Pakkaverðlagning

Pakkaverðlagning, also known as bundled pricing or package pricing, is a marketing and sales strategy where two or more products or services are sold together as a single unit for a single price. This price is typically lower than the sum of the individual prices of each item if they were purchased separately. The objective of pakkaverðlagning is to increase sales volume, introduce new products, or clear out excess inventory by offering perceived value to the customer.

This strategy can take various forms. For example, a telecommunications company might offer a bundle of internet, television, and phone services. A fast-food restaurant could bundle a burger, fries, and a drink. The rationale behind pakkaverðlagning is that customers are attracted to the convenience and cost savings of acquiring multiple items at once. It can also simplify the purchasing decision for consumers by presenting a pre-selected combination.

However, pakkaverðlagning is not without its potential drawbacks. Customers may feel compelled to purchase items they do not necessarily need or want. Some consumers might also suspect that the bundled price is not a true saving and that the individual components are marked up to compensate. Businesses must carefully consider the product mix, individual item profitability, and customer perception when implementing a pakkaverðlagning strategy to ensure it is both attractive to buyers and financially viable for the seller.
