Definition
Kotler & Keller describe price as “the amount of money charged for a product or service — the sum of the values that consumers exchange for the benefits of having or using it.”

Introduction
Price is the only “P” that brings money in; all others spend it. It signals quality, positions a brand, and determines profitability.

Explanation
1️⃣ Communicates value and position.
2️⃣ Affects demand and profitability.
3️⃣ Must align with other Ps (product quality, promotion message, place).

Key Takeaways

Price turns perceived value into revenue.

It’s both a marketing and financial decision.

Poor pricing can destroy even great products.
