19. • Premium pricing (also called prestige pricing) is our strategy
• Pricing at or near the high end of the possible price range will
help attract status-conscious consumers.
• The high premium pricing will enhance and reinforce our
hotels luxury image.
• Brand and product attributes such as eco-labelling will add
value for consumers and also attract premium pricing.
• The high price will be an indication of good quality
• Its a sign of self worth - "They are worth it;" it authenticates
the buyer's success and status; it is a signal to others that the
owner is a member of an exclusive group.
