Pr<strong>of</strong>it Model <strong>Innovation</strong><br />
Premium<br />
Forced Scarcity<br />
Switchboard<br />
Flexible Pricing<br />
Licensing<br />
Price at a higher margin<br />
than competitor, usually<br />
for a superior product,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering, experience,<br />
service or brand.<br />
Limit the supply <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings available, by<br />
quantity, time frame or<br />
access, to drive up<br />
demand and/or prices.<br />
Connect multiple sellers<br />
with multiple buyers;<br />
the more buyers and<br />
sellers to join, the more<br />
valuables the<br />
switchboard.<br />
Vary prices for an<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering based on<br />
demand<br />
Grant permission to<br />
some other group or<br />
individual to use your<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering in a defined<br />
way for a specified<br />
payment<br />
Cost Leadership<br />
Subscription<br />
Auction<br />
Float<br />
Metered Use<br />
Keep variable costs low<br />
and sell high volumes at<br />
low prices.<br />
Scaled<br />
Transactions<br />
Create predictable cash<br />
flows by charging<br />
customers up front (a one<br />
time or recurring fee) to<br />
have access to the<br />
product/ service over<br />
time.<br />
Membership<br />
Allow a market-and its<br />
users- to set the price<br />
for goods and services<br />
User-Defined<br />
Receive payment prior<br />
to building the <strong>of</strong>feringand<br />
use the cash to earn<br />
interest prior to making<br />
margins<br />
Financing<br />
Allow customers to pay<br />
for only what they use<br />
Bundled Pricing<br />
Maximise margins by<br />
pursuing high volume,<br />
large scale transaction<br />
when unit costs are<br />
relatively fixed.<br />
Charge a time-based<br />
payment to permit<br />
access to locations,<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings, or services<br />
that non-member does<br />
not have.<br />
Invite customers to set<br />
a price they wish to pay<br />
Capture revenue not<br />
directly from the sale <strong>of</strong><br />
a product, but from a<br />
structured payment<br />
plans and after-sale<br />
interest.<br />
Sell in a single<br />
transaction two or more<br />
items that could be sold<br />
as standable <strong>of</strong>ferings<br />
Microtransactions<br />
Installed Base<br />
Freemium<br />
Ad-Supported<br />
Disaggregate<br />
Pricing<br />
Risk Sharing<br />
Sell many items for as<br />
little as a dollar- or<br />
deven only one cent- to<br />
drive impulse purchases<br />
at volume.<br />
Offer a [core] product for<br />
slim margins (or even a<br />
loss) to drive demand and<br />
loyalty; then realise pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
on additional product and<br />
services.<br />
Offer basic services for<br />
free, while charging a<br />
premium for advanced<br />
or special features<br />
Provide content/<br />
services for free to one<br />
party while selling<br />
listeners, viewers or<br />
*eyeballs* to another<br />
party<br />
Allow customers to buy<br />
exactly-and only-what<br />
they want.<br />
Waive standard<br />
fees/costs if certain<br />
metrics aren‘t achieved,<br />
but receive outsize<br />
gains when they are.
