酒店產品受到許多的因素影響,可控因素和不可控因素影響了酒店產品價格
酒店產品價格的制定要受到許多因素的影響,這些因素大致可以分為可控因素和不可控因素兩類,可控因素是營銷人員在定價時有能力調節控制的因素,反之則是不可控因素。
(一)可控因素
1.成本
成本是酒店定價時的注意依據,為了保證生產的順利實現,通過銷售,酒店既要收回成本,同時也要獲取一定的利潤。所以酒店產品的成本是酒店在正常市場環境中定價的最低點。一般來說,在成本不變的情況下,酒店產品價格與酒店利潤成正比關系,價格提高,酒店產品的利潤就高;價格越低,酒店產品的利潤就越低。所以產品成本低的酒店企業在制定價格時有效大的調整余地,在市場競爭中比較有利,比較容易獲得好的經濟效益。但過度強求削減成本也會使產品質量得不到保證,所以,
酒店市場營銷在定價時應根據自身的情況確定一個合適于成本的定價。
2.定價目標
酒店定價目標為定價者指明了方向,定價者也必須根據定價目標來制定價格,這樣才能實現最初的目標。同時,不同酒店的定價目標不同,隨之采取的具體定價方法也有差異。定價者要明確了解自己酒店的定價目標,選擇爭取的定價方法,才能制定出適合酒店的價格。
3.酒店產品特色
酒店產品的特色對酒店產品的定價有很大的影響。酒店產品的特色包括產品的質量、功能、服務等是否新穎,是否對消費者有吸引力;也包括產品聲譽的好壞,產品受關聯產品的影響程度等。若產品有特色、信譽好、在市場上不易受制約,不易被替代,則產品對市場會有較大的吸引力,呈現供不應求得供需關系,則價格自然比同類產品高許多。如果一個毫無特色的酒店,它的酒店產品缺乏吸引力,其營銷定價人員就往往不得不把價格降低,在市場處于被動的地位。
4.酒店的推銷能力
酒店營銷人員的營銷能力也是決定酒店產品定價的因素之一。如果酒店的銷售能力較強,銷售渠道多,不必擔心高價使產品大量滯銷,酒店就可以把自己酒店產品的價格定價得高一些。如銷售能力一般,或在銷售能力較弱的情況下,應適當調低價格以保證一定的銷售率。
(二)不可控因素
1.市場競爭
酒店的經營活動總是受競爭者的經營活動的制約。當酒店自身產品在優勢上有過于競爭對手之處,則定價時受對手的制約會較少,可以根據自己的意愿在價格上做較大幅度的調整,而不會在競爭中處于劣勢,可以根據自己的意愿在價格上做較大幅度的調整,而不會在競爭中處于劣勢。但競爭往往與市場供求有密切關系,供不應求,則競爭程度自然降低,供過于求,競爭程度加劇,價格在微小變動都會引起競爭局勢的變化。在現實中,競爭者采取怎樣的競爭價格,供求關系怎樣變化都不是認為能控制的。
2.供求關系
酒店客源的需求具有不穩定性,且不同層次的客人對價格的敏感性也不一樣,所以市場上的供需關系隨時處于變化之中。酒店作為供給一方,供大于求,酒店定價的自由度就相對較小,反之,就較大。
3.酒店中間商的力量
酒店中間在很大的程度上制約著酒店產品價格的制定,酒店如果過分依賴中間商進行產品銷售,自身對定價的掌控程度就會變得很小,甚至要與中間商商量著定價,酒店中間商作為旅游銷售渠道中一個獨立的經營者獲得了高額利潤。酒店應盡量減小對中間商的依賴,將產品定價僅把握在自己手里,才能實現酒店的經營目標。
4.匯率水平
匯率又稱為匯價或外匯行市,是指兩種不同貨幣之間的比價。兩個國家的兌換比例,取決于旅游目的地國家機構以各國貨幣為基礎所公布的匯率。當一國的貨幣發生變化的時候,相對其他各國貨幣的匯率也就隨之發生了變化,從而也影響了旅游酒店產品和價格的變化。如果本國貨幣的幣值有所上升,這樣,酒店產品的成本就會降低,因此酒店必須隨匯率的變動而不斷地調整產品的價格。
The hotel products are subject to many factors, controllable factors and uncontrollable factors affect the price of the hotel product
The hotel price should be formulated by a number of factors, these factors can be divided into controllable factors and uncontrollable factors into two categories, controllable factor is that marketers have the ability to adjust the control of the pricing, and vice versa is not controllable factors .
(A) controllable factors
1 cost
The cost for hotel pricing basis in order to ensure smooth production achieved through the sale of the hotel it is necessary to recover the cost, but also to obtain a certain profit. The hotel cost of the product is the lowest point of the hotel pricing in a normal market environment. In general, in the case of constant costs, hotel prices and hotel profits is proportional to higher prices, the profits of the hotel product; lower the price, the lower the profits of the hotel product. The low cost hotel companies in the effective room for adjustment in the pricing in the market competition more favorable, it is easier to get good economic benefits. However, excessive force to cut costs but also make the product quality can not be guaranteed, hotel marketing, pricing should be according to their own situation to determine an appropriate cost pricing.
(2) pricing objectives
Hotel pricing objectives for pricing by pointing out the direction, the pricing also must be based on the pricing objectives set prices so as to achieve the initial goal. At the same time, the hotel pricing objectives, along with specific pricing method is also different. Pricing must have a clear understanding of the pricing objectives of their hotel and choose to fight for the pricing method, in order to work out the price for the hotel.
3 Hotel Features
The characteristics of the hotel product has a great influence on the pricing of hotel products. Hotel product characteristics, including whether the innovative quality of the products, features, services, and whether appealing to consumers; including the quality of the product's reputation, the impact of associated products. If the product is unique, good reputation in the market less vulnerable to the constraints, can not easily be replaced, there will be more attractive products on the market, presented in short supply relationship between supply and demand, the price naturally higher than similar products of many. If a hotel without the characteristics of its hotel products less attractive, its marketing and pricing personnel often have to lower prices in a passive position in the market.
4 hotel marketing
Marketing of hotel marketing personnel in determining one of the factors of the hotel product pricing. If the hotel sales capability, sales channels, and do not have to worry about high prices make our products to a large number of slow-moving, the hotel can put the price of their hotel pricing too high. Such as the ability to sell, or in the case of weak sales ability, should be appropriate to reduce prices in order to ensure a certain rate of sales.
(B) of uncontrollable factors
(1) competition in the market
The business activities of the hotel is always subject to the constraints of the business activities of competitors. When the hotel's own product strengths too competitors, then the pricing would be less constrained by the opponent, to do more substantial adjustments in price according to their wishes, and not at a disadvantage in the competition, you can more substantial adjustment in price according to their wishes, and not at a disadvantage in the competition. But the competition is often closely related to market demand and supply, demand, the level of competition naturally reduce oversupply, competition intensified, the price of the small changes will cause changes in the competitive situation. In reality, the competitors take what kind of competitive prices, and how changes in the relationship between supply and demand do not think that can be controlled.
(2) the relationship between supply and demand
The hotel source of demand instability, and the guests of different levels of price sensitivity is not the same, so the relationship of supply and demand on the market at any time change. The hotel as a party supply, oversupply, hotel pricing freedom is relatively small, on the contrary, it is larger.
Hotel brokers force
Hotel intermediate constraints to a large extent with the formulation of the hotel price, hotel if over-reliance on brokers sales, itself becomes small degree of control of the pricing, or even to discuss pricing and brokers, hotels middle provider as an independent business travel sales channels to obtain high profits. The hotel should try to reduce dependence on middlemen, product pricing is only grasp in their own hands in order to achieve the hotel's business objectives.
(4) exchange rate
Exchange rate, also known as the exchange rate or foreign exchange market price means the price ratio between two different currencies. Exchange ratio of the two countries, depending on the tourist destination of national institutions in national currencies, the exchange rate announced by the foundation. Change when a country's currency relative to other national currencies will occur along with changes, which also affected the tourist hotel products and price changes. If the value of its currency to rise, the hotel cost of the product will be reduced, so the hotel must continue to adjust product prices with the exchange rate movements.
