When a company launches a new product or innovation, it may opt for a pricing strategy called “skimming.” This approach involves setting a high initial price to maximize profit margins per unit sold. Subsequently, the company plans to gradually lower the price to reach a wider audience and increase sales volume. In short, skimming aims to capitalize on early adopters willing to pay a premium price before adjusting the pricing to reach a broader market.
