A really good pricing case study.. Monarch Batteries

I came across this case study on the McKinsey website. It highlights the work done by Monarch Batteries on improving pricing.
They focused on three issues -

  • Stop "leaking" of price in transactions

  • Evaluate the value of new innovative products and price near the value of the product. Always accompany this kind of move by proper communication

  • Stick to a course when increasing prices. You need competitors to support your prices. About turns on pricing initiatives creates ill-will with other competitors.


  • All this shows - the more things change, the more things stay the same in the area of pricing. But it's a nice how-to example on increasing pricing.
