Market Peneration is a pricing strategy that in which product or services are provided initially at lower prices with a view to capture market share. It happens usually when there is a tough competition in the market for the product or service that your company is offering.
Market skimming is the strategy in which the product is launched initially at higher price such is the case with technological products the manufacturers try to get the maximum return from the product before the rivals launched the subtitute of their product.
