Pricing Strategies and Revenue Models in Nigeria

Pricing Strategies

  1. Cost-Plus Pricing
    • This strategy involves adding a markup to the cost of goods sold. For instance, if a Nigerian manufacturer produces a pair of shoes for ₦5,000, they might add a 50% markup, setting the retail price at ₦7,500.
  2. Value-Based Pricing
    • Prices are set based on the perceived value to the customer. For example, a tech company in Lagos may sell a smartphone with unique features for ₦150,000, reflecting its value compared to competitors’ offerings.
  3. Competitive Pricing
    • This strategy involves setting prices based on competitors. For instance, if a popular soft drink brand sells for ₦200, a new entrant might price its product similarly to attract customers.
  4. Penetration Pricing
    • New businesses may set low introductory prices to quickly gain market share. For example, a new internet service provider might offer monthly subscriptions at ₦2,000, significantly lower than established competitors to attract customers.
  5. Skimming Pricing
    • Initially setting high prices for innovative products, then lowering them over time. A tech startup launching a new gadget might price it at ₦100,000 to target early adopters before reducing the price to ₦75,000.

Revenue Models

  1. One-Time Purchase
    • Customers pay a single price for a product. For example, a furniture store in Abuja sells a dining table for ₦150,000, and customers pay this amount upfront.
  2. Subscription
    • Customers pay a recurring fee, often monthly or annually. For instance, a streaming service like IrokoTV might charge ₦1,200 per month for access to its library of Nigerian films and series.
  3. Usage-Based
    • Customers pay based on actual usage. An example is a pay-as-you-go mobile data plan, where users are charged ₦100 for every 100MB used.
  4. Freemium
    • Basic services are offered for free, with premium features available for a fee. For example, a mobile app might be free to download but charge ₦3,000 for additional features or content.
  5. Two-Sided Market
    • A platform connects two distinct user groups. For instance, a ride-hailing service like Uber charges passengers while also taking a commission from drivers, creating a revenue stream from both sides.

By understanding and implementing these pricing strategies and revenue models, Nigerian businesses can effectively position themselves in the market and maximize their financial performance.
