EXAMPLE

An online fashion retailer used pricing analysis to compare their product prices with those of key competitors. They found that their prices were consistently higher, which aligned with their brand's premium positioning but limited their market share in more price-sensitive segments. By introducing a new, lower-priced line targeted at these segments while maintaining their premium offerings, they were able to expand their customer base and increase overall sales without diluting the brand's perceived value.
