Develop Solutions

Our primary function is to develop tailored pricing solutions. Rather than applying the same rules for every client, we adapt our strategies according to the specific issues and opportunities you are faced with, the levels of pricing capability within your organisation, and the impact pricing will have on your business. No two businesses are alike, so we work closely with you to better understand the conditions of your organisation and those of the markets you operate in. We bring a fresh approach to strategic pricing, challenge current thinking, and importantly, develop dynamic ideas based on consumer and customer intelligence.

Making It Happen

Ripe uses a structured pricing methodology that accesses and captures all the relevant information so that pricing is handled as an essential part of the marketing mix. We ask questions that challenge the status quo and provoke deep thought about how brand value is being grown with the consumer, thereby shedding light on your position within the market. Our overriding objective in doing so is to make it happen for your business – instigate a change that leads to an effective outcome.

Build Capability

Instead of just developing and implementing a pricing strategy that leads to short to medium-term success, we look to the future by building pricing capability within your business, training your people to ensure that the right pricing decisions are made on an ongoing basis. It is often the case that people lack the confidence to take the lead when it comes to pricing, mainly because the skills required are underdeveloped and underused. Fear leads to inaction – inaction leads to missed opportunities. With this in mind, we aim to create a pricing culture in which managers have the confidence and ability to consider the options, make astute decisions quickly, articulate a rationale for the decision, and deliver value for the business as a whole.

Manage The Change

So how do we build this culture? It’s quite simple. We influence people to think and act differently about pricing, developing their understanding of pricing itself and the important role it plays in a company’s success. Our aim is to ensure that pricing gets the attention it deserves, and that it is fully integrated into the work of your marketing, sales and finance teams, which together can develop and implement a more rounded pricing solution.

Learn about pricing

Understanding pricing is one of the key ingredients of sustained success for any business. The aim of our professional half-day seminars is to introduce your team to pricing concepts and provide an overview of pricing opportunities.
