It allows the company to set a high initial price and gradually lower it over time as more price-sensitive customers enter the market.Market skimming pricing is “not likely” to discourage competitors from entering the market.
Truthfully it may attract competition if other companies are able to offer similar products at lower prices.I think it’s true…….Market skimming pricing can be useful when launching a product into a competitive market. Since the product is unique and there are no similar products available, it can command a higher price initially and attract customers who are willing to pay a premium for the latest innovation.
