Vähittäismyyntihinta
Vähittäismyyntihinta, often abbreviated as RSP (Recommended Sales Price) or MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) in English, refers to the price at which a manufacturer or supplier suggests a retailer should sell a product to the end consumer. This price is not binding for the retailer, meaning they are free to set their own prices, either higher or lower than the suggested price. Manufacturers often provide a vähittäismyyntihinta to guide retailers and to maintain a consistent brand image and price perception across different sales channels. It serves as a benchmark for consumers and can influence their purchasing decisions. Retailers consider various factors when setting their actual selling price, including their own profit margins, competitor pricing, demand for the product, and any promotional activities or discounts they wish to offer. The vähittäismyyntihinta can also be influenced by market conditions, economic factors, and the overall retail strategy of the brand. Understanding the difference between the suggested retail price and the actual selling price is important for both consumers and businesses operating in the retail sector.
