Dynamic Pricing
Dynamic Pricing
Every client and agency can reap the benefits of dynamic pricing, which applies a discount for each booking depending on the following five criteria: seasonality, sales volume, placement, timing, and flexibility. In addition to dynamic discounts, clients and agencies continue to receive a contract discount depending on gross annual turnover. This discount is calculated using a standard scale for print discounts.
How do I use dynamic pricing?
Dynamic pricing requires use of the print Marketplace, which includes an automated calculation function. The dynamic pricing discount breaks down as follows:
Dynamic Online Discount
By using Dynamic Pricing, all customers receive a Dynamic Online discount of 6 %.
Criterion 1: Seasonality
A seasonality discount of 0 % to 4 % is applied to all issues from the Ringier Media Switzerland portfolio. The discounts for the individual issues are clearly displayed, can be referred to in the PDF at any time, and are fixed for the duration of one fiscal year. The maximum discount for this criterion is 4 %.
Criterion 2: Placement
Each newspaper and magazine offers different placement options. The discount for each placement is calculated based on its attractiveness, demand and issue. This means that different discounts can be applied to the same placement in different issues. The maximum discount for this criterion is 4 %.
Criterion 3: Timing
A specific target utilisation rate applies to each issue of a title. Depending on the extent to which a title is already utilised at the time of booking, the discount varies from 0 % to 8 %.
| Target sales reached with print | Discount |
|---|---|
| < 50 % | 8 % |
| 50 % bis < 70 % | 6 % |
| 70 % bis < 90 % | 5 % |
| 90 % bis < 100 % | 3 % |
| 100 % bis < 110 % | 2 % |
| 110 % bis < 125 % | 1 % |
| ab 125 % | 0 % |
Criterion 4: Flexibility
An additional 2 % discount will be granted for a non-cancellable fixed booking, which will be deducted from the gross price in advance. Such a booking can no longer be cancelled before the advertising deadline. In individual cases (lack of print material, etc.) a postponement to the next issue is permitted, in the case of daily newspapers by a maximum of one week. The maximum discount to be achieved under this criterion is 2 %.
Final Discount
The following final discount scale applies for all customers who are using dynamic pricing.
| Gross sales (after dynamic discount) in CHF | Closing discount |
|---|---|
| 100,000 | 2 % |
| 200,000 | 3 % |
| 300,000 | 4 % |
| 400,000 | 5 % |
| 500,000 | 6 % |
| 750,000 | 7 % |
| 1,000,000 | 8 % |
| 1,250,000 | 9 % |
| 1,500,000 | 10 % |
| 1,750,000 | 11 % |
| 2,000,000 | 12 % |
| 2,500,000 | 13 % |
| 3,000,000 | 14 % |
| 3,500,000 | 15 % |
