Pi[x]eR asked:


If we base on the cost of production (the raw materials and production process), it’s evident that softdrinks are more costly to produce than bottled water. But how come in our supermarkets and retail stores bottled water are more expensive than softdrinks (both products produced by the same company)? In my place, the price of a bottled water is 20% higher than the softdrink with the same quantity. This kind of pricing is also the same with other companies. In my thoughts, probably they have this pricing strategy to promote softdrinks which is really their main product. Any other opinions. Thanks.

      Why is one pair of jeans with a label on more expensive then the same kind of jeans made in the same factory without the label?

      People are stupid. Advertisers tell them if something has this or that name on it, it must be better.

      The “strategy” of any sound business is to charge the highest price the market will bear without negatively impacting sales. Basically, a good business will charge as much as you are willing to pay! And people are currently foolish enough to pay money for water in a bottle.

      Go figure. The water that comes out of the tap is much, much, much cheaper, and arguably better for you. Young children in California whose “hippie” parents give them bottled water are now suffering high rates of tooth decay than children drink water from the municipal water supply!
