Decisions about pricing strategies should be set in conjunction with other marketing decisions about product design, packaging, branding, distribution, and promotion. All these marketing decisions are interrelated. Prices must be related to the cost of producing the product and prices are usually set somewhere above cost. But price and cost aren't always related. There are three major approaches to pricing strategy: cost-based, demand-based (target costing), and competition-based. Other pricing strategies include skimming price strategy, penetration strategy, everyday low pricing (EDLP), high-low pricing strategy, bundling, psychological pricing, and demand-oriented pricing. Match each scenario to the strategy it best illustrates.

3. Chad is a do-it-yourself guy. He shops at Home Depot because, although they don’t usually run sales, he knows the store will offer the lowest price around on the tools he needs.
4. A major national retailer charges "full retail" for most of the lines it carries but runs "special sales" during which the company lowers its price.
5. When Walmart enters a new geographic area, the company undersells its more well-established competitors and eventually raises its prices once it has a loyal customer base.
6. When Aaron was looking for mortgage lenders, he noticed that one major lender lowered their rates, and several others did the same within a few days.
