Pricing methods

Nice day at Sentosa last Wednesday together with my class! =) Was meant to be a suntanning day, but it turned out that clouds are dark. loL~! * Sakura dinner as well! yum yum*

Anyway, just came back from Wushu camp. Well... I guess it should be a "Lion dance using Wushu's camp as a diguise for it's own overnight stay camp" I felt bad that we're not following what the wushu planned and it's like we're doing our own things~ loL!! Yea, they challenged us a Lion Dance VS Wushu Captain's ball...Zzz... i don't like the idea of that game though~

Anyway, during the camp, we found weird stuffs. Once again, I've captured them. *sources from Cheng yong and Max.


"CautioN! Door Is Closed" ... ...? Why would I since the door's already closed?


"CLOSED. Go the Next Door Shop To Buy Your Things. Thanks" In another words, "I'm not doing your business...go find next door. Even if my shop is open next time, go to the next shop since it's selling what I am selling too." =)

Alright, in Fundamentals of Marketing, we learned a few on pricing strategies - Marketing mix decisions, Estimate the demand curve and weird pricing strategy.

In our module, the "weird pricing strategy" refers to putting "$499.99" instead of "$500" kind of thing. However, i got to found some kind of weird pricing too. Look at these:


This picture was quite long ago. My explanation would be: "For the same thing, it's now much costly by 70.87%. Oh no, our management think it's fair to be transparent and we die die must show you how much it was in the past and tell you, you've been overcharged compare to 'usual price'." You might think it's for 2 bottles/2 packets or something, but the price tag didn't said anything about that. Don't believe? check my frienster. =P

Another one:



This is found in a convenient store. And more.


*ding dong* "Hi sir, you wanna buy a house? It's 1 million for a house....what? too expensive? How about $800 grand for both houses? Deal? Seal!"

R.O.F.L!!


Yea, a stall in the middle of somewhere..what's wrong?


Ok, we know this stall is under 24hrs surveillance...why?


Ya, this is the camera.. and then?


Oh! You mean, it's no longer 24 hours if this wire is removed? Brilliant! *FYI: The camera wasn't facing where the wire is placed. Nice strategy... Amigos!

hehez...have a good holiday ahead! =)
