The most common product I purchase would have to be organic foods from the grocery store. Although these foods are from different producers, I feel as though most if not all utilize marking skimming as their marketing strategy for pricing their goods. Many organic foods are priced much higher than the average food product, usually doubling in cost, if not more. I have yet to find an organic food product that was the same price or cheaper than your typical comparable food item at the store. With the use of market skimming, organic food companies are focused on selling to buyers who value their product and recognize that a quality product or food source comes with a price. People who prefer to eat organic foods are typically inclined to pay whatever price that product comes with, since finding organic foods can be challenging to begin with. Since there are not as many organic food producers as there are non-organic food producers, target consumers have no choice but to purchase whatever…

Crest is the item I choose. Instead of trying to maximize profits initially with a high price, as would be done with a "market skimming" strategy, Crest primarily uses a market penetration pricing strategy for its toothpaste products. This means that they set a relatively low price to quickly gain a significant market share and attract a large customer base. Since Crest toothpaste is positioned as a dependable, well-known brand with a solid reputation for cavity prevention, supported by in-depth research and the American Dental Association's (ADA) seal of approval, its pricing typically reflects its perceived value. For many users, the toothpaste's perceived quality and effectiveness make the price point justifiable. A more aggressive price-competitive strategy could potentially capture more market share by attracting price-conscious buyers, but it might also impact brand perception if not carefully managed alongside quality messaging. Crest toothpaste's lower…

- Did the standards result in safer and more effective firefighting crews, or were they inadvertently keeping women out of a traditionally male job? The standards were designed to ensure that all firefighters, regardless of gender, could perform the physically demanding tasks required in firefighting. However, the fact that a significantly lower percentage of women were able to pass the test suggests that the standards may have inadvertently acted as a barrier to women entering the profession. Was this a BFOQ? The ministry was challenged on the basis of sex discrimination. What did the Supreme Court rule, and what was its reasoning? A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) is a quality or attribute that employers are allowed to consider when making decisions on the hiring and retention of employees.
