What Are The Best Pricing Practices For Small Business During An Economic Slowdown?

February 21st, 2012 admin

In an economic slowdown your pricing is determined by factors like input cost of production or distribution channel cost etc. ….. which are primarily working on market factors. Generally one should be working on a reactive strategy of open price …. which allows for revision in product pricing over a shorter time period instead of quarterly or yearly market driven slashes or increases.

The important consideration is to try to maintain sales, even if some of them yield marginal or no profit (i,e, break even). In other words, so long as you are covering your costs, particularly fixed costs, then there is value in doing so.

However, unless you wish to become the low-cost leader going forward, then this low pricing may create a precedent which customers expect to continue, and it also may devalue the brand.

So pricing strategy must be decided carefully, with all things considered, including unintended consequences. And it may be better to have various incentives rather than simple price cuts in order to sustain sales.

In the article “Pricing in an Inflationary_Downturn”, McKinsey recommends the following actions:

-Watch for sudden shifts in price structure
-Adjust to changing customer needs
-Monitor customer-level profitability
-Update price sensitivity research

Many companies across the nation are on the verge of closing their doors and some have already started liquidating their inventory.

Small Business: How Do You Adapt In Times Of Financial Crises?

December 23rd, 2011 admin

It’s not news that things are tough today. For small businesss and sole proprieters especially.

For example it has become very difficult to spend money on non-critical activities. It also means having to let go people (if you have employees). But it seems also that by doing so, we loose on competitiveness. It is a real catch 22. How do you adapt? What should small business owners do to keep their head above the water?

I think the details of how you adapt will vary by company and industry, but the fact is that small companies actually can adapt more quickly than big ones. One or two people can make a decision, and with electronic communications (email, website, twitter, or whatever) that change can be cheaply and quickly communicated.

The problem for many small companies is that they don’t have any emergency cash reserves (sometimes because the owner has just taken everything out over the years things went well) …. so they *THINK* they can’t adapt. But the problem is not size, the problem is available reserves.

I know of businesses who have started to bid on what was in the past not lucrative enough projects, just to keep their work force employed.

Finding Investors for Your Small Business

March 17th, 2011 webkriti


One of the biggest problems that many entrepreneurs face when starting their small business is the lack of initial funding.  Since most of us don’t have the capital on hand to get a business off the ground and keep it running until it starts to turn a profit, investors are a necessary evil (so to speak).  Of course, you may have to meet certain requirements or make some concessions in order to get the money to help your venture take flight, but if you truly believe in the potential of your business plan and you have done everything possible to ensure that it will earn enough not only to stay afloat, but to be profitable over time, then you should take help from every corner in your efforts to launch your new company.  Here are just a few different types of investors that can benefit your operation.

1.       A bank.  A bank loan is still the most common method of securing the funds needed to start a small business.  And with interest rates remaining low due to the recession, now is a great time to think about making your professional dreams a reality.  Unfortunately, banks these days are making it harder than ever to get a loan, so you’ll probably have to come prepared with a stellar credit score and possibly even some collateral.

Starting a Business in a Down Economy

July 13th, 2009 admin

There are many of us at the Small Business Development Center who believe that this is a good time to start a business. While it certainly is not a great time to get a bank loan for working capital, there are several key attributes found in businesses that open in a down economy. These entrepreneurs tend to be very committed to researching their idea thoroughly, select partners more carefully and weigh purchases more wisely than free spending business owners earlier in this decade. The established competition may have been weakened by the downturn, making entry into the market easier. Entrepreneurs who start up in a down economy understand fast change and take advantage of that to create new niches and market share.
A recent Inc. Magazine article bears this out. Carl Schramm, President of the entrepreneurship supportive Kauffman Foundation talks about great companies frequently get launched during a recession.
