A. Factors Affecting the Price

1. Target Market – Hagerman Tax Firm’s target market is mid-level white collar business men and women. The target market wouldn’t mind paying a little bit of a premium to have their taxes done right.

2. Competition - TurboTax and others offer software that allows clients to do their own taxes. This software is cheaper than getting your taxes done by a professional. At Hagerman Tax Firm we can’t beat the competition in price but hopefully we can beat them in quality.

B. Pricing Strategy

1. Hagerman Tax Firm will use a moderate pricing strategy. The reason for this is that as a new company Hagerman Tax Firm would not have the cash to compete using penetration pricing. Because it is a tax firm and people will only need to use the firm once a year they might check prices every time they need to use the service. A premium pricing strategy would not work
