Partially, this enables retailers to target a wider audience with different geographic locations and preferences; and partially, the online presence provides the retailer with loads of customer data that can be applied to the offline shopping experience. In a recent article, Ken Moon of The Wharton School explains some interesting implications of the Clicks-and-Bricks model for pricing. Today, retailers can use credit card information to detect behavioral patterns, which is a cornerstone in the application of online customer data to the offline experience. One example that Moon highlights is retailers identifying the sources of their website visitors, and hereby try to identify the types of customers that spend a lot of time monitoring prices; of course, these customers are generally very price-sensitive, and by using credit card information, Clicks-and-Bricks retailers can identify links between price-monitoring customers and certain product categories, and lower the price accordingly.

They use methods such as cost plus a fixed margin. They use guesses and gut feel. They peg their price to a competitor’s. They price themselves too low, leaving money on the table, or too high, forsaking sales volume. They lose out on the profits they should be earning. PriceBeam changes all that. With a methodology that is confirmed to be accurate in thousands of projects, PriceBeam provides AI-powered market insights software that generates actionable insights into consumers' willingness-to-pay, competitive price positioning, packaging and assortment dynamics, promotional benchmarking, and opportunities from new product pricing.
