price-cutting
Lowering retail amounts
Price-cutting is the practice of reducing prices, usually to undercut competitors or stimulate sales.
The term often carries a slightly aggressive connotation—businesses engage in price-cutting wars, and the strategy can squeeze profit margins: Aggressive price-cutting forced several smaller retailers out of business.
As a modifier: price-cutting measures, price-cutting tactics.
