PRICING OF JAGUAR F TYPE COUPE

Pricing of Jaguar F Type Coupe is made under the concept of value based pricing. Although
personalized car supply, handmade and hand finished car costs more than the other cars
which are made by machines. But the pricing of F Type Coupe depend mainly on the its
brand value to the customers and its royal and lavish status. It only targets those customers
who can afford to buy such a car. The price tag makes the F Type Coupe more exclusive. But
it has a lower price than its previous model XJ, because it is the simplest version of XJ.

buyers of Jaguar believe this. So, Jaguar is not price sensitive. The target Customer may
not consider the price.

SALES PROMOTION OF JAGUAR F TYPE COUPE:

To get to these customers and to keep them Rolls Royce employs a series of unique
marketing approaches. The LA Times report says that Rolls Royce doesn't engage in cobranding endeavours. Dealers are chosen based on their common interests with customers.
Customers are invited to exclusive dinners where contacts are made and deals struck. Buyers
receive surprises in the mail, like a personalized letter from the CEO or a coffee-table book
about the brand anything to make the customers feel special, in the hopes that they will
replace their Rolls Royce with another at the right time. And many do: in the US, nearly a
third of business comes from repeat customers. That's a customer loyalty rate that doesn't
come easy, but it helps when your direct competition is a yacht or private jet. Jaguar
encourages customers to take advantage of the bespoke nature of its build process, allowing
buyers to select the woods, paints and leathers used to finish the car. A tour of the factory
confirms that much of the car is hand built, although I was disappointed to learn that no
longer are the radiator shells crafted in-house and signed by a single artisan, but rather come
from a supplier. This is another way of sales promotion to the customers
