  • Why Southwest Airlines Stuck with Unassigned Seats

    Lucas and Luna dive into Southwest Airlines' long-standing refusal to assign seats. They explore the operational and pricing logic behind open seating, how it speeds up turnarounds, and why the airline is finally reconsidering after 50 years. Along the way, they discuss the economics of gate utilization, the trade-off between customer preference and operational efficiency, and what the shift means for Southwest's brand and pricing strategy. A concrete look at how one quirky policy saved millions and shaped an entire business model.

  • The $3.50 Toothpaste That Made Crest Rethink Pricing

    In the debut episode of Pricing Power, Lucas and Luna unpack the story of a single product launch that forced Procter & Gamble to abandon its 50-year-old pricing playbook. In 2018, a tiny startup called Bite Toothpaste Bits sold a three-month supply of plastic-free toothpaste tablets for $30—roughly $0.33 per brushing versus Crest's $0.05. Within two years, Bite captured 4% of the U.S. toothpaste market by unit share, despite costing six times more. Lucas walks Luna through the elasticities, the 'value decoupling' strategy, and the moment P&G realized its premium whitening line was actually underpriced by 40%. They debate whether 'price anchoring' or 'pain-point pricing' explains why customers happily paid a 500% premium. This episode offers a concrete case study in how startups can rewrite consumer price expectations—and why incumbents often don't see it coming. Expect sharp analysis, real numbers, and a conversation that respects your intelligence.

From the publisher's feed

In a world where every price tag tells a story, Lucas and Luna examine the strategies behind the numbers. From dynamic pricing algorithms to psychological thresholds, they dissect how companies like Apple, Southwest Airlines, and Netflix set prices that maximize margins without alienating customers. Why does a $1,000 iPhone sell while a $700 Android struggles? How do luxury brands maintain exclusivity while expanding revenue? Lucas, with his journalist's eye for case studies, traces the evolution of pricing models—from cost-plus to value-based to subscription—while Luna, the engaged interlocutor, challenges assumptions about consumer behavior and competitive response. Each episode centers on a specific industry or company, unpacking the trade-offs between volume and premium, short-term gains and long-term loyalty. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the forces that determine what we pay and why—and a sharper eye for the pricing strategies that surround them every day.
