Listen Later

Why you have to check out today’s podcast:

  • Learn about the dynamic pricing engine and its impact in making data-driven pricing decisions 
  • Learn about the pricing elements that are crucial in making an informed pricing decision
  • Understand why in as much as data-driven decision-making helps companies, a product’s value must also be considered in pricing

 

Price monitoring software is becoming more and more accessible to all levels of markets such as SMEs and startups. Burch says it's not an excuse to invest in such technologies since they are no longer expensive for enterprise players. 

 

Burc Tanir is the CEO of Prisync - a company that helps e-commerce companies automatically track their competitor prices and dynamically price their products deliberately.

 

In this episode, Burc shares his insights on why pricing is critical to e-commerce success, and why analyzing your competitors’ prices manually is laborious. He gives emphasis that focusing on adding value to your product and working on your market positioning is more important to any e-commerce business.

 

“Every market and every player in the market has its competition to a varying degree. I will always encourage those people to find automated and dynamic ways to monitor competition, regardless of scale, at least incorporate some degree of data-driven decision making.”
