Solution
Skimming Pricing
A high-end smartphone is a distinctive premium product designed for rich consumers who value exclusivity and innovation. The skimming price is suitable for this product. This strategy involves initially setting an extremely high price in order to skim the cream of demand. The high price allows for a speedy recovery of the significant investment in R&D. Since the demand is somewhat inelastic in the early stages (for status-seeking and tech-enthusiast clients), high pricing does not greatly affect sales. Later, as competition enters, the price may be dropped to reach new market segments.
