<\/a>implementing service differentiation, direct sales and promotion. by august j. aquila<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n economists define demand as a schedule of the various amounts of an item (a good or service) that buyers will purchase at different price ranges during a given time period. according to the theory of price elasticity of demand, there is an inverse relationship between price and the quantity of an item bought. in other words, as the price of a service decreases, the quantity demanded increases and as the price of a service increases, the quantity demanded decreases.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>the four phases of service life<\/a> | what we know about pricing strategies<\/a> | make the most of your marketing mix<\/a> | marketing orientation is what firms need<\/a> | when hourly billing hurts profits<\/a> it\u2019s very difficult for professional service firms to increase demand by offering a special pricing. for example, if a law firm offered a discount divorce, would happily married couples look for a divorce, or if an accountant offered a lower price for an irs tax examination, would people who did not receive a notice be at all interested?. in short, it has been difficult for most cpa firms to accurately estimate the demand for their services. in the accounting profession, it appears that the demand for most services is inelastic. for example, many firms that have raised fees have found that the quantity has decreased slightly, but that overall revenue has increased. a firm could determine the market size for a given service and then price that service accordingly to the increased demand for its service at a given price. in other words, you find out that 300,000 corporate tax returns were filed last year in your market. if you think you are in an area with elastic demand you will want to lower your fees. this may increase demand for the service and give you a great total revenue. if you believe that you have inelastic demand then you will want to raise your fees, which, in turn, would lessen the demand but provide you with overall greater revenue.<\/p>\n obviously, demand will be completely different in each market and for each service. for example, the demand for compliance work in accounting shrinks in direct proportion to the number of mergers that take place each year. conversely, if the economy in your area is growing and new businesses are being formed, then you will experience a greater demand for those services.<\/p>\n

\na critical aspect of pricing is the elasticity of demand or the responsiveness of your clients to a change in the pricing of your services. demand can be either elastic or inelastic. if demand is elastic, a decrease in your fees will result in an increase in demand and an overall increase in total revenue. if demand is inelastic, a decrease in your fees \u2013 even a significant decrease \u2013 may have little positive effect on the demand of your services, thus resulting in a decrease in overall total revenue. inelasticity also exists when the price increase times the quantity demanded results in an increase in total revenue.<\/p>\n
