SKIM Price Explorer is a mobile-friendly three-step process to assess the optimal pricing for a new product:
Identify current product choice at current market prices to ensure respondents consider the new introduction in context of their currently available options.
Evaluate uptake and willingness to pay for the new product at different price points, using Van Westendorp or Gabor Granger pricing techniques depending on the situation.
Estimate the sourcing and cannibalization between the new product and existing products for those consumers likely to buy.
