Abstract
Customers hold an internal and external reference price, which gives them an idea about an appropriate price within a range of the actual price. Following this assumption, marketers are able to increase the price of a product within a specific zone of price indifference to their advantage when they accurately exploit customers’ price knowledge. The knowledge about prices is stored in the implicit memory of customers, and thus processed in the non-/sub-conscious areas of customers’ brain. Still, conventional research approaches on finding the “right” price mostly concentrate on customers’ explicit reflected thoughts and opinions about prices and not the unconscious price knowledge. Our research introduces an Implicit Price Meter (IPM); a new approach from neuromarketing that is capable to explore implicit price knowledge. The results of a first study indicate a superior performance of the IPM to find an optimal price in contrast to conventional price measures.
