The Role of selling cost in signaling price image
Selling costs are costs that a firm incurs to serve a consumer who may or may not purchase a product. This article explores the effect that selling costs have on retailers' advertising strategies. Although retailers incur costs in the process of selling a product, advertising low prices to lure potential consumers can backfire. This is because attracting too many consumers who are less likely to purchase the retailer's higher-priced products on the basis of vague promises imposes unwanted selling costs but yields little extra revenue. Therefore, a store with a relatively high selling cost should be dissuaded from attempting to use such a strategy. The author shows analytically that such advertising can be credible only when there is a substantial difference in retailers' costs or when the selling cost is high. .Printed
