Advanced sale of service capacities: a theoretical analysis of the impact of price sensitivity on pricing and capacity allocations
Article Abstract:
This market research focuses on whether service companies should sell in advance, and what market price sensitivity there may be in advance sales. When companies do offer advanced sale, capacity use and profits are higher, even when advanced sale prices are discounted. Optimal pricing and capacity allocations for advanced sale are related to the expected price sensitivity at the time of use.
