Kano Model in MENA Context
Customer-Driven Pricing with the Kano Model
At ProCXellence, we use the Kano Model to map product and service features by their impact on customer satisfaction—distinguishing between must-haves, performance drivers, and ‘delighters’ that justify premium pricing or create market buzz. This allows us to design value-based pricing architectures that are aligned with what your customers truly value, not just what competitors charge.
We combine Kano insights with MaxDiff, elasticity modeling, and real-time CX data for a holistic, adaptive pricing strategy.
- Market-Based Price Benchmarking: Compare prices across regions, channels, and competitive sets for local relevance and global competitiveness.
- Value-Based Pricing Models: Align pricing with perceived benefit, willingness to pay, and customer segment for maximum margin and loyalty.
- Pack/Size & Tiered Architecture: Develop premium, mainstream, and value SKUs to serve every segment and channel.
- Promotional Strategy & Pricing Elasticity Mapping: Plan discount windows, protect brand equity, and measure ROI with predictive elasticity tools.
- Geo-Localized Pricing Strategy: Tailor prices for each market/country while maintaining global brand integrity.
- Psychological Pricing & CX Alignment: Use charm pricing, anchoring, and value cues to boost conversion and perceived value.
- Channel Price Control & Compliance: Enforce channel discipline and prevent price wars with MAP policies and compliance frameworks.
