Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Due Date The Relationship between High Pricing and Product Quality Introduction The way consumers perceive price is one of the major variables determining the buying behavior of consumers. Both economists and markets researchers have been both put to the task of researching and they concluded that price is the primary force behind buying decisions in a buying process. Correspondingly it is almost conclusive of many studies that the process of decision making in marketing is largely dependent on the price of the commodity. The factors that exert influence on price perception can be of either subjective or rational nature or both. For the upward price trends most factors are prestigious and thus psychological. For this reason understanding the consumers’ psychology as a major factor influencing consumer’s price perception is the key to unlocking explaining and exploring consumers’ price perception in its very essence.
