TERM
Price Breakpoints
Specific price levels where demand changes sharply.
Definition
Price breakpoints are threshold prices that shift purchase behavior, such as crossing a round number or value tier.
How to Calculate
Run price point tests or analyze historical promotions. Identify the price at which conversion or units step up or down materially and confirm with multiple events.
Why it Matters
Avoids pricing just above a threshold that hurts units. Helps choose promo depth that clears the breakpoint.
Key Advantages
Simple rule to guide offers and shelf pricing. Reduces waste from discounts that miss the threshold. Improves shopper perception by hitting value cues.
Example
Orange juice units jump when feature price drops from $3.59 to $3.49, indicating a $3.49 breakpoint.
Use it to
Identify price levels where unit response changes sharply to locate natural thresholds. Use breakpoints to set depth and regular price that avoid unnecessary subsidy.
