Price Pack Architecture Study (PPA)
PPA study helps to understand willingness-to-pay and pricing opportunities for different packs, sizes, ingredients/contents/features and thus suggests how to optimize the packs for Volume, Revenue and Profit.
PriceBeam Price Pack Architecture is part of the PriceBeam RGM360 Solution


What Does a PPA Study Reveal?
The PPA study is designed to provide customer insights into consumers' willingness to pay, feature preferences, and potential cannibalization. This is achieved through customized, pre-defined PPA questionnaires to understand purchasing behaviors, including pack size, occasion, and channel preferences. Additionally, PriceBeam's Simulator tool tests various scenarios for deeper analysis.
- What consumers are willing to pay.
- Which product variations are most appealing.
- Opportunities for new products or improvements.
- Cannibalization between products.

Challenges it Solves
Price Optimization Across Consumer Segments
Different consumer segments have varying willingness to pay. Pricing too high may alienate budget-conscious shoppers, while pricing too low may leave money on the table with premium buyers. A PPA study helps you identify optimal price points for each consumer segment.

Price Elasticity and Sensitivity
Pricing a product without knowing how sensitive consumers are to price changes can lead to either reduced sales or missed profit opportunities. A PPA study identifies consumer price elasticity, enabling companies to set prices that optimize sales without sacrificing margins.
Cannibalization
Introducing new products or pack sizes can cannibalize sales of existing products, affecting overall profitability. Through a PPA study you can forecast the potential impact of new pack sizes or pricing changes on existing SKUs, allowing companies to make informed decisions and mitigate cannibalization risk.

Aligning Pricing with Consumer Occasions and Needs
Consumers may buy the same product for different occasions (e.g., daily use vs. special occasions) but expect different price points and pack sizes to match their needs. PPA identifies how different occasions or usage contexts affect consumer price sensitivity and pack preferences, allowing companies to better align their offerings and be available at each occasion.

Webinar: PPA 2.0
Catch up on all our webinar on PPA 2.0 - Stop Shrinking to Glory. We explore PPA as a discipline in price optimization, which started as something akin to "shrinkflation": reduce the pack size but keep prices constant to improve margins. Now that no longer works, enter PPA 2.0.
