Pricing Strategy
Kingfisher serves premium quality beer. Even though they face impetuous competition from their competitors, it doesn’t have any effect on its pricing strategy.
They adopted a premium pricing strategy for its premium products. Even if they have to increase its product price than its rival brand, they will not compromise the quality of the product. This actually worked and led to increase in revenue
The price range for a 650 ml beer bottle lies between Rs.94-100, 330 ml lies between Rs 56-113 and for 500ml between Rs.83-89.
