Inflation means that prices are changing. It also means that consumers and customers change their perceptions with it. At least some of the time, though not all the time. So in inflationary times and inflationary markets, it is important for vendors to stay up-to-date on their consumers' willingness-to-pay.
PriceBeam has recently done a series of consumer research studies, comparing willingness-to-pay for the same brands and products in 2022 against what it was in 2021. The learnings are important and carries implications for all revenue growth teams.

One percent improvement in price yields much higher operating profit improvement than e.g. one percent improvement in units sold, unit costs or fixed costs. Therefore, price increases should come regularly and at the very least annually. Also, almost all countries and markets have inflation, so as a minimum you should plan price increases in line with inflation. But a true price increase strategy reflects the value perceived by customers and price you as a result can harvest.

What is a Price Premium?
There are a number of different metrics one can use to evaluate brand strength. Brand recognition, likeability, willingness to recommend, readiness to purchase are some of the most popular ones. A number of studies have shown, that these cognitive and affective factors are also linked with the consumers’ willingness to pay for a brand’s products. The more appealing a brand, the more the consumer is typically willing to pay for its products. Therefore, a comparison of the willingness to pay for a brand with relevant references products or “NoName” competitors provides insights into a company’s brand strength.
