Book Description
Excerpt from Consumer Awareness and Use of Unit Pricing Unit pricing is the price per unit measure (quart, ounce, pound, etc.) of various products. Its use enables shoppers to compare prices between stated sizes and brands of products more easily. Unit prices for most grocery products are displayed beneath the items on small tags or on labels attached to the shelves. In the case of meat, poultry, and fish items, the label is placed directly on the package. Meat, poultry, and fish items have carried unit prices for years. Unit pricing for most other food and nonfood items is relatively new. Since its introduction in the late sixties, unit pricing has been voluntarily practiced by many grocery stores. Recently, however, eight States and six local jurisdictions have made unit pricing mandatory. 1/ Findings from earlier studies have pointed to limited consumer awareness of unit pricing. 2/ Lack of consumer education and few materials explaining the system to consumers mav have been major causes.

Unit Pricing
Author: Lena HimbertPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3658134763
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
With a series of experiments, Lena Himbert highlights the influence of the unit price’s unit of measure on the consumer’s price-level perception and quality perception. Furthermore, this thesis shows that the unit price availability and prominence influences the consumer’s store price image. When shopping for pre-packaged products, consumers are offered a variety of product and price information at the point of purchase. The unit price represents price information given to the consumer for which the factor package size is removed and thereby lowers the information load for consumers in the shopping situation. However, retailers have considerable leeway concerning the unit price format. Aspects that can be varied are for example the unit of measure (e.g., price per kg vs price per 100 g) or font size. There is little to no previous research that gives advice to retailers how they should indicate the unit price on the price label.
