- AS Plc produce sports cars which are seen as 'special' and the more unique the product, the higher price it can be charged.
- Promotion used
- A higher price can be charged as branding through advertising can to differentiate the product from it's rivals, making it appear superior to others in the market place, even if the basic product is the same
- Position in the product life cycles
