In most cases, price wars start because a hotel is trying to stop the declining demand, or one hotel figures that they can buy market share using their current profit margins as a trade off. Dropping prices to stimulate demand or buy market share comes with its own set of penalties. Hotels, like many other businesses, operate in a competitive environment. Generally, when one hotel makes a bid to buy market share through price reductions, any revenue from market share that is gained is soon lost when a competitor retaliates by undercutting the reduced price and the hotel is forced to sell at even lower rate levels that endanger its profit margins. Subsequently, when these hotels try to incre...

 Price Reduction
Alka Thakur  |  Argues in support of  "Discounting"  |  2 years ago
I am in total agreement with Dr. Siddharth Verma. Occassional discounts or promos would suffice!!
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Argues in support of  "Price Reduction"  |  2 years ago
Both are harmful for the brand in the long run. But i am slighlty inclined towards a price reduction as that not only has a positive impact on the brand but also has the option of going back to the original price after the promo period. Whereas a...

Both price reduction and discounting effect the brand equity. The only difference lies in the execution of the plan. Discounting on a regular priced product causes impulse and is seen as increase in offtakes. Discounting acts as a catalyst in...

Ekta Mehta  |  Argues in support of  "Quality"  |  7 months ago
Quality is the top most priority for every one. That doesn't mean "Quality" comes only with High Price.. NO !! Good quality products can come in Low price or at affordable price. For instance: Most of the Indian Woman use Godrej Hair dye..Do I...
Shabana Khan  |  Argues in support of  "Price"  |  2 years ago
If this question has been asked to a high society man, he will say "Quality" immaterial of price. If this question is asked to a Poor man, he will say "Price" and an average class person will say "Both Product and price". Same case is with me. I...

Makrand Bhave  |  Answered  |  2 years ago
That is a good sign!! By pricing it at half the competitors level, you have placed your product on a pedestal that says, " Here I am. I am equally good and I am more cheaper than my early starters. I am here to stay and I care for your hard...

Who sells the largest number of cameras in India? Your guess is probably Sony, Canon or Nikon. The answer is none of the above. The winner is Nokia, whose main industry in India is not cameras, but cell phones. Therefore, cameras bundled with mobile phones are overselling and outstand alone cameras. Now, what prevents mobile phone will replace your camera directly? Nothing. One can only hope that Sony's and Canon's notes. Try this. Who is the biggest music business in India? You think it's HMV Sa-Re-Ga-Ma? Sorry. The answer is Airtel. By selling call melodies (that play for 30 seconds) Airtel makes more than what music companies by selling music albums (that run for hours). Incidentally Air...

It usually takes us much longer to change our moods than we’d like it to take. Here are ten things you can do in ten minutes or less that will have a positive emotional effect on you and those you love. 1. Watch "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. See it online at Oprah.com. This is a deeply moving segment that may be the best ten minutes you've ever invested in front of a computer. 2. Spend a little while watching the sunset with your mate. Nothing extra is necessary. Just sit and take in the natural beauty of the sky and appreciate being able to share it with the one you love. 3. Sit quietly by yourself. It doesn't really matter where or when. Just let your feelings bubble up and then experience the thoughts flowing out of your mind. Clearing your head and heart will give you extra energy to get through the rest of the day. 4. Write a thank you note to your mate. When was the last time you thanked your partner for just being who he or she is and being with you? Doing this in...

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet. First of all let me give you few tips that you must follow if you are going...

Recovery of its due has been a hectic exercise for the Banks in the absence of a special legislation. ‘Non-performing Assets’ were growing and a need was felt to reduce the ‘Non-performing Assets’ of the Banks drastically. As the recovery through Courts was a difficult exercise for the Banks, initially, a special legislation called ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’ was enacted creating a Special Tribunal called ‘Debt Recovery Tribunal’. Under the Act, the Banks are entitled to approach the Tribunal by filing an ‘Original Application’ which is similar to filing a suit in Civil Court proceedings. However, unlike the ‘Civil Court’ which is supposed to follow the ‘Civil Procedure Code’, a special and simple procedure has been prescribed under ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’. At the end of adjudication, the Tribunal is supposed to grant a certificate called ‘Recovery Certificate’ infavour of the Bank...
