Pricing Techniques in Marketing

Why?

There are many situations and many ways to price. Which pricing is good for what situation?

How?

The book should cover amongst other subjects at least these: the psychology that make these work, the strategic decisions of pricing as a part of branding, the tactical solutions to different situations, publishing prices – when and how, when not to publish prices, take away marketing for higher prices, when is it good to compete on price (and when not to), price elasticity, price, and competition, how to use pricing as a motte, how to have the customer tell you the actual price they’re willing to pay.

How?

It would be good to have a kids version of these. Maybe in the format of “define moratorium for kids”. Google can do it, but it could also be probably done by a dedicated site that is optimized for this template of a keyword query.
