11. Product line - pricing Strategies There are five common product line pricing strategies Captive pricing Leader pricing, Bait pricing, Price lining, and Price bundling. 

12. Captive Pricing The idea behind captive pricing is that a company will have a basic product that they sell at a low price or given away for free . However, in order to receive the full benefit of the item they received, they have to buy additional products. The company might lose money on the base product, but they make a fairly good profit on the additional products. Ex: Gillette victor Handle, Cartridge

13. Leader Pricing The idea behind leader pricing is to generate store traffic. The items used to get customers into the store are known as Loss leaders . When customers come into the store to purchase the loss leaders, they usually end up purchasing extra items at full retail price. The retailer makes their profit off of the unplanned purchases bought with the loss leaders.

14. Bait Pricing This type of strategy is usually viewed as unethical and sometimes illegal, but retailers will still use it.  The customer will then come into the store to purchase the advertised item then find the exact item is out of stock. They will then be encouraged to purchase a similar, higher-priced item that is available in store

15. Price Lining Price lining is a strategy retailers use when pricing different items at one specific price point. The items are usually at a different level of quality or have different features. This strategy usually makes it easier for a retailer to buy specific products, predict what their profits will be, and market to a certain consumer. EX: A good example of this would be Apple’s iPads . The basic iPad with wifi and limited storage costs $500. The next iPad is one with 4G and the same limited storage, but it costs somewhere around $650.

16. Bundled Pricing Products that have several different options or accessories available are sold using bundled pricing. Instead of a consumer having to purchase each item separately, the items are packaged together and priced as one item. This is usually at a discount than what it would have been priced at when purchasing each item separately. Ex: Cars/ Bikes: When you are purchasing a new car/bike, you can get extra features by bundling them with the car when you purchase it instead of purchasing them later
