Product Pricing The cost of an “everyday low price” toy: $19.95. The cost of a Rolex watch: $2,465. A great paper explaining why corporations put these prices on products: priceless.

Marketing Principles PRODUCT INNOVATION AND PROMOTION PROJECT Our assignment is to create and promote an innovative product. In developing a new product, we started with an idea generation.
