The Benefits Of Dynamic Pricing – It's All About Supply And DemandIf you've taken an Uber, booked an airline ticket, or made a hotel reservation, you've experienced Dynamic Pricing. Simply put, Dynamic Pricing is a sales strategy where businesses set flexible pricing that continuously adjusts in response to real-time supply and demand.

The Benefits of Dynamic Pricing.

  • More sales and profit - With Dynamic Pricing, merchants increase prices on the products in great demand – netting you more profits and sales.

  • Sell more in downtimes - Sales are usually poor in times of low demand. But with Dynamic Pricing, you can keep business coming in by lowering prices to suit lower demand.

  • Better inventory management – Dynamic Pricing allows you to discount overstocked products while increasing prices on high-demand products earning you more revenue.

Inflation can be a motivator. 

This year, price increases have become more common because of inflation's impact on the economy, which may be another reason for restaurant and retail merchants to consider Dynamic Pricing. When done right, a Dynamic Pricing strategy should grow revenue, profitability, and margin performance.

In a  recent survey conducted for QSR magazine by Sherri Kimesan Emeritus Professor at Hotel School at Cornell specializing in pricing and revenue management, the top reason (92 percent of respondents) wanted to use dynamic pricing was to increase revenue. The second response (82 percent) was to spread demand to slower periods, while the third was to manage capacity better (70 percent). These responses indicate there is a good understanding of the fact that dynamic pricing is not just about increasing prices during a busy time period
