premium pricing
High-end cost strategy
Premium pricing is a strategy of setting prices higher than competitors to signal superior quality, exclusivity, or prestige.
The approach relies on perception—customers pay more because they believe they're getting something better or because the high price itself confers status: Apple's premium pricing reinforces its brand image.
The strategy works best when products can be differentiated through quality, design, or brand reputation.
