Pricing is the cornerstone of any business strategy, directly influencing revenue, customer behavior, and overall profitability. Two distinct yet interconnected models in modern pricing strategies are Variable Pricing and Dynamic Pricing. Both allow businesses to adjust their prices based on market conditions, demand, and other key factors, but they differ in their approach and application.

What is Variable Pricing?

Variable Pricing is a pricing model where prices fluctuate based on specific conditions or combinations of factors. These factors may include:

  • Day of the Week (DOW): Prices can vary on different days (e.g., higher on weekends like Saturday and Sunday).
  • Date: Pricing can be adjusted based on specific calendar dates, such as holidays or special events.
  • Time Period: Prices may change during certain times of the day (e.g., between 4 pm and 5 pm).
  • Time Slot: Pricing could differ for specific time slots (e.g., only for the 4 pm slot).
  • Booking Period: Prices may be influenced by how far in advance the booking is made.
  • Booking Date Range: Pricing can vary based on when a booking is made (e.g., book between date A and date B for a different price).
  • Capacity Count: Prices can fluctuate as capacity fills up or when certain thresholds are met (e.g., a different price when capacity drops below 50).
  • Variable pricing gives businesses the flexibility to react to specific conditions and optimize revenue based on demand and availability.
