                       Pricing and the Psychology of Consumption
       Ask any executive how pricing policies influence the demand for a product or service, and you’ll get a confident, well-reasoned reply。Ask that same executive how pricing policies affect consumption—the extent to which customers use products or services that they’ve  (19)  for—and you’ll get a muted response at best. It is found that managers rarely, if ever, think about consumption when they  (20)  prices—and that be an  (21)  oversight.

And a customer who doesn’t use a product is unlikely to buy that product again. Executives who  (33)  those pricing tactics without considering their impact on consumption may be trading off long-term customer retention for shorf-term increases in sales.   [br]
