It's not "Pick of the Pops", but "Pick of the Pricing"! 

We're lucky enough to see pricing rules applied across many different sectors. In this episode we pick our top five, and also share with you, the pricing rules that don't live up to all the hype! 

We cover competitor pricing, rounding rules (psychological pricing), marketing rules, pricing safeguards, and more.

It can feel like anything you do is immediately countered by your competitors.

On the last day of March, this year, I hosted a Live Retail Pricing Q&A, joined by Rob Horton (BlackCurve Product Director).
