Solution
The main aim of penetrating pricing is to Maximize the market share.
Explanation:
Penetration pricing involves setting a low initial price for a new product to attract a large number of customers quickly and gain a significant market share. By doing so, the company aims to establish a strong presence in the market, discourage competitors from entering, and build customer loyalty. Once a substantial market share is achieved, the company may gradually increase prices to improve profitability.
