Cheap, Cheaper, for Free – the Strategy of Low Prices and the Zero Price

Summary/Abstract: An aim of considerations is to present the concept of zero price and its possible ties with the strategy of low prices, being an example of the traditional perception of pricing strategies. The author undertook an attempt to answer the question: Is the zero-price strategy an evolution/deepening of the low-price strategy or the concept based on different assumptions? In her work, she used the subject literature focusing on the issue of influencing consumers’ behaviours with price as well as took into account the examples illustrating the practical application of both price solutions. Having analysed the essence of the known for a long time low-price strategy and the zero-price concept – whose popularity is apparently increasing in the off-line and on-line environment – it is proper to indicate the difference of the zero-price strategy and that of an even very low price. No doubt, the former of the mentioned is not a deepening of the latter – the zero price has not evolved from the idea of the low-price strategy due to the different mechanisms of perception of the free offer and (very) cheap. The article is of the conceptual nature.
