MARKETING PRICING POLICY OF RETAIL CHAINS

Background. The problems of marketing pricing policy in the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are attracting more and more attention. In particular, there is a need for a theoretical generalization of the pricing practice of retail chains. 
Analysis of recent research and publications has revealed that theproblem of analysis of the practice of formation and implementation of pricing policy by retail chains in Ukraine is not solved. 
The aim of the article is to form a methodical approach to the analysis of marketing pricing policy of retail chains in the Ukrainian market, determining their price positioning, as well as tools for differentiating price proposals through promotions and loyalty programs. 
Materials and methods. Materials of 13 scientific works were used. Methods of calcu­lation of relative and average values were used to determine the price positioning of retail chains; comparison and grouping were used to systematize price promotions and loyalty programs; logical method was used to formulate conclusions about the peculiarities of marketing pricing of retail chains. 
Results. The essence and basic decisions of marketing pricing policy are consi­dered. A methodical approach to the analysis of the pricing policy of retail trade networks is proposed. The price positioning of the leading food retail chains, the features of their price actions and loyalty programs are determined. 
Conclusion. The pricing policy of retail chains is aimed at diversifying prices for the buyers in order to complicate competitive comparisons, but in the general level of pri­ces and tools for their differentiation there is a tendency to the strategic positioning of each chain. 
Keywords: price, marketing pricing policy, retail chains, price variation, position­ning, price promotions, loyalty programs.
