Traditional pricing models in CPG and retail were built for more stable times. Today, disruption from tariffs, shifting supply chains, and changing consumer behaviour often makes these models unreliable. When costs move quickly and demand signals fluctuate, old methods fail to provide the clarity businesses need. This session explores why many pricing models no longer hold up, and what to do instead. We’ll focus on how tariffs reshape cost structures and consumer willingness-to-pay, and how companies can adapt their strategies to protect margins while staying competitive. In this webinar, we cover: - Why traditional pricing models break down under today’s conditions. - How tariffs influence costs, margins, and consumer behaviour. - Practical ways to build resilience into your pricing approach. - Steps to connect pricing strategy with real-time market changes. ### Sign up here: **Pricing Right, Made Easy** Almost all companies struggle to price right. They use methods such as cost plus a fixed margin. They use guesses and gut feel. They peg their price to a competitor’s. They price themselves too low, leaving money on the table, or too high, forsaking sales volume. They lose out on the profits they should be earning. PriceBeam changes all that. With a methodology that is confirmed to be accurate in thousands of projects, PriceBeam provides AI-powered market insights software that generates actionable insights into consumers' willingness-to-pay, competitive price positioning, packaging and assortment dynamics, promotional benchmarking, and opportunities from new product pricing.
