With dynamic pricing, you can monitor various factors such as customer demand, competitor pricing, supply chain demand forecasting , and even the weather. Let's say you notice that it's a hot day and everyone is rushing to buy t-shirts.
You decide to increase the price slightly to $25 to take advantage of the increased demand. Conversely, on a cold, rainy day when fewer people are shopping, you might lower the price to $15 to attract more shoppers.
The fundamental difference between static and dynamic pricing comes down to flexibility. Static pricing offers consistency but lacks adaptability to market changes. On the other hand, dynamic pricing allows you to adjust prices in real time, maximizing profits during peak demand and remaining competitive in fluctuating market conditions.
About 21% of North American and European e-commerce companies surveyed in 2021 reported using dynamic pricing. A whopping 63% of survey respondents have already implemented dynamic pricing or are considering doing so.
