Staffelrabatte

Staffelrabatte, also known as tiered discounts or volume discounts, are a pricing strategy used by businesses to incentivize larger purchases. The core principle is that the per-unit price decreases as the quantity purchased increases. This means customers pay less for each item when they buy more. These discounts are commonly seen in wholesale and retail environments, as well as in services where usage is metered.

The structure of a staffelrabatt typically involves predefined tiers. For example, a company might offer a 5% discount for purchasing 10-20 units, a 10% discount for 21-50 units, and a 15% discount for over 50 units. The exact percentages and quantities vary widely depending on the product, industry, and the seller's pricing model. Businesses implement staffelrabatte to encourage customers to consolidate their buying, thereby increasing overall sales volume and potentially reducing individual order processing costs. For consumers, it offers a way to achieve cost savings on items they need in larger quantities.
