing should be of the utmost importance to business owners because it is possible to use price strategies to engineer a deliberate profit. It is possible to drive sales and cut costs. An accountant can tell you how to cut costs. Sales trainers can help you improve sales. But what is often mostly ignored is pricing, and focusing on price allows you to find that sweet spot where you become the price leader because you are the best in your industry or area, and the go-to company because of the value you offer. Finding the right pricing strategy is, like developing a sales program, work. It takes testing and tweaking. But the “how” and “why” are buried in corporate vaults and academic journals, almost inaccessible to the average business owner. Author Andrew Gregson has started and owned five businesses including two franchises, and spent years consulting on profitability to small- and medium-sized businesses in North America. He simplifies the strategies that help business owners find ways to charge what they are really worth, drive larger profits, build wealth, and eventually attract buyers when the time comes to retire to a sandy beach.

Want to make a bad year better or turn a good year into a blockbuster? Improve your pricing strategy and discover the untapped gold mine that exists in your products and services. Whether you are in marketing, a manager, on the salesforce, in finance, or the CEO/CFO, pricing your products matters to you. The Art of Pricing is a practical guide for solving one of the most important dilemmas in business: how to use price to uncover hidden profits and find new opportunities for growth. This roadmap to pricing illustrates and explains: The financial windfall that can be reaped from small changes in price Methods to derive the "right price" for your product or service How a series of easy-to-implement strategies enables companies to serve and profit from the largest possible customer base How new pricing strategies can activate dormant customers Why the key to better pricing is to provide customers with options - different prices, versions, and opportunities to purchase - to best meet their needs. Using a range of examples, from small businesses to big companies like Ford, Rafi shows how expanding your vision of pricing can accelerate profits and growth at your company. Critical Reviews When The Art of Pricing first came out, The New York Times named it among those business books that "should have been best sellers" but got lost "in the shuffle." "The key to getting that additional profit, Mr. Mohammed contends in a clear, conversational tone, is to offer customers a variety of pricing options and allow them to pick the one that works best for them...What is clear from Mr. Mohammed's book is that it might be easier to produce greater margins by concentrating on the numerator (price) - what you charge - instead of obsessing about costs." The New York Times "The Art of Pricing is an entertaining primer on how to unlock 'hidden profits' and growth by aligning your product's price with the value customers place on it." BusinessWeek SmallBiz "This conversational, easy and informative read is worth paying attention to." Entrepreneur Magazine "Here is a book that is really 'where the rubber meets the road' pricing...I enjoyed this book because the author wrote a book full of real world examples." A Jack Covert Monthly Selection, 800CEOREAD Included in the Forbes' Entrepreneurial Library (10 books that no entrepreneur should be without). "Pricing products and services is one of the most crucial, and difficult, decisions that an entrepreneur will make...he (Mohammed) finds psychological and macroeconomic rules to help readers set prices effectively as they enter the marketplace." Forbes.com Testimonials "A lighthearted, anecdotal, but theoretically sophisticated primer on pricing, highly personal and readable, with abundant illustrations." Alfred E. Kahn, Robert Julius Thorne Professor of Political Economy, Emeritus, at Cornell University, and former chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board "The Art of Pricing is a 'must read' for every manager; it will help you better serve your customers as well as make you more money." Irving Azoff, CEO of TicketMaster and CEO of Frontline Management "This book is richly illustrated with stories that show how pricing is as much disciplined science as art, and that masters of this discipline can reap profit while delighting customers. Rafi Mohammed is the da Vinci of pricing!" Robert G. Cross, Chairman and CEO of Revenue Analytics

$136 million for a Klimt, $71.7 million for an Andy Warhol...It's not that art is expensive, but rather that money has become cheap for certain collectors--Russian oligarchs, Chinese, and American hedge-fund managers. Collections are being redistributed to new fortunes around the world. Sophisticated marketing campaigns, the most luxurious parties, a new wealthy elite passionate about art cross paths to compete for paintings now considered trophies. At present, details like "who's selling what" and "which auction house is organizing the sale" play an important role in sums fetched. The goal is paradoxical: always pay more. Worth of Art (2) offers an inside and outside view on an art world nourished by excess. AUTHOR After studying international law and political science, journalist Judith Benhamou-Huet became an expert in the art market. She pens the weekly column on the subject at Échos and at Le Point, as well as a monthly column for ArtPress. She has compiled several large reports on art for Art & Auction, the Swiss daily Neue Zurcher Zeitung, the magazine Beaux-Arts and Vogue France. She has organized many symposiums on the art market, most recently in Shangai, addressing business men as art collectors.The editor of Elle Accessories, Kelly Killoren Bensimon is also the author of American Style and In the Spirit of the Hamptons at Assouline Publishing.

The world’s foremost expert on pricing strategy shows how this mysterious process works and how to maximize value through pricing to company and customer. In all walks of life, we constantly make decisions about whether something is worth our money or our time, or try to convince others to part with their money or their time. Price is the place where value and money meet. From the global release of the latest electronic gadget to the bewildering gyrations of oil futures to markdowns at the bargain store, price is the most powerful and pervasive economic force in our day-to-day lives and one of the least understood. The recipe for successful pricing often sounds like an exotic cocktail, with equal parts psychology, economics, strategy, tools and incentives stirred up together, usually with just enough math to sour the taste. That leads managers to water down the drink with hunches and rules of thumb, or leave out the parts with which they don’t feel comfortable. While this makes for a sweeter drink, it often lacks the punch to have an impact on the customer or on the business. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, as Hermann Simon illustrates through dozens of stories collected over four decades in the trenches and behind the scenes. A world-renowned speaker on pricing and a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 executives, Simon’s lifelong journey has taken him from rural farmers’ markets, to a distinguished academic career, to a long second career as an entrepreneur and management consultant to companies large and small throughout the world. Along the way, he has learned from Nobel Prize winners and leading management gurus, and helped countless managers and executives use pricing as a way to create new markets, grow their businesses and gain a sustained competitive advantage. He also learned some tough personal lessons about value, how people perceive it, and how people profit from it. In this engaging and practical narrative, Simon leaves nothing out of the pricing cocktail, but still makes it go down smoothly and leaves you wanting to learn more and do more—as a consumer or as a business person. You will never look at pricing the same way again.

How do dealers price contemporary art in a world where objective criteria seem absent? Talking Prices is the first book to examine this question from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers in New York and Amsterdam, Olav Velthuis shows how contemporary art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire. For instance, a sharp distinction between a gallery's museumlike front space and its businesslike back space safeguards the separation of art from commerce. Velthuis shows that prices, far from being abstract numbers, convey rich meanings to trading partners that extend well beyond the works of art. A high price may indicate not only the quality of a work but also the identity of collectors who bought it before the artist's reputation was established. Such meanings are far from unequivocal. For some, a high price may be a symbol of status; for others, it is a symbol of fraud. Whereas sociological thought has long viewed prices as reducing qualities to quantities, this pathbreaking and engagingly written book reveals the rich world behind these numerical values. Art dealers distinguish different types of prices and attach moral significance to them. Thus the price mechanism constitutes a symbolic system akin to language.
